I filled out out all my days I needed out in the shift exchange/give away book and even notified fellow like sized friends. I DID find a girl who had been disapproved in another character and was then put into the same friend role I was giving away (we shared it that day) and so she trying to see if she can have all my days replace her disapproved character place.

This involves jumping though MANY Hoops!

My attendant is also has union knowledge so he's seeing what he can do for me as well.

I'm cutting this close as I do leave on Saturday.
just out of curiousity, what is the biggest you can be and for what?
I thought Goofy was the tallest, someone told me Brer Bear is the tallest.

I think Brer' Bear and Goof are in the same range, which is the tallest (as far as a mouse like me knows) But they DO have taller friends for guys like Chewbaca and Darth Vader.

My understanding is that Darth Vader is in the Goofy and Beast range. Brer' Bear is possibly there also, I'm not sure. I know for a fact that Chewy's friend is 6'8" tall as he is an artist in my area except during Star Wars Weekends when Chewy comes into town.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

hmm, I see on the casting web site they are looking for Fairys.
now those have to be some short girls.
I think it said a good Tinkerbell was from 4'2 to 5'1
hmm, at least the little ones will be cheap to feed....
man, I would hate to work in employee food service, talk about a cattle call...

Shhh! Don't bring up the fairies around Sarah! She's upset they raised the height for them to over 5', making her unable to become one and if you ask me she'd make a perfect fairy. She has the right looks for one of them too.

OK, I'm missing something here. Why would raising the height for the fairies disqualify Sarah. If she fit the requirement before raising the height then adding a few inches should not disqualify someone who would make a great "friend".

Isn't a range given for a reason?

She was the perfect height when they first started talking about having fairies but when they officially released the requirements they had upped the height a few inches making her to short to qualify.

I have heard of people technically to short for to be friends with a certain face character still getting the role because of how perfect they are for it otherwise but sadly she couldn't even try because the auditions were all held during times she had to work.

It is, it is. She's 5' nothing while I'm 5' 17".
