I was so excited to see on lasts nights American Idol, a recap of the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios that premiered last week.
It was so cool to see footage of an actual event I attended!
Also if you watched the entire show, Carly Smithson was talking about her hair extensions, and sure enough I got to ride the Rockin' Roller Coaster with her and after the ride, she turned around and asked how her hair looked. It's just crazy when your world mixes with the TV world, at least for this mom blogger anyway.
I thought I would post some of my pictures from the American Idol Experience World Premiere that I attended on February 12th, 2009.
Here I am, just arrived on the "Blue Carpet"

As I mentioned in a previous post, the actual American Idol Experience was AMAZING! Disney really did right by this attraction making you feel like you are really watching a live American Idol taping. I cannot wait to go back and watch another show, and have my husband audition.

After the World Premiere of the AIE, there was a super swanky after party located near the tower of terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster. Yummy food and Blue Glowtinis were served and this was our actual chance to party with the stars of American Idol. My husband and I had a blast!
I was ecstatic when I got to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster 3 times in a row with Chris Sligh, Carly Smithson, and Sanjaya Malakar, who as I mentioned previously, was the nicest Idol and made this fun video with me.
Overall, the whole experience was amazing, and I feel very fortunate that I got an opportunity to attend this once in a lifetime event.
If you are planning a Disney Vacation this summer, this is an attraction you will not want to miss!
