Kris Allen is Going to Disney World


Kris Allen - you have become the newest American Idol! What are you going to do next?

"I'm going to Disney World! WOO!" Kris Allen shoted from the American Idol stage in the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

Moments after being proclaimed 2009's American Idol on the night of May 20, Kris Allen participated in a Disney tradition that dates back to Super Bowl XXI in 1987. Over fifty football heroes, Olympic medalists, and World Series champions have uttered the famous phrase, "I'm Going to Disney World!" after some kind of victory, with their taped declaration airing on TV as a commercial soon afterwards. And now, it seems as though American Idols will be the latest to join the campaign. Allen is the second singer in history to film the iconic commercial, following season 7 American Idol winner David Cook last year.

In accordance with tradition, the new Disney World commercial aired hours after the show's finale. It featured photos of Allen when he was young along with clips from his first American Idol audition, all set to the sound of Allen's sweet voice signing, "When You Wish Upon a Star." It concluded, of course with Allen enthusiastically announcing his future trip to Disney World.

The best part of this famous advertising campaign, however, is that Allen really will go to Disney World! The dates of his trip haven't been released yet, but he'll undoubtedly meet with park guests and star in a parade, like many athletes and celebrities before him.

When Allen does come to Walt Disney World, it's a sure bet that he'll participate in a filming session to update American Idol Experience, which currently features clips of past American Idols and contestants like Jordin Sparks, David Archuleta, and David Cook, singing and giving contestants a little stage advice.

One of the newest attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the American Idol Experience captures the energy amd excitement of American Idol, and just like the show, it offers real people a chance to become stars every day. Regular park guests audition to take the spotlight on stage, and the chosen performers with the most talent compete in shows throughout the day while fellow guests in the audience cheer them on and vote for their favorites.

Hours before the American Idol finale wrapped up and the newest American Idol proclaimed his love for Disney, several past American Idols and former contestants walked the red carpet and gave kudos to the American Idol Experience.

"The American Idol Experience really will blow your mind. If you've never been to the show, you pretty much have been to the show after you've been there," said Jason Castro, season 7 finalist.

"Disney does it right, that's all I can say," added Melinda Doolittle, season 6 finalist. "Going to the American Idol Experience, I was blown away."

If you're an American Idol fan, you'll definitely want to check out this fun and musical attraction at Disney. And stay tuned to find out when Kris Allen will be heading to Disney World - it might be sooner than you think! Check out Walt Disney World tickets on OrlandoFunTickets.com to get ready for his arrival.

American Idol Experience Tips from the Pros


Sure, it is easy to easy to sit in front of the TV and vote (or boo) for the performers on stage during American Idol. But actually performing in front of a live audience is no picnic, and that’s a challenge Walt Disney World guests can experience for themselves at the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Though it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a lot of fun, performing on stage can be nerve-wracking, especially when there’s a Dream Ticket on the line. So, Disney rounded up some American Idol experts at the premiere of the American Idol Experience and asked them to give their best tips for a great Idol performance.

Ace Young summed up his winning formula. “You pick a song that you love, that you enjoy, that you can’t forget the lyrics to, and you’re good to go,” said the season 5 finalist.

“Perform in front of a mirror – it can help you out a lot to see what you look like before you let everyone else see what you look like,” offered Bucky Covington, season 5 finalist.

When it comes to nerves, the finalists agree it’s important not to let them wreak havoc on your performance. A few of them offered some suggestions for keeping stage fright under control.

“Make sure you take deep breaths, because when you get nervous you never know what’s gonna happen,” said Kimberly Locke, season 2 finalist.

“I think the trick is you have to use the nerves,” said Mandisa, season 5 finalist. “You just kind of channel it into adrenaline. You get out there, and especially if you’re doing an upbeat song, nerves can actually work in your favor.”

And one genuine Idol expert, judge Paula Abdul, emphasized the importance of being unique.

“Find your own unique sound – don’t be a sound-alike – no karaoke, we’ve got every Mariah, we’ve got Whitney, we’ve got Christina. We need original people,” said Abdul.

Fantasia Barrino agreed, but said having fun and relaxing was also key.

“My tip is to be yourself and to have fun. You’re only human, and nobody’s perfect. Be yourself. And the gift that you have is something that God has given you, and everybody wants to hear it, so share it!” said the winner of Idol season 3.

“If you love to sing, and there’s certain songs – whatever, just get out there and do what you love, and show everyone how much you love it. That’ll make everything about 30 times better, it’ll be great,” Carrie Underwood, season 4 winner, added.

Season 7 winner David Cook echoed the sentiments of the winners before him. “It’s real easy to get caught up in the competition aspect of it but if you can kind of step back and realize you’re there to enjoy yourself, you’ll usually perform better that way.”

But in the end, getting the audiences’ votes and the golden ticket often comes down to one thing, eloquently phrased by a season 7 finalist.

“Sing real good,” said Jason Castro with a grin.

Those who sing the best will earn the coveted Dream Ticket, which provides a front-of-the-line pass at a regional American Idol audition. Anyone ages 14 and up can participate in the American Idol Experience, which starts with an open audition in front of a Hollywood Studios casting director early in the day. Those with the most star potential will get to perform in one of seven preliminary shows, with the chance of performing in a talent-packed finale at night.
