/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Dat closet cosplay... Why?

The coords on the page are much better than this crap.
>>6509763
>>6509767
>>6509769

It does bother me that, now because Disney Bound got so popular, anyone who does something similar is accused of copying or bandwagoning. Wheeen people were doing what she does (polyvore outfits vaguely inspired by characters) for quite some time. Heck there used to be a /cgl/ polyvore group just for that sort of set. pic related

>>6509778
all of those coords are based on disneybound sets tho

Overall I like the idea of bringing more fantasy into your wardrobe, but if you want to pull it off you can't toss together raggedy shit in your closet.

it's the biggest new "trend" among Disney park people too

>>6509789
the worst ones are the people who just wear a purple shirt or cardigan and say they're "disneybounding Rapunzel today!!"

>>6509795
Lol, she'd make a better Ariel than the one with the fin.
This one's my favorite so far.

Well at least they can't get turned down by the park if they're making outfit coords BASED on the characters, compared to people trying to cosplay in Disneyland and then getting the boot.

....so I'm guessing "Disneybound" is basically gijinka's of human characters?

Or to put it in hipster lingo - "casual"

Oh shit, I thought Disneybound was just a word /cgl/ came up with to use for closet cosplay....

Come on now, google isn't that hard.

>>6509795
Ugh, i hate people who do this. Attention whores trying to upstage the person whose acual job it is to be a face character. It just strikes me as innapropriate and pathetic.

>>6510397
>Official face character
>VS random fuck in similarly colored clothes
>"upstaged"
If that's true, then they're a shitty face character who ought to be fired

>>6509811
With that nose? Yeeeeah fin Ariel looks way better.

>>6510451
The Disneyland workers are usually extremely pretty and perfect with all their make-up and such.

And again, the "Disneybound" person isn't actually cosplaying, so it's fine since you only get kicked out for being 9+ and dressing up.

>>6510397
you rang?

>>6510967
Dis gurl. She has been trying to become a face character for like three years now, right? When will she stop caking on all the make-up, i mean considering thats why they didnt want her, because she takes a paintbrush and smacks it onto her face, and because shes retarded.

>>6511004
She's given up on that, actually, and now runs her own knock off Disney character party company. She even got Spieling Peter & his whats-her-face girlfriend who played Wendy and Alice to join recently. (And they are now loathed by the face character community, but hey)

>>6511010
>And they are now loathed by the face character community
Oooh! Go on, go on!

>>6511010
Is she one who wrote about being a party princess or is this another girl?

>>6511010

>>6511022
You mean the thread on SA? No that's a totally different person.

>>6511015
>>6511020
There's always been a divide between face characters and party company people--generally, face characters look down on the people who work for party companies for a variety of reasons: some because they're mad that someone is acting like Snow White but isn't a "real" Snow White, some because they don't like how the company's are making money off Disney characters, and some because *some* party company people are nutjobs like Traci. Traci in particular has been rrrrrreally disliked by most face characters because she's in the California area, has come to Disneyland with her "Ariel hair" and poses like a princess/tries to act like one when she's there and because she's lied to customers, conventions & some of her employees and told them that Disney hires her company at Disney events when is false. Disney tolerates her like they tolerate all face character companies who don't step over the line.

now, Spieling Peter and his-girlfriend-I-forget-her-name were once legit face characters, very popular in the Tumblr fandom because Spieling was a god-tier Peter Pan and his girlfriend (actually wait, they got married, so wife) because... well, probably because she played Wendy and it was OMGALSJALSD PETER AND WENDY TOGETHER. Anyway. For them to join a knock off Disney party company, and not only a knock off Disney party company but TRACI'S... was basically putting a target on their back for a lot of other legit face characters. It's like sleeping with the enemy. A lot of current face characters are pissed. One of them told me it's because it's giving Traci "cred" to have someone like Andrew & wife who were once actual face characters. Obviously the entire community doesn't loathe them but some people are h-o-t because of what they perceive as a betrayal not only to Disney & Disneyland, which is the only reason he has any sort of fame, but to the people who work as legit face characters.

>>6511022
>>6511022
No, that's not her. That's Clara LeGrow(sp?). She seems a lot more down to earth and unlike Traci, isn't a delusional obsessive Disney fan who is a party princess because it's the only way she can act out her Disney fantasies. She also, from what I've read about her parties and read on her own site, knows how to work with children and make the parties about them--everything I've seen from True Enchantment when Traci is there is making it all about HER and not about the kids.

>>6509763
This whole concept fails on many levels. It looks like pretentious disney fangirls failing to make outfits that resemble characters. If none of those images had character names next to them they would just be normal tacky and/or hipster outfits. Maybe the Rapunzel works. Gaston? NOPE.

>>6509795
So many girls do this in the hopes that they'll somehow get 'scouted'. You're right, it is pathetic.

>>6511217

why would they want that? where i live, disney is lame and always has been, even in elementary school and now among the theatre and animation nerds it's still lame. i don't get how disney is suddenly this cool popular thing.

>>6511223
Because tumblr.

>>6511217
Has anyone ever been scouted at a disney park?

>>6511228
Uh no, not to my knowledge. Disney don't fuck around. They aren't going to see you dressed in the same colors as Ariel, with your hair dyed red and think 'why, that girl would make the perfect Ariel! We must hire her at once!' You have to audition, and it helps if you know someone. But just showing up at the park thinking youre hot shit isnt going to work.

>>6511224

And the current obsession with "nostalgia" helps, I suppose.

>>6511241
if anything closet cosplays, 'disneybounding', and general attention whoring turns them off. Thats one of the (many) reason Traci was never hired. She reeks of desperation and its kind of creepy.

mfw i became obsessed with Snow White one year, and dyed my hair black and cut it, and only wore clothes in red, yellow and blue, and wore red lipstick all the time, and people would stop me and say 'omg, you look just like Snow White.' and i would say, 'thank you so much, my dear', in the sweetest, most princessy voice i could. Oh god, just thinking about that shit makes me cringe.

Maybe its just because I had done this too long at one point in my life but all this crap makes me think of are those stupid RPs in Gaia's Barton Town where "OMFG WE RP DISNEY CHARACTERS except we interpret them as sexy Asian celebrities and Zac Efron." Seriously. I don't get anything from this but mild annoyance.

Also out of all the outfits I've seen in this thread the best one was freaking Prisma/Petz ( >>6509781 ) and thats because I could see her wear something like that. For the rest its not really my thing but if someone was just doing this as a fun "Oh I like that outfit lets try that out" thing I wouldn't care so much. Its the feeling I get about the people doing it, if that makes sense.

