Around page 4 it came to light that Disney CMs who portray characters do not get tips or food. So my question is "How do Disney characters survive in the parks if they get no tips or food?" and what prevents characters from eating each other as Donald Duck would make a tough duck dinner.

Another question is about Captain Hook and why he has not kidnapped Ariel. Does he get a GAC for being disabled?

Was Disney so poor that he had to share costumes between Mickey and Donald? Donald got the pants and hat, mickey got the gloves and shorts, lol.

point #1: It said they don't get food at the character meals, but it is always possible that they get "special dietary" meals from the backstage cast eateries. The cost of which would be charged against their "appearance honorarium". ;)

point#2: Aerial would be a poor choice for Hook. How big a worry would it be to "walk the plank"?

Yes Hook would get a GAC but since it is not a mobility issue, none of the line oriented (aka front of line) benefits would be available.

point #3: It's possible. But it may be more likely that the limited budget was eaten up by the clothing budget for Minnie, Daisy, etc. They were normally portrayed with multi layer outfits and big hats that changed from show to show, at least in the early years. So the costume budget may have been eaten up with the ladies "closet". ;)

Wouldn't having a hook for a hand be a disability like accidently skewering people with the hook while in line? Also he would have problems with the seatbelts.

I hope people can come up with more questions.

hey why blame us women for the men who like Donald and Mickey show off body parts that should not be shown off.

I have been trying to find out what was Captain Hook's name before his hand was cut off by a certain nasty little boy dressed in green.

And I have it from very reliable sources that Figments enjoy Chicago Style Pizza and Chocolate Mousse.

Ooo, oooo! I can answer this one. Ooooooooo.... Hook's name before Pan gave him a better one was Black Stache. He was known for his rather predominant facial hair. Read Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Berry and Ridley Pearson. It's the prequel to Peter Pan and extremely well written and fun. It's concidered a kid's book so it's an easy read, but it explains how everyone became who they are in Peter Pan's world. It will also soon be a Disney CGI animated film.

I want to know why in the cartoons does Donald cover himself with a towel after getting out of a bath. He never wears pants, so what is he covering?

It's kind of like wearing a wet t-shirt - wet duck feathers show a little too much anatomy. ;)

I have proof that either we are being lied to or Donald cheats on his income taxes.

I was looking through the Disney At War DVD and the short where Donald was telling people how important it was to fill in and file their tax return. He was showing how simple it was, and under dependents he listed Huey, Dewey and Louie as "Adopted".

Since they are his nephews he could have legally indicated them as nephews as the Internal Revenue Code allows claiming certain relatives as dependents as long as you provide over half their support and it appears they do live with him and he does provide over half their support.

So I guess he had some reason to lie, or maybe he is embarrassed, or something.

(And only an accountant would have spotted that.)
