Hi, Ladies! My daughter checked out the group. She says they don’t bother with actually making the the trips educational. She’s decided to try and put together a Disney curriculum herself. Maybe it’ll be in her blog one day. Meanwhile, search for “Disney homeschool” on Facebook to find the groups.

We are HUGE believers that the world is a classroom and that includes fun places like Disney. Who says learning only takes place in boring or dull spots? Seriously!!!

This summer we took our first Disney cruise. Husband was sadly cooped up almost the entire trip in the room on conference calls with work so the kids and I did the whole thing solo. What an adventure. There was so much learning that doesn’t fall into a neat typical school ‘category’. How about learning how to greet people like the servers at meal times? How about feeling independent and going into the kids’ area alone? How about figuring out how the hand washing machines worked? (They were very car wash like and awesome!) How about working on attention to detail skills and noticing all the thematic details in the restaurants? (Even the bread baskets looked like little Cinderella carriages and the butter knives were shaped like paint brushes!) I FIRMLY believe that the entire world is a classroom!!

We always read about destinations before we go on a trip and I’ve created destination specific reading lists. This helps give kids background knowledge before they go and helps the learning ‘stick’. How sad are the people who go on large tours and think, “It is Tuesday so it must be Germany.” and then come home and are unable to identify their photos!! Not educational travelers!! We read about pirates and learned that sand is a size…not a rock type.
