Am I the only one who dislikes how she does her makeup?
It's too cakey for Merida. And when I met her, I was kind of upset about it.

Merida looks really natural, and young.


FUCKING CAPTCHA.

>>6837736
You're not the only one. Merida is young and fresh faced. Just some mascara and blush is okay. I dont get making her look like she's in her late 20s

>>6837736
I hate her makeup too. She looks older than the mother. If Disney wants their face characters to wear so much makeup they should hire Traci Hines.

vintage Cinderella

>>6837751
Oh thank god. I was afraid I was being overly critical because Merida is my favorite princess.

>>6837736
Have you seen that "don't change Merida" petition running around online? I guess they're trying to make her look more painted up like the other princesses. I agree the makeup is terrible. I wish they would use some foundation, blush and maybe some eyeliner/mascara. That's it. This looks terrible. Especially dem eyebrows.

>>6837775
Yeah. :/ They made her thinner and curvier.

I love how she looked before. She ha big bright eyes, and was a bit more pear shaped than other princesses. I feel she was more relatable before.

>>6837782
WERE IS JASMINE?! She's the best princess!

>>6837791
I'm guessing they didn't have a brown friend and refused to cross races.

Ping is the best. God I wish Ping was around all the time.

HOLY SHIT A FACE CHARACTER HOOK!?

This is from France, isn't it? I've been dying for a face character Hook since Fantasmic!

Here's some vintage Mulan, excuse my awkward young self.

>>6837939
Were they the kind of parents that took you as a baby? It's not like you're going to remember the experience or anything.

>>6837949
could have been older kids with 'em, who knows

>>6837942
I was in park last summer in Florida, they're building a whole new section of park devoted entirely to the princess's

>>6837951
True, It's just I was in park last year and I saw a TON of parents with a couple babies and no older kids, kinda crazy.

>>6837939
what a great wig!

>>6837949
So? Babies benefit from social experiences. Or did your parents just keep you in a seat at home 24/7 because you won't remember anything anyway?

>>6837955
I dunno what my parents did, When I was 5 I went to Disney for the first time however.

>>6837949
My first memory was a trip my family and I took to Disneyland. Even if your baby or toddler won't remember it, you as a parent will.

...that is one flat-chested Ariel.

This Prince Eric had way too many snacks.

circa 2004 WDW

>>6837973
I've never been to Disneyland, but I've been to Disneyworld.

So I don't know how to compare the two.

Disneyworld is pretty huge, and fuck yes wild kingdom.

dang they didn't even try to tan up this Jasmine

>>6836842

... omg she's the best.

Where would Ping be generally so I can stalk her?

>>6837846

... omg she's the best.

Where is Ping generally?

>>6837983
You are confused. Ping is a man.

But he is gone, he was only here for Long Lost Friends week.

>>6837987

You are right. It is morning and I am barely awake.

Thanks anyway. Too bad he isn't there anymore. Oh well.

>>6837971
sorry bout that.

>>6837980

All I know is we have an Indiana Jones ride which is probably one of my favorites in the park

>>6837999
Face character Disney thread, not cosplay Disney thread.

>>6838006
fuck off. 2 out of the 15 I've posted, and that one you can't say that isn't a Disney headshot.

I'm really glad I was able to meet Spieling Peter before he left.

>>6838012
It's not a face character.

>>6838013
same here! too bad he and his wife went to work for She Who Shall Not Be Named

I love cast member shenanigan photos

>>6838017
I'm guessing they miss the magic of being characters. He was a swell guy. I asked him where Wendy was (he was out by himself) and he said they were racing and he must of left her in Neverland. He hoped that she would make her way back to Disneyland and not Walt DisneyWorld.

>>6838026
If it was a company head by a non-crazy person, it might not be so bad. But... Them...

At least they will be one of the few people in that company that know how to make everything about the kids and not themselves.

One time I went to Disneyland and I was in line to get a picture with the Evil Queen. This little girl was in front of me had princess autograph book. The Evil Queen asks the little girl who her favorite princess was, the little girl responses with, "Ariel." The Evil Queen then crosses Ariel out from the little girl's book with a giant X and tells her, "Oh Ariel? That overgrown fish!"

>>6838034
>The Evil Queen then crosses Ariel out from the little girl's book with a giant X

oh god if I was a child and she did that I'd start bawling

also this Cruella looks like my crazy neighbor

I wonder what the Ariel redesign will be like. Someone who supposedly works for Disney says that the design shown in the resdesign concept photo that floated around is like 99% different. We'll see...

>>6838041
I remember the little girl was really confused and took her picture and walked away with her family. It was hilarious because the Evil Queen did not give a fuck.

Another time I saw her walking through Fantasyland, so I walked right behind her. She turned, waved her finger in a "Follow me/come here now" fashion to my brother and I. We followed her and when this dad asked if he could take a picture with her she said, "I asked THEM (referring to me and my bro), not YOU." Each time I've meet the Evil Queen she's done something pretty hilarious.

so the WDW Gaston(s) are perfect

>>6838052
she's a maniac, maniac on the (ocean) floor!

>>6838053
What I'd give to have Gaston here at Disneyland. He's amazing!

“I hate books, but I’ll make an exception.”

>>6838061
I'm legit surprised Disney is allowing them to be blatant flirts

>>6838062
No one gets away with flirting like Gaston

>>6838062
>>6838065
>>6838061


ok this right here is fun. Thanks for sharing.

>>6838065
Story from Tumblr:

So Wishes starts right, and I’m into it enjoying it like always. When randomly, Gaston comes out. Now, I dunno if this has become a usual thing, but I’ve never seen him out during the fireworks before, so in my head I was like, ” oh that’s different.” Then I went back to Wishes.

Well, a few minutes later, Gaston comes up beside me and starts up a conversation. This is how it went.

GASTON: “You like fireworks?”

ME: “Of course! Wishes is like my favorite thing to see here.”

GASTON: “Oh really? Do you find them…romantic?”

ME: “umm….Sure I guess?”

GASTON: “Good. I put these together for Belle. I’m sure to win her over with this time.”

ME: “Well, how can you be so sure she’ll see them?”

GASTON: “What do you mean?”

ME: “I’m pretty sure she’s getting ready for a really fancy evening with The Beast in that castle over there.”

GASTON: *flustered* “Wha……what do you mean? Are you sure?”
ME: “Pretty sure.”

GASTON: “Where’s an angry mob when you need them?”

>>6838061
THAT FUCKING SMILE
So perfect.

oh god, now you've all instilled in me a need to flirt with gaston.

>>6838079
you should wear an antler headband and see what he does

would he

would he use you in all of his decorating?

