1.
Certain physical characteristics are important - Because every costume is the same for a specific character, actors must be a certain height and size to be cast for a particular character. -
2.
No âone-fingerâ pointing - Watch when you next ask a Disney employee for directions â theyâll point either with two fingers or their whole hand, never with one finger. -
3.
Thereâs no such thing as âI donât know.â - Youâll never get this admission from a Disney employee. They have to find a nearby employee that knows or a park phone to ask someone else. -
4.
Short, plain nails are the only option - Womenâs nails canât be more than a quarter inch past the fingertip, and donât even dream of painting them. -
5.
No funky glasses - There are restrictions on eyewear, with no unconventional colors or visible brands or logos. -
6.
Secret names - Youâre not allowed to refer to the employees as employees, theyâre all cast members here. -
7.
Signature training is important - Every cast member goes through thorough signature training so that each characterâs signature always looks the same. -
8.
Keep it clean - Disneyland is spotless, and the cast members are a big part of that. Everyone has to pick up and trash they see, including the princesses. -
9.
No visible tattoos - This one isnât a surprise, Disney and full sleeve tattoos donât really match. -
10.
Everyone goes by first names - Walt Disney insisted on everyone referring to him as âWalt,â way back when this was very unusual. The tradition is carried on today. Youâll hardly ever see a last name at Disneyland. -
11.
No social media - Cast members canât disclose anything about their jobs on social media. If they did, they could be fired immediately. -
12.
Let your hair down, or put it up, whatever they say - Because there are strict guidelines about how the characters look, there are restrictions on hair color, style and facial hair. -
13.
Theyâve got code words - Nothing unsavoury can come out a cast members mouth, so they use code words. A vomiting incident used to be called a âprotein spill,â but now itâs just a âcode V.â -
14.
Itâs a seriously small world - Cast members need to stay in character at all times. When theyâre asked about non-Disney things, like currents events or other movies, theyâve got to play dumb, and act like they have no idea what youâre talking about!
