Attractions | View all attractions: Click here

When planning, please note that Disney tickets must be purchased by park, day and ticket type. Unfortunately, because of the new park reservation requirement, changes cannot be made, and these tickets are non-refundable.

Once SCDC has concluded, you may log in to the DECA Online Registration System to place your chapter’s order. The option in the online membership system under the “Conferences” tab will not be visible until your association conference begins.

Because of the reservation requirement and limited availability of tickets, there is no flexibility for order adjustments and refunds this year. You will be obligated to your ticket order, so please ensure it is accurate before submitting it.

Because of the limited number of tickets available and to accommodate the span of conference dates, DECA will release tickets at 10:00 a.m. PST on March 1 and March 15.

Please order your tickets as soon as you confirm your chapter’s total attendance to ICDC, so if there is high demand, DECA can work with the theme parks to secure additional tickets, if possible.

Attraction tickets cannot be sent via mail or email. They are available for pickup only by the chapter advisor at the Orange County Convention Center. 

If you have questions, please get in touch with DECA's Experience Coordinator, Kylie Knudsen at kylie@deca.org.

Airfare Discounts

These discounts are available for all attendees to use in their travel plans.

In-N-Out East Coast Strategy

Since 1948, there hasn’t been a single In-n-Out Burger east of the Mississippi. But in 2023, the burger joint announced its new Eastern HQ in Nashville, TN, and said it will open stores on the East Coast by 2026. The beloved animal fries creator is taking a strategic, financial, and brand risk that it can maintain its secret sauce while expanding beyond its Western reputation.
