Hey everyone!!

I am auditioning (not CP... but this thread was EXTREMELY helpful!!) to be a face character for this summer. I'm 5'3", am young (and look younger), have several years of dance experience, etc.

I had just a few of questions after reading this:

1. When you say that they ask you to "meet the characters" in an audition, is that like you are yourself at a park going up to a character or is it like you are another character interacting with another character?? hah. Does this question make sense?!

2. If I'm auditioning for a seasonal position (summer) when should I audition? I know that auditions are good for six months, but if I audition in December would I be able to begin working in June or should I audition in May?!

3. ALICE. Disney told me she was 5'2" - 5'4".... this is true, right? I keep reading she's 5'0"-5'2"!!!

4. Does anyone have any idea about when early 2010 audition dates will be posted on disneyaudition.com?!?!

Thank you guys so much!!

1. You're you meeting that character.
2. When you audition you write down when you'd like your contract to start, and it has to be within the next six months or something? So yeah, you should be okay if you audition in December! (If I'm wrong someone please clarify!)
3. Hmm... I'd probably go with what Disney told you. I think Tink might be 5'0"-5'2" and Alice could probably be taller? Not as sure about this one.
4. Sorry I don't have a clear answer for you, but I'd just keep checking back!

HTH! (BTW, love your "location! )

You gotta love the CUBS.... and Chicago, of course!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that if you want to know your status for sure, call the recruiting office. They will tell you. I did not get a character performer role, but it's OK. We are still going to Disney!!

Hey! I'm a fellow Seasonal auditioner- I've auditioned 3 times and been put in the Character Pool each time so I will try to help with the little bit I have learned...

2. - I really don't know if there is a better time to audition. I have auditioned in April, January, and June for seasonal. April was in Pittsburgh so I'm not going to take that into account. January was much less crowded than June was. If anything I would say go in Dec/Jan just because of the smaller amount of people. I'm hoping to audition again in January, too.

4. Usually the dates for the next month go up after the first audition date has passed for the previous month... but it kind of varies- I guess just keep watching- that's what I'll be doing!

Hope that helps- maybe PM me and we can talk more as the dates get closer!

*EDIT - They posted the first audition date for 2010! January 7th @ 4:00pm!

Just to throw it out there, while heights are important, the Alice thing. Tink and her friends are in that range i believe. Alice. to be friends with Alice it's basically that. however, I know one of her best friends who is 4'11. She is the shortest on the books. and she is positively adorable. Basically, she ate a cookie and Alice tends to shrink and grow. lol. So yea. If anyone sees CDCT, look for my friend Alice!!! I think that alice is just one of the cutest and adorably fun characters we get to meet!!! and she can get away with almost anything.......
Have a Magical Day!!!

just to let everyone know, my bf got his rejection letter notice today. He's real bummed. I tried to tell him before he auditioned that his height range (disney height 5'6") would be competitive. I think he nailed the pantomine out of the water, but did only ok on the dance.

But I digress, rejection emails are being sent now...just a heads up

Sorry to hear that for him.

They seem to have sent out a mass batch of rejection emails yesterday... myself included in that mass.

 

[Dancer:)]

I still haven't heard ANYTHING.

I still haven't heard ANYTHING.

me neither...
I'm tempted to call and ask but I think I'd rather just wait for the rejection email...

When do you or when is best to audition for Summer/Fall?

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

soooo, i found out i didn't pass at the audition and they still sent me an email. thanks, disney. thanks a lot. oh well. i'm not giving up!

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

When do you or when is best to audition for Summer/Fall?

are you speaking of the fall advantage college program or working as a regular CM during those periods? the college program has specific audition dates that will be posted on both disneyauditions.com and this page sometime in February. does that answer your question?

 

[tab1021]

So, despite the fact that I called and they told me that I am no longer being considered for a Character performer role, I have still been looking out in my email for my official reject letter. I checked my email a few minutes ago to find the famous "Disney Look" email lol. They love to torture us!

That kinda answers my question.....My DS is looking to go apply to Career Start for next fall. He will graduate from HS in June. He wants to audition for a character. My understanding is that CS can also audition for character roles. That is correct isn't it?
Assuming that he can audition in Feb is that a good time or is there a later audition time for fall?
thanks
