Hey! It's a process, so I would definitely recommend looking into a working visa/green card beforehand. The best people to help with this is your local office, and embassy if I remember correctly. Get everything situated in time for Disneyland Paris, as it's a start.Hello RodgerRadcliffe,
Thank you for replying, with the working visa would it be any easier if I audition for Disneyland Paris in the summer then ask to be sponsored for a working visa to be able to move to either Disney world or Disneyland California ? And on the Disney audition website it says that the requirements are that you have to be authorized to work in the United States. Does that mean you need a visa before you audition?
Thanks again
Why hello there, and thanks for dropping down the Rabbit Hole.Hello everyone!
I'm new here!
I was wondering if you could give me some advice!
I was thinking of heading over to London in March for the Disneyland Paris Look-Alike auditions, I was hoping Alice or Wendy would be on the list, but sadly they weren't. I've never been to a DL audition.
I'm 19, I think i'm 5'4/5, with pale skin and blue eyes. I'm living in South Ireland, so it would be a pricey trip over to London!
I'm not sure if i match the profile of Cinderella, Ariel, Belle or Snow White, I think I look too young.
I just uploaded a picture of me on my Twitter @AoifeSaysHello - it's not a very disney-like photo of me, but just a general feel of how young i actually look, haha. If you could take a look and give me your honest opinion of whether i'm going to waste my time travelling over or not, i'd be so grateful.
I do a lot of acting, I have loads of dance experience, and I interact well with others.
I think my small face is the only thing getting in the way!
Thanks guys!
Feel free to follow me on twitter, I follow back!
Thanks again,
Pumpkin Alice! x
Hello! Congrats on continuing to stay motivated, and not giving up! It really is an excellent experience, which not many people see from auditions.Hi there!
I'll be going to a character performer audition this weekend, which will be my 3rd try at it in the last year. Even though I didn't make the cut in the previous ones, I'm still glad to have attended - it was a great experience! I know that we'll never know what the casting directors have in mind as far as needs go, but I know that being an average 5'5" and going for full time (rather than college program) probably limits me to some extent. I felt that I have auditioned well in the past, but it was still a bit disappointing to leave after a cut.
I'm looking forward to the audition, and will give it my best, but was wondering if there's anyone out there who has had a similar experience and has any words of advice? I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
but I know that being an average 5'5" and going for full time (rather than college program) probably limits me to some extent.
What is your background/experience in dancing, acting, a theatre? If you can do well in the auditions with these parts, I'm sure you'll have a much better chance.
I'm not sure how seasonal works and if I couldn't make the time requirements than I'd hate to have gone and auditioned and wasted the interviewer's time. Any thoughts?
Sorry!!! I know your pain... I'm 5'7, so I at least have 2 more options... I was able to get in on the CP - but couldn't make the transition to FT. After 2 attempts I came to terms with my height, went into Merch, and am now a Manager back in Entertainment. I would have given anything to be 5'8 then, but am very happy with the path I'm on now.
Oh and can I just say Berlioz, I followed your blog in 2009 and you are my hero.
She is devastated about not being able to audition for a mover role, and is trying to decide whether or not to continue considering the college program. I am majorly annoyed at spending beaucoup bucks to go to the audition... why don't they list height selections in the audition announcements?
Not to jump on the I <3 Berlioz70 topic, but I had your Google Site on my favorites freshman year of high school. I remember when you had the rumors page and would talk about the "Tear Drop" in Magic Kingdom. I was a little high schooler in New Jersey and I think I lived vicariously through your site. We only went to Disney once/twice a year when I was that age. I think I wanted to be you when I grew up- still probably do!