When we were in disneyland paris a few years ago we saw a Gaston and he was flirting with my mom. We saw him on serveral occasions and it was so funny. He'd be all like, wriggling eyebrows and winking at her, it was hilarious.
My bestie and I wanted to take a picture with Hook when we saw him but he kept running away, lol and Jafar was super intimidating and kept suddenly turning around and having a stare off with us. I love these guys.

>>6838088
i like you

>>6838094

>>6837973
you and i are opposites. i've never been to land but i've been to world many times because i live in FL. it's huge and amazing. we also have epcot, animal kingdom and hollywood studios. magic kingdom and epcot are by far the best, not a huge fan of hollywood studios, except for the Fantasmic show.

>>6838088
What I'd give to live near WDW to try this out.

>>6838103
Is the girl Disneybounding or a character host?

there was a costume character guy that worked as goofy who posted on /r9k/ a few years ago with a series of Q&A threads and he said like all of the characters especially the hot princesses/other face characters fucked each other on the regular. at least at anaheim disneyland where he worked

>>6838103

wow that is a handsome Gaston. Jeebus.

>>6838113
I'm not surprised thats usually how it goes in theater with actors, too

I want to be a face character so bad. I fit all the requirements for the regular princesses (but I'd totally wouldn't mind doing other characters), but I live in stupid Norway so that's never going to happen. Plus I'm turning 25 soon, so I'm too old.

>>6838380
When I worked in costuming with the face characters at WDW for the short time I was there, you not only have to have the right fit requirements, but very specific facial features that match the main face character in the promotional advertizements, that way when a guest goes to the parks, they can never tell the difference between the princesses if they meet them separate times. That's why a lot of the princesses aren't super pretty-- they care more about those specific facial features than actually getting pretty princesses. There was one Rapunzel that we called "THAT Rapunzel" because she was so ugly. She was also really ditzy, so that didn't help either.

This is only the case with the US, though -- apparently in Japan and China they don't care as much.

>>6838407
I have a fairly generic face, so I'd like to think I'd have a chance if I actually had the opportunity, but alas! What's the age cutoff for princesses?

It would so cool to be a face character at Tokyo Disneyland or Sea though, that'd be the dream!

>>6838113
I miss goofy and his threads. I loved all the pics he would post, that one room with the rows and rows of mickey heads was my favourite.

I've worked character entertainment at MK (and EPCOT and AK, never HS though) for 3 years now, I wouldn't mind answering some questions if anyone had them. I can't post "proof" of me working there or anything because I still do and Im paranoid of the disney police lol. Just thought Id offer!

Also those Gaston gifs are the best, thanks for them anon!

>>6838501
I once worked with a girl who was 30 or so. As long as you LOOK the right age, that is all that matters

>>6838380
>>6838501

THIS. I'm from Holland and it's been my dream to become a disney face character so bad. I've decided I really want to try do this. But Disneyland Paris is the nearest and is 7 hours driving from where I live. And I can't speak French very well.

Does someone know what the requirements are for becoming a face character? What is the age/length/weight standard? What kind of people are they looking for? (I wonder if some face characters browse /cgl/, I'm really curious about working as a face character)

last year my sister and i were visiting disney world for the first time and we both really wanted to see peter pan

we found him on our last day in the parks and he didn't want to give us hugs because girls are gross

it was great

>>6838598
I can't speak for Paris, but typically heights range by character. For example most pixies like Tink are 4'11"- 5'2", Alice and Wendy from 5'2"-5'4", and princesses from 5'4"-5'7". Im on the taller side but I have done most princesses and one pixie. Age like I said doesn't have a limit, as long as you look the age of the character which can range from 14-20. Weight there also is a specific one, you must just be a healthy weight, average really. Not too skinny/muscular and not too chubby.

>>6838606

Did you have to audition? How was that?

>>6838608
Oh of course! I was hired when I was sixteen, but I was home schooled at the time and thats why. Honestly (and this is for WDW only) they only hire characters for fulltime. Ive never met anyone that worked character entrtainment part time so you pretty much have to have a free schedule all the time, and that plays into a lot at the auditions if they will put you through to the next round or not.

I auditioned twice before I was hired, first I did the face only audition and I made it to the "final round" but didnt get hired, I tried again soon after with a general entertainment audition (dance, parade, etc) and was cast into characters. Its nerve wracking and you never know REALLY what they are looking for so its hard to give advice. I can "break down" the auditions if you want though?

>>6838606
Thank you. I'm a bit small, 1,58 m so just a bit more than 5'2''. Is breast size a problem? I have D cups and I wondered if that would be a problem with fitting into costumes and modesty.
What do you have to do as a face character? is it just walking around the park the whole day meeting kids or do you also do shows and parades? Do you always dress up as one character or do you switch with other actors as well? How is it to work there? Sorry if I'm a bit too excited, I'just curious because it seems as such a special job.

>>6838618
what are face characters like outside of their working hours? are they really enthusiastic about their jobs? do they enjoy interacting with adults as much as they do children?

>>6838618

Did you have to travel far for the audition?

Could you break down the audition process for me?

All these face character interaction stories and no Spiderman-chan? Spider-chan?

>>6838645
>Disney
>Spiderman

>>6838653
Disney bought Marvel you stupid fuck.

>>6838622
Actually yeah, being that height with that size breast might be an issue though dont take my word for it. You'd prolly be okay in Alice or Wendy, but Tink and the other pixies might be an issue since they dont cover as much.

Job wise we are usually assigned to an area or meeting spot and do 45minute-1 hour sets meeting and greeting. you have to do a different class/audition ONCE you are hired to do parades and shows. Also if you do face you WILL do suit characters as well! A lot of people hate that, and dont want the less glamorous job and lets just say they dont last long lol.

>>6838626
Most face girls are the sweetest people. They love disney and their jobs and just are really geniune. The bitchy ones never last long. I know I personally love interacting with adults! Adults who are excited are the best, and its fun to joke around and have convos with people who "understand" you. Most kids you could say gibberish and they would just nod or keep telling you about how you're on their underwear and sheets and soap and toothbrush etc etc!

>>6838633
I live close to WDW and the auditions are within that general area so not really! Ill break it down for you in a seperate post. Are you interested in the general entertainment or just face? Or both? lol

>>6838645
>>6838659
Chill. Spiderman doesnt meet AT disney nor would he be a face character. Nor do I see him or any other marvel character being in the parks in the foreseeable future. Go to universal for him.

who are your favorite face character photographers?

I like all the detail shots Jubilant Jane does: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25548961@N08/

>>6838659
And yet, he's still not a Disney face character! <3

>>6838664
>>6838666
I don't think any of you saw the post where the girl interacted with a Spiderman face character that was reposted in two past Disney threads. It was a real tearjerker, but I won't post it since it's not welcome here. Excuse me for pointing out that Disney bought Marvel.

