“Woodstock for Idol fans.” That’s what some Disney employees are calling this Thursday’s events at Walt Disney World.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be ground zero for all things “American Idol” on Thursday, as the Mouse opens the new attraction “American Idol Experience.”

Dewayne Bevil of the Orlando Sentinel reported last week that FOUR “Idol” winners – David Cook, Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks – will be there, along with more than a dozen others, including David Archuleta, Bo Bice and Justin Guarini. And Theme Park Mom heard this afternoon that the lineup continues to grow.

If you’re an “Idol” fan, you’ll want to be in the park that day if you can. The “Idol” stars will reportedly participate in the motorcade at 4:30 p.m., so that you can catch a glimpse. And if you don’t live close enough to be at Disney World that day, you can watch David Cook on “Good Morning America” live from the park Thursday morning.

And check back here on Friday! Theme Park Mom will be there, and I’ll report back on all the “Idol” goodness and let you all know exactly how the new attraction will work.
