Character Heights/CP Auditions

[Princess Ash]

Oof, that was brutal. Finally got my official rejection email today. It was tough to read.

I'm sorrrrry.

Thanks Ashlie. We should practice when we are down there for the summer extension audition

OK so pretend for a second that those of us who still are waiting to hear back are in the pool... back in the old days, how long could a person be in the pool before they were denied and tired to put elsewhere/rejected? Was it ever THIS long?

I'm just wondering if because of the new rule where you can get placed prior to your audition if that means we can be in the pool for an extra long period of time...

I've had dreams I don't find out until I arrive on check in day rofl

They did not send me an email until I emailed hem several times. I was rejected. :-(

Meh. It makes you wish there were some kind of rotten apple test or something. Like, how Disney are you? LOL.

AMEN to that! I know there are people working in Entertainment that don't care as much as those of us here on the Dis do. They really need to at least have a time when you can express WHY you want to do this. So they can sort out some of the people who are just doing it to get out of school, or in my case- it's just another job. Being an Entertainment CM is ALL that I want right now. I just wish I (and others) could get a chance to show them that when I audition.

So sorry - sending some love and pixie dust your way

People can be in the pool up to 6 months. And even then, sometimes are not pulled from the pool (meaning they would have to audition again).

Yep. I wasn't ever in the pool for CP, but for the professional audition I have been in the pool twice and never been called.

But once I were to check in on February 1st, the contract for attractions would begin and the extra pool time I'd have would automatically end right?

Same here
I didn't receive a rejection until I emailed and asked about it
It's almost like they were just waiting and hoping we would forget about it or something

Don't feel too bad if you didn't make it. Right now, Entertainment is pretty much only hiring short people and princesses. From what I understand, quite a few people extended as well, which left less room for newcomers. So if you didn't make it don't take it too personally. I'm sending lots and lots of magic and pixie dust everyone's way!

do you think this will continue to be true for fall?

Honestly, I'm not sure. You never know what they are going to need!

thanks anyway

who knows what's going on in the minds of disney casting? haha. i just have a hunch, based on the spring auditions, that certain heights were extra-competitive this time around (munk, anyone?)... or maybe i just told myself that to feel better. i'll get em eventually!... not gonna give up

 

[houseofmouse89]

I'm gonna agree on Munk range being extra competitive this time around. Although I DID get Munk range (well, technically PFLA, but still Munk range), I've seen VERY few others on here and on FB with this height range. I'm guessing just not as much availability.


Has anyone heard if they took the full 200 or if they took less? Does anyone know the final number for how many Entertainment CP's there are?

 

[twinkletoes919]

I have a question for anyone who might know the answer:
I am a former CP character performer. I was involved in an minor incident and ended up getting terminated (even though I was told it would only be considered an early release). I worked there from January to July. I was told that after six months after the date of termination I could reapply to work. So I plan to reapply for seasonal work in January. Does anyone know if I need to re-audition as well? I am planning to be on vacation at Disney in the beginning of January, and saw that they are holding character auditions then, so I will plan on attending that if need be. Any help would be appreciated!

I read on the FB page that someone called and they were told it stands for "Potential Face Look Alike"

That's what I heard too, on FB and LJ.

right, right - when it was discussed earlier it was decided that it either stood for potential face look-alike or performer- florida. i'm curious to know for sure!
