What types of bids will be offered for The Quest Bids? Teams will have the opportunity to earn both Paid & At-Large bids to The Quest Recreational Championship.
What is an At-Large Bid? An At-Large bid is an invitation to compete at this prestigious event. The costs associated with the event will be the responsibility of the team to pay.
What is a Paid Bid? A Paid Bid is an invitation to compete at this prestigious event with the registration costs & accommodations covered by Varsity Spirit. Each athlete earning a PAID Bid to The Quest will receive a 4 Night Quad Package price as a credit. No credits may be used for family members or for additional tickets. If a team chooses the 3 Night Quad Package, the athlete will receive a 3 Night Quad Package credit. If a PAID Bid team chooses not to stay on property, they will receive the Commuter Package for free.
If an athlete from our bid winning team can’t make it to The Quest, are we allowed to replace them with another athlete? You can replace athletes on your roster and add additional athletes, as long as it does not change the division you qualified with. If you receive a PAID Bid, you will only receive the credit of a PAID Bid for the number of athletes that competed on the floor at the qualifying event. The cost associated with the Quest will be the responsibility of the team to pay for any athletes who are added to the Paid Bid roster.
Are Crossovers allowed at The Quest? Athletes will not be allowed to compete on more than 2 cheer teams at The Quest Recreational Championship. Athletes competing at The Quest are not eligible to compete at The Summit Championships.
Participants may only represent one organization. Participants must pay an additional registration fee for each additional team performance. However, if there is an athlete that is on a Paid bid team and crossing over to another Paid Bid team there will be no crossover fee applied. Only if an athlete is on a Paid Bid team as well as an At-Large bid team will that athlete will be required to pay the crossover fee.
Upgrading Bids: Once your team accepts an At-Large bid for The Quest, that At-Large bid can be upgraded to a Paid bid.
*Event Producers have the right to investigate all teams receiving a bid to The Quest. Bid eligible teams and divisions will be reviewed for accuracy and legitimacy to ensure each team has the same opportunity.

HOTEL AND TRAVEL
What is the advantage of purchasing the travel package? It is not required that you attend The Quest on the travel package. The two main reasons teams purchase the package are convenience and savings.
In which hotel will we be staying? Accommodations will be provided at Disney’s All Star Resorts. In the event that the Walt Disney World® Resorts sell out of rooms, The Quest will try to make arrangements with an alternate hotel off property. PLEASE NOTE: Hotels may fill up prior to posted deadlines.
We have parents who would like to come to the Championship. Can they sign up for The Quest travel package? Of course! A lot of coaches meet with the parents and include them on the travel package with their team. However, we encourage family members and friends to register with us directly.
We have an uneven number of girls. Can we pay the quad rate for three girls in a room? No. The travel package prices have been calculated according to how many people are in each room.
Can we have five people in a room? No. The Disney’s All Star Resorts do not allow more than four people to a room.
We are arriving in Lake Buena Vista at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, will our hotel rooms be ready? Most hotels do not guarantee check in until 4:00 p.m. However, if there are rooms ready in your block, the hotel will check you in early. Please be sure to communicate this to your entire group that is traveling with you.
Our team doesn’t leave Lake Buena Vista until 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. What can we do all day? Hotel check out is at 11:00 a.m. If you would like, you can take a Walt Disney World® Resort shuttle bus to Disney Springs to shop. The hotel will be glad to store these items for you, but you will be responsible for picking them up before you depart.
How do I request a refund? Refunds will be issued after the event is over and must be requested in writing no later than 30 days after the event is over. Refund requests may be emailed to your registration specialist. The average processing time for a refund is 4 weeks from the date the request is received. Refunds are not issued unless a written request is received.
If we staff off the travel package and commute can we use The Quest bus transportation? No. Transportation is only provided for those purchasing the travel package.
TICKETS AND COMPETITION
When will we receive our Walt Disney World® Resort Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option for the Championship? You receive your tickets when you register with The Quest at Celebrity Hall.
Do we use our Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® for competition? In addition to Park admission each Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option purchased through The Quest, also has admission into ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. This is NOT considered a theme park admission, and therefore does not use a day on your Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option.
What does “Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option” mean? A Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option enables you to visit more than one park a day.
Will attending The Quest parties take days off of my Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option? For the Special Extended Hours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, a day of admission will be taken off your Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option pass regardless of what time you arrive. For the Championship Celebration Party Sunday evening at Magic Kingdom® Park, a day will not be taken off of your Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option. Please Note: YOU MUST HAVE A WRISTBAND TO ATTEND ALL PARTIES.
If we do not use all three or two days of our Walt Disney World ® tickets, may we use them next year? No. All of the discounted tickets sold at The Quest have an expiration date that is listed on the back of your ticket.
Do spectators have to purchase a Walt Disney World® Resort Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option in order to watch competition at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex? No! If you are only going to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, you may purchase a ticket at the door for $40 per day per person. However, if you purchase a Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option from The Quest, it includes admission into the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex as well as all four Walt Disney World® Theme Parks.
Are there discounted park tickets available for family and friends not on the travel package? Yes, there are three different tickets.
Walt Disney World® Resort Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option are valid for unlimited admission into the Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park as well as three days of admission into the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. These tickets DO NOT include The Quest bus transportation to the parks.
How do I find out when and where my team competes? A detailed order of competition will be posted at varsity.com/thequest in early March. The detailed order of competition will tell you the location and exact times that your team will report backstage, take pictures, warm up, and compete.
How can parents pick up tickets is athletes are registered under coach name (on 1 invoice)? Parents must register their athlete themselves if they would like to pick up their athlete’s tickets.
