Reflecting On Aapi Heritage Month Celebration
Last month, the channel marked Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with an ✨ Extra Magic Hour ✨, hosted by AJ and Alyssa Rafael. The duo spotlighted music from films like Lilo & Stitch, Moana, Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon. “Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month on Disney Hits! Join us for a special ✨ Extra Magic Hour ✨, hosted by AJ and Alyssa Rafael, featuring music from some of your favorite Disney films,” the channel’s May Instagram post read.
By featuring Carrere—herself of Filipino and Hawaiian descent—the station continues its commitment to celebrate diverse voices and stories from Disney’s animated universe.
Carrere rose to fame in the early ’90s with roles in Wayne’s World and True Lies before lending her voice to Nani in 2002. In the decades since, she’s balanced acting, music and even competitive poker, while maintaining close ties to the Disney community.
Whether you’re cruising the shorelines of Kauai in your mind or simply nostalgic for a certain Hawaiian hero’s ride, Carrere’s handpicked soundtrack promises to transport listeners into the heart of Disney animation’s musical legacy.
Expect lively anecdotes, surprise guest messages and a few sing-alongs when Carrere turns the tables on the DJ booth—proving there’s always room for one more in this ohana.
Tune in at 5 p.m. ET today or catch a replay later this week—either way, you’re in for an island getaway through song.
