American Idol's latest star, Kris Allen, fulfilled his announcement last week, "I'm going to Disney World".
The park was very crowded, between Star Wars Weekend festivities and Kris Allen's appearance.
Prior to the motorcard down Hollywood Blvd, Kris taped a promo spot with some lucky fans.
Mickey accompanied Kris down Hollywood Blvd.
After arriving at the Stage outside the American Idol Attraction, Kris said a few words.
He then sang "Heartless" and played guitar
Minnie came out and fawned all over her American Idol.
We went inside the American Idol Attraction for the 11am show. Arriving about 40 minutes prior, we were able to see the show's contestants practive their songs and get all set up.
Kris came out briefly and then left while the contestants sang their best.
Kris reappeared to announce the name of the contestant that will sing in tonights final American Idol show and win a "golden" ticket to an American Idol show audition.
Afterwards, a media question and answer session took place on the Sounds Dangerous Stage.
An American Idol Star Dedication was on the schedule, but cancelled. Maybe weather concerns?
No word on how first time WDW visitor Kris Allen will be spending the rest of his day, although he did indicate he wanted to try Rock n Roller Coaster!

I can't wait for the video of Heartless! That was so amazingly fantastic...Kris Allen is a true American Idol, and a cutie to boot. He has one lucky wife!
