Originally Posted By MPierce Sorry, that really didn't sound very clear. I just meant could you share the experiences your daughter had while competeing in the American Idol Experience. Like what she sang, and just in general the behind the scenes with the Cast Members. The process of being a contestant. Did it leave you much free time to enjoy the park. Just little details that only a contestant would know about.

Then, since it was out, I decided to take snaps of all of the contestants. Ironically, it turned out to be your daughter who I caught shaking his hand.

Originally Posted By proudmom My daughter loves the American Idol experience. The audition opens at 9am and a castmember will lead you to a small studio, were you can sing a song of your choice, you should know at least a few songs in case they ask you to sing a different song, all the castmembers are very friendly and know all about music, if they like you they will let you to the VIP room, this is the producers room, and their you will have to sing two songs of the list from Disney, following is a link of the songs allowed to sing on the stage: <a href="http://www.wdisneyw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69852" target="_blank">http://www.wdisneyw.com/forums...?t=69852</a> But before you go to the VIP Producer room, they let you use a I-pod to listen to the two songs you like to sing and practice before you go and see the producer as he will be the one to let you go on the show yes or no. We went to do audition at 9AM she got on the show of 11AM after winning the 11am show she got to the Finally show at 7Pm, so you will still have time to spend time in the parc but you can not go to a different parc. Michelle loved it, and is looking forward to going again, as she really wants to win the Dream ticket. If you are in a show for example at 11am, you need to be backstage at 9:50, as you will see the hairdresser and make up artist, plus the vocal teacher, he is great as he gives you all the advice you need, the castmemebers are all professionels. If you can sing, you should 100% go for this attraction, there is no age limited! If you like to know something else, let me know I will be glad to answer them. Kind Sunny Disney regards! Proudmom THANK YOU CMDAD FOR THE NICE PICTURES YOU FORWARDED TO ME OF MY DAUGHTER!