>>6511223
>suddenly this cool popular thing

It's not suddenly popular, though? It's been steadily popular for a long time. You only think it's suddenly considered 'cool' because social media lets people post their thoughts, feelings, collections, etc out there.

It's like the logic my mom uses. OMG PEOPLE ARE JUST CRAZY NOWADAYS. No, mom, people have always been crazy, you just hear about it on the news

I've never heard of this before, but it's kind of weird.

>>6511041

Oh god, Spieling, noooo. Why would he work for Traci? He was the best fucking Peter ever!

>>6511343
I legit don't know.

One theory floating around is that he misses playing Peter and his other acting gigs haven't been doing well.

On the one hand, I can understand why someone would enjoy doing party gigs--you get a LOT more interaction with kids, you can do a lot more to make their day special because you're not having to deal with Disney rules or having to divide your time between kids and other guests at the park, etc etc, but.... Traci is such a leech and honestly, not that good at kid's parties when you have to know how to make the day all about them. I'm disappointed that he decided to work for her.

>>6511350
this is the perfect peter? he looks so old, though.

>>6511356
That's what I was thinking...isn't he supposed to be young?
Or is it more like people just find him attractive and not because they think he's an accurate Peter?

>>6511360
>>6511356
Watch his videos from Disneyland. You will understand.

>>6511360
maybe. i don't really find him cute either, though.

like i wouldn't hire him for my party, he looks creepy. and same for Tink. like, i wouldn't want a woman that curvy (and i do mean curvy, she's not too fat or anything. she's just very womanly) walking around in that little clothing around my young children.

>>6511365
she tapes 'em down for events

>>6511376
that's good.
but still, neither of them look like Peter or Tink. she'd be much better for the Fairy Godmother. and he... should stop dressing up like a 12 year old.

>>6511366
link.

>>6511381
As Tink would say, google it, you lazy ass.

>>6511384
i'm not invested enough to care. i'll stick with my opinion that he's too old.

>>6511388
"I haven't watched any of his videos because I can't google three words and have no idea what he acts like but here's my opinion anyway"

okay

>>6511397
You sound so mad.

He's a bit older now than he was when he worked at the park. Plus, I think he just looks older in photos.

>>6511419
he's not really that impressive.

>>6511381
You're such a stupid bitch.

>>6511426

What was impressive was his dedication to the character, ability to improvise at the pace he did, chemistry with the other actors, and the fact that kids LOVED him. He was always leading troops of honourary lost boys and girls on adventures and treasure hunts, like hunting for buried sugar, or crashing Alice's tea party. If forced to stand or sit in one place, he would find something nearby that could be messed with, and mess with it. He could flip his knife around, crow, and generally act like an ADHD twelve year old to comedic effect.

>>6511481
If it was a one-time anon it wouldn't rustle my jimmies, but jesus christ, Spooky is just continuously a bitch.

>>6511041
oh my... why would they do that? for shame.

also
>come to Disneyland with her "Ariel hair" and poses like a princess/tries to act like one when she's there


that's really embarrassing.

>>6511228
I haven't, but my aunt said that scouts were at her college campus years ago and they had approached her. I suppose that's a good place to find willing people. She also said they had a tendency to approach "wholesome" type girls who dress more simply and don't go heavy on the hair and makeup.

I think this was in the 80's, so I don't know where they scout and what their criteria for potential candidates is anymore. I can't imagine it's much different.

>>6511565

It's pretty strict now, since they basically have their pick of applicants. Last I heard, the auditions are a three day process now.

>>6511577
Basically. One of the Disney themed blogs I watch on Tumblr actually went to an audition and didn't get past day one. Her group was apparently pretty small, and you don't get informed before hand what they're looking for. From what she said it looks like they mostly scout for extras at those auditions and then if you're really good (or learn well) you may bump up to a face character. They look at your overall appearance, have you improv a dance routine and do a skit/monologue that's on the short side.

Mind you a lot of face characters will do double duty and in those fur-suit characters too. A friend of mine was on the intership a few years ago and a dude who was Prince Phillip also went around the park I think as Chip. (The chipmunk, not the tea cup.)

>>6511595
I went to a Paris audition recently, and the thing they drilled into us most was EVERYONE DOES CHARACTER SETS (fur suits). No matter if you're a dancer or a princess or whatever, you WILL be doing shifts as a suit character.
At the audition, they were mostly looking for extras for the special hallowe'en/christmas parades and shows
I didn't make it past round one, before anyone asks/cares.

>>6511604

I hear its easier to get into Tokyo or Hong Kong Disney, since they usually use white actors and there's a smaller pool; and they don't necessarily require that you speak the language.

>>6511629
I was considering there, as Disneysea was so beautiful. Thank you for giving me hope anon, I was worried about the language issue!

>That feelings when you're asian and so will only be considered for Mulan or Silvermist.

Also, I'm on the border of 5'3" and 5'4". Which means I'll either make a very short Princess or a very tall fairy.

>>6511641
>that feel when you're 5'10" and won't be considered to be anything other than maybe a villain.

I used to work for Walt Disney World in 2010/11 and they're pretty strict on what they're looking for in face characters. I never bothered to go to the auditions because I'm 5'2 aka the "Dead height" which means I'm too tall for certain suit characters but too small for face characters.
The auditions were held in the Animal Kingdom costume building where I had to get my uniform. There would be days where they'd be holding auditions and my bus to work would be PACKED with dolled up girls going to the auditions. I heard that over 100 girls would show up at a time and then they'd narrow it down to about less than 10 to advance to the next round.

>>6511676
Is it true that place is as much a nightmare to work at as I hear it is?

>>6511680
some of the best threads in /cgl/ history are the disney face/character workers thread. i hope some of them are archived

>>6510393
gijinka means personification..

>>6511680
My roommate was a face character and loved it. She got invited to go be Ariel in Tokyo Disney Seas.

As for being a normal employee... it is a job and you have to deal with crap schedules and crazy tourists but a lot of people love working there in spite of the drawbacks.

>>6511680
i worked with a woman who worked in disneyworld in the 80's. she worked behind the scenes but did a lot of stuff with the characters. she claimed they were high/stoned most of the time.

>>6511680
We didn get very into it, but I heard from a Snow White that it was a pretty nice job. They even let her have two months off in the middle of the summer to be in a theatre production. This was two years ago

>>6511291
laughing at you so hard right now

>>6511692

Maybe in the 80s, but they cracked down HARD on that shit. You're discouraged from drinking as well, even off duty.

