Working as a Disneyland princess sounds like living in a fairytale but there is a lot that goes into acting like our favorite Disney characters. Not everything is as magical as it seems, especially once we go over the 10 Secrets Disneyland Princesses Are NOT Allowed To Talk About.
From meeting height requirements, to not having a choice in what princess you’ll perform as, auditioning to become a Disneyland princess is a lot harder than it looks. Once an actor is selected, they then have to maintain appearances, lock down social media, use code words, how to point, sign authentic princess autographs, and even pick up trash! The process never ends, though. Age and appearance are very important in order to ensure they are approved of and can keep their jobs every six months! Watch until the end to see how being a Disneyland princess comes with a serious set of risks!

"Princesses should never sit down" Ariel as a mermaid: SERIOUSLY?
Lol
xD
Xd
OOF
Lol
As someone with tattoos myself, I actually agree with the no tattoos rule. The only time I would disagree with it, would be in the case of Pocahontas, the tattoo around her arm. If someone was playing Pocahontas and they had that tattoo, I think it should be allowed, but only if it was the tattoo she has. Otherwise no. It would ruin the illusion.
Then you'd need Pocahontas's tattoo or very close. If you have a skull with flames, or LOSER over your arm, then sorry doesn't matter you happen to have something in the same place.
@@sirellyn4391 that's literally what they said lol
Well ya
honestly id get pocahontas' tat just so I could be her lol
This is bad but come on is the happiest park
"One performer suffered whiplash when her Minnie Mouse Head moved back and forth violently when a guest picked her up and shook her" UMM WHO PICKS UP AND SHAKES MINNIE MOUSE LIKE A RAGDOLL??!!!! SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!! lol literally what kind of person would do that I hope they got kicked out
I hope they got arrested or at least sued.
No Name same
IKR come on! minnie mouse is the cutest how would someone have the guts to do that D:
Princesses and other characters shouldn’t have tattoos, it would break the illusion. However, tattoos should be allowed for other workers who don’t play characters, or who play fur characters that are completely covered.
BooksForever they can, but only if they cover them. In japan (I think), tattoos are a sign of the yakuza, which is like the mafia. So, they don’t want to cause problems.
Yeah that’s kind of unfair for anyone who isn’t portraying a character
well most don't get to choose there characters..for example a lot of people can't play a princess until after they've played a fur (or full body) character for a certain amount of time, so it really just depends...
Mhm
Disney should come out with a movie with a princess who has tattoos. I would love it so much
"Here is 10 Things, Disney princesses is not allowed to talk about" "If you like crafts and diy's.." Me: oh, ok edit lol it's like two years??? since i wrote this comment and idk whatever i wrote means
Laura Møller haha same
XD
Laura Møller lol
Hah fgerghrhrrhhrhrhr
xD
i would definitely mess up the signature 24/7 that’s a lot of pressure to make it constantly the same every time 😂😂
At least they have the new actors go through a month (if I'm remembering correctly) long training process that includes classes on how to sign your signature. They have you practice so much that it becomes second nature and as easy as drawing a stick figure.
My handwriting is like a prescription from my doctor ;-;
My cousin and I once went there and we made the biggest mistake you could make... We asked Elsa if she will show us her powers.😂😂😂
Yo, I asked an Elsa the same question and she replied with "Sorry, I'm not allowed to use my powers because it might scare someone" I could tell that she was getting annoyed with me by her eyes
My sister asked if she loved frozen treats She said yes I mean she is elsa
😂
@@laMaricelamtz I asked the same thing and the said It’s to dangerous it could scare someone 6 year old me was like mk then Edit I meant 4 year old me lmao
No, I will next time
Actors are playing a ROLE, and their role is ZERO tattoos. There is NOTHING discriminatory about that. It is THEIR job.
I agree with that but the shopkeepers or non actors shouldn't be forced to cover their tattoos or remove their piercings they aren't playing a part
rvpstudioscanada oKAy
Its ironic though that Pocahontas.....who IS considered a Disney Princess....DOES IN FACT have a tattoo on her arm.
rvpstudioscanada i agree with that but i think other workers who don’t act should be allowed to have tattoos or body modification aka dyed hair piercings tattoos
CeltycSparrow LoL yeah...
Princess quizzes be like : Can we guess what Disney princess you are? Question 1 What do you do in your spare time? Read books Eat apples Beauty sleeping Going in the sea 😂😂
Alice read
Right lmao
None of them.
Freeze stuff Save China Glitch Turn into a frog Follow rabbits into holes Brush your hair all day
Read books
If the costumes are a danger they need to be redesigned with lighter materials. Clearly their costumers are not using the best durable and light weight materials if the frames are breaking bones. They should find cosplayers, fursuiters, and wedding dress designers who actually know how to make elaborate and safe gowns and costumes with amazing accuracy to complex, historical, and creative designs.
