Fan CastingWalt Disney Prep Academy

On June 28th, 1945, Walt Disney opened Walt Disney Prep Academy in the quaint town of Santa Monica, California. It is a prestigious school where high school and college students alike studied everything from the arts, linguistics, math, science, literature, and everything in between. Of course, that’s simply what the flyers and brochures that were handed out said because some of these students possessed unique qualities that turned a few heads and had the city of Santa Monica on edge for a while. Only Walt Disney knew of these special students and did his best to seek them out up until his death. However, he left his successor after him a manual and a team of the best professors that ranged from the fine arts to the dark arts, of how to find these special students and teach them to not only embrace their abilities, but to learn to use them for what he hoped would be for good. These students possessed something Disney called “The Disney Spark” and this spark determined whether or not a student had special abilities from academics, but most importantly: magic. Of course, not everyone who possessed the spark had magical powers and not everyone was aware of their magic either, but the moment they’d walk past the protective magical barrier of WDPA, they’d know.