>>6511515
Exactly. Which is why he kind of clashes with True Enchantment. Andrew is all about being able to make anything a magical experience for kids--hell I remember one time when I saw him making a game for kids having to wait in a long line for something--while TEE is about how Traci can fulfill her dreams to act as Ariel in public.

>>6511704

He was so good at the movement for Peter as well, it's beautiful watching kids light up while he hops around on benches and retaining walls as if flying from perch to perch. He really lives for those smiles, it's such a departure from TEE's purpose as fuel for Traci's ego.

>>6511350
I'd really love to know where all these beautiful wigs come from.

>>6511757

They're in SoCal, there are literally hundreds of places to get ready to wear wigs.

>>6511704
>>6511716
Well you know if that's the case I wonder if it will cause a shift in the company as a result. I mean, with him being as good as he is, it may make him more recommended then the other characters. If Traci was smart she'd try to mimic that in the rest of their acts. But she's not.

Getting back to Disneybound, I have to say it is a cute idea but checking the tumblr tag people fail hardcore at it!

A lot of people just assume 'oh same color as the character and im done' from what I've seen but motifs, feel of the outfit, shapes & silhouette are often forgotten so you get shit like this

'Classic Minnie'

'Merida'

'Aurora'

>>6511826

Them, I would hire.

>>6511898

Did you even read the thread? They're not cosplayers, they're former Disney actors. Those are the characters they played in the parks, now they're playing them for a party company.

Why is it shitty? Let's here it, wise costume anon.

lol

>>6511680
There would be good days and bad days, I guess it depends on where you're working. I extended my program, so I was there from Sept.2010-May.2011

The Cheesy: Looking back on it, I had the experience of a life time. I learned things and skills that helped me grow as a person, not only in a working sense but growing as an adult as well. They put you in these apartment complexes that only house other college aged cast members who are doing college/career program too. It was my first time living on my own so I learned a lot from that too. I also met some really amazing people from all over the world. TL;DR I got to experience a lot of amazing things and made some incredible memories.

The Real: This is a job just like anywhere else. Where I worked was essentially an overpriced fast food restaurant. I think I made like 7.50/hr and about $80 was taken out of my paycheck each week to pay for my apartment, and I lived in the cheapest apartments you could be in. There was also no fucking around when it came to clocking in or being late. If you had too many lates or no shows, they "terminate" you. Essentially they fire you but make it feel more dramatic because its Disney. If you get in trouble, its not just being "written up" you get REPRIMANDED. If you get X amount of reprimands in Y amount of time, you're terminated. I know in the video I linked below has the guy talking about showing up late, but I think he might have been exaggerating a bit.

You know what, just watch this video. He sums it all up pretty well. He has a series of these "Confessions of a Cast Member" videos that I can relate to really well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_WaxuN4o78

Aren't Disney part cast members basically brainwashed?

.. Traci doesnt own True Enchantment, she works for the company. Its owned by Lisa Fabio who makes all the costumes

>>6510967
>that smile

>>6513011
And yet True Enchantment is still all about making Traci's Disney Dreams come true.

NO ONE COSPLAYS LIKE GASTON!

Sup former ENT cast member here. 5'4" so I was Pooh/Munk, ask me whatever

>>6512066
they are like that before they ever even apply that's why they work at disney. disney CMs are roughly in one of 3 over lapping groups. Jaded bitchy wanna-be entertainment/actor/singer/dancers, cucukoo disney obsessed people, and College Program Interns, and everyone who works there overlaps at least two out of those three.

>>6511595
>A friend of mine was on the intership a few years ago and a dude who was Prince Phillip also went around the park I think as Chip. (The chipmunk, not the tea cup.)
Rofl no. Princes are like 5'9"-5'11" (don't quote me on that but it's within 2 inches of that) and 'munks top out at 5'5" for a monster freak tall chipmunk

>>6513134

FAQ:
>stats

5'4" female

>Do you still work for disney

I don't work there anymore I was a College Program intern, went seasonal after my program, but then they changed the seasonal requirements so I lost my sweet gig working 1 shift a year for free park tickets and discounts
.
>Characters I did:

Pooh, Chip/Dale, June/Leo/Quincy (Lil Einsteins it's Disney Jr. stuff), Dug the Dog from Up when he was still in DHS as a Meet and Greet, King Louie (favorite), Handy Manny (more Disney Jr, fuck that guy). Probably others like the cat from Pinnochio but that was just in training.

>Did you do parades

I was not parade trained because I can't dance for shit, but I got to carry the banner at the end of the animal kingdom parade hurrdurr a couple times (it's basically a job that any idiot can do, you get to do it if you're a "spare" sitting around in case someone gets sick or injured or calls out)

> Best character -

King Louie because he doesn't have to sign autographs

> Worst character -

Pooh fuck him he always made my back hurt

> Are princesses bitches -

dude you will encounter bitches no matter where you go, there will always be a proportionate amount of bitchy people, you just see more when you are trying to look for them. I've met super awesome sweet princesses liek the fairy who shared her PB truffles with us shitty spares that got stuck in their dressing room on 4th of july to do pop ups, and bitchy who-are-you-even fur characters, trying to act all hard when you're jojo the fucking clown bitch please

>>6513134
I know someone that now works at the park and fits the jaded dancer/cuckoo Disney fan. Anytime there are auditions, he is at them, to try and get a face spot. His life goal has been to work for Disney as a Prince.

>>6513139
is it true that the Fairy Godmothers in Training are considered "lower" than regular face characters? I'm applying to be a BBB hostess for fall 2013 but I want to be prepared for that totem poll

>>6513222
BBB is 100% separate from entertainment as far as I know, when I was in the program I had a roommate who was one of those. I hope you love the stench of hair spray and being covered in glitter for the rest of your natural life.

Basically, if you don't get issued basics, or work as a character attendant, you're not "in the entertainment club". Basics are the gray tee shirts and black/blue shorts, etc, that fur gets along with their fur costumes to wear underneath. Face gets white shirts and blue lab coats for while they are putting on their makeup and stuff.

Anyways, just because you aren't ent doesn't mean you won't be able to make ent friends, but we are really kept so separate from a lot of the other business lines that the only time I ever really interacted with other CMs was when I did my traditions class, when I did any of the disney-organized stuff like graduation party, and the people i lived with. i probably could have gone out and partied and made friends but i'm an asshole. when i was on the clock, i was almost always in an area that was designated just for entertainment, we always had "private" break rooms because you're not supposed to wander around in your basics, if you go into guest areas you have to take them off or cover the bar codes on them. As it was, sometimes you had to carry your costume through a guest area, you had a big ass lumpy black bag and you just tried not to make eye contact or some dickhead dad would just HAVE to say "SO WHO'S IN THE BAG HURRDURRR" right in front of the chilluns. Nice job.

