New to the forums, well new poster to the forums. Lurker by choice. 
Kind of vent post but maybe someone can help me out. So I decided that my current role at Walt Disney was getting kind of old and was not enjoying it. Just so you know I currently work at Magic Kingdom parking. The constant cursing and screaming by guests is taking its toll on me. Anywho I decided that I wanted to be a character. Have a couple of friends who are friends with characters and asked them what the audition would be like. They all said you learn a fairly short and simple dance and they tell you to animate something and then do the dance. Even casting said the same thing. However my audition was to learn a very complicated dance. The dance itself lasted about 5 minutes and involved doing multiple spins (2 or 3) before stopping and moving onto the next step. Other things that were asked were for high kicks, which even though I am fairly flexiable can't do. I asked one of cast members running the audition if this was normal and they stated that it was kind of odd, but then again they are working on getting Christmas ready. The music they chose for us to dance to by the way was the Christmas parade music from last year. So obviously I didn't get chosen and was kind of sad but given the fact that they were more or less looking for dancers I see why. What ticked off a couple of people who did not get in was the fact that there was one person who while we were learning the dance sat on the floor and played with his cell phone the entire time. He was offered a role. So now I must wait six months before I reaudition. My question is due to the fact that I didn't really get a "normal" audition for characters is there any way I could reaudition in less then six months? Waiting six months is a long time for a kind of an unfair attempt.
End of vent.
