well guys, i went to the regular audition on wednesday. it was quite the interesting experience. i got there around 4pm for the 6pm call and was about 15 in line.
they took all current cast members (and i think CP people) in a separate line. i would guess there were at least 50 of them. i heard they have to go through re-evaluations, make sure you still look like you did when hired.
there were several hundred of us in the other line.
the took current CM in first and then took the first group of 70 or so inside the gates to wait. the CMs came out and we went in. we lined up in 10 lines behind numbers, i would say there were about 6-8 people in each line.
we were each behind a number, and Michael and the other 2 assistants (whos names I didn't catch) walked straight down the line, smiling at us and saying "hello- how are you?"
it seems they had a definite need for men. 3 women were kept in my entire group. one short girl, one fairy godmother, one tall girl, and the rest were all men. mad hatter/aladdin types.
the other 60 or so of us got the boot.
so first of all, know that
disneyland seems to have some very specific things in mind, esp if you are trying to get CP in california. i have no idea about florida.
secondly, it was still fun. i've made it through final callbacks for several shows at the park and was told by the CD of the stage shows that i was being kept aside for something else later, i guess when a contract expires. and i'm going in again for the new parade later this month. so i'm hoping to be there by summer anyway.
keep your chins up! as Lost said, sometimes it just something we have no control over!
i have photos. anyone know how to post them?
