I was just sent this great slideshow from the private opening of the American Idol Experience attraction at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.  Again, it was a great event and looking at these pictures is a lot of fun!

I cannot put up pictures yet of what I saw while I was inside the American Idol Experience attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios but I can tell you a few things! There were five finalists and we were given instructions about how to vote for the person we liked best (there’s a voting panel on the armrests).  The only problem is that you can accidentally change the vote of the person sitting next to you, which happened to me (fortunately, it was my husband).
At the event, all of the former American Idol winners were brought on stage where they were …read more

I just came back from the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios and I had a blast.  I’m thoroughly exhausted but it really was a lot of fun.  Disney really knows how to put on a show and I am extremely grateful to them for the fabulous trip!
I will cover the event in three parts (motorcade, American Idol Experience show and the after-party) over the next three days.  Today, I’ll kick things off by telling you all about the American Idol motorcade.

I will be in Orlando, Florida for the next three days attending the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.  Many of the former contestants, as well as host, Ryan Seacrest, will be there!  I’m so excited and I’m hoping to have a lot of pictures, video and stories to tell you when I get back!  In the meantime, watch a video about the new attraction!

Considering auditioning at the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida?  If so, you might want to watch the video below:
