Disney Dreamers Academy (DDA)

For over 15 years, Disney has sponsored a phenomenal leadership and mentorship experience for Black and underserved high school students in the United States called Disney Dreamers Academy. I've had the honor to participate as a parent chaperone to a Dreamer and as media to cover the event. DDA holds a special place in my heart and I felt it was right to give it a permanent place on my site for future applicants, parents, and those who are curious about the magic to easily find! DDA applications typically open by the end of spring/early summer and close in the fall (end of October).
