We’re beginning to see things at Disney World get back to “normal” this summer.

Dreams can come true…
Entertainment has returned, fireworks are back, restaurants are reopening (as are hotels), and the Disney College Program has come back after being suspended last year due to the global health crisis. And now one more program is set to come back as of next year!
The Disney Dreamers Academy was cut short last year, but it’s coming back in 2022 and applications are open now! The mentorship program is looking for 100 high school students from all over the U.S. to receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World, where they will get to participate in leadership courses and programs.

The program, which will return March 3rd-6th, 2022, will also include opportunities for participants to interact with everyone from “community and industry leaders, Disney Cast Members, and celebrity guests.”

High schoolers from ages 13 to 19 can now apply for the 2022 class of Disney Dreamers Academy through October 31st by visiting DisneyDreamersAcademy.com.
And if we see any other Disney programs accepting applications, we’ll let you know!
