2025 Jay’s Juniors
Meet our families of 2025
In 2025, Jay’s Juniors is once again preparing for one of our favorite traditions — bringing a little Disney magic to some very special kids and their families. As we get ready for this year’s trip, we’ll be sharing the stories of our new Juniors right here, adding a new nominee each week leading up to the journey.
Each family has their own story, filled with courage, love, and hope — and we’re honored to welcome them into the Jay’s Juniors family. The anticipation is building, the excitement is growing, and we can’t wait to see the smiles and moments of pure joy that Disney always brings.
None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors, volunteers, and community. Thank you for helping us continue this tradition of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. The best moments are still ahead — and we’re excited to share every bit of it with you.
