It is believed that the idea to create a theme park came to Walt Disney after a trip to Europe, where he and his daughter visited several similar parks at once, in particular, the famous Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen. Interestingly, the new park was originally supposed to be located near the great animator's studio in Burbank, California, but almost immediately it became clear that there simply wasn’t enough space. What happened next is now history...

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors I dated a girl that played one of the fairies for the Tinkerbell place. Beyond the pretty much daily occurrence of old dads hitting on her (she was 19 at the time) the weirdest thing to happen to her was a woman with a 4yr old little girl was all excited to get a picture with Tinkerbell, who was busy, so my ex volunteered to do pictures and entertain the little girl while they waited.

The woman was a b***h about that idea, rudely saying she was here to see Tinkerbell and not "off-brand" fairies. So just shrugging it off, my ex moved on. A bit later, she hears a commotion and Tinkerbell is obviously upset, and security shows up. Apparently, this woman was Tinkerbell's bio mom and had taken her granddaughter to Disney, just to violate the restraining order against her.

Disney Jail is a real place.

The guys girlfriend wanted him to do a picture with Chip & Dale, but he didn't want to. Chip grabbed him in a head lock and his girlfriend snapped the photo. When Chip let go, the guy came up swinging. Dale had to jump in and break them up, as Chip started swinging back. For a kid of 12, it was awesome!

By the way, unlike other amusement parks, Disney World employees are really actors, because the company basically uses theatrical terminology. So, for example, if you're working as, let's say, Mickey Mouse, then you're actually "playing Mickey Mouse" and you're not wearing a uniform, you're wearing a costume. Accordingly, even when you, being in a character, just walk down the alley, you must behave as Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck would behave. Oh Phooey!

Edit: this blows up quickly. I feel I need to let people know that it’s not okay to grope the Disney characters. My friend had introduced me to the people who play them and they are just normal people. All I can tell you is that they will make a disgusting face under the mask and talk s**t about you later after work.

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors I was playing Goofy inside a restaurant and I got swarmed Aliens-style by a hoard of kids under the age of 10. Unfortunately while I was playing around with them the inner hood below the mask slipped over my eyes and I was completely blinded. We had assistants around whom we could signal for help by flapping our arms, but the kids had made it a game of attaching themselves Tarzan-like to both my arms and to raise them I would have had to lift 3-4 kids per arm (dangerous even if I'd been strong enough to do that).

I found myself blind and completely rooted to the spot, unable to ask for help and with nobody realizing that I was in trouble. I spent like a solid 10-15 minutes in that sort of limbo reflecting on the life decisions that had taken me there until the assistant came over and whispered "set is over dude" and I finally managed to signal something was wrong.

There is a legend that when Walt Disney told his wife that he was going to open an amusement park, she objected that "they're so dirty", to which he replied: "That's the point. Mine won't be." Indeed, cleanliness is one of the distinctive features of Disney World. Along with, for example, just an incredible number of rides. After all, who else has managed to turn an ordinary (albeit incredibly popular) attraction into a colossal movie franchise, like Pirates of the Caribbean did?

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors I was one of the performers for Nick Wilde from Zootopia a few years ago, And if you’re not aware; a large number of people in the furry community find him highly attractive.

You can just imagine the number of people in that community who flirted with me and/or Judy and whispered some pretty sexual things to us. I think I also had a guy grab Nick’s tie like in that flirty way, we had to get him escorted out of the park.

The moral of the story is: don’t be inappropriate with the characters, we are real people underneath and the are legitimate consequences for that kind of behaviour.

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors Long story short. Not a former costume actor but I did "interact" with one. This happened over twenty-five years ago. My wife surprised me with a trip to Sea World in Ohio. Inside the gate was the costume actor for Shamu. Since my wife is short and I am tall, the actor sat down on the bench with me on one side and my wife on the other to have our photograph taken. Shamu held us in close and my hand naturally fell on their thigh. I'm feeling a roll in the plush fabric and imagining how hot it must feel inside that costume when I realized that it was his penis I was feeling up. Picture is taken with Shamu's dork in my hand and we leave the area. My wife falls over laughing as I tell her what happened. She asks if it was a happy ending.

He squeezed, pulled away, grabbed his kids hands, smiled and said,"I didn't know Dale was a girl under all that fur."

I played it off at the time but it made me really uncomfortable that he had actually squeezed hard enough to feel me under my costume... decided to wear binders while I was in character so that no one else could ever feel my boobs again through the suit. This was back in 2019

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors I was part of the Disney college program and I have my own stories but not as a character. My mom on the other hand, she was a character actor back in the day (60’s or 70’s). They were testing a new headpiece for the seven dwarf costumes in Disneyland and my mom wore one of them out on a march with Snow White. As a Dwarf, your head is inside their hat, their face on their stomach, etc. Being Anaheim, it was really hot that summer day and as they were going around following Snow White a little kid saw my mom “Doc” he ran up to give him/her a hug. As he was hugging Doc, the plastic that made up the face started melting inwards and the child started screaming “I killed Doc! I killed Doc!” In hysterics. Character handlers rushed my mom/Doc off through one of the secret passages by Pirates and got her out of the costume before the plastic could melt onto her.

