As I read this, I realized that yes, you can have security escort them out of the park. But I have become so used to this, that I have just taken it as part of my job. In the beginning it bother me, but some managers just don't do anything so I have just learned to walk off when the last family is done. I simply don't even bother to look back and leave them off screaming to themselves.
I agree. I remember one time when I was working with Pooh at Pooh's Playground. There was a lady and her daughter interfering with the line and the guests taking pictures (which was closed, as it was the end of the night). I kindly explained to her that she couldn't do that, and she proceeded to let loose a string of curses. I have a feeling the mother whose daughters were meeting with Pooh was more shocked then me.

As a friend of a character, I do not have good vision, I am in confining clothes, and I must rely on my attendants to keep me safe. When guests crowd around us like that, it can be very claustrophobic, especially because we cannot see everybody and where their hands and feet are. All of us have been physically assaulted at one point, and having guests crowd around you like that without knowing their intentions is not a comfortable feeling.

Hearing those types of things make me really mad. As a guest who goes to the parks often I won't put up with other guests hurting or assaulting the characters. I also think any guest that purposely assaults a Disney character should be banned from ever stepping on any Disney property again and charges pressed.


As far as the Disney character fans that come there often, I feel many of them are harmless and would not do anything to physically abuse or harm a character. However, I am not condoning some of their actions towards the characters. I am a huge character fan, Joanna can atest to that, but there's a difference in being a true fan and crossing the line and behaving in a rude and inapropriate way. It shouldn't matter if you're at WDW or not, I think people should treat others the way they would want to be treated, but obviously that doesn't happen all the time.

Gah! It's hard to talk about it appropriately. I try to be at least somewhat subtle, but it seems I always trip up eventually. C'es la vie.

I'm actually ruined on cheesecake now! I didnt like it much to begin with, and after hearing "Minnie has to go check on her cheesecake" or "Mickey has to go get a slice of Minnie's cheesecake" multiple times a day, I can't stand the stuff!

Pooh should have just approached the child and put his hands over her ears. It ain't the kid's fault, it's mom's.
