Character Performer Auditions

[Ajaz]

Hey everyone, I'm Amy.
(First of all I'd just like to say that I typed this entire post and when I hit submit, it logged me out, so this post may not be as well written as the first.)

I'm a senior in high school, so I won't be joining the program for at least two years, but I've been researching the CP extensively, watching vlogs, reading blogs, etc. I am planning on majoring in education, so character performer doesn't exactly have a ton to do with that, but I've been a dancer for thirteen years, and I love it. I have experience with ballet/pointe, tap, jazz, modern, lyrical, high kick, and (some) hip-hop.

I am 5'10" (practically a giant for a girl, haha), and around 130 pounds, so I know face character is pretty much out, but doing fur would be awesome, too. However, I'd love to do a parade or show, but I'm very aware of how unlikely that is. I'd just kind of like an idea of where I stand...my chances of making it... Since I'm not at the six foot mark, I'm not in the "in demand" range, but I'm close-ish. Ahhh, I just wish I could move to WDW and live there forever.

Sorry this is such a long post.

I'm 5'8, Is this a good height to be at for a girl? and What characters are there for my height? Thanks

Four weeks, Ash lol

I haven't heard either :-/ but I think that people are still being selected honestly. And not everyone has received emails so I'm not completely worried.

Besides, WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY!!! Whether we get Character Performer or not.

**fingers still crossed**

 

[princessbella21]

good luck!

i can't believe i got so lucky in getting character performer and getting the e-mail close to a week ago!!! it still doesn't feel real

tabitha, i need you and rebecca to tell me as soon as you get e-mails

maybe it will be tomorrow?! hope so!

 

[tab1021]

feels like that to me, too.

Hey everyone, I called the recruiting office today. If you want to know your status for sure, call them up and they will tell you. No character for me. But it's OK, I'm still going to Disney!

 

[kateface517]

Just a head's up if you're expecting an answer from the recruiting office if you were at the Atlanta audition...

I just called and was told that they're still making decisions regarding that audition and that I'll receive an email with a decision (either way) by this Friday.

AW! I'm sorry!

Still...just a little more than a month or so til we get there! YAY!

I'm not calling...I don't want to know until they tell me...

 

[rachaelfig]

I'm with you Ashlie - I was going to call, but then I decided I'd just wait for them to tell me. Maybe I'll hear by Friday, maybe I'll just get a pleasant surprise when I get there, maybe I'll just be attractions. No matter what I'm good. Less than 40 days!!!

Oh yay!

 

[kateface517]

Bahaha. I should have just waited an hour. I got my email.
It's a no.
The weirdest part is my lack of being upset. I think that I'm so pumped up for Merchandise (hopefully in my requested location) that I don't even care.

 

[Princess Ash]

I didn't make it.

I don't have a lack of being upset but I did prepare myself.

Considering I just found out like 10 minutes ago, I'm not at the "ONTO ATTRACTIONS!" point yet...but I will say this...

You haven't seen the last of me, Disney Entertainment. I will be trying again in Orlando...and you'd better be ready...because I'm going to shine...

I have no doubt that you will one day not only be in Disney Entertainment but be better at it than everyone else.

Sorry to hear that they just aren't ready for your awesomeness yet.

That put a little smile on my face...thank you so much.

Seconded.

Also I didn't get Entertainment either.. boo. Haha I'm kind of excited though because I was getting pretty comfortable with the idea of Merch

For all of those who didn't make it.. don't let it get you down! Things happen for a reason Don't give up if it's something you really want.. it'll happen.

I got my rejection email today, too. I'm not bummed - I never expected I would make it anyway!

I'm doing the same thing. The person I spoke with on the phone recommended that I try out again when I am down there to extend my program. Hang in there, we may have luck yet! lol Who knows. I'm still waiting on my official rejection email, I'm sure it'll come soon.

I will talk to everyone then!

My daughter had her audition in Austin and was offered a character role. The email didn't tell her the role but when she logged into the site it said Pluto.
