REU Disney Trip - 2020
***IMPORTANT***
Trip Information
(Updated 5/3/2020)
Dear REU Families,
As you know the original trip to Disney has had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak and social distancing.
We have secured the money from Music Trip, the company was utilized to arrange our trip.
We were notified by that company that they have charged a $45 administrative fee for each student and chaperone that purchases the full tour through them. (Please see attached letter from MusicTrip.)Those of you that paid for only park hopper passes you will not be charged that administrative fee.
For those that paid $693 for the tour package your reimbursement amount that is available is $648 per package purchased.
Those that purchased park hopper passes separately can be reimbursed at the purchase price.
Reimbursement amounts will not include any PayPal convenience fees that were charged.
We have a few options regarding funds that were returned.
Option 1 - Mr. Miller has arranged for a potential Disney trip. The new dates are July 21 through 24. This would be the same package as the April trip.
For those that are interested, Rodriguez Music Boosters will hold those funds for you until such time as the trip details have been arranged, and you indicate that your student will be participating. A decision date as to whether these dates are feasible will be made no later than June 27. Administrative fee discussed previously will not be charged again for those students that select this option.
Option 2 - For those of you that have fair share balances outstanding those funds can be applied to those balances. If you would like to apply those funds toward the upcoming fall season fair share that can be accommodated and much appreciated.
Option 3 - You may request a refund of $648 per package purchased and we will arrange payment to be made as soon as possible.
The primary point of contact for all refunds is Anna Daley.
You can email her at rhseuacctmgr@yahoo.com regarding refunds and applying any of these funds towards fair share.
Please note: Rodriguez Music Boosters is only a pass-through organization for the funds paid to Music Trip Inc. Any questions regarding the $45 administrative fee need to be directed to Eric Spidell, eric@musictrip.com, 310-373-0112.

Credit card payments can be made via the PayPal link below. Please note that the payment will show a 'tax' on the receipt. This is not a tax but is the recouping of the fees PayPal charges (Approx 3.25%) so that RHSEU receives the full intended amount.
Note: There is a slight difference in the payment breakdown in the PayPal vs. the printed form. Don't be worried about this - the important part (and purpose) is to break up the total cost into smaller payments. The only requirement is that the full $693 is paid by the end of January.
