In 2023, The Walt Disney Company will mark its 100th anniversary. As part of the celebration, Disney Imagination Campus plans to recognize 100 exceptional teachers who reflect the creativity and imagination of Walt Disney to attend a one-of-a-kind teacher event.

We encourage elementary, middle and high school teachers across the country to enter our contest by submitting an inspiring essay for a chance to win a trip to Disneyland Resort in California to take place during Teachers Appreciation Week in May 2023!

The 100 winners will be treated to a four-day, three-night stay at the Disneyland Resort to experience the Disney100 celebration as well as an inside look into Disney Imagination Campus workshops and offerings.

This exciting weekend is full of once-in-a-lifetime moments that will inspire teachers’ creativity while celebrating their amazing accomplishments. Winners will be honored with an inspiring keynote speech and will get to experience the reimagined Disney Imagination Campus workshops reflecting curriculum in Science & Technology, Arts & Humanities, Leadership & Innovation and Performing Arts. And, of course, they will experience all the magic of the Disney100 celebration at the Disneyland Resort through surprise special moments and amazing new experiences! 

In addition, we’re also hosting a sweepstakes where 100 teachers will win a $100 Disney Gift card.

Now through February 11, 2023, teachers can enter for a chance to join us! Follow these three simple steps to enter:

Essay question: Describe an example where you brought wonder, creativity and imagination to life in your curriculum that inspired students in new ways.

  • Congratulations to everyone, what an amazing opportunity!! I’m wondering if they are still sending emails! I wrote my heart out in the essay! The only mistake I made was quoting Walt! It says no quoting in the rules!

  • Yes! Did everyone who was selected get their emails on 3/29? #8 in the official rules explains “Potential winners” and that the verification process. I am assuming once you’re verify you become the official winner?

    This morning I mailed a self-addressed, stamped envelope to their PO box to get the winner list. Once I get the list, I am happy to email it to whoever wants it. Comment your email and I will send to you:)

    I didn’t get an email. I am really sad, but I am sure they received a lot of amazing entries.

  • Can someone post the list of the teachers that won?
    Thank you

  • I got the “potential winner” email as well, and am still confused what that means. It was weirdly worded because it implied that I was accepted, but then it said “potential.” Filled out the paperwork and just waiting. I’m crossing my fingers that I’m really in! Those of you who were selected, did yours say the same thing?

    • Hi Tony – As long as you submitted the proper details, you should be set. Per the contest rules, all winners are considered potential winners until they have finished all verification and steps in the contest process.

  • Thats a bummer. Congrats to the winners though! When did everyone get their winner e-mails?

  • Was it emailed and appeared in your spam? I’m gearing I might’ve accidentally deleted the yay or nay if it went to spam.

  • I have not received an email yet! Anyone else??

  • I got an email that I was selected as a “potential winner” 🙂 Filled out the paperwork so now I wait and see I guess!

    • Congrats Liz!

  • Well, CONGRATS to the ones who got selected!! Bummer for me tho:( I’m going to assume they probably sent emails to all the winners at the same time. Oh well. If anyone hears anything after today, please comment:)

  • I got an email saying I was selected too! Did the paperwork and waiting to hear the next step!

  • Fingers crossed!

  • I got selected!

  • I got an email saying I was selected!!! Anyone else? I’m now wondering if it it legit since no one else has posted…fingers crossed and good luck everyone!!

    • Hi April – We can confirm that the fulfillment vendor is contacting potential winners this week. Per the contest rules, all winners are considered potential winners until they have finished all verification and steps in the contest process.

  • Does anyone know if we will be notified regardless of earning top 100 or not?

  • Does anyone know if we will get an email either way if we were top 100 or not?

  • @elisabeth I’m wondering that as well! I’m guessing a lot since it’s a national contest?

