I was glad to see that our tour guide on the steam train tour was a man of size, gave me hope for when I can move to Orlando and start chasing down that dream job :D

My idea too..I want the to get on the "Thumper Patrol" job, it sounds like what I could really do well!!

TMI! TMI!

Nooo thats the job where you get to go around WDW with a big bat, and when you see an SG, you get to thump him or her upside the head with the thumper bat!!

Oh size is not an issue... believe me. In costuming they have like 6XL shirts are literally like dresses. They don't care about how big you are physically, but how big you are in personality. ;)

I was 18 or so when I applied at Disneyland. The woman said size 14 and I did not get a job. Yep that was the first step to me realizing that fat people did not get jobs and I was too ugly and fat to work anywhere. I know that if I had a clean record with Disney and a perfect work history I still would not get a job. I was taught that day the lesson to ruining my life by telling me I was too fat to work for Disneyland.

Times have changed. I know there was once a time when I would not have been hired at Disney for being too big.

Yes times have certainly changed. The key thing to remember is that Disney is not perfect, obviously what happened to you Churchy was not good. I assure you size 14 is not an issue anymore. Now there are laws and regulations that prohibit discrimination based on weight. I know some "larger than life" people who really do an awesome job and the company would not be the same without them. Like it's said in Hairspray "The bigger the girth, the more you're worth!"

I don't mean to pry, but when did you apply? Like some other posters, I don't think that would happen now..Sooo quit what your doing and APPLY..that way the rest of us will have more people "On the inside" so we can make fun of SG's!!!

I was driving a car so I was 17 but not more that 20 probably 18. I am 50 now and I do not care what you say, I aint ever getting another job anywhere in the world and am scarred for life and know that Disney was and is prejudiced in hiring people.

It was before before wallaby was born. you can join my pity party but get lost as we all know the truth about disney.
