LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Teens from across the country can apply, or be nominated, for the 2026 class of Disney Dreamers Academy.

Graduates have gone on to become doctors, engineers, performing artists, entrepreneurs and more, and some have transitioned into mentors to the Disney Dreamers who followed them.

The 100 students are selected from thousands of applicants who share their personal stories and future aspirations through essay submissions.

These students, along with a parent or guardian, are invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World for an inspiring, multi-day experience that provides them with valuable life tools such as leadership skills, effective communication techniques and networking strategies.

Students participate in interactive workshops in a variety of disciplines aligned with their dreams. These workshops introduce the Disney Dreamers to diverse career paths within business, entertainment and sciences, including career opportunities within The Walt Disney Company.
