I was very fortunate to do a college internship with Disney World as a character cast member. If you have ever worked there, it is policy that dating among employees is strictly forbidden…that said, a program full of horny college kids isn’t going to follow that rule very well. I had several experiences with cast mates while there; all were also characters.
I’m sure you can imagine that the costumes for many characters are horribly hot, heavy and uncomfortable in the Florida heat. Fortunately, my costume wasn’t terrible because I was a princess. I was Belle. I had two costumes that I wore primarily, one more of a peasant dress and the other a large ball gown.
The first time I played with a fellow character was in the float storage area. Aladdin and I had been flirting it up since we had our orientation class. He was a student from another school but in the same program. And he looked very much like his character, as I did mine. The night before we had been at a bar with other cast members, flirting and touching. He was very into me and ended up kissing me as we left.
