Disney University is no-longer part of Parade and Character Cast Member training - since 2008!!

As for contract extentions  -  Work well, don't be late, be the right height - and you may be asked to stay!  However, due to the way the company works - you maybe the best cast member ever and you still won't get an extention, all depends on what contracts they have in your height-range at the time!

Im soooo glad we dont have to go to 'uni'...been there done that, although i am bit of a geek so would have probably loved it and taken copious amounts of notes  :P

Poppy, are the face characters already decided when u go out there? They were looking for Tinkerbell at my audition but only saw that the princesses were chosen that day. Im assuming that Tink is a face character but where does she fit in with the parades/shows etc? Does she do Fantallusion?? I reeeeaalllly wanna be Tinkerbell, im tiny and blonde...its fate  :D

Fingers crossed u guys get an extended contract.....only until Jan tho cos thats when mine runs out lol

Thankyou, it was still on my contract though?

Well of course i'll be on time and work my best.. no point being there otherwise. I'm hoping for an extended contract, i've been told if one is available, cast members will be asked first  :D

NO WAY! ARGHHHHHHH I was well hoping you would get through and join me at Disney  :(  
Yes, definitely don't be too disappointed, it's like every audition! They always have a 'look' in mind and what they actually need. Just keep your chin up and try again! How did you find the audition? Did out advice help you, did they do the same style of audition as us? xxx