>>6513271
>I hope you love the stench of hair spray and being covered in glitter for the rest of your natural life.

I love making over little kids for dance & theater shows, so I'm sure I can deal. Nothing makes me happier than a little girl being all giddy because she feels special!

>"SO WHO'S IN THE BAG HURRDURRR"

immediately thought of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZx-i6koyfU

>>6511826

She's also supposed to be Merida.

>>6513293
I always found these kids terrifying when I saw them but like you said, if they are having fun then whatever lol. At Disney, "good days and bad days" is pretty much par for the course, you can't expect every guest to be sunshine and rainbows and happiness, just have to do your best to make their experience while you are with them as good as you can, never know when you'll be the one to turn a bad day into a good one

>>6513307
the point of Disneybound isn't closet cosplay, it's to wear clothing sets that are inspired by Disney characters... whether it's the colors or the lines or the general feel of an outfit. Even the official sets, when taken out of context, don't look like closet cosplay so much as "if I was a disney fan I might get a feeling from these"

>>6511680
I have a good friend who is a costumed character at Disneyland, and before that worked in the petting zoo area. She is over the moon in love with working there. Like, it is her life.

>>6513322

But to be honest, the only thing from this wardrobe that has anything to do with the character is the color of the dress. I get what you're trying to say, but if it wasn't for her saying "I'm dressing up like Merida" , you would have never figured it out.

>>6513324
to most little kids, gaudy glittery = awesome. Especially the 5-7 crowd. Oh and I know--it's a job like any other. I would imagine some parents will be assholes/demanding because the packages are pretty pricey and they want to get their money's worth. But I do love working with kids and getting to play around, especially since (from what I read on a blog of a BBB hostess) you can play around with talking about fairies, princesses, etc etc.

Though I am a bit worried about getting the BBB job because of my acne.... I don't usually get more than1-3 pimples at a time but I have some raised/small keloid scars along my chin that are visible even with make-up on and it's a makeover role, ' I wonder if they would pass me over for someone with much clearer skin. I'm currently trying to boost my qualifications in other areas in the hopes that it won't be an issue..

>>6513349
that's true of most of the Disneybound outfits, though, which is what I'm saying. I mean her "Jack Skelltington" set is just... black and white clothes, which anyone else looking at it would not go, "THAT'S JACK SKELLINGTON."

>>6513367

You do have a point , but I don't know. I just find it rather lazy when people put on just one thing and say they're doing a Disneybound.

>>6513394
found it on the tag... she's also wearing orange and a vaguely scottish style bracelet. Like I said, it's about as "disney" as most of the other sets. And it's arguably more "Merida" than the girl wearing a frumpy pink cardigan and saying she's disneybounding as aurora, I suppose

>>6513360
I really don't think it will be if you are clean and groomed in other respects, they won't dismiss you immediately because of acne I hope

I have to admit that, as a Star Wars fan, I absolutely hate this for "Princess Leia".

It's too plain for a strong, female character and well.. it just doesn't say ANYTHING about Leia except for the white top.

>inb4 suggestions on adding brown bun accessories.

I am a tad butt-hurt, I suppose.

>>6513591
> implying that any of these Disney bound people have actually seen star wars

>>6513591
I'm with you anon on this one.

>>6511041
Wait. I though Spieling Peter and his waifu got fired because Biranna broke the code that Disney Parks has, which is to not make the individual face characters recognizable.

I know that's why she's just freelance now, instead of a park worker.

So, technically, they got fired/were asked to resign along with a few others because a park worker decided to point out how you can tell the difference between the Peters. She's actually the only reason Spieling Peter was 'famous'. She pointed out the difference between him and Acorn Peter and was why they had fan-bases in the first place.

They obviously love their jobs, so why not go work for a knock-off company, that probably pays more in the first place.

So yes. Let's blame them for something that Brianna did to their jobs, right?

>>6513591

>implying Princess Leia wore "glitzy" shit like they suggested on the image.

>>6509763
>Gaston
pffft
DYEL?

>>6513591
A brown pair of headphones or earrings would be better, I would still never guess that the coord was inspired by Leia tho. And "Disneybound" doing Star Wars things feels so wrong.

>>6513678
Disney owns the star wars franchise now, and they've had star wars weekends at hollywood studios park for years now, it's actually pretty sweet.

For grown ass adults, you guys know/care way too much about Disney shit.

>>6513699

this is a board made for grown ass people dressing up as anime characters what did you expect really?

>>6513708
Anime is a pretty broad term it can range from animation that is adult oriented to child oriented (You wouldn't show your 8 year old Ninja Scroll). Disney is meant solely for kids. I enjoy the occasional Disney film from time to time but I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch over it because I know it's meant for children, not for me.

>>6513813
you keep telling yourself that your cartoons are somehow more "mature" than the other cartoons.

>>6513813
Walt Disney's goal was entertainment that people of all ages could enjoy together as a family, he made the Disney parks so he could have fun with his kids as opposed to just sitting and watching them play at the park.

Disney is an important part of American history and it's arrogant and ignorant to dismiss it as "kid stuff" when it has been as influential as it is. You're really not impressing anyone, maybe you should go try the same schtick over at /toy/, maybe you can get a reaction from them, though I doubt it.

>>6513631

>>6513627
>Wait. I though Spieling Peter and his waifu got fired because Biranna broke the code that Disney Parks has, which is to not make the individual face characters recognizable.

Naw, because she started making posts, fanart, blogging, etc about specific friends of Alice & the Hatter in 2008. They already had a quiet youtube following which grew and grew over time. I don't know when/if she started blogging specifically about Peter, but I wouldn't blame her at all for "pointing out how you can tell the difference between the Peters" since people--well, Disney Youtube fangirls--had been doing that for years.

The main reason Disney decided they didn't want him back after his contract was that Andrew was, to quote Peter Pan himself, just too old. He's got--and is this ironic?--crow's feet and eye wrinkles that make him look like he's in his 30s at times. And although his appearance never affected his performance, Disney doesn't care about popularity and fangirls and decided not to ask him back. his popularity could have had something to do with it--but for that, look to Tumblr and Youtube, not Bri.

Also, it's their decision to join True Enchantment. Bri, nor anyone else, forced them to decide to work for a company. If they want to work there, more power to them, but that doesn't change how many fcs feel about it.