Agreed
Even fursuiters and cosplays take risks, have uncomfortable costumes, and sometimes not the lightest weight materials when going for complete accuracy. It's not that easy, especially when trying to stick to a specific time period. Yes, there are better ways, but not always the most accurate or pleasing to the eye for disney
It really isn't as dangerous as they make it sound they exaggerated a lot of points and before they become a character in the suits they train them like a lot and they have a supervisor with them to make sure that there safe and they take breaks every 15 minuets and either swap out or take a break and cool down for 10 minuets before coming back to meet ups
Honeybee Honora but at least their costumes look good, these princesses in the video wear dresses that look like they were made for some child play, they look like they were made from cheap material
Thank you for saying FurSuiters that literally made my day
Younger me: I wanna be a princess at Disney Me seeing the video: HERE I COME DISNEY I STILL LIKE YOOU
I wiLL smIle foRe yA uNtil I cAnt stOp😀✊🏿
I wanted to be a princess there too now I'm traumatized but I'll still work a different job there lol
Title: things princess can’t talk about Video: what they do
Haha ikr😂
Princesses shouldn't have tattoos, because you pay a lot just to see an illusion, it shouldn't be destroyed by visible tattoos.
Agree
I think tiana, Jasmine, and repunzel would look good with tatoos
Hello? Identical look? Child: Rapunzel! Come here! (Rapunzel comes closer.) My sister wants to see that dragon tattoo on your shoulder. Hey, where's your tattoo? You had it right here 10 minutes ago!
Yea
Ibtissam Mazouzi I agree, I just don’t understand why other workers can’t lol
❤Making sure that all kids have the same autograph in their books is truly special 😇
That's a little weird to me. It's important to keep consistency to not ruin the illusion but as an adult it's a little creepy.
@@mercuryfever392 yeah true but what if their signature was sloppy and kids faught over who had the better autograph 🤷♀️ but I see ur point lol
So they can't tell friends and family that they had a good day at work? How rude
they can be like "work was great" just not get into details, like noone is supposed to know they are a disney princess
They can tell people how their work was great or they had a good time just not get into detail like who their playing as.
The people who play characters can say I worked WITH whatever character they were playing so they can preserve the Disney Magic
But won’t the family be suspicious since they're always gone?
Fame Plays their family can know that they work at Disney just not what character they play
This is really interesting and accurate. My 6th grade World History teacher was a disney princess and when asked who she played she responded with “Legally I cant tell you, only my family and my disney emplorers know”
She already broke the law by telling her family.
They are allowed to say "I'm friends with (name of character here)" so they can say something like, "I had a great day playing with my friend Rapunzel"
Macarenasalada
Rigolo 🤣
Yea
I understand the tattoo and piercing rules but I feel that being fired for having an acne breakout isn’t okay because someone really can’t control having a breakout
Girly Gaming ikr 🙄
yes
same. To far
Drink water eat healthy
mitsuri. that helps but extremely stressful situations, sweating a lot, wearing a full face of makeup everyday, etc. are all things that every princess must do for her job. you can't control acne breakouts as it is, but it's even harder with their jobs. someone leads a priveleged life lmao 🙄🙄
Once I yelled who are you? To one of the princesses and then she yelled “ WHO ARE YOU?”
Lolololo5
Which princess lol
Btw I love your profile pic and name
Bernadine McQueary it probably was Alice because that’s what the caterpillar asked her lol
Well thanks grandpa...
i wanted to become a disney princess but now i don't
I love your videos I think you're awesome and I think that ❤️😍😍😘
I think you're awesome I think you're amazing I love you 😘❤️
When I was little and went to Disneyland like 3 years ago I saw belle and then I looked to my right and I saw another belle and I thought that would ruin a kids childhood
lol
😭
@@bobbigarcia3672 Kindly stop being so rude.
The no tattoo/piercing thing makes sense for the actors, but not for the people running the shops or the guides.
Ikr, at the shops and rides you hardly see the people because your too busy to look at the tattoos and piercings
Flutterbutt225 this video is a lie. Only the actors and people in the food business can’t have tattoos. They let you have tattoos in attractions and merchandise but they want you to hide them. You can have one ear piercing in merchandise and attractions. They are less strict with some of their cast members. I only know this because I want to apply for the Disney college program
Maddie Wilson actual cast member for a attraction here. Get ready for the strictness of the job. Also the third tattoo I had to get approved in case it somehow shows. It doesn't but you get the jist also. Makeup is a huge neutral type of thing. I have tons of facts if you need info lemme know
Gina Id love to know more! What exactly are the rules on makeup, hair and behaviour? Are there certain things other than the obvious things you are not allow to say?
Gina Thom oh thank you. I was actually wondering about the interview process. For the web interview, how hard are the questions and how long do you have to finish it? Also, what attraction do you work at?
I think the tattoo rule makes sense because seeing a princess with a tattoo and then the same one without would be confusing for little kids!
Yes, I agree! But I feel like other workers besides characters should be able to have tattoos showing. Or at least small ones.
Imogen Lyons yeah
... I disagree, when I was little I believed princesses should be bad ass.
But I think other workers should be allowed to
I think the rule is in place for regular workers because some children may find people with tattoos and/or piercings more intimidating or even scary. I think they’re just trying to completely avoid that risk by putting a no tattoo/piercing policy in place.
