Answer Maria,
Thanks for writing. The sad reality is that without your living in Los Angeles, having an agent, taking acting classes, and being available to go on auditions at a moment's notice, you really don't have much of a chance of being cast in anything that The Disney Channel may be producing. That said, if the production company should come to your city for filming, you can then submit your headshots to the local casting director in the hope of obtaining an audition.
Sorry that I can't be more positive for you, but I wanted you to know what you're realistically up against.
