Character Heights/CP Auditions

[r1009t]

Sorry about that guys. Kayla0929- I don't understand how you could pass a regular audition and them not take you for the cp... that just doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm sorry guys. You'll have fun down at WDW regardless.

I'm kind of sad that everyones finding out and i have to wait till they feel like sending out the email or calling.

Tigger height. They also pulled me for face at the audition. I know thats not a guarantee, but it would be cool. And don't worry, I am sure they will let you know within the next couple of days. Sucks that you have to wait, but don't give up!

Maybe you'll be working Crystal Palace when I'm eating there... that would be so great! My boyfriend would be like "...Why are you such good friends with Eeyore?"

I'm so happy for you!!! I know it took forever, but it's great that it worked out!

Sorry to be a bother, but since there's a new page I thought I'd ask again. I'm really interested in the networking opportunities with the entertainment deptartment down there, since this is kind of a life goal of mine, haha.

I'd really like to be able to network/talk to managers, casting directors, etc so they know me and I really have a shot at the extension audition. Especially after getting cut for height in Chicago.

When people refer to networking, it's usually in the context for office or management roles. You cannot really network for the front line work (attractions, merchandise, performer). Disney is mandated by unions, so all of that stuff goes through specific casting procedures.

For most lines of businesses it's based on first come first serve, aka a big wait list. You may be more qualified than another person, but if they visited casting at 8am and you visited at 10am, and you both passed the interview, then the other person will get an offer for you.

For entertainment, everything is based on your audition score. Getting cut for height is unfortunately something that stinks about this line of business, but it's how the whole thing is set up. It's a numbers game; first you have to have the height, then you have to have the right animation score, then you have to have the right dance score, etc.

You can always request to talk with Entertainment Casting when you get here, but I guarantee they'll tell you to attend dance classes to improve your skill and then to just keep auditioning.

They'll make those height cuts for CPs since they are just hiring for temporary positions, but during my last FT audition they did let everyone at least try the first dance portion, so attend one of those towards the end of your program if you are able to secure your own housing.

I wish I had better news for you, but as someone who has been hit several times because of the "union rules" I understand how frustrating it can be to get the job you want because you do not have the time (or height), but everyone is affected by it!
