Disney is casting roles for a few characters and performers. Auditions will be held on November 11 and 13.

joe gardner

Seeking the following role from Disney Pixar’s Soul:

Joe Gardner (5’11”-6’2”) is a is a New York City middle school band teacher who has always loved teaching yet has harbored an underlying passion for playing jazz piano professionally. When Joe finally gets a chance to play at the best jazz club in town, he makes one small misstep which takes him from the streets of NYC to “The Great Before.” The soul-searching experience gives Joe a second chance at life, and he returns ready and eager to share his knowledge and talents with his students and the world.

turning red

Seeking the following roles from Disney Pixar’s Turning Red:

Miriam (5’5”-5’7”) is loyal, easygoing and a total goof who can make her besties laugh when they need it most. Miriam regularly rocks a flannel and she shares her friends’ obsession with the epic boy band 4*Town. Miriam would do anything for the people she cares about, especially when their best friend Meilin transforms into a giant red panda.

Priya (5’3”-5’5”) is meticulous yet artsy, passionate yet stoic. She cares deeply for the well-being of her friends. Priya’s effortlessly chill and deadpan sense of humor make her a wildcard. She takes a calm and collected approach to school, friendship and just about anything – except 4*Town. Even Priya can’t contain her love of 4*Town.

Abby (4’11”-5’1”) is a stick of dynamite. The opposite of shy, Abby is not afraid to be heard. Fierce and passionate, she’s a tiny ball of energy who never hesitates to stand up and support her friends. Yet this tough cookie can’t help but show her soft side for Red Panda Mei. (All that extreme fluff is just too hard not to hug!)

Jin Lee (5’7”-5’10”) is the quiet, steady presence in the Lee family. Jin works hard and aspires to a life of simple pleasures. Devoted to family, Jin is a necessary balance to his strong-willed wife Ming and is a doting father to their daughter Meilin. Even though an ancient phenomenon has thrown his family into chaos, Jin remains trusting, supportive and loving.

4*Town (boy band) – To Meilin Lee and her friends, no musical group in the world is more talented – or dreamier – than the chart-topping, five-member boy band 4*Town. They may be the biggest musical act of the late 90s/early 2000s, but these five besties keep it real by staying humble and always being true to their fans.

Robaire (5’6”-5’9”) is the Leader of 4*Town for a reason. He will eventually have a successful solo career, but until then, he’s content to jam on the tour bus with his four best friends. 

Tae Young (5’5”-5’7”) is the youngest member of 4*Town and known as the “Cute One.” A lover of animals, Tae Young is dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and has personally fostered injured doves between tours.

Jesse (5’9”-5’11”) is the oldest member of 4*Town. Jesse was in art school studying a degree in ceramics before the band took off. When fame starts getting to his head, throwing clay on his potter’s wheel and spending time with his two kids brings him back down to earth. Jesse is the “Artistic One.”

Aaron Z (5’9”-5’11”) is the athlete of 4*Town and the strongest dancer. Aaron Z coordinates a lot of the band’s moves and chills out by shooting hoops. Stoic and a little shy, he’s known as the “Lone Wolf” of the group.

Aaron T (5’6”-5’9”) is fast-talking and a natural comedian. “T” is always there to break the tension when life on the road gets tense. He’s a fun-loving prankster who remains happy and laidback, even after facing interviews.

roller skaters

Seeking individuals of all heights who excel on Inline Skates.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Pixar Play Parade, the Better Together parade brought a decade of magic to Disneyland. With its energetic roller skaters, skilled bicyclists, and talented dancers, the parade captivated audiences with seven stunning units. From the heartwarming world of “Turning Red” to the cosmic wonder of “Soul,” each unit brought a unique piece of Pixar to life.

Disney hasn’t officially announced a return date for the Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration parade so stay tuned for more information.

Disney World Annual Passholders, rejoice! The parks have announced new “Good to Go” days in November, allowing passholders the flexibility to visit without making an advance reservation. This perk, which was most recently available on October 1, is making a welcome return after a brief pause, much to the delight of passholders who enjoy spontaneous trips to the parks.

The additional good to go days are November 5, and Wednesday, November 6, 2024. Introduced in January 2024, the “Good-to-Go” days were designed to reduce the need for passholders to plan their visits far ahead, particularly on lower-attendance days. Since the introduction of the park reservation system in 2020, both passholders and regular guests have had to navigate an added layer of planning, securing reservations in advance to ensure park entry.

While date-based tickets no longer require park reservations, the reservation system is still in place for annual passholders. The “Good-to-Go” perk eases this requirement for passholders, offering selected dates when they can enjoy the parks with more freedom and less scheduling.

good to go days nov 6

Even outside of these special dates, Annual Passholders can enter the parks without a reservation after 2 pm, with the exception of Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays, where blockout dates still apply. This flexibility means that passholders can take advantage of quieter afternoons and evenings, enjoying their favorite attractions without the morning rush.

For those looking to park hop, the process remains straightforward but requires a bit of planning. Passholders must have a theme park reservation for the first park they wish to visit and must enter that park before heading to another. However, on “Good-to-Go” days or after 2 pm (except at Magic Kingdom on weekends), passholders can enter their first park without a reservation, making it easier to hop over to other parks later in the day.
