Disney Insitute Activities Moved?

[Agent]

I couldn't find a topic on this, but I was looking for some of the classes WDW used to hold as part of the Disney Institute. Are they still available through some of the different resorts?

My dad can't do the parks anymore, but still wants to go. I know there are golf lessons (which he will probably do), but what other elssons are there available?

Thanks to all.

Thanks for the response. That is for the business "school" for lack of a better word. The Disney Institute seemed to morph into that a few years ago.

What I am looking for is stuff like the fishing, parasailing or golf lessons that they currently offer. WDW used to offer art classes, etc. that did not require park admission in order to enjoy. Since my dad can't sit in the rides anymore (bad knee) and doesn'tt much enjoy WDW anyway (travesty), I wanted to find something for him to do as well.

Any thoughts?

Some of the old DI stuff is still there but most has gone the way of the dinosaur. This link has quite a bit of information about things outside the parks. It should be more inline with what you are looking for.

Great. Thanks. If that doesn't help, I'll keep an eye out.

If you are talking about the paid fishing excursions, etc, try looking under Recreation on the Disney World website. Here is a link.

When I linked into the fishing topic it took me to the Wide World of Sports fishing page.

The phone number is (407) 939-BASS(2277).

I am an advid fisherman and have done the excursion twice and its well worth the $$. It is catch and release however.
