Educational Destinations Partners with Always in the Club Foundation
Educational Destinations is thrilled to partner with the Always in the Club Foundation, offering students an unforgettable opportunity to experience the magic of Disney Imagination Campus with former members of the iconic Mickey Mouse Club. This unique, hands-on educational journey recently took its class of 2024 on a two-day adventure to Walt Disney World, where they engaged in a series of dynamic workshops, met industry professionals and enjoyed the parks.
Students participated in a variety of interactive Imagination Campus Workshops, ranging from leadership training to musical theatre, designed to foster creativity, teamwork and personal growth. One highlight of the weekend was the “Leadership the Disney Way” workshop, which focused on cultivating leadership skills through the lens of Disney’s values and operational excellence. The event culminated with the Disney Broadway Magic “Frozen” workshop, where students delivered a breathtaking performance showcasing sharpened skills and confidence.
Beyond the workshops, students enjoyed a special “Lunch & Learn” event at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Here, they had the chance to interact with former Mickey Mouse Club members — mentors who grew up at Walt Disney World during the taping of the ‘All New’ Mickey Mouse Club — and learn about their experiences in the entertainment industry. This unique opportunity allowed students to hear first-hand stories about the power of imagination, mentorship and the impact of arts education.
A standout moment of the weekend was meeting the Imagineer who led the team behind the thrilling Guardians of the Galaxy ride, offering students a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of innovation and creative storytelling that defines Disney.
This partnership with the Always in the Club Foundation is part of a larger initiative co-founded by reunited Mouseketeers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting youth in arts, education and mentorship. They aim to introduce 1,000 young creatives to imagination-powered learning, providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
For the students, this weekend was not just about learning; it was about sparking curiosity, discovering new passions and gaining insight into the power of creativity. With Mouseketeer mentors guiding the way, these young participants left Walt Disney World inspired and ready to take on new challenges, all while having a magical time in one of the most iconic settings in the world.
The future is bright for these students! Educational Destinations is proud to be a part of their journey, helping them unlock the potential of imagination and creativity through the Disney Imagination Campus.
