I was invited by Walt Disney World Special Events to attend a #DisneySMMC dinner in Philly but all opinions are my own.
It’s always exciting to be invited by the Disney Special Events team, but when that happens in your backyard, it’s definitely a special treat!
So happy to see so many…….
friends….
Disney Dreamers Academy
Finding out all about the Disney Dreamers Academy was such a great experience! You know I often talk about the power of dreams! Well, the Disney Dreamers Academy inspires young adults to dream something new—something big!
Imagine a future that you never dared to imagine before. Set your mind free to create a wild, outrageous, completely new idea. As you visualize your dream, your horizons expand. Learning how to dream is a skill that can help you to plan your future.
My son will be applying soon!

Can’t wait to hear what you think! As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
It sounds like you had a lot of fun, and Disney has a LOT going on. I am so excited to one day get back to Disney, and visit all the new and wonderful places they are adding to the parks.
wow! such a fun and exciting event for Moms! Every Mom would always stay young-at-heart and this event is really something that they will for sure treasure. How I wish to meet Mickey and friends too, hope Disney will soon come to our place.
I loved reading about the Disney Dreamers Academy! I wish this was around when I was younger. I also wish I did the Disney College program. But now that I know these options are out there I will be keeping my eyes and ears open for it so that I can have my children apply to it when they are older if it is still around. I always enjoy watching the Disney Social Media Moms On The Road events. I went to the one in Philly in 2014 and it was so much fun! I met a lot of great bloggers there that I still remain in touch with too!
