The prices and events included in this proposal can only be confirmed upon receipt of a tour application and booking of activities. The price is subject to change according to the number of passengers. Air rates will not be available until 11 months prior to your departure. This estimated airfare is based on a rate available on 5/10/05, and includes estimated air taxes. Once we request and hold actual air space for your group, we will guarantee a fare two weeks prior to receiving your air deposit. Airfares are subject to airport tax increases until passengers are ticketed and paid in full. Please Note: Your initial invoices will show an estimated distribution of passengers at the quad, triple, double and single room rates, resulting in an estimated total balance. When we receive your final rooming list we will adjust your invoice to reflect your actual distribution and actual final balance. Your final balance must be paid in full 45 days prior to departure. Magic Music Days: The director must complete all audition packets for Magic Music Days. The application must be sent to Magic Music Days at least 2 months prior to the performance date requested.  Please note: **The tour price and itinerary are contingent upon the group’s acceptance into Magic Music Days.**  

Magic Music Days Disneyland Performance Audition Guide * Application Deadline: It is imperative that any group interested in performing as a part of Disney’s Magic Music Days submits all required performance material no later than 2 months prior to departure date. Acceptance into the program will determine the tour price, itinerary, and performance options. 

Step One: Take a Photograph of your group Consider your costuming as equally important to how your group plays, sings or dances, and select the following:   A formal, uniform look, including shoes    A style that is age appropriate and tasteful with respect to a family audience   Costumes that suit your music and choreography   Matching or complimentary attire for the director and accompanists, if applicable   A photo of your group in these costumes that was taken after January 1, 2002 Not acceptable on stage at the Disneyland Resort:   Denim or T-shirts, athletic shoes, sandals, tattered clothing or any unmatched or non-uniform styles in clothing or footwear   Bare feet, two piece costumes that show the stomach, suggestive necklines, short crop-top styles, miniskirts or other revealing costumes   Costume changes   Mascots or costumes that suggest the portrayal of any personality including Disney characters   Costumes that mask or cover the face If you are purchasing new costumes and do not have them at the time of application, please send a drawing of your proposed costume

Step Two: Make a Recording Prepare a video recording that reflects your group’s best performance skills. Your audition recording is evaluated using the following criteria: Sing musically with special attention to enunciation, intonation, balance and phrasing Maintain good posture, energy and stage presence Have appropriate content. Popular music may contain content, lyrics and references that are not appropriate at the Disneyland Resort. Airplay on mainstream radio stations does not ensure “G-Rated” content. Examples:   “Greased Lightning” from the “Grease” Soundtrack. This version contains explicit lyrics An adaptation without explicit lyrics is acceptable   “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by the Charlie Daniels Band. This version contains explicit lyrics An adaptation without explicit lyrics is acceptable  “Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera. The original version contains inappropriate references An adaptation without inappropriate references is acceptable and ensure the quality of your recording   Chose a room with the best possible acoustics for your recording. The concert setting usually provides better acoustics than your rehearsal room   Use high grade equipment and a new video or audiotape   Start recording close to the beginning of the tape   Check your recording close to the beginning of the tape   Check your recording level to be sure playback is loud enough but not distorted   Record three or four short, upbeat selections that are representative of your intended performance.   Play back your entire tape to check your recording. You may wish to use it as an educational tool by having performers critique their audition before mailing it.   Cue the tape to the beginning

    *Prepare a list of your recorded selections in order and attach it to your tape

      *Label your tape with the name of your group

      *No adjudication or promotional videos can be accepted

• Typhoon Lagoon• A nasty typhoon swept through a 56-acre village tossing the shrimp boat, Miss Tilly, to

the summit of Mt. Mayday. Rebuilt into a dazzling watery playground, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park offers high-speed thrills in a beautiful tropical environment. Among the rides is “Typhoon Lagoon”, featuring the world’s largest inland surfing waves, “Humunga Kowabunga”, with two speed slides to shoot you through caves at 30 mph, and “Shark Reef”, where you can snorkel a coral reef teeming with sharks!