>>6838671
Anon, don't be so pressed. I saw that story and I cried over it, but they only want Disney princesses here in this thread, so let it go.

>>6838671
No, excuse you for calling someone a "stupid fuck" because someone pointed out that Spiderman is not a Disney face character.

>>6838660

both, please

(pic related, Belle cosplay I did a few months ago xP)

>>6838675
don't be such a GIles Corey

>>6838633
Okay so auditions. I will start for if you go to the ones that are focused on face only. Disclaimer, this is just for WDW, Im not sure how the other parks do things. Bascially, you check in and they take your height, give you a number, and then you wait in a parade rehersal room until your group is called. Usually you're called in in groups of 50 but that can change depending on how many people show up. You then stand in lines of 10 and they play some disney background music. The casting directors study your line and your faces, and after all 5 lines are called they will call out the numbers (if any) of people they want to stay. You then sit and wait until all groups have gone, and then the people called go back in. From there they'll have you fill out some paperwork, take a polaroid, and then they will have you in lines again and talk to you one on one. They'll study your face closer here, and ask you some questions about your experience in entertainment and school schedule (if any). From there if you fit the face requirements, and their hiring requirements, you will try on wig/makeup/costume and take pictures as that character and preform a monolouge. And then its the waiting game to see if they will call you back!

General entertainment auditions are about the same, at least for the last part. The first part is different in that you learn an across the floor routine and then do some pantomiming if you pass the parade routine. If you pass the parade routine and the pantomime, then you go to the hair and make up.

Like I said, I cant speak for other parks or if it has changed since then but thats what Ive experienced and Ive heard its still pretty close to the same.

>>6838677
that is hideous.

>>6838676
They didn't say Spiderman wasn't a Disney face character. They said
>Disney
>Spiderman

>>6838675
You're right. I'll just go read it myself. I was just surprised because it was very welcome when the girl originally posted it, and when someone reposted it in another thread everyone bawled over it then.

Guess I'll wait for a /co/splay thread.

>>6838671
Ive read that, it was a tear jerking. I have nothing against marvel or the universal employees that portray them but I think this thread is more about disney (as in the theme parks) face characters, not disney as the company. The stupid fuck was a bit unnecessary too.

>>6838677
Posted! Sorry it took me a bit, and if they're not that great. If you have any questions or if I didn't explain something well please let me know! Love how you did the sleeves/top of your dress!

best cinderella?

best cinderella.

>>6837980
Disneyland the the original and best Haunted Mansion ride.

>>6838690
Spiderman still isn't Disney, though. It's Marvel. Just because The Walt Disney parent company owns something doesn't make everything related to that something "Disney." Not to mention that the Spiderman story is about a non-official actor hired for a toy store... you wouldn't post Traci Hines or party princesses in a Disney face character thread just because they happened to be paid by someone.

In any case, it's painfully obvious that this thread is about Disney face characters--as in official face characters from the parks and other official capacities. Not about "oh hey TWDC happens to own this property so it's related!" You wouldn't post a Lifetime movie character in this thread just because The Walt Disney Company owns the ABC TV group. So getting your panties in a wad because someone points out that Spiderman is not a Disney character--and he's not--is pointless.

>>6838690
...I want to read it.

>>6838710
Read this >>6838711
and go find it in the archives. Stop derailing this thread with your stupid Spiderman shit.

>>6838679

About how many girls auditioned, and how many made it to each round?

>>6838693
this used to be my fav Cinderella (pic related, I mean) but she started using so much makeup when she works that it got kinda creepy

>>6838712
This thumbnail frightens me now when anon pointed out how creepy Snow White looks.

>>6838711
Couldnt of said it any better!

poof

Have to go to class, no time to dump my ariel folder

>>6838702
>*has the
whoops, changed my sentence at the last minute and ended up with derp

>>6838660
Do you think it'll be a sollution to bind or wear minimizing bra's? I hope they won't really mind.
I wouldn't really mind having to wear a mascot suit, it's really cute how kids love them and it seems fun. (but less in summer I think..)

Could you share some experiences with us? any funny/cute stories?

>>6838719
it's the white eyeliner line that does it in for me...

>>6838690
I was in those last threads and it did get a good reception there. I can understand why you would think to bring it up again, but I think it did well because those threads started focusing on interactions between face characters and kids. /cgl/ is fickle, though. Don't be upset, just wait for a /co/splay thread like you said.

>>6838713
Ive seen as few as 150-200 and up too 400-450 at another. 150 was face only, 400 the general entertainment which makes sense. In my group only 3 were chosen, and by the time the last group went there was only about 15 of us. There was more in the general entertainment that made it through, but then we were seperated into groups like character (about 20), parade (maybe 35) and pupeteers (I think, im not sure, and there was about 15 of them)

>>6838728
Wearing a minimizing bra will help. Im not that height, so im not an expert in those characters but I have worked as one of tink's friends (meaning I worked alongside a tinkerbell) and she was maybe a b cup max, but she also wears a more revealing costume. We also do not wear our own bras with the costumes, most are built in so theres that too. I have a friend who is a manager...Ill have to ask her about that. Its not something Ive ever really given much thought too and now Im curious!
Suits are so much fun, and while they get hot, I really enjoy doing them. Most of my funny stories come from those roles...like a parent asking my friend Rafiki if he could hold their infant over his head like simba!!

Once my friend Snow White had a little girl run up to her and go "Look Snow, You're on my underwear!" and turn around and pull up her dress so Snow could see....that was an experience! There of course is the touching stories too, like an older woman who had been waiting her whole life to go to Magic Kingdom but couldnt with her kids due to money, and her grandkids due to her having cancer. She finally made it out here, still very sick, and being the last person in line my friend Mary Poppins got to have a very long and beautiful conversation with her. She started crying because it was everything she hoped for and more, and Mary Poppins was her favorite movie, and she was so beside herself to finally meet her. I never wanted to let go of that hug and I just dont have the right words for how touching it was.

>>6837980
They are super different! I grew up in FL going to WDW (even honeymooned there!) but I live in CA now and have been to DL. It's the original, and it's very small in square feet, but has SO much stuff for the size!
First off, there is almost no transition between the sections of the park, your passing small world, then bam- toon town. The park also very clearly dead ends, where as WDW loops you around. DL also has a lot of original rides that WDW has replaced, like Mr. Toad. There is a train that loops the park, and the monorail is more of a ride than functioning transport.
One of my favorite sections of Disneyland is the little New Orleans- lots of cute shops, and the BEST food!
I'm really looking forward to visiting DL again, it's very cozy!

