Disney’s Hollywood Studios just witnessed a sprinkle of star-studded magic as Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato decided to take on the iconic Tower of Terror! This charming couple, known for their dazzling presence in the music and film industry, brought their own brand of excitement to the already thrilling atmosphere of Disney.
Disney released a YouTube video that highlights the stars visit to the legendary Hollywood Tower Hotel. Michael Bublé comments ‘I love this ride’ as he boards, indicating this is not the first time he has ventured beyond the 5th dimension.
As they approached the ‘service elevator’ to board the ride, Michael and Luisana were all smiles, clearly up for the adventure. The Tower of Terror, known for its heart-dropping surprises and eerie ambiance, was the perfect backdrop for this fun-loving duo.
It’s moments like these that remind us that Disney’s magic attracts everyone, from young families to big stars. And it’s always a treat to see celebrities like Michael and Luisana enjoying the parks, just like the rest of us.

The students for the 2024 Disney Dreamers Academy at Walt Disney World Resort have been revealed! They want to build rocket ships that soar through the galaxy; teach people nationwide how to make better nutritional choices; and spread even more magic at The Most Magical Place on Earth.

The selected students were featured during a live TV segment on ABC’s “Good Morning America.’’ The segment highlighted one of the selected students,16-year-old Sophia of South Orange, New Jersey, who is involved with her local YMCA, Girls Scouts, orchestra, lacrosse and the math team, and aspires to become an aerospace engineer.
At the four-day program at Walt Disney World, Sophia and the other Disney Dreamers will engage with business leaders, Disney executives, celebrities and educators, who will immerse them in workshops and seminars designed to supercharge their career dreams. The students will also explore a wide range of career disciplines while also learning essential skills, such as effective communication techniques, leadership and networking strategies.
And, of course, they will spend plenty of time experiencing the magic of Walt Disney World.
“We eagerly anticipate the arrival of another exceptional group of high schoolers from all corners of the country for our 17th year!” remarked Tracey Powell, Senior Vice President of Consumer Insight, Measurement & Analytics and Executive Champion of Disney Dreamers Academy. “These future leaders are poised to embark on a transformative journey, gaining an experience of a lifetime that will propel them towards achieving their dreams.”

The students and a parent or guardian enjoy an all-expenses paid trip to Walt Disney World. The program is an important part of Disney’s commitment to support diverse communities by encouraging the next generation to think and dream big.

In the years following, graduates have become storytellers, artists, engineers, innovators, journalists and more, and have transitioned into mentors to the Disney Dreamers who follow them.
