Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month runs from September 15th to October 15th. This is a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture. At Walt Disney World Resort, this is being celebrated in multiple ways. Walt Disney World shared that Puerto Rican superstar Luis Fonsi stopped by The Most Magical Place on Earth to help kick off this celebration. During this visit, he shared his love of music, family, and his Puerto Rican roots.