I took my dinomask to disney and was lost so I had it on and said to someone who was snow white "Um hi? I'm not sure where I am." Snow white: "oh now you pleasant animal we will help I always enjoy helping animals." God i love Disneyland uwu
Thanks to all these performers for putting so much work and effort into this job for people like me. I highly appriciate it.
What makes me angry is the furry costume heads. The fact that they can, and have caused injuries to so many employees is worthy of a lawsuit. While I'm sure part of it is to continue 'wow'ing the guests with their groundbreaking technology, which includes blinking eyes, wiggling noses, etc., I believe I speak for everyone who has to wear those heads when I say that they do not have to use such heavy materials. Plastics like most of the toon characters have should be a huge no-no. Plastic is extremely heavy, so no wonder Minnie got whiplash from a guest shakinhg her. What they need to use is what the furry community uses: Foam. Toony heads are easier, cheaper, and safer to make using foam, and you can still add the realistic effects to it without risking the safety of the wearers. If you need a skin-like feel to the surface somewhere, all it takes is adding a thin layer of silicone rubber or latex. If you need the head to be more sturdy, cut thicker layers of the foam. It is not that hard to make safe mascot heads for your workers, Disney. In fact it will save you money.
In my fanfics, the characters are the real deal, they CAN talk about non-Disney things without punishment. In my AU storyverse, the characters (who are NOT people in costumes but are the REAL deals) CAN talk about non-Disney IPs and brands. And the conversations that they have with guests are hilarious. Guest: Hey, Anna, have you been on the Mario Kart experience yet? Anna: Yeah! Olaf gets blasted with Koopa shells all the time! Additionally, forget "keep a smile on", because here, the characters show EVERY emotion. This means that if you're a kid and you piss Elsa off, you can beat she will freeze your hiney. If you're a creepy pervert like John Moyer looking to molest Minnie Mouse, Mickey will kick your ass to the point where security will haul you out of the park, so don't even TRY touching Minnie's boobs! Only Mickey can as he is her husband! In addition, every character is a martial artist. They all can fight, just like Mulan, thanks to the Power Rangers training them.
This sounds so much better than. Disney Land. I would have a much better experience in a place like this.
@@sarahduckett8837 Are you talking about my fan fiction AU?
it's fascinating how a community of costume makers can make safer costumes than big corporation who is actually paying someone to wear it.
Do they have ac in there or what 🤔? Can you imagine being Tigger in FL during the summer?

😮Wait! I never noticed that Princesses never wear nail polish??
BlessedByHim they’re wearing gloves
*are u Honduran?*
I don't see why they can't ware nail polish
@@sheranmccauley5396 hmm. Well for one thing none of the princesses were drawn or animated with nail polish. 2. Most royals have to wear light nail polish as dark nails were not allowed until Megan Markle wore dark polish. 3. Not all of the actresses would have the same nail polish and the Disney Princesses would need to be consistent with each other. 5. Wearing nail polish all the time can yellow the nails and not all Disney Princesses wear gloves and lastly, all of the Disney Princess stories were set in times where nail polish would not exist in those time periods.
Makes you wonder why anyone would even want this job!?
Roly cause they want to get payed i guess
i know it’s cheesy but the smiles the kids have. i’ve worked some parties as a character and that’s something they’ll never forget.

Even if the princesses have to pick up garbage off the ground, do not litter.
Hugh Sandgathe save the turtles
Baron hahaha😂
What's worse is that they have to do it in a GRACEFUL position and not squat down
The 2 finger point rule is also because Walt used to smoke... A lot, and he had a lot of pictures taken of him that have him holding a cigarette with 2 fingers that were photoshopped before being released to the public, which lead to Walt essentially pointing to places with 2 fingers since the cigarette was airbrushed out. To not break the magic and to stop people from "smoking like Walt" everyone pointed with 2 fingers, it just so happens to help with cultures around the world as well.
Hi
woah !!
I didn't know they had Photoshop in the 50's and 60's? 🤔
Hahahahaha that's disproved look it up lolololo
@@casuallyceltic No.... like LITERALLY air brushed out. Where did you think the airbrush tool name in photoshop came from?
The prohibition against tattoos makes perfect sense. You're portraying a character and have to look the part. Realistic expectation or not, a lot of small children think that when they go to a Disney park, they'll be meeting the real characters. Spotting a tattoo on a character that shouldn't have one could ruin a child's day at the park or, depending on how hung up on that character they are, their whole vacation. I don't even think it's out of bounds for non-character 'cast members'. A lot of tattoos portray brands, nudity, characters, religions, philosophies, language, or other things that Disney doesn't want to endorse. At the end of the day, it's their park, and if those are their requirements, then that's how it has to be. If you want to work as an engineer but you went to school for history, no one is obligated to hire you as an engineer. If a business requires you to not have marked yourself up like a graffiti-covered train car, but you're sleeved out and have more holes in your head than a bowl of Cheerios, too bad.
I do agree when it's Princesses but not so much other cast members. They could allow tattoos while still banning certain types, such as the things you mentioned. Many workplaces that allow tattoos still apply rules to the type.
I agree. Princesses should look the part. They said if it's easily covered - they don't care. @@OverdramaticAngel I think they have so many people willing to work there, they can choose. And arguing over which tatoo is ok and which is not would be a pain in the ass. So it's just more convenient to ban them all. After all it's not a necessity that you work in a Disneyland.
