Disney opening American Idol Experience Feb. 14

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — An attraction inspired by the “American Idol” TV show officially opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Feb. 14.

Walt Disney World guests can register to audition in front of a Disney casting director for a chance to take part in a theme park “American Idol” show. Contestants who make the cut must then audition for a Disney producer. Those singers selected by producers will perform in front of an onstage panel of judges and an audience of park guests who vote on that show’s winners.

Performing guests with the highest votes compete in a grand finale show at the end of the day. The winner of that competition gets a guaranteed reservation, with no waiting in long lines, for a future regional audition for the real “American Idol” TV show.

Details — including age restrictions and other eligibility requirements — at www.disneyworld.com/idol.