>>6838767

This is why I want to become a Disney character! Holy crap what an experience that must be! It just sounds so amazing, so much fun, so touching, everything! And I'd totally be game for fur, even though (naturally) I'd prefer to do face. I think I could suit Aurora or Belle the best, but I'm very pale so I'm not sure. I'm 5'7'', and size 8ish, and look in my early 20s (which I am).

Do they have foreigners audition? I mean, if I (somehow) got the chance to go to like Paris or Florida, would it matter that I only speak English (with a British accent no less)? How do you become a face character in like Tokyo? Does everybody do their own makeup? Do you live in dormitories? I mean, do you have to like "abandon" your old life to do it, or do you just do it for a few months at a time? I really want to maybe at least TRY, but not living close makes it a bit hard to uproot my whole life, even though it's my dream.

>>6838831
It really is an experience, I love it! Face and Fur are both great, and both rewarding and challenging in different ways. Im very pale as well, but Ive been friends with Aurora. Belle is typically more tan though.
I cant speak for Paris but here in FL you only need to speak English and honestly are expected to only speak that. Maybe a french phrase here or there for Belle, but Snow speaking Spanish would obviously not work haha. You would need to not have an accent though. Poppins and Alice are the only ones with Brittish accents but theyre also more of side characters so you wouldnt be doing them all the time. I know I took classes on british accents and my friend scottish for Merida but you have to be able to turn it on and off.
Face characters for HK and tokyo usually audition in european countries, CA or FL. It changes from time to time so the best thing to do would be just to keep checking their website for that. Yes, we all do our own make up. Only the college program lives in assigned apartments, regular employees (including entertainment) live in their own apartments and homes. You could do it for only a few months but youd have to quit. Like I said earlier we're typically only hired full time. It takes up a lot of your time and it is a huge commitment. Being forgeign you would have to move to where you working be it FL or CA. I havent abandoned my life at all, its a job in the end of things. Yeah Im busy but we do have days off and I do find time to do conventions and such. I dont think its really different than any other full time job when it comes to abandoning your life or not haha....though I do know girls who have dropped everything and just moved to FL to work not knowing if they had the job for sure or not. I wouldnt suggest that though...only one did get the job and her two friends are now working attractions.

>>6838851
Thank you! I could probably turn the British off, if I practised a bit. I might have to look into when/where auditions are actually held, and maybe go for it! I mean, if I get it it would totally be worth moving, and if I don't, then at least I'd get a cool holiday out of it! Is there a chance to get help finding apartments etc? I guess for me it'd be easiest to try out for Paris! I normally work as a freelance designer anyways, so the only thing that really ties me down is my fiancé, but perhaps I could convince him to move abroad for a year or two!

No Pocahontas? :C She's my favorite!

>>6838851
Are the characters in overseas parks expected to know more languages?

>>6838868
I definetly say go for it! Even if things dont go the way you want, its definetly a great experience! Im sure they could point you to affordable apartments close by (like the DCP ones) everyone at disney is honestly so helpful and nice, im pretty sure they would help you figure something out! Best of luck!!!

>>6838880
This Im not sure about. I think in Paris they are, but I worked with a girl who transfered to HK for a year and she didnt know anything but English. I think HK and Tokyo theyll teach you simple Japanese or Chinese so you can get around on your days off, but I dont think theyre expected to be fluent or able to carry a convo at all. Ive honestly always have been curious about how that works too, like if the princesses have a translator or something! Thats another thing Ill have to ask around about!

>>6838690
the only reason people reacted negatively to you is that you started cursing them out with no provocation and then started whining about it. if you had just posted your story nobody would have cared. we're not ~exiling~ you, you're just rude.

>>6837802
Imagine wearing that in Florida. Oh, my gosh. I really like that, though.

I've never been to a Disney theme part

I miss Disney World so much. I went for my Honeymoon in January and just had the best time. The face characters were all so awesome.

When I met Snow White my first day there, I was wearing one of the Kumacraft Sailor Moon necklaces. She looked at it, looked at me, and then went, "You must like Bunnies!"

I was so bowled over with the whole experience that I didn't get the joke at first, but five minutes after I walked away from the meeting area, I couldn't stop laughing.

Snow White is awesome.

>>6838890
NO DON'T ENCOURAGE HER.

We don't want any stupid Spiderman story ITT, keep it out! It has nothing to do with Disney or face characters.

AND YOU. She dropped it and left so maybe the rest of you could stop derailing?

GODDAMMIT JUST POST MORE DISNEY.

>>6838910
M-me too anon.

Now I'm almost 21 I fear I've missed my time. Hopefully if I have children one day I can go and see them enjoy themselves.

>>6838979

Man, Disney World is way more fun as an adult and without kids. Go for it!

>>6838979
Dude. First went to Disney when I was 23. Twenty-three. I had an absolute blast. The second time was even better because we stayed at the art of animation resort, which was ballin. Went on ALL THE RIDES

>>6838979
>M-me

>>6838042
Wow, this is the first half-decent looking Aladdin face I've seen. The wig doesn't look completely absurd on him like it usually does.

>>6839040

STOP POSTING COSPLAY

I've never seen any Belle face characters I liked. They always look like pageant queens and the hairstyle is kind of strange in real life.

I've only been to Disneyland once when I was 8. I barely remember it. I honestly feel like I would enjoy it more as an adult. I especially wanna go during Halloween so I can meet Jack and Sally.

>>6839072

To be fair, Belle's wig isn't done right. For some reason they give her this really weird topknot instead of sweeping the hair back into a very loose loop/bun at the back of her hair like it should be.

>>6839080
Jack and Sally are creepy as fuck irl. They give Jack a rubber head that a. smells and b. is cut out around the mouth, where the rubber moves/hangs around his mouth and the white makeup looks terrible. The guys they have doing it sort of overdo the voice, but I guess Jack sometimes sounds like that.
Anyway, it's mostly creepy and bad.

>>6839080
for reference.

>>6839106
Eww, that doesn't look like them at all. Cosplayers definitely have done it better.

>>6839121
yeah, the make up isn't even touching the top of sally's fucking hairline

>>6839092
I don't care much for the mask either but I still think it would be cool to meet them since they're my favorite disney characters. I'll just have to have the experience and judge for myself.

>>6839121
I think in general cosplayers do it better than the face characters cuz they take more time to get every detail right. I'm disappointed in the costumes I see at Disney most of the time.

>>6839106
why are jack's hands small? they're freaking huge and long

the only Pocahontas I've liked, back when she had an animal show. Pocahontas usually looks like a creepy pageant queen most of the time.

>>6839201
I love this so much.

>a girl at the Long Lost Friends meet & greet was scared of Governor Ratcliffe so he hid near the bushes while John Smith kept guard

>>6839208
I don't think it's possible to feel any other way

>>6839201
I think most of the princesses end up looking like pageant queens because of the wigs and giant shit-eating grins.
That's a cute Pocahontas though, she looks more youthful and girlish than the usual ones.