I agree with you. Even shopkeeper and another worker is not the main characters they still an unnamed side character of The Park. It’s like you watching Lord of The Rings and just notice some of Rohan soldiers and Mickey Mouse tattoos on their arm. It’s out of place and break the character.
Kids of all ages.
Warlocke000 BiG wOrDs
Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Belle, and Alice's characters would be absolutely RUINED if they had a tattoo or piercing. It would be like beautiful princesses gone savage.
Cassidy Faith tattoos aren’t savage, how old are you 3😂
cinderella could look cool with a tiny glass slipper tattoo though but i feel like thats an exception
In my opinion, none of them should have tattoos, Except for maybe Pocahontas whose design involves a tattoo, Can you imagine wanting to see your favorite princess and she has a full sleeve of tattoos? That would break the image for a lot of people especially the kids. But that's just my opinion.
Ohhhh they should make a movie about someone becoming queen/ princess bc some emotional tugging twist happened w/ her parents. But in memory, she tatted Walt on her or something. She should be the girl next door kinda vibes, but naturally cute. W/ tats & such things like that. Prob minus heavy black eyeliner. But her nails can be black & chipped tho
@@ahhwe-any7434 kids probably wouldn't like that, that doesn't really fit the disney theme but thats actually cool.
I can see why they have the tattoo rule. It's all about consistency, Disney's whole aesthetic is about keeping the magic alive, for the children especially. And, as some of the most iconic and recognisable characters in the world, the Disney Princesses are an integral part of keeping this illusion up. Seeing a princess with a tattoo at one event and then spotting the same princess without a tattoo at another event or part of the park would tip off even a small child that they weren't the same person. Thus ruining the magic. Yes, tattoos are a form of self expression and under normal circumstances I'd say that being inked up shouldn't matter, but these particular cast members are actresses. They're not being themselves, and their job is essentially to convince the kids that they actually are that princess.
When we took our children to Epcot, our daughter just disappeared. We ran into 3 princesses that were together near France and they helped look for her. No handlers that we could see (we hung out for a good 20 mins). Turns out she'd just taken a few steps to the left and went in to an indoor area with Belle (I think Beast was there too, Christmas time of year) reading a book. Our sons were having a great time with 3 princesses to themselves lol no idea if this was part of training or not. They talked though. They each gave our daughter a hug and told her to make sure to not wander off and get lost. That was a pretty cool afternoon. I mean, other than our daughter sneaking off 😂 there were hardly any people there that day. Pass Holders 03-09 👍😊
that might be terrifying!
I don't care if the workers or parade performers had tattoos or piercings but not on the characters themselves because that ruins the illusion
Tattoos take away from the person behind them. If someone is all tatted up, people focus on that. The idea is for the Disney cast member to make an impression on a guest whether it's a character or just a regular cast member. Every cast member is a character and in costume. People didn't have tattoos in the era of Main street, Frontierland, New Orleans square, Critter Country, Adventure land, Fantasyland, so you can't add tattoos to those costumes.
Its not a illisoum
Well, I mean, some people in those regions had tattooed skin. But of course I agree, if the character didn't have a tattoo then the professional actor shouldn't either. It's part of the magic.
A lot of the people who play characters also work as staff attendants. You can have multiple positions to fill, even in just your daily hours you can go from a staff, to an animal costume, to a face character.
They're pretty much trapped like the actual Disney princess in the movies. How ironic...
"Not allowed to talk about anything outside the disney realm" *what about Princess Fiona?*
In my fan fiction AU, yes. In my fanfics, the characters are the real deal, they CAN talk about non-Disney things without punishment. In my AU storyverse, the characters (who are NOT people in costumes but are the REAL deals) CAN talk about non-Disney IPs and brands. And the conversations that they have with guests are hilarious. Guest: Hey, Anna, have you been on the Mario Kart experience yet? Anna: Yeah! Olaf gets blasted with Koopa shells all the time!

fiona isnt disney its dreamworks
@@suzanneortego8393 Sadly.
And nala!
They don't know her😂
I do understand the people who want Disney to be more inclusive about tattoos and piercings but I think that would kind of ruin the experience for the younger audience.
Yeah and though I doubt a child will be terribly heartbroken by it or even care, I still understand why the rule is there for the actors, not really sure about the other employees, though.
I think the no tattoo rule is not just for the children but also the parents who may have to explain to their children why Rapunzel has a tattoo on her clavicle in one end of the park and no tattoo on the other. Consistency appears to be very important to Disney.
But maybe getting tattoo's that match the role are fine, since I noticed Pocohantus has a drawn on tattoo, so getting a real one would make it easier for her instead of drawing it each day. Only if she wishes though,idk
Well they would have to know one way or another that people like that exist in the world but out of it i do indeed agree ruining it for younger audiences.
Arani Hiritharan each person could end up playing several characters.

I knew someone in highschool who worked as Snow White on the weekends and even brought in one of her signatures when she talked in our class about her job. I remember when someone asked her to write the signature on the board she said she couldn't because it was against Disney's rules.
