Q: When I was 14, I was a member of a song-and-dance troupe called The East End Kids. We traveled to France and performed at what was then called EuroDisney. This was in 1993. While I was home for the holidays visiting my parents, I found a certificate and a T-shirt I received from Disney with the title of “Journes Musicales Magiques” on it. Does Disney still sponsor these programs that help send teenagers to perform at their parks, both national and internationally, but are not technically employed by the Disney Company? We were an independent organization located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but contracted through Disney to perform abroad. It was an amazing experience for me and I was just curious.

A: These popular programs are still going on—at the U.S. Disney parks, they are known as Magic Music Days.
