Re: What did you have to do to prepare for working at wdw if you were a character?
I use wonder the same thing. I have watched the e-presentation like 6 times and read almost everything on the site and talked to cast members in the college program. They all said they you don't need a acting, and/or dancing background. I also cant wait to do the college program.

You don't need either. However, knowing dance can help a lot (especially if you're in one of the more common height ranges).

Thank you everyone! I have a long backround in dance so I wasn't sure if I needed to act too! Thanks again!
