Accommodations & Meals
You’ll stay in an upscale hotel in Orlando, carefully selected based on safety, security, location, amenities, and comfort. Your accommodations will provide a comfortable home base throughout your ski and service adventure, with private bathrooms. For safety and security reasons, we do not publish the names of the hotels we use. After enrolling, students and parents will receive the name of the accommodation for the trip.
The standard room configuration is two students per room. All students complete a detailed roommate questionnaire, and roommates are matched based on age and common interests. Of course, if you’re traveling with a friend, you can request to room together!

Safety & Supervision
At ACA, we believe safety comes first. That’s why we maintain a ten-to-one student-to-staff ratio – one of the lowest in the industry! This lets us offer unmatched attention and unique personalized programs.
As part of our commitment to student safety, ACA staff members live on every student-occupied floor and accompany students on all activities and excursions. ACA also uses chartered coach and taxi services to get around town, never public transportation. All ACA staff members are always equipped with cellphones.
The hotel adds an additional element of security, as well. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day with trained personnel for your comfort and convenience.

Of course, parents are also welcome to drive students to ACA directly. Contact our office for further information on any of these travel options.
Students will return home from Orlando Airport (MCO). We will have designated outbound flight times for you to schedule. ACA staff will help you with check-in and stay at the airport until your flight takes off.