>>6509776
That dress is cute as fuck though tbh. I would wear it out to a nice event/restaurant in a heartbeat. Maybe not the rest of the stuff, but anyone happen to have sauce on that dress/a dress like it?

>>6514182
http://www.review-australia.com/audrina-dress.html is the polyvore source

>>6511041
Holy shit just googled him and he is a dead-ringer for a younger Ryan Gosling. Would bang.

>>6514157
If that's true, then just because he's too old doesn't mean he'd be fired. Typically "over the hill" (see, older than 27) face characters end up as trainers for future entertainment performers, and someone with street cred like Spieling Peter would be a top choice for the position, barring any other traits we're unaware of that would have disqualified him from the position. That's how the game works at Disney ent, you make your "friends", try to get in with the more talented ones who will go on to jobs as trainers, trainers become I guess "scout" is the position, I know there's a formal name for it but I forget after all these years, and they are the ones who sit in auditions, if you get to second round for face they help you go over the material you have to learn on the spot and explain the costume pieces and stuff.

so, tl;dr, just because he got too old, Disney wouldn't have tossed him out in the street, he must have decided that working with that rip off group had more potential than training new performers or else he just wanted to continue getting attention. It was pretty stupid thing to do, Disney is a good company to have a career with if you want to work up the ladder, maybe they don't always have great pay but they treat their employees pretty well otherwise.

>>6514195
He wasn't fired, though. Not asked back after his last season was up =/= fired.

>>6511366
Wow, he IS Peter. Just a little too old. But dat voice.

>>6511426

only tangentially related but it always creeped me out how girls would follow him/other face characters they fangirlled over with cameras

you can even tell in a lot of videos that he's thinking OKAY LEAVE ME ALONE NOW... THERE ARE OTHER GUESTS HERE...

Quietly sobbing because I'm going to Disneyland for the first time next year. I will never meet God-tier Peter

>>6510967
Where in the park is that. I would go there so hard.

>>6513591
Make it a winter outfit and have white boots with a silver belt over a long sweater, with brown earmuffs.
Voila, Leia, and practical too.

>>6514185
Thank you!

Ariel

>>6514202
Okay, fair enough, used the wrong term. Even if he gets disapproved for Peter, he could still do fur if he's all that dedicated to hanging out with kids, he could work as backstage ent, he could do parade or shows. There are options besides face character, he obviously has some problems letting the character go if he decided to quit Disney and keep being Peter in the knockoff troupe.

And this is where that too-Disney cracked personality comes into play, everyone gets it at some point, to varying degrees.

>>6514265
I'm just speculating, but I wonder if his decision to join True Enchantment is more based on his inability to get other acting jobs and the need for an income + his "need" to do Peter Pan, despite his "It's time for me to let Peter go and grow up~" speech after his end at Disney. Doing parties can be fairly lucrative, although I don't know what True Enchantment pays, "Marty" LeGrow said she can make in one party+ tips what a face character makes doing full shifts all week

>>6513821
Who said this was a pissing contest over dumb cartoons? You guys are the retards that get super worked up over Disney princesses. Get a life.

>>6513832
You lose the point, this whole Disney cosplay popularity thing is blown way over proportion by people like you guys and that Ariel chick who stalks Disney. They're fun family and children films you guys have to stop taking it so seriously.

>>6514212
I had heard that's why he left the parks - his fan girls wanted all his attention and wouldn't let him interact with other guests.
A private company would let him focus on only a few guests without worrying about the fangirls, but that still doesn't explain why it had to be True Enchantment.

>>6514378
lol I read her comics.

>>6514664

I was about to say, the Marty LeGrow who made Bizenghast? That's pretty cool.

>>6514612
He didn't leave, he wasn't asked back. But he (like a lot of "friends" that get popular) was getting annoyed at the entitlement some of his fangirls had. Like because they knew it was that "specific" Peter they would follow him with cameras, try to hog him during shifts, etc, when he clearly wanted to interact with a lot more guests without being hounded.

As for why True Enchantment, it's a mystery. It's possible that because it's in the area of where he lives + the most popular of the fake character party companies in southern California, that's why he chose it? Idk. I can only say that I hope that his parties at least are better than Traci's

>>6514676

>>6513421
bitch looks like she's about to bust out crying

>>6511241
There are too many requirements to be a Disney princess, and I knew a friend that got screwed over on her audition because...she wasn't tall enough.

Also I never thought I'd see the day there was drama involving the characters at the Disneyland parks. I'd rather hang out at Disneyland Tokyo at this rate!

>>6515061
>Also I never thought I'd see the day there was drama involving the characters at the Disneyland parks.

It's a job like any other. There is always drama. Yes, even at the Tokyo park.

>>6515080
Typically I'd think "she bought 50 dicks off eBay..." but seriously I wish the scandals only stuck to "Disney is Illuminati" or the fake Disneyland Paris Mascot sex scandal.

>>6513134
it's quite likely I'm mis-remembering... or he was lying about the suits he had to do in order to get away from the bitches flirting with him who didn't even know what movie Phillip was from.

>You're Phillip? Wow!
>You know which princess right?
>Yeah! Um... Cinderella
>NO BITCH I WILL CUT YOU

It may be different now, but it made me irked at the number of people in the internship program who really don't care about Disney (or at least enough to know more then confused and inattentive parents.) "I watched the movies as a kid! And can't remember any of the character names."

>>6513678
>"Disneybound" doing Star Wars things feels so wrong.
Because they don't have a Star Wars ride in the park or anything, even before they bought the franchise.

>>6514701
I guess a girl had to do something when TokyoPop went under...

wut

postan qt face characters.

>>6515201
Is she official? She looks so young!

>>6515207
Yeah, she works at disneyworld. She's pretty, isn't she?

>>6515201
someone shoop her into lottie oh my god shes adorable

>>6515210
She's also got dem curves. Its a shame disney doesnt have Lottie at the parks. This girl would be perf.

>>6515223
wow what a slut disney should fire her.

>Bound
oh god I thought it was gonna be Homestuck-related and almost downed a bunch of laxatives so I could explosively shit all over everything.

Uh. I guess it's whatever. SOunds cute. I imagine people have made some pretty cute coords already, so no big.

>>6515228
Blatant trolling aside, i do think it's a tad bit unprofessional of her to post her business all over tumblr. I always thought Disney didnt allow face characters to come out and say 'oh look at me, im a face character at Disneyland woohoo' and proceed to post pictures of themselves in (and out) of costume. Kinda spoils the magic a bit.

