Some time ago, about maybe a year, two years ago, I was reading a newspaper article on people who once did Disney characters; now that I remember, it was the recollections of a kid who played Mowgli at DL. He stated that if people started picking on the Seven Dwarfs, their leader--Doc, I think-- would give the order, and the dwarves would circle the offending guest(s), pull their arms out of their costume arms, and start spinning in place! The empty character arms would pummel the idiot guest(s), while other guests would see this and say, "Oh, look! The Seven Dwarfs are dancing!"; they'd get a big kick out of it, while the SG in the middle would get a pounding they'd never forget! Don't know if you'd be able to get away with that now, but.... I agree, where are the escorts, for crying out loud???? And I think the restaurants should have security cameras with sound recording capability, and the characters should wear hidden mikes. They make tiny video cameras the size of a shirt button now; maybe add those to a character's arsenal? It's all about collecting evidence, and teaching miscreants they can't mess around with the characters anymore! If we don't crack down on those who have a sick sense of fun and games, you may as well close the park, like they're threatening to do with Six Flags Magic Mountain.
