The October 31, 2019 deadline for Disney Dreamers Academy (DDA) is fast approaching. Don't miss out on an amazing opportunity for any high school student in your life ages 13-19 to experience the magic of Disney.
Two years ago, representatives from Disney Dreamers Academy came to the Philadelphia area to discuss the program. In attendance was a previous student who was attending college in the area. I was so impressed by his experience and the sparkle in his eye, that there was no doubt that he would take his dream far. We also learned about alumni William Williams whose story left not one dry eye in the place.