Always thought it was a fun story and curious how much it screwed up that kid.

25 Of The Most Controversial Mysteries And Tales From Disney Park Staff And Visitors It's wild what people think they can just get away with, when you're in a fully covered costume.

I didn't work at a park, but a long time ago I used to go out in a Jack in the Box costume both for fun and for a project. Like the mascot for the fast food chain. It was a VERY accurate costume, the big head/helmet part looked almost identical and was very well made. I wore it with a full suit, tie, and all that. I would just walk around and my friend would film from a distance. We were using the footage for a college assignment. I experienced a lot of weird behavior...

* Guys would smack the helmet as they walked past me. For some reason a lot of guys thought that was funny or something. They'd be like "hey Jack in the crack!" and smack me upside the head. Obviously it didn't hurt because the head is huge and solid, but it banged my head around and was unpleasant. Some smacks were harder than others, it was so weird that their default response was to be abusive.
* A lot of women wanted to post in sexually suggestive ways for photos. Had a girl walk up, ask for a pic, I said of course. She turns around, facing away from me, bends over and puts her a*s up against my crotch. I just stood there, threw up a thumbs up. But she reached back and put my other hand on her waist and her friend taking the pic encouraged me to pretend to hump her for the pic. Another time a girl literally squat in front of me, grabbed my hips and put her face in my crotch and yelled at her friends to take the pic so it looks like she's blowing Jack. I had a gf at the time and she would NOT have been happy if she had seen stuff like that.

But to echo what others have said here, it's all kinda worth it(to an extent) when you see how happy it makes some people. One time I was surrounded by a bunch of kids who thought I was the real deal because they were ecstatic. They ran into the nearby Jack in the Box and grabbed kids placemats and had me sign them with crayons. It was adorable.

my friend was jasmine and one of the things their role requires is to aknowledge kids dressed up as princesses or princes as if they were one of their own. thats y they bow or curtsy. its like an extra step to make kids smile. if they meet the one they r dressed up as they r supposed to act happy and suprised. although some characters act differently. like jack sparrow if u dress up like him then find him the person is suppose to act shocked then suspicious of u. some disney characters that arent a full suit u actually have to prove u can act before getting the job. the reasoning....to keep the magic of the character alive. my friend hated the job bc of adults but she said the kids smiles made it worth it.

my friend was a disney princess. jasmine if i remember correctly. the horror stories she has r endless. her worst was wen she took a picture with a few college kids. we were in college at the time too our first year. 2 of the guys stuck their hands into the leggings part of the costume and under her panties to grab her a$$. she wasnt the first jasmine to have that happen. thats y if u get a job to b jasmine they make you wear a body suit. it goes from the neck down and made out of the same material as stockings so its not noticable. disney might not treat employees with the best treatment but they do take measures to avoid employees from making sexual harassment charges against customers. u may wonder y they changed the costume well its bc my friend threatened to do just that. she said if they didnt prevent pervs from going into her panties shed press charges. as for the guys who grabbed her a$$ they were kicked out of the park by one of my friends guards unfortunately they had weekend passes so they also slapped them with a ban from taking pics with disney princesses.

i worked at a zoo at one time. there were many fundraising events of which one was breakfast at the zoo. we had characters that were animals that entertained the people in line waiting for their breakfast and/or entry to the place. the person who was supposed to be the tiger didn't show up. my now ex hubby had accompanied me to the event so i asked if he would be the tiger. all he had to do was mime and dance and entertain the kids. no problem he said. after a while one of the zookeepers came up to me to ask if i would have my ex move to another area. i was concerned as he had a twisted sense of humor so i thought maybe he had joked with the wrong person. nope. he had been dancing around the tiger enclosure and the actual tigers were stalking him. was telling dad about this a short time ago and he asked if it wouldn't have been easier and cheaper to just let the tigers have him...he may have been on to something with that.

I remember the good old days when Disney Characters used to swarm around the park, engage and bring a ray of sunshine to everyone's face. Then... they decided to make everyone queue 2-3 hours for a 30 second "Meet & Greet", where they could charge extra for a professional photograph. Haven't seen a Disney character for twenty years as a consequence, unless they are on the parade floats. Greedy bastards!

Probably a bit to do with greed (especially charging for the picture), but also a little bit to do with the safety and comfort of those in costume. It is easier to control crowds if in a line, and as these stories show, they need some crowd control. Also, at least here in Orlando it is so hot and humid most of the year that it can be uncomfortable being outside in regular clothes I can't image how awful it has to be in those costumes. Having a line indoors makes it easier to keep them cool.
