To all who come to this Magical Club, Welcome!
Club 28 is a magical place at NYFA LA for Disney fans to meet new friends and have fun! We hope to bring the magic of Disney (Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar) to campus through themed activities and events. Most importantly we want to create the same atmosphere for members they would experience in the Disney parks; free to be yourself and act like a kid again.

About Me: Ever since Sarah was little, she loved all things Disney! It was that very love of Disney that led her to start Club 28 at NYFA. Sarah hopes to bring the magic of Disney to the NYFA campus by creating a fun atmosphere for students to participate in themed activities and discussions. Her favorite memories from her childhood are the ones she spent in Disneyland with her friends and family. Her love for Disney has only expanded with the acquisition of Marvel and Lucas Films. She can’t wait until she can return to the parks to trade pins and get in line for Haunted Mansion!

About Me: Ever since he was born, Logan has been watching everything that is Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel. He is a huge Star Wars fan more than anything but grew up loving animated Disney/Pixar films, as well as superheroes. More than anything, Logan cherishes the magic that is brought with all things under the Disney umbrella. And now that Disney has acquired Fox, there is just even more to love! He also grew up going to Disney World multiple times, so all things Disney has just always been a part of his life. What Logan looks forward to most with Club 28 is connecting to more NYFA students, being able to share positivity, and just have fun during these stressful times!

About Me: Briger has always been a huge Star Wars fan, but he loves pretty much every movie made by Disney, too. Well, he figured what better way to express that than building a club around this passion! Personally, Bridger is looking forward to connecting with new people and coordinating fun events for Club 28. Disney means a lot to Bridger, it’s been around throughout his entire life (the good and the bad). So, being able to share this sentimental value with brand new people means the world to him!
