The Disney Honors is a unique festival that challenges your students to reach new musical heights. A fun, non-competitive experience, this event features performances, clinics, guest speakers and feedback from an outstanding panel of evaluators. The Disney Honors culminates with a semi-formal gala that celebrates the accomplishments of festival participants.

The Disney Honors invites instrumental and vocal ensembles to stretch their musical abilities and experience an educational and immersive experience like no other. With world-class Disney service, excellent performance venues and unparalleled educational offerings, the difference is distinctly Disney.

February 28, 2013 — March 3, 2013

"It was so refreshing to have education and improvement as the total focus of the evaluators as opposed to trying to put a number on a performance." — Darrell Pearman, Band Director at Woodbridge Senior High School

"The Disney Honors has all the ingredients of a special festival. Great attention is given not only to the musical growth of the ensembles, but also the personal growth of the individual musicians. This against the backdrop of Disney World - a unique package." — Dr. Weston Noble, Director of Music Activities at Luther College (Evaluator at The Disney Honors 2005, 2006, 2007)