>>6839213
The fact that it's an animal show...omg. Disney, why don't you do this more?

>>6839220
part of it is the make-up, I think. Granted not every face character slathers on the the eyeliner & shadow but sometimes they do and it ages them...

>>6839201
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV-_8218ctc

I miss it

>>6839209
HNNNG TOO MANY FEELS FOR THIS

>>6839270
That was awesome and now I feel the need to watch Pocahontas on Netflix

>>6839201
>>6839213
>>6839239
ok now that's just lazy, could they really not be bothered to make the tattoo go all the way around the arm? I get it's a stencil and it has to go on quick, but come on, it's not that hard.

>>6839209
Yo when I went to Disneyland as a 4 year old Ratcliffe scared the shit out of me. To be fair so did Minnie Mouse

>>6839340
Maybe they didn't want the part on the inside of her arm to get smudged or rub off on her costume.

>>6839364
It's okay anon. I was scared of Tigger, but my parents still made me take the picture with him. That's when I realized they're not out to hurt me.

>>6839270
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV-_8218ctc

I legitimately teared up

I have such a soft spot for Disney face characters, it's unbelievable

From what I understand, the princesses have to be slathered in makeup so they won't look washed out and bad in flash photos even though it looks awful in person.

Man, where did Snow go?

>>6839513

I lied. I just finished the video and I cried like a bitch

fuck it, I'm cosplaying Pocahontas

I've only ever been to Disney once in my life. For my hs senior trip we went to Disney World, and it was probably the best week in my entire life.
Also, it didn't hurt the fact that my 18th birthday happened while we were there.
But up until that point, one of my life goals was meeting and getting a picture with Aladdin. It was my favorite movie growing up and all I wanted for the longest time was to go to Disney, and get a picture with him.
So we find him in Epcott on the day of my 18th birthday, and Jasmine's with him! Holy crap I was so excited, but felt kind of odd waiting in a line full of children, but when I got to the front for a picture they were so nice to me and I was practically in tears.
And right when they were going to snap the picture, this ugly, stupid landwhale bitch from my year jumps into the photo from out of no where, glomps Aladdin, is just OMG ANON LETS GET A PICTURE TOGETHER!!!!!!!!
I was so devastated I just stood there in shock, and the Jasmine was a total bro and gave this girl a dirty look and said "I feel for you" while patting me on the back.

Sorry for the random story, I thought it was thread appropriate?

>>6838113
Apparently this happened on and off and WDW too, a friend who was Aladdin there said that he could hit up the princes and they'd give it up real fast. Then again, he was stupidly attractive, so maybe it was a fluke.

>>6839540
Hey there, yes we do have to put on that make up. Don't blame us, it's what were told to do, and it is because in 90% of pictures (and when on stage/parades) it just looks better. Now were seeing more people with more professional cameras in the park and that's where the heaviness of the make up really shows.

I'm sorry, I'm at work and mobile is slow. I'll be on later tonight though.

>>6839140
Gotta disagree with the other anon, i LOVE Jack and sally and go visit every Halloween to meet them. The Jack is a bit over the top, but he stays fantastically in character and is a lot of fun to interact with. Sally is pretty quiet but once you engage her she's adorable - I even got her to sing with me once!

>>6839591
I guess I'm late to this, but Snow you work at Disneyland as a character?

>>6839605
Yes I do! Disney world though, mostly MK and Epcot, though technically I have worked all four parks. Employee for three years going on four :)

>>6839649
>MK and Epcot

do you have any idea who this snow white is?

>>6839660
That picture is pretty dark and hard to see on my phone but I do think I know her! Shes been there longer than me, and I've worked alongside her before, a real sweetheart!

>>6839239
da fuq is up with the red lipstick??

>>6839649
Oh cool. Is there a previous archived thread where you answered questions before? I have so many questions to ask but I have a feeling you've probably gotten/answered most of them before

>>6839692
I've answered a few questions in this thread actually, it's the first one I've posted with a trip at least. Mostly stuff about auditions and what they "look for" but by all means ask away! I don't mind at all, as long as you don't mind my replies being slow haha!

>>6839696
Awesome.
Well I guess you asked for it:

>What characters have you portrayed? Which is your favorite? Why?
>How are the other face characters actors out of character?
>Pros/Cons of the job?
>Any good/cute or even bad kid experiences?
>Any general memorable moments?

>>6839705
Haha, here we go!
I've been friends with Aurora, Snow, Mary Poppins, Jane, Vidia, and Cinderella! I quite like Mary Poppins because she attracts an older crowd and was one of my favorite movies growing up as well! She's different than typical face characters and I love the change. I've done a lot of suits too!

The other girls are just excellent out of character! I've made some of the best friends through this. The bitchy or snobbish ones are a pain but I've also noticed that they don't last that long.

Pros and cons. Pros: free entry into the parks, discount on stuff in the parks, doing a job I love, meeting great people, performing for a living, working for a great company. Cons would be long hours, the heat, the occasional terrible guest, people having a distorted perception of what you're like "out of character"

Ahhh kid experiences. 90% of the kids are super cute and sweet or just terrified/star struck. There's a 10% that's stressful, the ones who try to wipe boogers on you, show you their underwear, pull your "hair" ect.. Really just kid stuff, but in character it can be hard to wiggle out of that interaction. Of course there are brats but the really bad ones our handlers will usually step in and control more firmly since they don't have a character to stay in. Most of bad experience come from asshole teenagers trying to unzip your costumes or grab your ass. Or drunk parents. Suits tend to attract jerks too.

Memorable moments.. The one with the older lady when I was friends with Poppins is my favorite. I posted it a bit earlier in the thread! Grandmas are the cutest though.

>>6839696
Hi Snow, I have been enjoying reading your replies. Do you go to the park on your days off, or has working as a face kind of ruined the whole Disney experience for you? Do you find yourself thinking more about how all the magic happens and less about the magic?

>>6839767
Hi there! Thank you! It hasnt ruined it for me at all! Some days I like to just rest but a lot of the time I do enjoy roaming the park! If my friends are working I like to wait and line and have fun with them because you never know if they're having a bad shift or not! Yeah I know how a lot of the magic happens, but it's helped me appreciate all the tiny details so much more, and also all the hardwork everyone puts into it every day to keep it Alive!

>>6839696
I have a few questions...
More than a few

>I'm 5'9", basic 'pretty' Caucasian features, size 8, but I have acne scarring. Do i stand a chance?
>How much does personality factor into the hiring process? Do they see how you interact with kids as part of it too?
>Are parents hard to deal with sometimes?
>Community underwear, roving wild packs of cats, club 33 and other rumors true or false?
>Do the amount of auditioners go up in the summer? Are they more likely to hire you if you can go full time for more than one season?
>How are the people on the college program treated compared to some of the full time members? How does one apply for that?

