Before we go any further, you have to be very careful about posting character heights. We have to maintain character integrity (I will PM you).
Okay, now that that is over with:
As you can see from my sig I have done in 3 CPs. One was in Fantasyland Attractions and the other two were in entertainment. While in entertainment I was trained in Share a Dream Come True Parade, Disney Dreams Come True Parade, Celebrate the Season (Christmas Castle Show), and Spectromagic. I also performed in the Hollywood Stars and Motorcars Parade and the accompanying Happy Hollydays Parade. If you click on the W.I.S.H. banner in my sig you will find a link to my WISH journal which has a picture of me as a Santa Girl for the HollyDays parade.
Joanna pretty much hit hte nail on the head with the audition. I have done two since it was more than since months between my entertainment programs. You can still do face depending on where your tattoo is located.
As for the apartments: They are truly apartments. They have a full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and sink. They are fully stocked with dishes and silverware. You have a living room with couch, chair, and table. You must supply the TV. There are bedrooms off of the living room, and of course bathrooms. They are nothing like a college dorm room. Unless you have a medical single you will room with another person. Each person has a twin bed and night stand. There is one dresser, but there are two sides so that is not a problem. You will share a walk in closet, and there will be a locker for each person i nthe closet to lock up valuables. You supply the padlock.
I have lived in Vista and Chatham. Both have their pros and cons, but I prefer Chatham. Vista did not have a pantry, and it was much older and dirtier. It was also somewhat smaller. For whatever reason, Vista is the
"party place" and that is most definitely not my scene. People will say Chatham is less friendly, but that is not true. It's just much calmer. The apartments are bigger and in general it is nicer. Patterson was not yet built when I was down there.
