American Idol Experience

The American Idol Experience in Walt Disney World was attended by all seven winners of American Idol, from season-one winner Kelly Clarkson to season-seven champion David Cook. David Cook and Kelly Clarkson were joined by Jordin Sparks (season six), Taylor Hicks (five), Carrie Underwood (four), Fantasia Barrino (three) and Ruben Studdard (two. The American Idol Experience Thursday night was a blast!

American Idol judge Paula Abdul and show host Ryan Seacrest arrived by celebrity motorcade, rolling down Hollywood Boulevard to the cheers, applause and snapping cameras of Disney's Hollywood Studios guests. David Cook treated the audience with a performance of his hit, "Light On," and Carrie Underwood performed her hit, "All-American Girl." Afterwards the pair brought down the house by teaming up for a first-ever duet, singing "Go Your Own Way," the Fleetwood Mac hit.

The American Idol Experience is a Disney attraction designed to immerse park guests in the authentic feel of a live television production, with some guests 14 or older auditioning to take the spotlight onstage, while fellow guests cheer them on from the audience and vote for their favorite singer with instant results. Audition slots are limited and interested guests are encouraged to arrive early.

Performers with the highest votes during preliminary shows return for a high-energy grand finale show that same evening. After their encore performances, one is voted the day's top singer.

In addition to their new-found theme park fame, the top vote-getter at the finale show receives "The American Idol Experience" Dream Ticket, which allows an eligible holder to schedule a front-of-the-line audition to a future regional audition for the "American Idol" television show. The American Idol Experience opens Feb. 14.