>>6839777
Do they consider other skills, like singing or playing the mandolin, when you audition?

>>6839777
Hello Snow! Thank you very much for answering all of these questions, however. When you say you've "Been friends with..." Does that mean that you've portrayed that character? I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused.

>>6839809
5'9" is a little bit tall, your acting/dancing/moving skills would have to be pretty spot on. By no means does it mean you wont be hired (Im honestly a bit tall too) it just limits who you can do. Size is hard...like its not about the number but how you "look". Kinda like how some size 6-8s look "plus sized" some dont. I know usually for your/our height though, size 6-8 look healthy and natural on us so I wouldnt worry about that. If the scarring can be covered up by stage make up, it shouldnt matter.
Personality affects it a lot I think. Once you make it past the type casting they talk to you, and Ive learned that they look for how you talk/what you say a lot. Like how personable you are. They do watch how you interact with other people auditioning secretly too. If you're snobby and not friendly, they will consider that strongly. Ive seen a lot of 16-17 year olds show up with the whole "everyone at school thinks Im pretty im a PERFECT princess" and they never make it because no matter how fake they are to the directors, they see their true attitudes in casual interaction when they think no one is watching.
Parents usually will be harder than kids. Some parents are perverted which is a challenge, some are grumpy and bitchy, and some are entitled. Usually the handlers will engage them so we can focus on the kids which is nice.
Haha! I love questions like this! Community underwear USED to be true yeaaaaaars ago! it isnt anymore, though as I mentioned most of our bras for face characters are built in and while our costumes are SUPER clean some people are weirded out about that lol. The cats are true in CA I think, though theres not that many and they only come out at night! Club 33 is true to! Ask me more about urban legends, I love them haha!
Yes they do. Thats where all the 16-17 "preppy" girls come out. Volume does increase for sure. And if you SAY at the audition you will only work a season I can promise you wont be hired. Ill continue this in part 2

>>6839809
>>6839858
Anyways DCP provides a lot of the "seasonal" roles. They want full commitments when they are hiring for characters. Too many people are trained and then quit when they realize how much work and commitment is involved and it has become quite the problem.
DCP is hit or miss. Usually when I work with another girl and I think they have a bad attitude...they're DCP. Idk they just have a different mentality or something. I hate to enforce the steryotype of regular CMs not liking DCP but I havent had the best of experiences with them...though of course some have been lovely! I cant help much with DCP, I dont know a lot about it at all. Im sure you could research it though and find out more about the application process, especially when it comes to entertainment position, Ive heard of forums dedicated to it. Checking the audition website too wouldnt hurt, sometime DCP only auditions are listed.

Sorry that was so much, I hope I answered your questions well enough! Let me know if not! :)

>>6839866

Different Anon, but, I don't suppose you are a certain friend of this Snow White I mentioned in >>6838956 ?

>>6839816
Nope! Dancing/movement is considered for sure. You dont always learn a dance combo but if you do its sooooo simple. Movement is to see if you could do well in suits. If they think you couldnt do suits, they wont hire you for face.
They do have seperate auditions for character roles that require a lot of dance skill like shows, or singing roles in shows too. They are not as commonly listed, but they do come up!

>>6839824
No problem! As weird as it sounds I cant talk about this kind of stuff to my friends because they either work at disney already or just dont care, haha! I love talking about the "behind the scenes" stuff! Yes! When anyone says they are friends with or hanging out with a character, that means they are/have portrayed them. We are not allowed to say that we ARE a character on like social media because it can ruin the illusion that we ARE the character, if you get what I mean. They just dont want kids seeing it or people that would loudly be like "Oh HEY anon" when you're in character and ruining it for kids. Another example would be even if Mickey were to appear in 3 different parts of MK or MK and Epcot at the same time, there is only ONE Mickey Mouse...he's just really good at changing fast ;)

>>6839881
Holy shit I totally missed that post! Ahhhh! My friend Snow White remembers that very well! Seeing little "geeky" things like that makes her day! Especially Sailor Moon stuff! Oh my god, what a small world!!!!

>>6839866
I knew a girl who auditioned through DCP and told everyone she was hired to play Ariel, when real facts they wanted her for a mascot character. She didn't last long. I totally hear you on the bad attitude part.

>>6839892

OH MY GOD IT'S YOU. I was so sad because I never saw that Snow White again during my entire trip. I always wanted you to know I got the joke AFTER I was done being starstruck. I talked to a certain Fairy Godmother in Training at BBB (the one who first recognized the necklace and told me to go see Snow White with it) and told her, "SNOW WHITE IS SNEAKY." I always wondered if she relayed the message.

>>6839892

Haha, it's crazy to think that there are characters who visit 4chan. I used to work at Disney, and I picked up shifts over at Magic Kingdom (lowly F&B cast member, here, picking up extra shifts in Magic Kingdom for dat 1 buck premium); I remember sitting around the cafeteria and seeing Cindarella, Snow White, and Belle just hanging out. Of course, my favorite experience was sitting during a 15-minute break outside with Peter Pan who was in the middle of his cigarette break.

I'd say that was the only thing that ever killed the magic for me, just a little.

>>6839894
Yeahhh that kind of shit happens all the time. People like that have the worst attitudes when it comes to suits because "ew hot and sweaty not a pretty pretty princess" but honestly I LOVE doing suits. Its a blast. I was/am sometimes friends with Pluto, Eeyore, and Rafiki a lot and they're the greastest. Pluto is my dawg *ba dum tish*

>>6839897
Oh man yeah. Im all over the place usually lol. Sometimes I work in MK then haul ass over to EPCOT for another shift or visa versa, I hate it because sometimes there is awesome people like you and I love seeing familar faces and repeat interactions. BUT Im really glad that we are talking now and that you didnt think I was weird/nuts and got it haha! Oh yeah Im pretty sure I know who you talked to and she is the best fairy godmother ever! I did get a text from her asking if I met with you...I have to text her and tell her whats going on now she'll get a kick out of it!

>>6839909
Haha, I dated a fellow princess before, and we were very careful about showing PDA even in the utiladors but once we snuck a peck and I remember this look on a Haunted Mansion host and it was just princeless. I love seeing characters making out in the locker rooms though. Horrible of me? Yes, but hilarious! That does kill the magic but when Im in the parks I tend to push that to the back of my mind lol

>>6839894
Are you the girl from the last thread who was posting about what a crazy liar she was?

>>6839921


Oh my, how lewd. (By Disney standards) It occurs to me how fortunate I was, sometimes, to be in Food and Beverage: Short of getting physical with a guest, I never had to worry about getting in trouble. You guys must be set to a completely different standard, since your face is the character.

