I'll be auditioning for Character LookAlike in 5 weeks...I've never done anything like this before! What can I expect, what should I do to prepare, etc? So excited/nervous!

This topic isn't really suitable for the Theme Parks boards. I've moved it to the Disney Cast Members board.

Read through the Frump works Disney trip report. She did one, and explained what happened during her audition.

So what Character?
I would guess knowing the history for the Character. Sounds like the Character. Know about all its friends and counterparts.
The smile and laugh walking and talking the part.
WOW that would be exciting!
I wish you luck!

Actually none of that will help. They will put you in a room with about sixty other people,, they'll stare at you about ten at a time and then they'll either keep you or let you go. The look alike auditions are very different from the general ones.

I completely agree. I've been to several different types of auditions and the look a like was the most brutal. I specifically went to Princess look a like auditions and they had us line up in 10 lines and they would walk down the rows and each person would smile and say their name. After every 10 they would maybe keep a couple numbers and everyone else would be release and then they would go to the next 10. I don't know what they did after that because I was released. (I expected this because I know I need to straighten some teeth out before i can get cast in a face character.) But I've heard several different versions of what happens next.
