What does it take to become a Disney Princess at Disney World in Florida?|111589

I_ve always wanted to be a Princess at Disney World in Florida. Are there guidelines that I have to follow or something? I_ve taken acting classes all throughout high school, and I am willing to take them in college if it means that I can work at Disney World.

  • You will want to attend an official audition. Keep an eye on the audition page for updates. This site is great for any information you want to know about Disney auditions from what to expect, what to bring, what the experience is like, and more.

    Disney Princesses are cast into a few different groups. Those who can sing/dance/act and have the ability to portray at least a few characters could be cast as a performing princess. These princesses could be cast for in park performances like parades, stage shows, the beauty and the beast show, and other such things.

    Meet and Greet princesses pose for pictures and sign autographs. They don_t necessarily have to be performers. Disney Princesses range in height of 5_4 to 5_7. You don_t have to have the hair color of any particular princess to get cast as her, because every cast member will have a wig. The humidity in Florida is so high, so everyone wears wigs no matter what.

    You will also be taught how to do your own makeup, and will do it before every shift by using guidelines. Most cast members are not cast as one particular character, but are cast based on their versatility. They like to be able to tell someone that she is Belle one day and Snow White the next without a problem.

    If you think you can do these things, attend an audition and see what happens! They will quickly glance over people and choose those whose faces they think are versatile enough to continue. Auditions can be brutal, from what I have heard. Best of luck to you!

  • First off, you_re going to want to get a job in the Disney College program. That means working a food stand, running a ride, sweeping trash. Whatever it takes to get your foot in the door.

    Then, when there is an opening for a princess, you_ll want to make sure to apply and go to the tryouts. The requirements are very demanding, especially in regards to height and weight.

    Don_t forget, you_re not the only person who dreams of being a Disney princess, so the competition is going to be very tough.

  • You need to contact Walt Disney World Casting to see when and if there is an open casting call for that role. You will need to audition. Call Walt Disney World Casting at 407-828-1000. Good Luck!
