High school students with big dreams and unstoppable drive have until October 31 to apply for the 2026 Disney Dreamers Academy, a life-changing mentorship program held at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. This transformative, multi-day experience offers students the chance to explore their passions and gain inspiration for their future careers.

The program is open to U.S. high school students ages 13 to 19, who will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World—along with one parent or guardian. A panel of distinguished leaders will review all applications, and 100 participants will be selected and announced in early 2026.

Now entering its 19th year, Disney Dreamers Academy continues to empower students from diverse backgrounds through days filled with inspiration, discovery, and personal growth. Participants engage in hands-on learning, career exploration, and leadership development, discovering how to dream bigger and achieve more. Students are introduced to career fields ranging from STEM and business to entertainment and the arts, while learning directly from educators, executives, celebrities, and Disney cast members who offer real-world insight and mentorship.

Throughout the program, Dreamers develop essential life skills—leadership, communication, and networking—to help turn their aspirations into action.

Those interested can apply or nominate a student at www.DisneyDreamersAcademy.com.

The Disney Dreamers Academy reflects Walt Disney World’s commitment to uplifting diverse communities, inspiring young people to dream boldly, pursue their passions, and make a meaningful impact on the world around them.