>>6515233
Here she is as Snow White.

>>6515233
this bitch is pretty and has my dream job. what is her tumblr? i must now proceed to ruin her life. bitch.

>>6515201
Perfect Cinderella omg! Cinderella is always pretty, though. The others are usually a bit hit and miss. Ariel is 9 times out of 10 a butterface, and Aurora pretty much looks like a pornstar. Snow Whites wig is weird.

>>6515233
They don't care if you post about working as a "friend of___" or even necessarily about posting pictures people take of you as Cinderella/whoever, buuut the pictures where she's camwhoring as Cinderella would definitely be a no-no. People take them all the time but releasing them in public while you're still working there isn't a good idea.

>>6515243
Dude, most of the wigs are wierd and look too big for the characters heads lol. Your right, Cinderella usually looks good, but the others...hit and miss. I dont understand why Disney cant get the flipping wigs right. Pet peeve, mang.

>>6515233
So because they work for Disney, you expect them to be your fairy tail slaves 24/7 and never be human outside of work? Welcome to reality.

>>6515244
Yeah, pretty much. I literally do not want to know what goes on in a face characters personal life. Keep that shit to yourself, ya know.

>>6515250
Damn. Could they be wearing anymore makeup?

>>6515244
>Welcome to reality

That's the whole problem. Face characters are meant to not openly say they are actors so that they don't ruin the illusion of OHMIGAWD REAL LIFE CINDERELLA

>>6515250
Is the girl with black hair also a characer?

>>6515250
Why are the Aladdins always so meh?

>>6515256
Yeah. Not sure who she plays, though.

>>6515252
This

That's why Disney HAS those rules in the first place

>>6515247
To be fair, they are starting to do revamps of their wigs/costumes to match the ~new line~ which is, although too poppish for my tastes, much more flattering.

Pic not related, I just like this Snow White

>>6515254
I guess they get used to it, working where they do. Kinda makes my skin itch just looking at them.

>>6515247
The only decent wig is Meridas, imo.

>>6515252
To be fair, when she posts stories or pictures on her Tumblr, she doesn't refer to it as herself--she says things like "This boy met Snow White today" not "This little boy came up to me and was sooo cute"

>>6515265
merida's wig is very useful

>>6515263
Man, looking at these two cakefaces is making me want to audition. Like, with 2 inches of foundation and overplucked eyebrows, anybody can be a disney princess, right? Jeez.

>>6515272
Actually, you should audition with a fresh face. They're wearing stage makeup, probably because once you work in entertainment for a while you get used to caking it on.

>>6515272
The casting people do seem to like the whole ridiculously overplucked eyebrow look. I guess it looks more cartoonish? Idk, but whenever i go to Disneyland, all the face characters have what can only be described as freakish eyebrows.

>>6515262
That makes me sad :(

>>6515288
Ooooh gurl, that ain't cute.

>>6515288
Dem crusty eyelashes. Eewww.

ITT: So many bitter jealous ugly fangirls that'll never amount to anything in life.

>>6515314
I was wondering when somebody would play the jealousy card. Tale as old as time.

>>6515256
I think she's Aurora.

Thats why you blaze up beforehand, duh. Everybody does it.

>>6515337
Bahaha, no. You'd get fired so fast your Chip'n'Dale would spin.

I'd love to work costuming for a Disney park. But then I found out that you have to be able to climb ladders and work in the warehouse to get your foot in the door. Wheelchair strikes again.

>>6515337
Or I could get a job that I don't hate so much I spend my days drunk and or high to get through them for shit pay?

>>6515247
Yeah but Mulan has the worst wig in the history of the world. Ive literally never seen anything like it.

>>6515344

I'm pretty sure I'm happy with a career that pays salary and having my own house, but thank you very much for your offer of jelly though.

Here, have horsehead.

>>6515345
Seriously, it looks cheaper than most Halloween "geisha" wigs I've seen. Why are Disney's wigs so bad?

>>6515345

>>6515326
Funny you say that because this girl suffers with depression and is infact chronically depressed and apparently deals with her depression in destructive ways (although she never goes into what kind of destruction. Drinking and fucking around is my guess.) Never judge a book by its cover, anon.

>>6515347
lol no way I'd take better pay for sitting in a boring office job any day of the week, but nice projecting!

>>6515351
Hnnng dat dress. All of my want.

>>6515350
Why is Mr. Incredible about to punch Mulan?

>>6515351
White girl problems. What the fuck ever. She has the job that millions of girls would give their right arms for, is very pretty, has a nice figure, good friends, can afford a decent education, probably has no end of suitors, and she's 'chronically depressed'? Give me a break.

>>6515350
Those Incredibles suits are so horrifying. The Pixar stuff rarely translates well to mascotsuit, I've noticed.

>>6515357
>waah you can't have a mental illness if you're pretty!

o cgl

>>6515356
Her wig is offending his delicate sensibilities, so he is going to punch it off. No biggie.

>>6515357
> has the job that millions of girls would give their right arms for

Speak for yourself. Shit pay? I like my desk job. That's why I'm posting insecurities all up in hurr.

>>6515357
You sound like one of those jerks from /r9k/ who thinks that women cant be lonely. Lel.

>>6515356
I don't know but Mulan don't take that shit

>>6515351
It's really weird looking through her tumblr and seeing her talk about having depression minutes before posting "Someone on the internet said I'm pretty! This makes me so sooo happy!!!"
Even if she's a paid actress so I'd expect she could fake not being depressed, there's no reason for her to put up the act on her tumblr.

>>6515362
Yes. You are every girl ever and no girl could possibly have opinions or desires different to yours.

The new Cinderella costume and wig really is so much prettier than the old one. Definate upgrade. I cant wait to see the changes of the other princesses.

>>6515369
it really is

>>6515365
Share her tumblr.

>>6515366
Correct. Other opinions don't exist as mine is clearly the most accurate.

>>6515365
depression is very fickle, one minute you can be hanging out with your friends having a party and the next they find you with slit wrists in a bathtub. That is why people almost never see their friends contemplating suicide before it is too late and why suicide notes are primarily the stuff of fiction.

Even if a person is almost always depressed it is very common to hide it, or even lie to yourself about it, you know you should be happy about something so you react very strongly to the thing that should be making you happy.

Some people have learned that if they talk about their depression or admit to having it, the people closest to them will dismiss it and tell them the equivalent of "just cheer up", so they make plenty of effort to trying to cheer up, but they always feel depressed anyway and wonder what is wrong with them.