Them: Also, Disney princesses should never sit down Me: But I went there when I was 4 and they were all sitting down when I took my picture with them! I sat on there lap. 🤨
I want them to make a disabled princess. I am blind and want to find some inspiration and show that we can do almost anything.
Great idea! I am all for that! I am disabled too in a different way. I have autism.
They really should!!
Yes they really should or a princess that is a different body size no one or nothing is perfect so they should really do that
Yes. Not everyone is perfect
Ghost girl how can you type if you are blind
What an illusion. The only glamourous thing about being a princess is the appearance, holy crap that sounds like hell. I also heard Disney's employees aren't given much at all and the conditions are extremely difficult.
idylle♡doll that's not true, the cast members are treated really well
Having Disney Land or Disney World on an application would look amazing though
And no one makes them take the job, or keep it, it's a 100% free choice situation.
I was a cast member working in Entertainment. We were treated very very well. :) this video is bias
Sure cast members in entertainment were treated better. Not normal cast members. We were over worked, under paid, and treated like garbage by some managers and of course guests. 7 years at Walt Disney world cast member here.
I want to try out and I’m hoping for Ariel wish me luck
Alex Smith how did it go?
did you get it?
Wish you luck
Alex Smith how was it
Pretty sure if she got it, she's not allowed to tell people.
What if you say "I'm not sure", what would happen??
Hold on if they are not allowed to talk about them how did you get these informations ?
Russian trooper when the people working there leave or get fired
Russian trooper that’s what I wanted to know
Russian trooper Maybe she WAS one!
what i was thinking
Exactly
The idea is that these are 'the real deal' and we all know Disney Princesses never had tattoos in any of their movies, so allowing tattoos would ruin that image Disney is going for
AnimalCracker45 except for Pocahontas with the marking on her right arm. But it's understandable that it'd be confusing if a kid sees a Disney character with a tattoo. Also some people have been known to get some inappropriate looking tattoos so it's understandable that it'd be bad to display those in a place where kids are going to see them
Along with the fact of as assumed stage actors they should not be dumb enough to get a hard to hide tattoo because it is not just Disney that has those requirements. In acting on stage the actors are required to be able to quickly and easily hide tattoos with a preference of not having them unless that character was designed with a tattoo. It is meant to make it easier on the makeup artists and costume designer, along with not ruining the look of a character. I have seen actors booted straight out of an audition because they had tattoos that would be too hard to cover in a stage production
AnimalCracker45 oh well I wonder who Pocahontas is
@@jinxreaper_6623 did you ever even watch pocahontas it is amazing
First off the tattoo thing I understand that since a kid might see a flower tattoo on one tiana and then nothing on another.
There are no wire frames on Princess dresses. It is PVC rings and while they still can be heavy depending on the skirt they aren't as heavy as a wire frame would be. Also the tattoo rule is a good one! You are at a Disney Park to live in the illusion not to be slapped in the face with reality.
I get the tattoo thing... Kinda ruins the image.
A Stalker same
Yeah
A Stalker true
A Stalker it makes sense because if you met snowhite at one place with a tattoo and then all of a sudden that tattoo vanished when you meet the same character later it would be weird.
DISNEY OMG OMG I HATE IT YOU KNOW WHY IM NOT TELLING
Why would anyone try to pick up these actors let alone shake them. I'm sure a hug or high 5 is enough
ppl r dumb and weird. Im still confused bout that!
same
It's assault. I hope Disney have a zero tolerance policy on this and press charges against anyone assaulting their staff.
People get excited, they freak out, they do stupid things. Ever watch The Price is Right? I'm not trying to excuse their actions. Just pointing out that some people can get overly excited and lose control.
Keith Craig ~ I know what you're saying but when someone loses control to the extent that they commit assault against another person they are not fit to be in society and need to be prosecuted. Keep in mind these incidents are the ADULTS visiting the park, not little children.
So what happens if some people don’t want to see tiana for a while? They are fired. Unbelievable
Cast member here. 1. We all have to point with two fingers 2. We’re not going to be fired for saying I don’t know, but we are expected to utilize every resource we can to try and find an answer to a guest’s question before saying we are unable to answer. We don’t know everything, but chances are we can find someone who does. 3. It’s more likely that character attendants are going to pick up trash rather than character performers 4. Most of this applies to all performers, not just princesses, as well as all cast members. Overall, this video was made out to be more dramatic than it actually is (though they were right that princesses have less job security than your average cast member).
No tats or piercings on Disney employees is a GOOD rule.
Yunazki Chan {broken} {TsunDere} { Neko} ......... I'm pretty sure that's allowed, I mean most people now days have piercings
Ya
That is good rule no tattoo or piercing
I Agree
TheBitBlock i mean yes i get that but small tats that you wouldn’t really noticed shouldn’t need to be taken such lengths to get covered
One major secret. Mickey Mouse is always played by a female due to his height. They hire costume characters not by gender but by height. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Chipmunks are all female. Pluto and Goofy are male cause they're tall.
