The American Idol Experience opened in 2009 and gave guests a chance to be contestants on the theme park version of Idol.

It appears details for the event are still trickling in, but the Disney Parks Blog is reporting Scotty will take a ride with Mickey in a sports car from the park's entrance, down Hollywood Blvd. and ending up near (appropriately enough) the American Idol Experience.
