LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., March 6, 2009 - In 2009, Disney Parks worldwide are asking our guests, "What will you celebrate?" Many people may wonder; however, what it is Walt Disney World is celebrating this year? We are excited to celebrate young people, as Disney Dreamers and Doers, who are making a difference in our community through their volunteer service.

Information regarding the Disney Dreamers and Doers application process was mailed to all Central Florida schools on March 6, 2009. If you represent a school in Orange, Osceola, Lake, Polk or Seminole County and didn’t receive the information, please contact our Walt Disney Event Services team at (407) 566-1741.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 3, 2009. The application should be completed by a school coordinator – not the nominated student. Once an application is received, the school will receive a confirmation notice and further information regarding the next step of the process.

Each application will be reviewed by a diverse panel of Central Florida leaders and Disney Cast Members who will select three exceptional students per county (Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole) per grade level (elementary, middle and high school). Recipients will be announced in May of 2009.