Sandra Cruz That’s a lie
HAHAHA,Funyyyyy?! Not rlly,Btw not true
gissneric woah
Angelene Lopez chill wth is wrong
gissneric ik MY AUNT PLAYED MICKY MOUSE
I get how some people think that it's not fair that workers can't have piercings or tattoos because it's excluding people but think about it this way, you go to Disneyland to see your favourite character and they have an arm covered in tattoos. It isn't what you were hoping for or expecting was it? That is exactly what they don't want for the people visiting.
wow this is crazy !! like i thoght that you could just do it CRAZY
I think that there shouldn’t be any visible tattoos or piercings on the princesses but the tattoos and piercings on the cast members should not be as strict
By "cast members", I take it you mean employees in general, who aren't character actors, right?
carultch yes that’s what they call their employees
Piercings and tattoos should not be allowed. I think first off they have to maintain uniformity and when one Snow White has a wrist tattoo and another one does not kids notice it and ask questions. Another thing is, while yes Pocahontas had a tribal tattoo she was really the only princess with any sort of tattoo that I recall so that would ruin the magic as well. Not to mention seeing ear expanders on a princess would not be considered lady like in the times they were written to be in. I 100% agree with Disney’s rules. They have childhood memories to maintain and they can’t have small details making children question the magic.
Grace Robertson true, that's exactly what I was thinking. I may even respect Disney more.
But Grace Robertson if Pocahontas does not have the tribal tattoo then the magic is not real because she needs the tattoo to be part of the tribe and the tribe is the one that brings the magic
Teresa Wilson she does have hers because it’s part of her character
Teresa Wilson i never said she shouldn’t have that tattoo but I was just using her in reference saying she’s the only princess I know of with a tattoo because that was just the tradition of her people. Where as belle (for example) doesn’t seem to have a tattoo so why would the belle at Disney world have one??? If the princess has a tattoo that’s fine to put the exact tattoo on the actress portraying the princess but I mean all other tattoos would be out of character and ruin the magic.
Grace Robertson I completely agree with you and Disney. I totally think it would ruin the magic if princess's or princes had tattoos or piercings, and I'm glad Disney has that rule :)
In first grade, a lady dressed as Elsa came in talked to us.then when I went home I told my aunt and she said it wasn’t really Elsa, I started screaming and crying. 😂🤣
{LehMuffin Gacha} so ur like 12?
So maybe your aunt is Elsa lol
Your a brat for screaming and crying over Elsa.
Katie Mueller your a brat you don’t even know this person this shows your one yourself
@@katie5hearts382 your a brat for judging people!
Love this channel
Well, next time I’m going to Disney I’m going to to give every worker a hug and a “Thank You”.😂🤣💗
disney isnt outdated, the princesses just dont have tattoos and kids would ask questions if they hade tattoos showing in the park. Also you can audition more then once a year. Only if you get to the end of the audition and are „cast“ they will either contact you within 6 months or not, during that time you cant audition again
I love this channel! This is my first time!!!! 👍🏽
2:29 -- what the hell even is that ferris wheel, how does that even work also -- the princesses are NOT forbidden to speak, which is even contradicted elsewhere within this video (such as greeting guests, acting the part, or answering questions about the park).
Andromeda680 it’s Mickey’s fun wheel at paradise pier in Disney’s California adventure (DCA) but since a couple of months ago it’s now known as the “Pixar Pal-A-Round” because paradise pier is now Pixar pier. Most people are afraid of the ride because some of the compartments move as the wheel spins. Also the wheel is also set a certain way where at times your compartment will be above the water since it is on a pier.
They said they are forbidden to speak ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD. Not speak at all...
The Disney Land ferris wheel works through...I don't know...maybe PHYSICS
If their not allowed to talk about it how do u know?
I bet people who no longer work there told people
The ex-disney princesses who worked in Disney talked about it
i bet this thing is a lie
I was going to say that
🤣I'm a girl k
I get Disney has a thing for "keeping the magic", but this seems weird. Like, what's wrong with people knowing what you do? Wouldn't it be good just in case that princess's family visits Disneyland and an emergency takes place? If the were nearby, that princess could do something about it. The rules for Disney World seems strange and a little bit crazy.
Saylor S0 Ikr. I'd think your family would ask what you do for a job anyway.
Burger Bash Fr.
They can’t tell their family that they work there, but I think if they did visit they would recognize her
they can say "I am a friend of ..."
You watch Pat and Jen
I can tell you, everything is true about this! I used to play Tiana
Emily Silvernail like I will believe u
What a lie
Yeah right
Yea right
What a lie,like anyone will believe you
WOW.. just wow respect to those girls
6:42 dove cameron in disney descendants. 7:55 raven and payton list and andi mack crew and other disney stars were at this time.
Shopna Begum nooo really??
I have been backstage at Disneyland before because I was dancing in a parade along with the rest of my dance studio. It’s actually really gross back there. Dumpsters, rotten pizza smell, and spills everywhere. Probably not supposed to say this since I’m technically a Disney cast member now but...
DELETE DISNEY MIGHT SEE THIS!!!!!!!