Anyway, just pointing out that even if someone is occasionally happy, or just saying they are, does not mean they do not have depression.

>>6515364
fuck, I lol'd

This is why I love seeing/hearing about the shenanigans of face characters in the parks, I love crazy crossover stuff like this.

>>6515383
me too

>>6511804
>>6511822
AHAHAHAAHAHAHA


JEWS

Anastasia is now Disney?

>>6515357
wow. under what rock are you living? depression is a mental illness. it is the same as you would say: BAWW give me a break she can't have a broken leg since she is pretty!

Your stupidity and jelly is showing and you should shame yourself.

>>6515369
Yeah, I started noticing that they've begun drawing Cinderella's bangs swept to the side in all the disney princess packaging and shit.

I'm glad for the update as well. It'll be neat to see what other modern versions they come up with in the future.

>>6515061
>There are too many requirements to be a Disney princess
>she wasn't tall enough
Height is like, the very first most basic requirement they have, more so than looks or personality at all.
>>6515153
RE your first part there, it's something that looks good on a resume, and there are plenty of positions that don't really require character knowledge, like cooking, hospitality, or a lot of the management stuff. People do DCP for a lot of reasons and I'm not going to judge people who can see it as a career opportunity more so than a chance to relive childhood every day. I knew/know a guy who built his photography business through his DCP in photopass and the contacts he made there.

>>6515241
When I worked there, they didn't even really like it if they (trainers or management) overheard stuff like "Oh, I'm a really close friend of ___" and while you may not have gotten an official write up, they might have had words with you. Some managers take Disney Magic really really seriously. I had a surprise review when I was Dug and got told off for sitting down, not because the costume could get dirty but because the bottom of my shoes showed and since they don't look like real dog feet on the bottom I could "ruin" the Disney Magic for some kid who somehow failed to realize that 5'4" dogs are uncommon and also do not stand on two legs and never blink.

>>6515338
Disney is quite progressive with hiring differently abled people, I knew a Character Attendant who was in a motorized chair (she was kind of big) and I swear I saw one person in a regular wheelchair working costuming. When I worked at DHS, there was a guywho was in charge of all the touchups to the hard faces of the heads and he had a messed up arm with like 2 fingers or something. Don't give up your dream if you really want it, Disney can see passion in people and they try to make it work when they can.

Here have a picture of me as Louie

>>6515700
>Disney is quite progressive with hiring differently abled people

Even if the job description says you have to be able to do something, though? I was just looking at the part time costuming position and it said

>Physical demands include walking, standing, climbing tall ladders and working at heights. Additionally, lifting/pushing costume inventory that may weigh 25lbs or more.

>>6515369
>>6515370
Wow, that IS a difference! It's changed enough to look much more modern (in sewing technique) and....I dunno...authentic? Like it's an actual dress and not just some floppy costume?

>>6515718
I've never understood why the basic character gown for Cinderella was so butt ugly. The costumes for parades or special events (even the American ones, which are usually not as fun/outrageous as the Paris & Tokyo costumes) are usually gorgeous

>>6515721
Yeah, especially considering that all the Princesses are one of Disney's biggest cash cows right now. You'd think they'd REALLY ham it up to be the absolutely more gorgeous high-budgeted costumes in the park.

I mean looking at >>6515370 really makes me question if this was done by an authentic disney costuming team. This is just embarrassing and so low budget and unimaginative. Totally not what I'd expect to see my favorite princess like if I were a kid.

>note: not hating on the girl, herself. Poor thing's gotta work with what she's given, after all.

aaand october 2012 or the newest redesign.

now, I do wonder if they are going to introduce these redesigns to the Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong parks?

>>6515746
It's interesting that they've stuck to the swirly-twirly material/fabric for her dress. Consistency, if nothing else, I guess.

>>6515746
>>6515369
Wow. Whoever designed this did a great job. Cinderella looks absolutely enchanting, as opposed to hideously frumpy. And they finally got the wig right. Nicely played, disney.
>>6515730
And i thought Mulans wig was bad.

Goodness, it even glows!

>>6515734
This one is pretty aight.

>>6515807
So she got hired the first time she tried out? Thats pretty impressive tbh. My sister tried out 3 times before she got hired, and her best friend auditioned about 7 times, and only got hired because my sister put in a good word. Disney must really like her, which is why they let certain things slide...Im mad jelly.

>>6515800
>finally got the wig right

except the wig doesn't really look like her hair in the film

>>6515827
Well, Disney has had, what, 40 or so years to get the wig from the actual movie right, and they've always failed. They obviously know that shit aint working, so they redesigned and updated it. And it looks so much better. I wish they'd do something with Snow and Ariel.

>>6515831
Oh, they will all be getting a revamp within the coming months. Cinderella was just the start.

>>6515838
I really like Jasmines new look, although tbf nothing was wrong with the old one.

>>6515838
Poor Rapunzel, she looks so off next to the others.

Hate Belles hair. It looks a bit sloppy.

>>6515831
I would say the wigs from 2003 on are as close as you can get for her hair in the film.

>They obviously know that shit aint working, so they redesigned and updated it.

The redesign had nothing to do with how the park costumes were received, it's because they're updating the Disney Princess line to be more "hip" and "young" and are reflecting that in the parks. Pic related.

I think the new design is much prettier and a helluva lot more flattering, but there's no "right" or "wrong" in this case.

>>6515840
wait, they're changing princess's canon look?
>>6515840
isn't fanart?

>>6515838
>>6515846
belle and cinderella's faces look different than normal

>>6515847
They're changing the way they are marketed, yes. It's not fanart. The new designs will be used in books, clipart/marketing/promotional art, t-shirts, anything with graphics, it's (kind of) reflected in the new dolls (hence why the LE Cinderella doll didn't look a thing like her in the film) as well as in the parks.

>>6515847
Yep. Not fanart.

>>6515838
I really wasnt so keen on the rebranding at first. But now i think that change is a good thing. Everything looks so much more vibrant and modern, while still staying true to the original. Im definately excited to see how well these designs will translate in real life. Cinderella looks absolutely amazing, so i kinda cant wait lol. Hate to say it, but some of the current costumes are unaesthetic to say the least.

Does anyone know what the minimum age is you need to be, to work as a face character?

Getting back on topic.
'Ursula'

I'm going to audition in february, any tips?

>>6516246
google disney audition tips, there's like a million pages for it

>>6515846
Belle's hair makes it look like she just had rough sex.

>>6515898
Pretty sure it's the same age as holding any job in Florida.

