Disney Dreamers Academy Parade today at Magic Kingdom! Today, 100 high school students from across the country, along with actor Tyler James Williams from ABC’s hit show “Abbott Elementary,” participated in a magical parade at Walt Disney World Resort as part of this year’s Disney Dreamers Academy. The Disney Dreamers Academy parade took place right before today’s Festival Fantasy Parade.
The students and Williams, the Golden Globe-winning actor and the event’s official “DREAMbassador,” were the honorary grand marshals in the Magic Kingdom parade that included popular Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Princess Tiana.
The parade kicked off the five-day event, which is a transformational mentoring program at Walt Disney World designed to inspire high school students from varying backgrounds and communities to dream big and pursue their goals. Throughout the event, the students will interact with Williams and other celebrities, business executives, entertainers, educators and others during fun, interactive career workshops and sessions while also spending time making magical memories in the Disney theme parks.
The new class of 100 students are selected from thousands of nationwide applicants for a once-in-a-lifetime mentoring program at Walt Disney World. The program is designed to assist young people in identifying and pursuing their dreams. Along with a parent or guardian, the students receive an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World to participate in the program, which is marking its 18th year.
We had a great time covering the Disney Dreamers Academy kickoff and parade, this event has so much energy and is a wonderful opportunity for the kids who were selected!