Random Girl...no your fine because your screen name is random girl
Laura shonibare I am only technically a Disney cast member. I ‘worked’ there for two days, and on the first day I ‘worked’ there for half an hour on one day, and forty five minutes the other. I was a dancer in their parade. Maybe I was in a different part of the backstage than you, or maybe they changed. Also, I was 10 and they didn’t even know my name. So, in conclusion, they are not doing a backround check on a ten year old who ‘worked’ there for two days when they didn’t even know my name. They also probably have lots and lots of backstage, so we could have been in a different part. Edit: the people who worked backstage at Disney land didn’t even talk directly to me once. They just shouted directions at the whole group.
Cat central you should tell the creator of the video to delete the video then. It reveals more secrets than my comment.
Things are getting too heated in here 😅
When I go there imma ask them a bunch of questions about it
Imagine asking a Disney princess “is it hard to be a Disney princess?
That is a question you should never ask
We need a princess with no hair so that the little girls and boys who have cancer can feel like they have someone like them and they can be extremely close with xx
alisha mayers Then we also need a princess with no leg Or arms and toget handicaps
I agree
alisha mayers what about handy caped people?...
I want to see a princess with some skin condition like vitiligo or imperfections like a big scar or birthmark or something. Edit: I also think girls with vitiligo are hella cute lol
alisha mayers tbh thats pretty true so
Wow being a Disney princess is harder than I thought
Benrisal the gamer be a character at cedar point... then it gets tough...
11:38 THAT'S ONCE UPON A TIME!! I LOVE THAT SHOW ITS AURORA AND SNOW!!💗💗💗💗
I used to work for an orthopedic office that saw workman's comp patients from Disney. There were alot of injuries from those costumes.
I think they want them to cover their tattoos and piercings because lots of little kids think that the princess are real so if they saw the tattoos then it would kinda ruin it for he littler kids. I'm still a little kid but I know that those princess aren't real!!!😝
It would really ruin the experience though... Like in a parade it would look bad
Same I'm 10
You’re also cringeworthy, love.
Im8
don’t leave me why would you feel like you need to say that to a kid?! Grow up.
I think that tattos are more welcome in today's age, however, is still potraying a character that does not have tattoos or piericings, having them will ruin the illusion.
I agree. It would turn the effect into a cosplay.
I think you look cheap with tattos ! It doesn’t change just because they are now prevalent.
Yeah... feel liberated to wear tattoos all you want. But princesses are off the table. It’s not about the performer. It’s about the character and how they are portrayed to guests.
Agreed
Disney Princesses with tattoos....ummmm no
I wonder if the autograph thing is more so a thing they do at WDW than at the other parks because I can't really recall anytime I went to Disneyland and saw that. Now for those that do get autographs from these characters, are you lugging around a special book for those occasions or do you get them to sign the back of a receipt or some other random paper you had stuffed in your pocket?
This makes me feel like I have to be perfect
The reason Disney is so strict about tattoos, especially with the character roles, is that the look across different workers for the same character needs to be uniform. This is so the Disney "magic" isn't broken, especially for children. As for the other workers, Disney is not the only company to do this. And it isn't an "unreasonable" or "outdated" rule. If you want to work at a disney park, don't modify your body in ways that can't be covered or hidden. End of story. You don't have to go out and get piercings, gages, body modifications, or tattoos. No one forced you to do those things. No one is born that way. So Disney is not discriminating just because they don't want visible tattoos on their employees. If you have a face tattoo, you can't go and claim discrimination against a company that has policies against facial tattoos. You make a stupid choice that puts limits on what places will hire you, you face the consequences.
The confidentiality thing also isn't that much of a secret. Disney isn't the only company to have such a strict policy on talking about the company or the work you do. I once worked at a bakery, and part of the contract I had to sign stated I could not reveal recipies or methods used specifically by the bakery. The contracts behind American Idol and the X Factor often have similar parameters. To go back to previous ones, of course the height, weight, look, and character availiablity all goes into who can be picked as what character. Can't have a 6ft Aladdin one day and a 5.5ft Aladdin the next. Consistancy is key.
YES!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you. You put it out perfectly!
Auto herself (Arose927) Good job
I have tattoos yet I couldnt agree more, thank you
I saw a Cinderella years ago and she seemed so happy. If I knew then what I knew now I wouldn't have loved it so much
For jewellery u said only a set of earrings and one ring. I LITTERALLY SAW AURORA WITH A NECKLACE ON!!!
OMG!!! I didn't know it could be it could be DANGEROUS
Honestly the tatto rule is VERY VERY well thought out and I think it is a great rule EDIT- wow that’s a lot of likes thxxxxxx EDIT- JEEEZZZZ IVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT MANY LIKES BEFORE THANKS GUYS
Also I, because it would totally ruin the affect of a princess for a little kid, because “she didn’t have any tattoos in the movies”
1- Can't choose your princess 2- No tattoos/peircings 3- No social media posts in costume/about job 4- Codes for incidences so they don't break character 5- Must point with 2 fingers 6- Must pick up garbage in a graceful way 7- Must look EXACTLY LIKE CHARACTER and look EXACTLY LIKE ACTRESS'S OF THE SAME CHARACTER 8- Very easy to loose job (for MANY reasons) 9- Can pass out in fursuits (must first train in fursuit), and can be hurt by heavy props 10-?????
