Elite Dance Experiences
The Lightning Elite Disneyland performance is for Lightning Elite dancers ONLY. Our dancers perform a 25 minute show that is not produced by an additional tour company or shared with other tour groups or studios. Lightning Elite is proud to provide their dancers with an exclusive performance opportunity.
All deposits are Non-Refundable.
In the event a guest must cancel their trip prior to the registration deadline, not the payment deadline, an exception may be made on a case-by-case basis. Cases are considered dependent on monies paid out by Lightning Elite to secure event space/tickets/pre-paid meals/merchandise purchased on behalf of that guest.
When monies have been paid out on behalf of a guest a deposit refund can not be considered.
Once monies have been paid out on behalf of a guest, a deposit cannot be transferred to a different trip than the one that the deposit was placed for.
If a trip is canceled by the guest after additional monies above the Non-Refundable Deposit have been paid to Lightning Elite ,a partial refund, dependant on monies paid out by Lightning Elite to secure event space/tickets/pre-paid meals/merchandise purchased on behalf of that guest can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Cases are considered based on what monies can be refunded to Lightning Elite, and what monies are not refundable to Lightning Elite.
