Univision Network’s hit morning show “Despierta América” threw itself a Disney-themed party today when it turned 18. Highlights of the anniversary show, which airs daily at 7:00 a.m. ET/PT (6:00 a.m. Central), included William Valdés spending a day as a Walt Disney World cast member before setting the audience on fire with his debut as a soloist with the song “Más.”

Meanwhile, Noel Torres, Regional Mexican singer of “Me Interesas,” teamed up with Mariachi Divas and the show correspondent Luis Sandoval to do a little bit of everything at Disneyland to be part of their new parade.
 
In Orlando, Regional Mexican artist Roberto Tapia sang his recent single “Dónde Estarás,” and reggaeton sensation Tony Dize wowed the audience with “Ruleta Rusa.”
 
“Despierta América” news reporter Satcha Pretto’s 9-month-old son, baby Bruce, was another first-time visitor to the Magic Kingdom, where he had an unforgettable meeting with a certain well-known mouse.
 
To top off the morning’s festivities, “Despierta América” co-hosts Alan Tacher, Alejandro Chabán, Johnny Lozada, Karla Martínez, Ximena Córdoba, and reporter Maity Interiano made the dream of 18 young fans a reality by granting their wish of being princesses for the day.
