I had my interview with Disney on Thursday, it went splendidly! After some information was given the interviewer asked roles I was most interested in persuing. I mentioned operations, marchandise and hospitality quickly but then confessed I would most like to be a character. From there the interview became more specialized

I don't know if it's true, but Will told me that the characters at Disney are all over 5' 10" [I was pissed cuz I'm 5' 8" & would kill to be a character] so that they appear 'larger then life'.. the only exception is Ariel.

Who would you want to be? I think being a character would be such an awesome job.

On the Disney web site, it says "Height ranges are between 4'8" and 6'3" with added consideration to candidates between 4'8" - 5'0"..... so I think the characters all have unique heights! Like, Goofy is super tall, but Minnie (and the seven dwarves...haha) is around my height of 5'0.

I only know this because I am 5'0 and I really want to be a character!!! :)

Oh, I wasn't specific enough. I meant characters as in like.. Cinderella & Snow White.. not actual character costumes like Goofy & Mickey Mouse & such. I wouldn't want to be in a character costume but I'd LOVE to be a princess.

Ohhhhh... yes, well that makes sense then.... I think the only shorter girl characters are ones like Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Eek, we pretty much have the same role choices! I picked character performer, operations, and merchandise.... eeeee. I am doing the April 1 audition in Chicago... but it would be more fun to do it in Orlando, amongst the real characters!

Yeah I'm doing an April 8 audition in Olrando! I'm excited, and very glad that I started taking dance classes again!
