Keeping The Magic Alive
One of the main reasons why people travel across the world to visit a Disneyland park is to see the Disney characters in the flesh. While adults know that they are just cast members in costumes, the magic of these parks is the reason that children believe them to be the real deal.
To keep this magic alive, the cast members are not allowed to take off their costumes while in front of guests – no matter how hot it gets. Even if it’s the height of summer and the cast members feel ill, they cannot take their heads off or take any layers off just in case it could spoil the illusion.
While this is great for the children, there have been many cast members over the years who have had to simply throw up in their costume heads because the heat and the lack of fresh air became all too much for them.
