Atmosphere Character Auditions - Is weight an issue?

[SavannaQueen]

So I'm currently a CM at Nemo, but I'm looking to transfer to atmosphere characters. The audition is in early June, and I was wondering if any former/current atmosphere characters could give me some pointers on the audition.

Also, I'm about 5'10" and around 250, would this be an issue for the audition? I can move around like I weigh 100 pounds less, and I'm a very animated person in my everyday life. Would my height and weight instantly disqualify me from auditioning, though?

Did you post this in the Break Room forum?

I did now. I just figured that there might be former atmosphere characters in this forum that don't post in the Break Room. If this thread needs to be deleted, then I'm sorry.

Weight is an issue, because you need to fit into the costumes.

(I know this because I auditioned a few years ago, and didn't get it.)

If you already work at Disneyland, I would recommend setting up a meeting with an Entertainment Manager. They could tell you everyhting you need to know.
