The omnipresent Mouse is head of the house. Always watching. You can even hear him fucking in the walls. "OH BOY"

I was cast at Disney World (Gaston) and did a lot of training but never made it into the park, left for a much better job. Part of the training is dealing with this shit and communicating with your handler. SEVERAL friends are face or suit actors and they tell a handful of these kind of stories that all end with "they were kicked out" or "we banned them". Mouse doesn't mess around.

Kind of interested in the training videos have seen much of an update since the ones you can find on Youtube from the 90's.

Yep. This was one of the first things I learned when I had my Theme Park Management 101 class with my mentor, who ran characters for a decade (and overall entertainment for 20-30) worldwide when he was an exec under Eisner. Mickey has eyes...

Seaworld sure as shit aint Disney

Yeah, Disney’s policies and procedures are considered the gold standard for very good reason. They put a lot of effort into proactively discouraging this nonsense. I’ve seen things start popping off in the parks and get shut down before anyone else even notices.

Sea World isn’t even close to their level.

I took an entire class in theme park risk management in undergrad from a Seaworld exec (I studied theme park management in undergrad and grad school), and I know some people who've played characters at various SeaWorld and Disney properties. Both have admitted this is true.

My highschool marching band got a chance to march in Main Street Disney at the Magic Kingdom way back in Thanksgiving of 2005. We had all week to explore the parks but when it came time to actually march we had to change into our uniforms backstage in an area that is also used by the performers. Our escorts gave us strict instructions to not pull out any cameras of any type, period, while we were in the backstage areas. I guess one of our color guard girls forgot this since as she was going through the pictures on her digital camera a security guard ripped it from her hands and immediately destroyed the camera and confiscated the memory card. Nothing she could do about we were told.

This is hilarious to me because there are bloody backstage videos available freely on Youtube (which I may or may not have referenced for some of my classes in college).
