EPCOT and AK are nothing but educational.. you have science, social studies, biology, and geography all tied up in a pretty little package disguised as theme parks.

LOL. It's "educational" to watch your parents try to BS your teacher and principal into selling a family vacation as an "educational enhancement opportunity".
Why is it BS? Our school system allows this so a child can learn. We were able to do it for a cruise last year.
With every visit, I stand in awe of the educational value of Captain EO and TriceraTop Spin.
Can you give us an idea of what the school requires to validate it as educational? Does she have to do a report? Does it need to include all/most subjects or just one subject? Do you have to justify every day or just the number of days she's missing?
This might help us help you and her to find the best educational value of your trip without making the whole trip about education.
Today is the first day of school here so I am letting the teacher know tomorrow and the trip is not not ill October. I am giving them way more than 2 weeks.I am in my 31st year of teaching, and so have seen my fair share of Disney trips. I ask one thing of my parents when they take trips-PLEASE let me know two weeks ahead of time about your trip. That way I can sit down and work with your child on work BEFORE they go on a trip. That way the kids...#1 do NOT have to take work with them on a vacation (who the heck wants that) and #2 they are all caught up upon their return. My point-don't just fill in the form, remember to also talk to the teacher(s).
As to the question, what makes Disney educational, at our school, at least, no one really cares.
Hope this helps.
