About The American Idol Experience

Based on the hit Fox TV show, "American Idol" gives park visitors the chance to audition to perform in a live theme park version of the show. The winners of each show face off in a grand finale at the end of the day... for a chance to audition for the real, TV version. -- Last edited by Lars Raddishtop

Disney does Karaoke. - Rob McCullough

Its a pretty good concept and dependant on who comes out to sing. The version I saw was pretty good and the finale that night was fantastic! I just wish there were four singers instead of three. - Anthony Murphy

its not even an experience. The singers are not very good and its kind of a wannabe american idol. Disney should not have installed it. - D-Man O'Connell

Disney built a great set for this show. Great energy too. Some of the guests can actually sing as well. This show is a lot of fun for performers and guests alike. - William Clark

Went to the finals show and that certainly is reflected in my recommendatin as we got to see the "best" from the prior shows. Based on a few of the participants, I would have hated to have been at some of the earlier shows! A fun time, electric audience and the judges were actually pretty good despite being casted close to their television counterparts. - Mike Burnette

A good show all in all. Very much like what I would imagine sitting in the audience of the real show. The performances I saw were pretty good and better than I expected. The judges are clearly trying to be like the judges on TV which makes them seem pretty corny - they oought to develop a little more of their own style so it doesn't seem so fake. The set looked great. - Tony Morton
