Disney Auditions and the Discount Mouse

If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World for an audition, you’ll want to make your visit here both beneficial and fun - but you’ll also want it to be as economical as possible. After all, you’re coming to Walt Disney Wold to get a job rather than to spend your entire life savings!

Lori Matthews has written a terrific book about saving money at Disney World that we highly recommend. With the catchy title of “Discount Mouse”, the book outlines some inside information on how to get the most out of your Disney audition trip.

Get Discovered at Disney’s American Idol Attraction in Florida

Want to be discovered while on vacation?

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has created a live performance venue at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that’s based on the hit “American Idol” TV show.

According to Disney Parks chairman Jay Rasulo,

“Our goal is to try to recreate the excitement of those 24 people who show up on that ‘American Idol’ stage. We believe many, many viewers want to know exactly how that feels, and we’re going to try to reproduce that feeling for them.”

The attraction is located in the Hollywood Studios’ theater space that was previously occupied by the “Doug Live!” and “Superstar Television” attractions.
