Championship Experience Updates

PARK RESERVATIONS – Disney Park Pass System

• NEW: If you purchase a Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option from Varsity Spirit, you will be able to make a reservation for at least one of the theme parks. It is a possibility that some parks may reach capacity so we strongly recommend you register / pay early so you can get your tickets and book your reservations for your top choices. If the first park you would like to attend reaches capacity, you can make a reservation for another park and then “hop” to your top choice after 2 PM that day.
• To help manage Park capacity, the Walt Disney World Resort has introduced the Disney Park Pass service, a new Theme Park reservation system. Once you register and pay in full, Varsity Spirit will send you a ticket order confirmation number in 7-10 business days and details on how to make your reservation, including how to create your account, make park reservations and how to use MagicMobile.
• In order to make your Theme Park reservations, you will need a My Disney Experiences account and valid Theme Park admission linked to it. Then, simply log into your account and select the dates and Theme Parks you wish to visit. To enter a Theme Park, both a reservation and valid admission for the same Park on the same date are required. Please note that reservations are limited in capacity, subject to availability and are not guaranteed until confirmed.
• Please note that NO changes/upgrades are possible after ticket orders have been placed. And remember, no Disney Park Hopper tickets will be sold on site during registration this year.

PREPARING FOR TRAVEL

• All athletes and coaches MUST complete a Release Waiver form and turn them in at registration at the hotel. Spectators are not required to turn in a Release Waiver.
• All attendees are expected to consider whether a traveler is or will be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before your trip dates. According to CDC guidance, persons should wait 2 weeks after completing vaccination for COVID-19 before traveling. Vaccination is not required and documentation of vaccination will not be collected by or provided to Disney or Varsity Spirit.
• All attendees are expected to confirm that each traveler, not fully vaccinated, has a negative viral test taken no more than 1–3 days before travel. Test results will not be collected by or provided to Disney or Varsity Spirit. Any members of your group with confirmed positive test results cannot travel to the Walt Disney World Resort.
• It is expected that all members of your group, not fully vaccinated, 14 days before travel, follow strict CDC guidelines, including physical distancing, wearing face coverings when not at home, avoiding unnecessary travel, and refrain from indoor social gatherings with people outside of their households, to reduce the exposure of COVID-19.
• Before traveling to Florida, please make sure that you have reviewed any advisories or restrictions that may be in place for travel to Florida. Click here for information.

SAFETY CHAMPION

• NEW: Each team, regardless if you are staying on the hotel travel package or a commuter, will need to designate one person (other than the head coach) to be your Safety Champion. This person will need to be confirmed upon registration, over 18 years of age and willing to participate in additional safety training from the Walt Disney World Resort prior to the event. Each team is required to have a separate Safety Champion (Ex: If you bring two different teams from the same program, you need two different designated individuals.)
• Some of the Safety Champion’s responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
  • Ensuring the athletes, coaches and spectators of your team follow the health and safety requirements such as face coverings indoors, etc.

EXPERIENCE UPDATES

This includes upon entering and throughout all indoor venues, attractions and indoor queues and in Disney buses, monorail, any Championship tent and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status. This includes the athletes except when on the practice and performance floors. Face coverings are optional for Guests in outdoor areas.
