Disney Point

Another rule that cast members need to follow is that they should always utilize the “Disney Point,” if they are ever going to point guests in the direction of an attraction or park. While this is something the cast members are known for, originally cast members of the park were actually taught this from the man himself.

Walt Disney considered pointing with one finger to be extremely rude, and he knew that there were many cultures in the world that also deemed it as such. He would always point with two fingers – but it seems as though this may have also been the result of airbrushing.

As someone who spent much of his life as a smoker, Disney would make his way around the parks and point at things with a cigarette in his hand. Because the parks didn’t want to promote smoking, they airbrushed it out, so it heightened his two-finger point even more.
