Disneyland Face Character Auditions!

[Disneyylovee]

Hello everyone, i'm new here and had a few question about DLR'S face character auditions (since I know they are significally different then WDW)

I'm to young to audition now but I plan to audition when i'm 18.
I'm 5'0 and would love to be Alice, Wendy, or Tink!

So any advice for the future auditions?
And for people who have been to one, do you have pictures? Or, how do they auditions run?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about it personally but there was a thread awhile back with a discussion. Here's the link. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1940228&highlight=auditions

(sorry, don't know how to make a small link).

Hope that helps!

I posted this in the thread referenced above. Here you go:

I have a few friends who have auditioned for face characters.

Audition process:

1st Round
Very early in the morning, several 100s of people generally show up and get in line. Small groups are taken in at a time. They bring the group in the room, line everyone up, look at them, and call out numbers of those they want to stay. The others are done. (So... you could wait 2 hours to get your chance to walk in the room and be done 10 seconds later.)

2nd Round
After everyone has had their 10 seconds in a line up, those that made the 1st cut are taught a small dance routine (to show coordination, movement, etc...). Small groups are brought in. Dance. Numbers called. Stay or go accordingly.

3rd Round
Wigs are brought out and tried on in front of the panel. They could have you try 1 or a few, depending. At this point, they may take a Polaroid pic of you.... or not. Everyone gets their turn at wigs and then numbers are called. Again.

4th Round
Some sort of improvisation. This lets them see how you interact, speak, etc....

The end.

Alice I think is around 5'1' / 5'2"?? Not sure on Tink, but there is a chart somewhere online that has the required heights. I think it was on Disney's job site.

You have to tell us how you go! I would love to be a Disney Princess but I live in Australia, have no coordination and am 5'8

Oh, I have a few years to go until i'm able to audition, but i'm learning about it all!
I'll make sure you to tell how it goes though!
Aw, well you could always try!

I'm 5'9". I heard the cut off height for princesses is 5'7". I noticed villians (well Cruella is the main one I see out) are a tad taller than princesses, even though she wears 3" or 4" heels.