>>6516449
I don't live in the US and can't seem to find it on Google. So I assume it's something like 16 years old?

>>6515700
>motorized chair

Does she perform in Disney California Adventure for the Aladdin play too? I saw her when I was visiting a few weeks ago.

>>6516344
This. Belle's redesign is horrendous. The rest are okay I guess.

I just don't really like the idea that they're redesigning the "canon" designs for the princesses in general. It just doesn't really make sense for them to not look the same as they do in their movies.

in a recent Beauty & the Beast book (not the whole story, ,just a "this happened while she was at the castle") that used the new Belle design, they had her preparing for an evening with the Beast and saying she "wanted to try something new" hence the new look. Though in the new general Cinderella book, it's her new look the whole time, so.. idk

>>6516344
my fucking kingdom if when they redesign the princesses they give tiana a more natural texture to her hair. They don't have to give her an afro or anything, just maybe give her a curl pattern or something and it'd make my life.

or is she too new to get a makeover

>>6516344
That might be why I like it.
But by cgl terms: fuck sluts and whores.
Sexy hair is not allowed.
Or we feel bad about ourselves.

>>6517155
princesses are princesses
vessels of purity and love
they are not objects of desire

>>6517156
And yet, seagulls only wish they were 'objects of desire'.

>>6515846
I will never understand why Repunzel is always shown with her blonde hair.

>Slave Rapunzel had long, dirty, tangled blonde hair.
>Princess Rapunzel had a youthful kickass brunette pixie

>>6517156
I think everyone has their own opinions on princesses. The key of it seems to be something of desire.

>>6515288
My god it's like everyone there is getting their makeup done by Michelle Phan.

>>6517160
says you

>>6517167
Probably for kids who like playing with long hair on their dolls.

>>6517169

>>6517167
I feel the same, but Rapunzel's long hair is "magical" and "princess like".
I think the emotion in the scene where her hair is cut is probably slightly lost on younger kids... And it's more traditional for women to be seen as feminine with long hair.

>>6517167
Because she's Rapunzel. That's the point of the character. Is it really that hard to understand..?

Back on topic, the famous pair actually disneybounded themselves.

>>6517317
She's fat and he looks like a middle aged irishman. Attention whores, both of them.

>>6517617
Fat?! Sit the fuck down. And if you knew anything you'd know that disney refuses to hire anyone under 115lbs. They have to look healthy and cute, and not like walking skeletons. Its all about being a good influence to little girls.

>>6517622
>good influence to little girls
Oh thats rich. Have you seen the size of Jasmines waist? Maybe the good folks at Disney should start drawing their female characters with more realistic proportions before they start getting uppity about only hiring chubbies hurrrrr.

>>6517657
Cartoon proportions do not translate well in real life and vice versa.

You seem upset...

>>6511241
Fact. There's a whole (albeit beautifully decorated and organized) process to being hired for Disney parks/Disney in general. In high school, a friend really wanted to work for Disney Florida. They immediately sent her an embossed folder with their college program info/info on park jobs in it. I forget exactly what she wanted to do or really whether she settled on one thing since she was considering the college program but the process was similar for each job. Interview periods, audition periods, intro/training periods, and just a ton of stuff lead by a few people and dressed up Disney style BEFORE you got to the actual hiring.

It doesn't make sense for them to scout. They want sort of blank canvases. They're looking for people that are good, probably hella wholesome, actors who know about the park. They have top tier costume people and make-up and they don't want someone who was born LOOKING like they can play Cinderella. I suppose that would help, kind of. But they want someone who a. WANTS to play Cinderella badly b. is willing to wear a wig in hot weather/makeup/do what it takes to look and act the part.

>>6517727
Man, don't feminists have other stupid shit to complain about? I dont uderstand why anybody would be butthurt about there not being a disney princess who looks exactly like them. Like, who gives a shit?

~this is what a disney princess could look like~
Not fucking likely, m8.

>>6517739
What can i say? Some people are just entitled, petty douchebags. Maybe they should spend less time watching Disney movies while stuffing their hideous faces with ice cream, and should instead go and work out.

I know that for the most part I look like a traditional Disney princess - I’m white. BUT I think my body type is underrepresented. I want princesses with curves and round faces, like me! Also, wouldn’t it be nice for a modern-day princess to have braces?

The main reason I dislike Disney so much, is that I feel as if it teaches little girls that the only way they will ever be happy is when their prince charming comes to save them.

NEWS FLASH

Not every guy who kisses you is a prince charming. Also, you don’t need a man to save you, in fact, no man can truly save you. Save yourself. Follow your own dreams, with or with out a guy. You don’t need a man!

Also, it gives little girls unrealistic body standards. When I was little, I felt inadequate because I wasn’t skinny and had a little bit of “pudge.” Now, I am comfortable with my body. It took me a while, but now I realize that I am beautiful. Every girl is beautiful!

If and when Disney shows a lot more diversity, maybe then I’ll be a fan again.

But for now, I’ll just enjoy the gasps and confused looks that I get when I stroll around with my pink hair and blue lips telling people that I kind of hate Disney.

>>6517775
>>6517767
They hate disney, and yet they want to be represented by disney. Its a paradox.

>>6517779
they are probably the same cunts who blame Barbie for causing anorexia lel.
white people problems, mayne...

Tumblr feminists make me RAGE. Stay out of my disney omg.

>probably hella wholesome
Do you have any idea how many fags work for Disney?

That was probably one of the most interesting facets of working there, as there is undoubtedly a huge number of conservative Christfags and then actual legit fags working for Disney, side by side, every day and for the most part everyone just behaves very civilly towards one another. The LDS kids in my program located one another immediately and formed a cadre, like before they even touched ground in Florida.

You're right that they don't scout, but they do have location auditions in some major cities, and they (used to, not sure if they do anymore) send out recruiting reps for the Disney College Program to largish campuses and have regional auditions for people who want to do Entertainment in DCP. For any of the skill-based positions like food prep or BBB or Photopass you need to have some kind of background in that skill, but if you don't really care and just want to work at Disney for a semester they just give you a personality-based interview.

On the form you check off like 3 or 5 jobs that you're interested in. I actually had custodial on there because as gross as it is, it sounded interesting. I actually "failed" the interview for custodial because I didn't know that if a kid drops an ice cream in front of you, you're allowed to give them a voucher to get a new one.

>mfw when I said I'd give the kid some napkins.

Cindy FINALLY has ears!!

>She unleashed the beast
>Made the beast with two backs
>Rode the beast
>Tamed the beast

There were so many terrible innuendos you could have made right there.