    In the rules it states: To obtain a list of the names of the winners, mail a self-addressed, stamped business-sized envelope to: The Disney Imagination Campus Teachers Celebration – Winners List Request, PO Box 251328 West Bloomfield, MI 48325. Winners List requests must be received by April 3, 2023.

  • Is there anyway to find out how many educators entered the contest?
    Hope they make an announcement so we can celebrate the winners!

  • Hi there!
    Wishing everyone lots of luck!
    Has anyone heard anything from an administrator or from Disney?

  • Let us know if someone gets accepted. Should hear something this week only if accepted.

  • Has anyone heard yet? It’s the last week before emails could come out…

  • For all of those asking, the official contest rules state that the judging period is over on March 24th,2023. I would imagine that they will announce winners by the end of March. Good luck everyone!

  • Has anyone been notified yet?

  • Has anyone heard anything yet?

  • Winners will be e-mailed by 03/31/2023. It was in the fine rules link.

  • Does anyone know when winners will be announced?

  • When will winners be announced?

  • Does anyone know when they post the winners? Good Luck to everyone! 🙂

  • I am not sure if my essay was entered. I’ve tried to submit but haven’t received a confirmation. How can I find out if it was successfully entered.

  • Do we get confirmation when our essay is submitted? I submitted on Thursday 2/9 but haven’t received any confirmation.

  • When does this contest close?

  • It is not working?

  • It says it is closed on 02/03/2023? Anyone able to submit it now?

  • I am not able to submit my essay. It says it is closed on 02/03/2023? Anyone able to submit it now?

  • Same issue here! Removing the spaces….but hoping it still reads like I intend it! Good luck to everyone! Exciting opportunity!

  • I entered the Chance to Attend Disney Imagination Campus 100 Teachers Celebration at Disneyland Resort. Do we receive an email confirmation or something to let us know it went through after submissions? Thanks!!!! So excited.

  • I’m glad I looked here as I also couldn’t submit my paragraph without taking out the spaces! I hope the readers get the memo that the software for submitting is weird 😊

  • So excited! Good luck to all the amazing teachers out there! So awesome Disney is blessing 100 special teachers!

  • Done and done! Disney has meant so much to me growing up and is partly why I became a teacher. Every child needs a real-life Disney princess in their life and that’s me! I wish everyone luck because every teacher deserves this opportunity. Disney is going to have their hands full trying to determine which amazing teachers will win!

  • Amazing opportunity. Would love to win. Good luck everyone.

  • Am I supposed to get a confirmation email after I submit my essay? I submitted it, but didn’t receive anythig afterwards. I just want to make sure it was submitted!

  • THANK YOU! I was having the same issue! I too just removed all paragraphs, and submitted “1 big paragraph” and it worked! Much appreciated. This is better than a help desk 🙂 I love other teachers!!!

  • Good luck everyone! This is going to be so much for everyone who wins! I hope to be a part of it!

  • Just writing this has been a truly reflective and therapeutic process! Thank you, Disney! 🙂

  • I already submit my sassy for Disney imagination Campus Teacher 100 💯 Celebration 🍾 🎈🎊🎉🎁 contest
    Hope they like 👍 it l never won a contest

  • Hi Everyone! I was receiving the same error, “title length is invalid” and I was able to submit by eliminating all spaces and new lines for new paragraphs. You have to submit it as one big paragraph. Hope this helps! 🙂

  • Applied! Fingers crossed!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

  • Good evening, I am attempting to submit my essay but it continues to state “title length is invalid.” I have elminated all the spaces between paragraphs as the commenter above stated, but it still does not go through. I can submit it with a link to the google doc for the essay. Can you confirm that this is ok or do you have a better suggestion?

  • I was able to submit it by eliminating the spaces between paragraphs.

  • I am having the same problem. “Title length is invalid.” I have 2488 characters.

  • Every time I try to submit the essay it comes back saying “title length is invalid.” I know I have characters to spare and I’m within the allowed 2500 characters, what am I doing wrong?
