So currently I'm a CP in Character Attendant. I am going to extend only if I get performer. That is a huge long shot. However, I am wondering if anyone is going. I know Joanna said the auditions were Nov. 12 (there are 2 but the only one before the extension date is that one). Is anyone else possibly going to this one? Just didn't know if anyone was preparing for it or going or such.......thought I'd bring it up. Do they do puppetry auditions in Orlando? and do they tell you yes or no right there or do you wait? Thanks!!
Have a Magical Day!!!

Auditioning on Thursday, quick question... do I need to bring any paperwork to the audition? I wasn't sure how they "check me in" and wondered if I needed to bring anything since I've already been accepted for attractions...

[Princess Ash]

I am going as well! i dont know if they do puppetry auditions, and if i am off the 12th, im going then, if not im going to the 19th(I already have that off)

They just had a fairy audition today! Any audition you go to, they'll always be keeping their eyes out for possible fairies.

They do have puppetry auditions at the regular orlando auditions, but I'm not sure about the CP one. I do not know of any CPs that do puppetry, I believe most are FT/PT. But there's always a chance! You can attend the puppetry workshop as a CP, I did that!

Nope, no paperwork. They will have it there for you.

 

[Goofster18]

Well, I'm not sure if it's an actual CP audition only or just a full open call. I'm signed up for the puppet workshop though!! And puppetry down here is just a dream for me. so yea, this should be fun and a good experience either way. Just requested the day off!!

Does anyone happen to know the approximate heights of the characters from Up?

 

[Goofster18]

Not sure but I think Dug is about the same height as the chipmunks.

Thanks!

Hey eveyone so being an entertainment cast member has been my biggest dream ever so naturally when i go to the parks i tend to compare my height to different characters. i have always heard that Disney is very specific on characters being a specific height but ive noticed huge difference in height of the same character before. Im 5 "3' and when i met belle in her blue dress she was my height exactly then later i met her in yellow and she was alot taller than me. In the picture i have my head meets her shoulder exactly. So i was just wondering if someone could explain this to me. if they like you enough for a specific face character does height matter as much?

so...a little off topic...But if I am already a character performer, and on my extension application I put my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice as current role.....do I have to reaudition at the extension audition or is that only for people who arent currently in entertainment? Thanks!

You do not have to attend the audition if you are currently a performer. Are you sure you can list the same role for all three choices? Maybe just list it as your first choice and leave the other two blank?

hey!
I was just wondering how you found out costuming and cosmetology would be at the audition in Chicago? I know generally in the past they have come to that audition as well as a few of the other larger ones. This year however, I was told by by casting that none of the cp audition locations would be pulling for face there. I wonder if I was told wrong?! Regardless, break a leg!

Does 'disney height' only work for fur characters or does it apply to face characters too? I hate to be like so many other girls but I really want to be a princess, however- I'm 5.8".25 exactly (I got meseaured by the doctor) I've read that the cutoff height for princesses is 5'7, so am I out of the running for that? If so, what other female face characters are in my height range?
Feel free to PM me!

I'm sure someone else will give better advice but from personal experience at auditions it seems that generally they measure shorter than your actual height. For me, it was about .5 an inch shorter, but my friend was a full inch shorter, and I've even heard cases where it was up to two inches. I think their measurements are dependent on what they need at the moment, though I could be wrong. Definitely try for it no matter what because you NEVER know what will happen, they seem to be somewhat lenient with height for a few inches if they need someone matching your features