Yep. And all great rules.
well that is annoying
The Purple Glitch thanks
The Purple Glitch thank you they were taking too long to get to the point
10i supposed is the the signature they train how to make the exact same signature everyone elses made when they are working for their specific role. Your welcome 😁
omg if i saw disney princesses with tattoos i would be so excited!!! and their tattoos would probably be beautiful works of art! beauty is always changing, lets choose to embrace it!
7:57 is that raven from raven home?
AM_Galaxy 0307 yes
Yes
3:06 I think that if it’s a small tattoo (size of a Apple Maximum) than it should be ok. If it’s a huge full arm or full chest tattoo, that would ruin my experience. As for piercings, ear stretchers should not be allowed because they take away that Disney magic, but most other peircings are ok. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
Teagan 17 I definitely agree
Teagan 17 I feel the same way
it's not like no tattoos at all you just gotta be able to hide it with it looking like you hadn't been there at all so you can have smaller tattoos
Teagan 17 my opinion too.
Teagan 17 is
Does anyone know about their secret underground wonderland where they go in between shifts? My aunt used to work for ferrero and they got an underground tour
Lauren_Playz only in the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World no other Disney park has underground utilidoors
Kevinnemo ok thanks! I’ve never been she just told me that so I didn’t really know any details
the tunnels are under the disney world park so two of the same character would never bump into each other when traveling. however, the fact that they are underground is a misconception. florida is so close to the water level that if you actually dug underground you'd likely be hitting water. if you ever go to disney world you may notice you go up a slight incline in magic kingdom as you walk up main street. the park is technically the second floor and the tunnels are at ground level! i find it really cool tbh.
Lauren_Playz I know. My sister works there.
The tattoo and piercing who makes sense for cast members but not actual workers and ride operators
The same Disney princesses should never be together Ummm at 7:23 you can see that that is WRONG
EllieCatEggo334 these are mothers and their kids, in a parade, dressed as their favorite princess. This happens every year.
They look like guests Look at the costume quality
They’re guests lmao
Yeah cuz of le wreck it ralph two.
Yep
I'm not against tattoos and piercings, but you can't just changed the rules of such a big company just because you want to, wen you have your own company you can do what you want with it but don't expect a complete company to change there rules. Is as simple as this, if you can't handle the rules then don't even apply for the job. The Disney look is really important for that company so we should just respect it.
In any acting job, you have to look like the character. This is nothing new or unusual. If you're playing a Victorian schoolmistress - cover your tattoo. If you are playing an animated character, you have to...big shock -look like the character. If Belle in the movie doesn't have a tattoo and you have a tattoo somewhere that can't be hidden then you don't get the job. Actors have to be a blank canvas, it's not rocket science. ALL Disney workers are known as Cast Members because they are part of the overall theatrical experience of being in the park. Even the people picking up your dirty plates. The overall look is supposed to be a clean cut, neutral - no different to any other high end store or restaurant. Also, no reminders of the outside world whilst in the park, it's a fantasy.
Gioart Univers yeah Disney princesses don’t have tattoos and piercings and I think kids my feel frightened or not recognise they favourite Disney princess I have loads of tattoos and kids look at me like I’m a monster
I agree 100%. Tattoos and piercings are fine if you're into that sort of thing, but don't expect the world to conform to your standards when you refuse to conform to other peoples' standards. And yes, absolutely, when playing the role of an established character, you're expected to act and look like that character.
Blah blah blah..shut up..Disney needs to get a life and hire people who want to work instead of asking for hand outs is what I bet someone said who didn't get the job because of their tats and piercings..I totally agree..I have tats and tons of piercings but I'd be damned if I want to see Cinderella's face all pierced up and a tat of a skull on her neck..good grief
I don't think it's about hand outs. If it was, they wouldn't be looking to play a Disney Princess. Long hours, a strict work environment and pretty low pay is not something a person looking for a hand out would be interested in. As I stated above, I think it's more about forcing people to conform to their standards than anything else.
for character performers the tattoos and piercings rule makes sense but for all the other cast members it doesn’t really make sense anymore
Ok that's a good point.
Yeah, seeing a Disney Princess or prince with tattoos are weird. But a ride worker or something, they can have them.
but you have understand. Disney doesnt looks at themselves as a company like any other. Whats acceptable for Walmart isn't acceptable for Disney in their opinion. They have a brand and reputation to uphold and maintain. Disney is infamous for protecting their property and image (you can thank walt Disney for like 80% of the copyright laws that exist as they are today). Disney does everything it can to make sure they are streamlined and perfect. All the way down to the ride operators. Its not about tattoos being seen as extreme or unsightly. Its just not part of the legacy of Disney's closely and fiercely guarded brand.
I agree, if i saw Queen Elsa with a tattoo, i would kick her in the shin for ruining my life, but an average person, i would be fine!!
So many just don't get it, when you are an actor playing a role, you don't have your personal indifferences on display, your playing a character who doesn't have tattoos, so you don't expect to see them. There is no leeway because you are acting as a character, it's not an opportunity for you to show your tattoos.
Thank you for running Disney princesses for me and thousands of kids to watch
