Hello,
I'm generally just a lurker on skate forums, but I saw your post and decided to respond. Actually, I tried to email you, but it didn't go through for some reason -- got send back to me.

Anyway, I posted something about trying out for Disney way back in january, I think. To make a long story short, I decided to stick out and try to pass my last USFSA tests and then go for it, and now I'm at that point where i'm seriously ready to go on tour, if they'll take me, so I would love to have any information you could give me.

About me, I'm 24, have the USFSA junior freeskate, senior moves, and am testing senior free at the end of this month. I just sent a resume and photos to Disney on ice, which they have to have received by now, but they have not responded...would it be okay to email and ask if they've received it? I don't know if that is appropriate. I also know a couple of friends who did Disney, and have heard that knowing people can help you get a foot in the door. Would it be a good idea to use them as contacts? Again, I would love to hear any tips you can give me about what they are looking for and how to get my foot in the door. (And also any fun stories you have.) Thank you so much in advance!

I will PM you my email address, since I know you can't post contact stuff here. Thanks!

Disney for adults

Here is the answer

I joined when I was 27 but I have seen people in there late 30's get hired..
Its all a matter of how good you are on your feet and if yoou have presence on the ice.

well, truth be told, the majority of the skaters are young and they do party hard.

Easier for the boys to get hired over the girls.

But quite honestly, making 10-15 grand per year when you are 30 inst something a person wants to aim for. I guess if you dont know what you want to do in life or are happy not making a lot, then its all good.
