[SagamoreBeach]

So you're saying that every Tink who has flown during Wishes has been female?

Maybe a twink?

Everything we were told as children was a lie! Next I'm guessing your going to tell me that Mickey Mouse isn't a real mouse or something.....geez

BHAHAHAH I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!


Side note: Is Mickey sometimes a female or just a really short guy?

More ruining stuff...I was working at MK several years ago and in the utilidors (the tunnels under MK) I saw a taller Mickey, Minnie and a shorter Mickey, all arm in arm skipping down the hallway...it was funny

I was down there once on a tour- saw Grumpy. He was a she and carrying their head. The therapy has helped, but it wasn't cheap.

 

[GrammieBee]

Does this qualify as a gender bender?

 

[JIMINYCR]

Only when He/She wants to be...

Now thats one M&G I'd never stand in line for.

Tink flying is also considered Stunt work - another reason it is often a man is you need certain stunt training.

The criteria for Tink in Wishes is a very narrow window. Height and weight are very important factors. Too heavy? Over shoot landing which is likely an injury. Too light? Get stranded along the line.

Believe it or not nearly anyone with the proper criteria can do it so long as they are not afraid of heights. The harness is fairly straight-forward. They are classed near the same as the dive performers during HHN.

@George took it very well.

He took the news much better, at any rate, than the actual flying. The first time he got so scared he tinkled his pants, rendering him the backstage nickname of Tinklebell.

Well, it is better than the nickname I got after I got super nervous made number twos during the fly over.

Both

For me, this is like the day I learned Santa wasn't real.

 

[copcarguyp71]

Tink is not a man, guy, dude, bloke, gent, fella or XY. I wish this rumor would just die. It's insulting to the people who are friends with Tink.

So now we know what Jimmy has been doing since he left here

STILL not a Jimmy Thick fan!

Guest relations said it was just bird droppings from the egrets my family was covered with.

No big deal, these are "Mickey" these are his cousins... Kinda like Santa and his elves...

 

[aladdin2007]

I always wondered how many tinks they have for that stunt position,, and what they get paid, it cant be their only role?
I am also surprised they still do it, you know fine well georgie, holmes, and TDO would love to cut it, but I sure hope they never do as there is really nothing else like it.
