Character Heights/CP Auditions

[PixieDust3490]

I didn't go with a head shot and they still took me. They take your picture any way. I really don't think it is worth it to pay for one or anything. If you want to show them you have experience with Disney already I would give them a little resume. It can't hurt you know? Best of luck

Does anyone know what the height requirements are for the dancers (non-equity) in the parades/shows? For example, the High School Musical performers, Festival of the Lion King, Spectro butterflies/dragonflies, animators in the Magic Kingdom day parade, etc?

I know they take Mouse height for the Pixar Block Party Bash.

Does anyone know about the MainStreet U.S.A Trolly Dancers?

They probably vary. But from what I've seen, they all seem to be around Munk/Pluto height or so.

I don't know. But it might not matter. Some things are height specific, and you can only preference certain things.

I am so happy that I found this thread! i have wanted to audition for over a year now and just haven't found the guts...my mom would probably be really mad if i left school to go and do the college program...but I would really love to be a character...i do have a question though...in order to be a face character...how perfect do your facial features, etc. have to be? the reason i ask is because i have a few freckles, nothing too excessive but still visible...does that matter? every princess or other face character i have ever seen always seems to have perfect skin...

I'm not 100% sure but I know they look at your facial structure and such. I was talking to a guy I met randomly (in an Olive Garden...at home...LOL so weird) who worked in cosmetology and he was telling me that, among other things (very interesting). He looked at me and said if I fit what they were looking for I could be Jasmine, but I think I'm a little too tall and such, but it was nice to know what kind of princess I could have had a chance with.
But I didn't pass my audition and I'm 5'6". I'm still sad about it lol.

Someone else should be able to answer your question specifically.

I think Joanna has already answered this for me but I am not completely sure. I had a physical this past week and I measured in at 5'4.5... is that a common height at all ?? just wondering.

Yes. That is a common height.

hey guys I just found out that I will be "friends" with Pooh. Since I was chosen to be Pooh, would there be a chance I could still be cast as a face when I get get there?

Yes, everyone who is face also does fur, so you could possibly still be pulled for face when you arrive in Florida.

That's right! And that's a fun height range.

does anyone know how tall the princesses have to be? I'm 5'2'' almost 5'3''

Princesses usually start around 5'4 or so, but there can be exceptions.

You're more in the "child range" It goes like this (generally), shorter face 5'1-5'4 are Alice, Wendy, and fairies (Tink, Rosetta, Fawn, Silvermist, Iridessa). Princess/Step sisters are mid-range 5'4-5'7. Villains/Megara are tall 5'7-6'1.
