I have only seen her dress up for SWW. Other then that she doesn't (that I know of).

The way they talk about her, it sounded like she dresses up in a Star Wars, then a POTC, and now HSM costume.

And with that they can really do some damage as to attract small children to them.

Maybe just shirts and such. Anyone can wear apparel of shows they are fans of.

She only dresses up on SW weekends. She carries a lunchbox with all of her fan photos (magazine cutouts, etc.) and usually wears a t-shirt of her favorite du jour.

Exactly! Did you hear the story about how they kicked a guy out of the MK, because he was dressed like and acting like Santa?

I thought that he was just wearing a red shirt but had a real white beard so children naturally believed he was. Of course, he didn't shoo them away either.

Why is that people have such issues with these things?

A couple of problems. Since he is not a CM, he could cause problems by being mean or short with some little kid who dosn't know the difference between a CM at the park and a guest.

Also, I hate to bring it up, but pedophiles put themselves in a position that they are around children, and find ways to make the children feel comfortable around them.

Not saying thats the case, but in this day and age, I would not encourage my children, or anyone elses to feel "off-guard" around someone that has seemed to go out of their way to resemble a known "safe adult figure" (Santa).

Whats the first thing that is said when a pedophile is arrested? "why he/she is such a nice person, they even offerred to babysit/coach a sports team/tutor etc. etc,"

Sad but true, these are the times we live in.

The situation with "Santa" was not that he looked like Santa, but that he was telling kids he WAS Santa when they asked. This was at Epcot during the holiday celebration, and Santa was already in the park. He was asked to stop and his answer was that he could tell them he was Santa if it made them happy and Disney couldn't do anything about it. Disney disagreed and did something about it, so kids wouldn't be confused by two different Santas.
