Just a few miles from Disneyland, Chapman University and its students have built a connection to Disney that runs deep. Not only do students plan trips to Disneyland during weekdays, after work or on a weekend, but the university embraces the magic of Walt Disney on campus, too.
Located in Orange — and so close to Disneyland that the nightly firework displays are visible from campus — Chapman University plans annual student trips to the park, hosts Disney exhibitions and is the home of first Disney president Jack Lindquist’s memorabilia collection. Some professors incorporate Disney into classes; and now, the university is considering a Walt Disney academic program.
“One reason why I picked Chapman is kind of how close it was to Disney. And because we are so close, there’s so many people that love it and just want to go all the time,” Becca Grae, student and director of communications and marketing at Club 55, told SFGATE. Grae, who has an annual pass, added that she just went to the park “literally this morning.”
