Interesting Disney fact

So I found out today that no one over the age of like 10 (or maybe it's 12) is allowed to come into a Disney park dressed as a Disney character.

No, I'm not kidding. As funny as that sounds...

We had the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon today and some of the contestants/participants dressed as their favorite princess for the run... A few of them tried to get into the Park afterward in their Princess dresses and were told that they'd have to change their clothes first.

Apparently they're worried that kids might get confused if a random guest is dressed up as a Disney Princess and it would be a problem if they think that this random guest is actually Jasmine or Cinderella. They've also had a problem with people coming into the park dressed as a character attempting to sign autographs. I heard about a would-be/wanna-be Snow White who was thrown out of the Magic Kingdom for doing just that.

So apparently you were lucky that it was Halloween, Kelsey. If you had tried to dress up like Hannah Montana any other time you might have been thrown out of the park or been asked to remove your wig (by the way I am so excited about the move in April).

Crazy the things you learn about Disney after you've worked here for like 9 or 10 months.

  3. Well I had never tried to dress up like a Disney character and go to the parks before. And it's not like they tell you about it in Traditions. I don't even know what character I'd dress up as. LOL. You still should've dressed up as Snow White and walked around Vista or Walmart or something.
