i read David A. blog today and he posted

''and Cook and his band were amazing as always. It was good to see him, because I haven't seen him in a while. It'll be fun to see more of the old gang at the Disney thing coming up in a couple of weeks.''

he is talking about the opening of idol experience ,maybe the Carly will be there too

Hm, interesting question. Anyone know what the Idol Experience is anyway?

Here's the link to a post about the American Idol Experience attraction opening at Disney World-from MJ's Big Blog :

I've now heard that both Davids, Jason Castro, Brooke White, and Michael Johns will be at the opening ceremony on Thursday, which is a private event, so I wonder if Carly will be going too. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Here's the press release about the event :

You beat me to it Glauber-I just saw the list over at MJ Online and was gonna post it here. That's great exposure for Carly and hopefully we'll get pictures or videos afterwards. Yay!!!

yay for carly!

That's awesome she's going to be there for that. Plus she gets to network with all those other idols. I'm pretty sure we should hopefully get at least pictures from the event.

I WANNA GO!!!!!!!

The fact that this is at Disney World suggests to me that a lot of people will have video cameras. Cross your fingers that they film the "right" Idol...

:carly:

They're saying this is a private press-only event, but I'm thinking they will still post pictures or videos on the Idol website, so cross your fingers everyone.

Update-Good Morning America is going to show David Cook singing from Disney tomorrow morning, so who knows, they might have Carly and the others on there too.

But they also say there's a motorcade that everyone will be able to watch, so hopefully someone will have their camera going.
Yay!

Also noticed the Disney site is using season 7 Idols to promote the Idol Experience on their website - saw the Davids, Syesha, Brooke & Jason - no Carly. Boo!



:carly:

That's stupid of Disney not to use her or Michael, especially as they're taking the time to turn up for this just like the top 5.

But it's great Carly's going and getting to meet up with all her fellow Idol alumni (only Kristy Lee Cook is missing from last season's top 8 - wonder why?) Hopefully there'll be photos or vids from people watching the motorcade as well as press shots of the event. :)

Yeah, I heard that the Top 5 got to make videos about the attraction, so Carly just fell short. That's okay, we all know she's #1!!! :carly:
