Secrets of Disneyland (23 photos)

Disneyland is an eternal fairy tale, holiday and fireworks - by At least that's what it looks like from the outside. But Disney employees parks around the world tell a variety of stories about their work - not only emotional, but also very strange. Let's give them the floor.







"My son, when he was four years old, dreamed of meeting Elsa and Baymax. From Baymax he burst into tears, and then when he met Elsa, he wanted to talk to her about everything. But the servants tried to take him away because the queue was long, but this woman literally removed the minister's hand from my son's shoulder and said: no, this the young man was waiting to talk to me and he would stay and be talk to me until you're done. I even cried. my son is so strong hugged her, and seemed to be happy."





“In 2021 we were at Disneyland and passed by space stormtroopers. One of them told me "Hold that little one droid under control,” referring to my youngest daughter.

So now every time she sees a stormtrooper on screen, she always says: “Dad, do you remember how in Disneyland one of spoke to you?"



"I dated a girl who played alone in Disneyland of the fairies in the Tinker Bell house. She complained that old dads constantly molested her (she was 19). But the strangest thing that happened to her there was a story with a woman and her 4-year-old daughter. She really wanted take a picture with Tinkerbell but she was busy so my girlfriend volunteered to take pictures and entertain a little girl while they waited.

The woman was against this idea, rudely saying that she was here, to see the Tinker Bell, not the "non-brand" fairies. Shrugging my the girl is gone. A little later, she heard a noise, Tinkerbell came out the door, clearly upset, along with the guards. We were told that this woman was Tinkerbell bio-mother and took her granddaughter to Disney only to to violate a restraining order and meet my daughter."



"If Mickey Mouse from Disneyland Florida 1993 is reading this, - I am truly sorry that I punched you in the face. I was 2 years old and I didn't I liked it when strangers invaded my personal space."



"In the 1970s, when I was a kid, I went to Disneyland and watched as Chip got into a fight with a young guy in his twenties. The guy's girlfriend wanted him to take a picture with Chip and Dale, but he didn't want to. Chip grabbed his head and his girlfriend took a picture their. When Chip released his head, the guy approached with a menacing look. Dale had to jump up and disperse them when Chip began to retreat. For for a 12 year old it was amazing!"



"I twitched Goofy's nose when I was little, he pretended to cry and I'm still ashamed of it."



"Either Mickey or Minnie farted very loudly, posing with me and my wife. They must have been awful in that stove-suit."



"I had a guy friend who wore a Minnie Mouse costume. He told me that almost all the guys hug him around the waist. He always was silent, otherwise they could hear a male voice and get angry.

People, you need to understand that it's not good to grope characters. Disney. My friend introduced me to the people who play them, they ordinary people. And if you touch them, they will make a face under the mask and will talk nasty things about you after work."



"I was playing Goofy in a restaurant and I was surrounded by a crowd of kids under 10 years old dressed as aliens. Unfortunately, while I was playing with them, the inner hood under the mask slipped over my eyes and I was completely blind. At we had helpers whom we could call for help by waving our hands, but the children played a game, clinging like Tarzan to both my hands, and to lift them, I would have to lift 3-4 children per arm. I was blind and fullTew rooted to the spot, unable to ask for help, and no one realized that I was in trouble. I spent 10-15 minutes in this state, reflecting on the vicissitudes of fate that led me there, while the assistant didn’t come up and whisper: “The number is over, dude,” and to me, finally managed to signal that something was wrong."



"A few years ago I played the role of Nick Wilde from "Zootopia". You can't even imagine the number of people who flirted with me and/or Judy and whispered to us sexy things. One guy grabbed my tie so strongly that I had to escort him out of the park. The moral of this story is: don't behave inappropriately with the characters, inside we are real people, and such conduct has legitimate consequences."



"It happened over twenty-five years ago. My wife decided to surprise me with a trip to Disneyland in Ohio. At the gate was actor dressed as Shamu. Since my wife is short and I am tall, the actor sat on the bench, I sat on one side and my wife on the other, so that we were photographed. Shamu pressed us to him, and my hand, of course, lay on his thigh. I felt plush fabric at hand, imagined how hot it must be inside this suit, - and suddenly I realized that I was groping actor penis. In general, we were clicked with a jerk Shamu, and we left territory. My wife burst out laughing when I told her that happened, and then for a long time asking if it was happy end".



"I was Dale, and one day some dad came to us with with their children. I mind my own business and have fun with them. When it's time for photos, dad joined us and everything was well, until after the photo he asked to hug me, and I allowed. He squeezed me, then pulled back, grabbed his children's hands, smiled and said, "I didn't know Dale was a girl."

I was very embarrassed: he actually squeezed me strong enough to feel me under my suit. After this I decided to wear bandages while I'm in character so that no one else could never feel my boobs under the suit again."



"A visitor offered me $400 to have sex with him in my Goofy costume."



"I was a Tinkerbell fairy, and the worst thing was that dads constantly pestered me. We always had guards in case if we need help. And, you know, she was needed regularly!



"I was at Disneyland with my family and my 4 year old daughter pressed Pluto's nose like a car horn. I immediately calmly asked her stop and apologize to Pluto."



"My mother was a character actress. They were testing a new headpiece for the seven dwarf costumes at Disneyland, and my mom wore one of them on the march with Snow White. When you are a gnome, your head is in a hat and a face on his stomach. It was very hot in Anaheim that summer day, and as they followed Snow White, a little child saw my mother - gnome Doc - and ran up. hug her. When he hugged her, plastic, out whose face was made began to melt, and the child began to cry: "I killed Doc! I killed Doc!" He went into hysterics. The attendants took my mother through one of the secret passages in Pirate City and dragged her out suit before the plastic had time to leak onto it. Always thought it was funny story".



"I once went through a self-care at Disneyland. My the girl at that time was offered a job, and I did not want to fall behind her. To me They said, "You're not a good enough person to work for Disney." AND Then we went to meet my friend's father. Turned out great day".



"I worked at Disneyland. The worst thing I've ever heard this is a case when one of the characters was killed by a 35-degree heat, and he vomited inside the suit, spattering his head with half-digested lunch. To him I had to go to the locker room for a long time, breathing overheated vomit all the way air."



"Dated an actress from Disneyland. Her most perverted memory - how a man asked to let him stay in her costume in within an hour. He offered her $3,000."



"I had a friend who played Pluto for several years. Even though her gender was indistinguishable under Pluto's costume, she regularly told how often she was pawed by children and adults.

In costume, she was about 170 tall, but in real life in She was a little over 1.5 meters. They had 4 people playing Pluto, and It was impossible to tell them apart in costume."



"I was one of Cinderella's ugly sisters, and every offended the day. Then I got promoted to princess and honestly I don't miss by offenders."



"I was the Easter Bunny and people were just... weird. I was threatened by a guy who said he was going to throw me off stairs. But the kids were always very happy to get a photo with me, so it was worth it."
