SCHOOL TRIP: Juniors

As the junior class steps out off the Floo network, they're immediately hit by the humidity, in stark contrast with dry Utah. The excitement amongst the students (even if it's not totally unanimous) is palpable. They file onto buses, and soon they're on their way to the most magical place on earth. Everyone breaks out in high pitched teenage elation as the bus passes under the gate the proclaims this is the place where dreams come true. The Disney bus driver quips and jokes with the boisterous highschoolers.

Students are given packets that contain their hotel room key, park passes, allowance, a description of their dining plan and tickets, the itinerary, and a basic list of rules. For the most part, it looks like they'll have a lot of freedom, so long as they don't break any rules. "This is going to be great," Mr. Elmasty proclaims, who seems happy to be a kid more than a teacher this weekend.

HOW THIS WORKS

The junior class is visiting Orlando, Florida! They'll be staying in the Pop Century Resort.

They're in a block of rooms on the third floor of a set of buildings themed for 80's and 80's pop culture. The nearest swimming pool is themed like a 90's laptop.

Staff presence: Ms. Rhee, Mr. Elmasry, Ms. Whittle

Students will have to go through the North American Floo network, so they can't have any contraband in their bags, such as weapons or drugs. After arriving at the MACUSA Floo hub in Orlando, they'll be taken to their hotel on Disney property.

For the two non-travel days, in the morning there will be a set school activity that's mandatory, and in the evenings students can do whatever they want to.
- Friday: Our Body, The Universe Within / Orlando Science Center. Students leave at 9:00 AM, and return to the hotel at 3:00 PM
- Saturday: Disney World. Just... go. The staff knows that's the only reason you're here.
Juniors are given an allowance of $15 per day for food and leisure, as well as a Disney Dining Plan and a 3 day Parkhopper ticket to Disney World. Using the dining plan, students may spend "credits" on meals, allowing even those with minimal funds to go to expensive restaurants in Disney World if they strategize. Nice! Any room charges will come out of your character's allowance. They may spend their own personal money however they please.

Curfew is 12:00 AM. Teachers will come through to make sure everyone is in their rooms. The only exception is for the students who are staying out later for "Extra Magic Hours" on Friday and Saturday night at the Magic Kingdom. Mr. Elmasry will stay out until 1:00 AM with students opting to do this, and he'll return to the hotel with them.

Students are not allowed to take their wands into the Disney parks due to the International Statute of Secrecy. The staff give everyone a lecture reminding them about keeping their magic use under wraps.

The park will be busy because it's Thanksgiving Weekend, and it will be decorated for Christmas already. The weather will be fairly mild for Florida, but still expect heat and humidity.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS BEING POSTED ON 11/22, STUDENTS WILL NOT ACTUALLY BE LEAVING UNTIL THE MORNING OF 11/23!

Austin looks over at Solo and he just, like, blinks at him for a full second. There are just so many people here, and he doesn't understand how this can be construed as anything other than a park full of misery.

"The line-standing ride seems real popular," he says, trying to hide how funny he finds his own damn self.

Solomon doesn't have to hide how funny he finds Austin because he's not a grumpy butt. He smiles brilliantly at Austin's joke. "That was funny. But if you just walk around the park all day, you'll die from dehydration because you'll sweat to death. And I'm not emotionally mature enough to attend your funeral yet."

"Well the food costs too much money here," he says. There's some kind of strategy to the dining pass, but he doesn't know if he wants to figure it out. Disney is a scam, you guys, why is he the only one smart enough to realize this? Gosh, y'all really need him. "So I guess it's stand in line for a water ride" (which, holy shit, everyone wanted to do, fucking obviously) "or spend all our money on a bottle of water and subsist on that shit for a couple days." It's not quite that dire, Austin, calm your tits.

After a pause that was honestly too long to seem super cool, he adds: "But, like, what ride do you wanna ride?"

Solomon's face lights up, because this is clearly Austin accepting his fate and agreeing to actually take part in fun. "A rollercoaster," he says, with no hesitation and no attempt at being cool. "Wanna go on a rollercoaster, Austin? It'll be fun. And it'll dry the sweat on your face. And if you're actually hungry, i think I can afford like... half a corn dog maybe?" He looks so hopeful and helpful as he offers that. Austin need not worry, he won't be starving on Solomon's watch.

"I ain't about to eat half a $20 corn dog even if I did eat meat," Austin says. He'll starve on Solomon's watch if he wants to starve on Solomon's watch, you'll see. "Know what, how about I get some cotton candy, go on one rollercoaster, throw it all up, then never wanna eat again, and all our problems will be solved."
