Lmao quite a rant there :D!
Anyhow, just don't think about it.
Sit beside your dad, don't look out the window, listen to some music you like or read, breathe deeply and just think about how awesome it'll be once your there! :)
Good luck with the audition too :)

I have the same fear too! Well I used to. All I do is listen to some music, like my fave songs and by doing nothing I can actually fall asleep so I can't feel that I'm flying.
Other option: Get a really good book that you can easily get into, it should help!
After I got over the fear it became a lot of fun! But obviously the fear comes back sometimes. Just try to relax! There's like a 1 in a million chance the plain will crash! So don't worry!
PS: Are you going to fly alone? Or with someone you know?
Good luck in the auditions!

You need to make up your mind. Are you from LA or not? You stated in another question you are in Santa Clarita, and you say in this question you are coming from London. That puts your credibility in the toilet. And the foul language didn't help.
Personally, I think you live in a fantasy world. Supposedly coming from another country to LA, to "audition for Disney Channel Productions". Yeah, right. And I'm Santa Claus.
So, I'm guessing that this question will be deleted anyway, but I'll give you advice:
-When you post to a forum like this, remember that this is not a forum where you're IM'ing with all your 12YO friends. There are adults here, and we prefer that you ask your question in a more mature manner. If you want a good answer here, you need to ask it properly. If you post a question will all kinds of silly kid language, you aren't going to be taken seriously.
-All the silly talk aside, if you really have a problem with taking off in a plane, visualize your goal: Remember that this is the only way you are going to get where you need to go. And it will be over before you know it.

I have a fear of flying to the best thing to do is....
1) Breath - in through your nose and out through your mouth.. deep breaths help ALOT
2) Keep your feet FIRMLY on the floor
3) talk to some one or hum a tune when taking off to take your mind of things
4) NEVER look out the window it doesnt help
5) NEVER tell yourself something bad will happen... don't even think it
6) The more you think your sweating the more you do sweat i know its weird but its true so if you are sweating dont try to hide it
7) enjoy your audition =]

Every one has there own fears, I remember like the first time I was a little bit scared of flying in airplanes, then after a while it was not so bad, just live and learn, other then that just think of happy thoughts so you wont have any fear of something, that might help suppress the feeling.

I also used to have this fear. I listened to a CD by Paul McKenna and my flying fears have been laid to rest. Basically, he points out that the chances of you having a crash are less than if you opened your front door to a donkey!!! I now am able to fly if I use his technique of counting backwards from 300. By the time I have reached around 150, we are in the air and nothing has happened to us....I now love flying and wished that I had been able to adopt this procedure, many moons ago!!!

You'll do just fine at Disney; they make some of the most graphic/violent/sexually explicit and offensive movies...
You're not twelve - if so... dang... That's why kids should watch Nick - not so much with the potty mouth
You cannot drive from where you are coming from and btw, the pilot is an expert with years of training and experience, so that should alleviate your fears.

Just Hold on the top of the seat in front of you, it can help feel not that fast, like holding on to something when its fast, just do that, I do that, I hate the movement when the plane takes off, and lands. Also chew gum during take off and landing to prevent from your ears popping, and when you take off, keep it on for a couple of minutes after it reaches crusing altitude because you ears can still pop when it hits crusing altitude.

Don't worry!! You'll be fine!
I was JUST LIKE YOU this summer when I went from San Francisco, CA to Raleigh, NC.
I had a FEAR of airplanes!
What helped me out was looking at the children on the plane (or in your case, people younger than you.) I was in my seat, FREAKED OUT, and this little kid (who looked like he was 7) was giving me the "0_0 WTF" look. So, if I find out that that person is calm, I will be calm.
It also helped me out by looking out the window as it takes off. I was MORE nervous looking away from the window than looking at it.
Plus, I had a sense of comfort knowing that I had a greater risk of being shot than the plane crashing. I hope this helps out!
Before leaving, I would ride the elevators. As I took off, it felt just like going on an elevator.

Actually, this is a recognizable fear, and you COULD see a psychologist, who could help you through it with known techniques that are called desensitization. Ask your dad to take you.
In the meantime, I am going to use my connections to Disney to forward your disgusting pottymouth rant to them, which hardly fits the Disney image. Clean up your act!