I can't say I ever saw anything that hot and heavy, but I did catch a glimpse of Pluto and Donald in their sweaty, human glory in between photo sessions: If you're into that sort of thing, anyway.

>>6839915

I remember her too- she was really really sweet. I got a picture with her and the glass slipper I made later after I got a photopass card. I'm so sad I didn't get to have my picture taken with you cause we had JUST gotten there and had no clue about how Photopass worked and hadn't gotten a card yet- and also I was so excited over meeting my first princess that I just didn't care at the moment. You asked me what a cellphone was after the message-bird conversation and my brain just refused to work at all and I said something dumb because I literally could not the brain.

Hey, um, I hope this doesn't sound weird or anything, but would you like to exchange emails/skype/msn/aim or anything? I'd love to finally have someone to talk to about Disney World and stuff besides my husband. Nobody else I know really seems to care as much as I do.

>>6839929
Yeah as long as we behave on set, and dont post lewd stuff on FB they dont care what else we do. The manager I worked with a lot was super chill as long as you were good at your job and super fun off set and out of the parks. A lot of the characters inter-date its kinda super freaking weird. I dont even know. Haha we are SO scary in between sets, Im so sorry you had to see that haha!!

>>6839930
Awh yeah, photopass is great, Im sorry it wasnt explained to you sooner! You didnt say something dumb dont worry, the whole "what is technology" thing always throws people off haha! You were lovely though, and great people like you always make our sets awesome!

Sure! If you dont mind, if you add your email to your response Ill shoot you an email! I dont have skype or anything else lol, and dont want to post my own simply because Im still a little paranoid though I doubt my bosses browse cgl haha! I hope you dont mind that though!

>>6839949

The sad thing is that I was expecting the whole "What is technology?" It still didn't make it any less brainblocky when it hit me the first time though. Still not as bad as when I met the Beast though- he's my favourite character from anything ever, and I'd been waiting a LONG time to meet him at Disney. As soon as it was my turn to see him at BOG I pretty much just broke down completely from emotion/excitement overload, hyperventilating and sobbing. I think I scared the poor guy.

Email is in the email field. I understand completely- I've heard stories about how crazy they are about maintaining the illusion.

I am a female with a curvy long nose (kind of like a who). I've had artist tell me they would love to sketch my face because my nose is so interesting and unique. But do you think Disney would hire a big nosed girl like me?

>>6839949

I distinctly remember how dating in Disney was actually addressed during orientation. So many people work there, they admit it would be impossible to forbid workers from dating one another. I laughed at first, but I figured out how true it is.

I don't count college program, though -- let's be real, they're just guests who get paid to break their back for Disney and party hard. Some of the stories I've heard from those kids (Like... I didn't know fucking inside of someone's trunk was a thing, but it is).

>>6839959
No, even without the nose you ugly.

>>6839957
Awh its still okay! Secret time, sometimes Im still afraid IVE said something completely dumb (and a lot of the times I do haha). Seriously though as weird as it may sound we love reactions like that from adults, it reminds us that the magic is still there for older guests (than kids) and just is great. You prolly made Beast's day, that guy doesnt get enough love! I went to see one of my friends while I was still in training and I was so awkward meeting her and I felt so stupid because come on, I know the girl. Sigh. I was also so giddy and speechless meeting Gaston for the first time, thankfully his friends are some of the best improvers and actors I have EVER met! So yes, you're not alone!

Yeah Ive seen girls get away with their profile pictures on FB being them in character but Id never be that brave. I love my job and would hate to endanger it so blantly. Ill shoot you an email now! :)

>>6839963
Ugh DCP gives some of us the worst image. I mean yes they're college kids but they're my age or older and they just act so irresponsibly. Im not trying to come off holier than thou but when I dated "Tiana" we were as professional as possible. Like we ate lunch together and held hands in the ultiadors occasionally, and that one peck, but we kept all other things outside the parks completely. Yeah I remember it being addressed too and I was like "okay easy" but you spend so much time with the same people its kinda hard NOT to be interested in some.

>>6839959
Sadly, big defining features are hard to get hired with. Mostly because you wont look like the other girls who do the same character and that could ruin the illusion for kids. That doesnt mean you shouldnt try though because I by no means speak for disney casting or who they'd cast. Its cliche, but even if things dont turn out perfectly it really is a good experience.

>>6839967
do you get/like to keep the little presents guests give you or do you "re-gift" them to other kids during your set lol

>>6839975
haha it's cool. I actually love my nose. I deleted my post though because I didn't want to attention whore the thread. I think I could totally pull off Jane. But that's just one character xD Oh well I guess I'll just stick to modeling.

>>6839975

Well, that's the difference between someone who is there to work for Disney (You) and someone who's just working at Disney (them).


I think part of the problem is they think they're on vacation, until Disney starts giving them 50+ (I've seen as high as 70 in a poor girl from China I worked with, her name was Lily and she begged me to take some. ;_;) hours a week and start working them to the bone. Talking with them, a lot of them resent it, and so like typical kids... they lash out, in their own passive-aggressive way.

It sucks, but that's just my perspective on it. Still, I met a lot of cool kids from college program, and they're some of my fav memories from working there. I remember how me, and these two other CP used to sing Happy Birthday as a trio for random guests with whacky hats (I worked at Pizzafari, so our costumes were already very... "colorful"). We had a blast doin' it, too.

>>6839983
Ive heard of people regifting them, but I think thats kinda weird so I usually keep them haha! Usually its like drawings or letters so I like to keep those close to me. I love getting stuff though, one time the sweetest little girl gave me one of those braided friendship bracelets you make it like girlscouts and it made me want to cry she was so precious and so excited that she could tell all her friends that Snow White was her friend and she has the bracelet to prove it haha. I also always gave characters coloring pages/drawings when I was younger, so that may be why!

>>6839985
Hey, thats all that matters in the end! Glad to hear it and keep it up!

>>6839858
I'm a Disneyland CM who works a lot a night/early mornings, I can attest to the cats. There's actually quite a few of them, they travel around in groups and usually have their own areas they stick to. There aren't so many just after the park closes but around 2 or 3 am the park has cats traveling around all over the place

>>6839990
No, I totally agree with you. I hate to say negative stuff about them, because a lot of them are great and want to be there and work, sadly they just aren't the majority. It does totally suck, I would never do the DCP after seeing the shit hours they get and such. I mean Im not a huge fn of my hours either and during extended hours/special events like halloween and christmas I work WAY more than Id like. It is exhausting, and I do understand WHY they lash out...but at the same time thats why they get the bad reputation.

