I got picked for:

playing the princess at the Italy show about 12 years ago. They kept making me scream "Sava Me" My sister just thought this was hilarious.

At Universal I got picked for Earthquake and also for some spooky show I can't remember the name of.

I have been picked at DL for the Parade of Stars, I got to wear a Tutu and walk the parade route with Baloo and King Louie, it was so much fun. I also got picked at the Golden Horseshoe review, lovely pictures of me in a strawhat and corncob pipe. On this last trip my DS 2, dressed in his Buzz Lightyear costume got picked to be "Chip" in Storytime with Belle, we were amazed at how well he followed the directions. Makes me want to dress like Belle to have him clean up his toys.

On our honeymoon my DH got us picked for Superstar Television and I could have killed him! We were picked to be in Cheers as a couple sitting having a beer. I was so embarrassed, I am terrified of public speeking!

My DD has been picked 3 times to be in the Lion King show at AK. She went out the first 2 times to play an instrument, but last year she refused! She was 9 and wouldn't be caught dead! That will change eventually, I hope!

My DD was picked last year to make an announcement in MK at the Hall of Presidents before the show, because she was trying to get in trouble and get noticed -- It worked - then she was a little embarrassed!

She was also picked when she was 6 at the start of the MGM parade to make an announcement for the start of the parade, I forget exactly what she had to announce, but it was so cute!

I've been picked :
for the Indy show (in front, jumping up and down)

at the backstage Tour (just walked in and they asked, got the water dumped on me.)

At Hoop Dee Doo, one of the dancing girls sat on my lap and stroked my hair while doing part of her schtick.

Oldest DD was the magician's assistant at the old Golden Horseshoe show.

Both DD's have been picked to be part of the parade at MK a few times.

[imaprincess!]

My DH was picked to be a villian in the Indiana Jones stunt show. We were in the very last row; I think it was his pink shirt that made him stand out!

My son, 5 at the time, was picked to be a chimney sweep in the parade back in 2001.

Finally, Minnie Mouse pulled my daughter away from the breakfast table and danced with her at the Contemporary.

What wonderful memories!

[DVC2004]

DH and I were selected to be in the stunt/water part of the Backlot Tour in MGM back in 2001. I said no way!!!

I don't like getting wet and all that. Turns out the adults (then, it's different now) did not get wet. I have no regrets anyway!

[jans2kids]

DH was picked to play the Beast in the Beauty & The Beast storytime show in MK.

DS was picked twice to be the person to draw in the TREE-VIA show in one of the Innoventions plazas.

I was picked to be the assistant in the Server Amusant show in the France pavillion.

[smcd]

I never get picked! but our daughter on the other hand - over all the years we've been going she's been picked for:
The Beauty and the Beast part of one the parades at MK. She got to stack plates!
Super Star TV - I think she was one of 3 singers?
Sounds Dangerous - foley
Back Lot Tour - 1) On the Bee from Honey I Shrunk the kids 2) Al Borland 3) in the water scene at the beginning.
She's been picked 3 times for the Can Can girl at HoopDeeDoo and
3 times for the Indianan Stunt show.
Also. Our very first trip we went especially for her - I got tickets to the Mickey Mouse Club show. She was in 2 of the last shows that they taped (Brittany Spears, Christine Aguilra, Justin TImberlake)

[Madzac]

Our family was picked to be grand marshals for the parade at MGM at our recent trip!

[Tigerinvestigator]

Me and three of our friends were picked to be in the Pearl Harbor scene "Harbor attack" on the backlot tour. We were the last show on Mothers Day 2005. The lady CM's gave us Magical Memory cards for our wives and introduced our wives for mothers day. It was a great experience and we will never forget it.

[disneymom2000]

I was chosen to help with the "Flights of Wonder". What they did is throw things out above the audience and the birds would retrieve what they threw in flight. They wanted a couple of people to take a picture of a returning owl. So we were sitting on the stage prepared to take the picture and the owl came back to the stage in full flight, wings spread all the way open and headed straight for my arm holding the camera. I got the picture but I don't know how cause it scared me to death.

We were in WDW last week and got to be involved in the following:

Opening Magic Kingdom - Whole family was picked to open MK.
Voices of Liberty (Epcot) - DS7 was picked to sing with group before the American Adventure show.
Lion King - DS7 and DD5 were picked to participate in the grand finale at the end of the show.

[MickeyLa]

I was also picked to participate in the late, great Monster Sound Show. I remember doing fire crackling and the huge chandelier breaking. That one was so late, it was so funny. And the director telling us in our headsets "#1 that's fire, #2 thunder, #1 knocking door, #2 footsteps" and so on. He spoke so fast it was hilarious trying to follow.

My DH was picked to dance with the African Tam Tam dancers years back. He did not volunteer, and it was so funny watching him. My regret was that he was holding the camera bag, so we have no photographical proof!

[OctDisney]

DS - he was picked to talk with the MC before the MGM parade in 2003. The MC was going up and down Hollywood Boulevard talking about Walt Disney and my son was picked to answer some questions. ALso, he was given a special pin.

DS - Picked to roar in Lion King show

[ccchild]

Just last week, my boyfriend was picked to be the mechanic on the Backlot Tour. I've got video footage of him getting a ton of water dumped on his head!

(He also wants me to mention that he was the best mechanic the show's ever seen... )

[Damon18]

DH was picked to do the warthog noise during the Festival of the Lion King and 3 of our kids were picked to dance and play instuments at the end of the show the same day.

I also was picked to do the warthog noises for our section. My daughter still makes fun of me for that one.

My DM was chosen to be the 'footsteps' in the Monster Sound Show. Her timing was impeccable. We miss that show.
