College Cheer and Dance Squads Show Their Disney Side to Win Big this Season
College cheer and dance squads nationwide have the opportunity to earn a six-figure windfall for their college spirit program and come to Walt Disney World Resort to “Cheer On Your Disney Side” sponsored by ESPN working in collaboration with Disney Destinations and Varsity Spirit.
This week, college cheer and dance squads began competing in a nationwide competition by creating 30-second videos of a cheer or dance routine using remixed Disney Park attraction music to show off their “Disney Side.” Video submissions are being accepted at Espn.com/CheerMagic through Nov. 10 with four finalists announced Dec. 11 on ESPN around the telecast of the Home Depot College Football Awards show at Walt Disney World Resort. Rules may be found at www.espn.com/CheerMagic.
Fans can get in on the action by voting for their favorite “Disney Side” cheer or dance routine from the four finalists. The winning squad will be announced January 12 on ESPN before the college football National Championship, the exciting culmination of the new College Football Playoff format on ESPN in which four semifinal teams will compete on New Year’s Day for the national title on Jan. 12 in Dallas.
The winning cheer or dance squad will earn a $100,000 grant from ESPN for its college spirit program and a team trip to Walt Disney World Resort.
This year, Disney Parks is encouraging people to show their “Disney Side”- their fun-loving adventurous side that laughs more, says “yes” more and just plain lives life to the fullest.

That’s A Wrap! Saying goodbye to the American Idol Experience by Heather Holley
The American Idol Experience in Hollywood Studios is officially closed. Most people are probably ok with this change, but not me. This is a former Cast Member saying good-bye to their attraction and sharing what it was like during the first days at the American Idol Experience.
My dream has always been to work for Disney. That dream came true in 2009 when I did the College Program. I was assigned to be part of the opening team for the American Idol Experience. At first, I wasn’t thrilled. I didn’t even like the show, but since I already worked in TV I guess it made sense to put me there. I showed up for training anticipating an attraction I wouldn’t enjoy, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Being part of an opening team was an remarkable experience. As a guest, you experience the outcome of all the hard work beforehand. We were a group of people trying to create a flawless experience for guests. Changes happened constantly. Our motto was, “It’s all carved in Jell-O.” This means there was some confusion or frustration time to time, but by the time we opened we were confident in the American Idol Experience.
Opening day came February 14th, 2009. All of the Cast Members were in the park extremely early for the “blue carpet” media event. All of the Idol winners were there along with Ryan Seacrest, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson. David Cook and David Archuleta performed for Good Morning America. It was an amazing day that I will never forget. This grand opening is what opened my eyes to how amazing this attraction was going to be. Not only was my dream coming true, but I was being a part of making others’ dream come true too. This was the best feeling in the world. I spent the next 5 months of my program with a smile on my face every day.
Much of my happiness came from the incredible team I worked with. I left with lifelong friends and too many memories to count. I think about my team a lot, and sometimes wish I had extended my stay. But everyone knows all good things must come to an end. I wasn’t able to make it to the last shows on August 30th, but I was there in spirit, clapping and singing “I’ve Got the Music in Me” with all the other Idol cast members. I have so many other stories and emotions I could share, but I think all there is really left to say is thanks for the time of my life American Idol. Being a part of this was an honor.
I’d love to hear your American Idol Experience memories. Maybe that will cheer me up! Hit me up on Twitter @hoodie_life.