Ahhh good old Pizzafari! That sounds great though, and like I said some of them are the greatest. Ive noticed though the DCP kids Ive loved were all NOT in entertainment so that may have something to do with it. The DCP that work in entertainment are the ones that usually have the shit attitude I cant stand. Its a weird trend but Ive noticed they tend to have the "its all about me being the princess" and not the "its all about the guests meeting the princess" if that makes sense

>>6840000

The hours were pretty bad, no matter where you worked; But I remember MK got you a buck premium just for working there, just because of how busy you would be. The program really needs to be reinvented, because at the end of the day all those kid's care about are their assessments and whether or not their managers will pass them.

I get it: They want to be special and like attention. They aren't interested in how they make the guest feel, just how they feel when they get attention from guests (or cast members). I knew people like that even in F&B, one in particular stands out... regardless, people like that never last. All it takes is for them to cross one guest, and you suddenly have half the park managers down your throat, taking statements from half the crew.

Anyway, it's always cool talking to a crew member who even (slightly) shares some common ground with myself. Take it easy, Snow; If I ever don one of the big mouse's costumes again and I see a princess, I might take a step out of my lonely little routine ask them about "> that feel".

>>6840019
Yeah I totally agree. I feel bad for the good 75% of DCP they get a bad rep and bad hours. I think it should be reinvented because in theory it is a great program, just needs some fixing up.

Oh for sure. I remember one girl in particular when we were working a character breakfast was just a horrifying Belle. I dont know how true it is but apaprently a little girl was crying because Belle "didnt pay attention to her....even though they 'met' earlier that day" which as we know was a different girl but its a HUGE no no to just go "I dont remember you". I didnt see her again after that, I did hear she was transferred to attractions though.

Haha thanks! I love talking to fellow CMs too, past or present! One of my best friends Ive met through (traditions) is in housekeeping and though we dont share the same jobs or schedules we love going into the parks together! And if you ever do...please do!

Alright folks, Im heading off to bed! If this thread is still alive tomorrow, Ill be around! I leave you with a character who was out today at MK and is pretty rare...Mowgli! Wish I could of seen him and his funny body suit and jazz shoes!

>>6840068
And the award for worst official costume goes to----

>>6840070
Oh god I totally agree. Its cringe worthy. Tomorrow Ill have to post some particularly bad princesses designs/dresses (at least in my opinion). But yeah I get "why" its like that but it does not make it any better. Some where I do have a picture of a bare chested Mowgli from what looks like maybe a parade at AK...and its so much better. If I can find it Ill have to post it. Okay seriously out of here now (or at least browsing on mobile until I sleep lol)

Since Star Wars Weekend is coming up

>he didn't want to give us hugs because girls are gross


haha, that's cute.

>>6840068
Oh my god, that looks almost exactly like the pressure suit top my burn victim ex had to wear after his skin graft surgery.

why does he have to wear that? God forbid kids see bare man-chest or something?

>>6840027
A friend of mine is coming back home early from DCP from WDW. He said he enjoyed working for Disney but he hated the hours and the fake and shitty people in the program. I know he made a lot of Magical Memories with guests in merchandise in MK since he's such a sweetheart and kid at heart. I can assume from his experience not everyone is rude teenager in DCP, but he meet some pretty crummy people down there.

Also, what I'd give to meet the Tremaines. I always see videos online and they're hilarious.

>>6840217
Probably to avoid sexual harassment. I know Ariel wears a top suit when she's in her mermaid outfit.

>>6840217
Pretty much >>6840224
I remember reading in some of the previous princess party threads, how kids liked to try to pull of Ariel's seashell bra.

Also part of me thinks that parents would complain about their kid being around a bare chested guy.

>>6840216
Oh yeah, like I said, by no means is my experiences with DCP a mold that they all follow. Honestly, the only bad DCPs Ive met were all in entertainment, the ones in all other lines of work were great.

>>6840224
>>6840217
Ariel actually doesnt wear the illusion top all the time. For example when she meets in fin at MK she doesnt. I know she wears it in soundsational! (the pic you posted) because of where she is placed and because of the general look and design of the parade (it has rhinestones on the "skin" area)

I havent quite figured out why Mowgli wears that thing....At first I thought it was the whole man chest thing, but Tarzan when he does meet doesn't have the shirt or tights etc etc. He does have hilarious tourist sandles though. My best guess (and seriously, just a guess because I cant think of anything else) is because the character is underage and they wouldnt want an underage character showing that much skin? Idk, I know technically ariel is underage too but thats all I can come up with. Hes outfit also covers less than ariel's mermaid version too though.

I might ask some friends and see if they know. I doubt it, but some one might surprise me lol.

>>6840670
Heres another outfit of his. Hes still wearing the tights but Im pretty sure this is his cold weather outfit so that makes sense

>>6840673
And here is him bare chested. This isnt the picture I was talking about but itll work haha

>>6840673
>>6840674

Is it needed for males who play young face characters (like him and Peter Pan for example) to shave their legs and arms? I haven't looked close enough to notice if they do or not, but similarly with cosplaying young male characters, most of the time it just looks better with clean hair-free legs.

Because if it's so, maybe they have Mowgli wear the suit so avoid having the actors having to shave?

>>6840685
Thats a good point! Since he isnt a "normal" character that meets pretty much year round, usually male actors who do other characters (Like aladdin Ive noticed) will do him on the side. The hair thing is a really good point, as I dont *think* they have to shave as long as they dont have thick hair (though the chest they do)

>>6837958
You really think they're going for the baby? Hell no, the parents are going because they want to go, the baby is just an excuse.

>>6840124
They have Star Wars face characters but everyone was freaking out about Spiderman? I don't understand...

>>6840751
Dear god its not a big deal but seriously its simple.
SPIDER MAN IS NOT A FACE CHARACTER AT DISNEY

STAR WARS CHARACTERS ARE.

THEY APPEAR IN HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS. SPIDERMAN APPEARS IN NO DISNEY PARKS.

How is that not clear?

>>6840755
Shit, don't ALL CAPS at me, I wasn't even the one who was bitching about Spiderman in the first place. I've never even been to Disney World. Goddamn.

I searched through the archives and found disney threads but no spiderman story. And there's not a /co/splay thread where I can ask. Could someone link me to the archives where I can read it? I realize everyone's upset about it derailing the thread, but I really want to read it. I'm not trying to piss anyone off, just curious.

>>6841349
This thread is autosaging anyways. Sorry, anon.

>>6840751
Star Wars is technically Disney tho. The pic you're replying to is the Disney face character for Leia. She's not permanent but there's a bunch of Star Wars characters who will be out for the next month at Star Wars Weekend.

>>6841349
here it is. now everyone stop whining.

I usually don't care much about face characters, but the things I would do to see Ping… I didn't even know they had a PIng.
