∆∆∆∆this x a million∆∆∆∆I can't say whether plus-sized dancers are well-represented when it comes to live entertainment -- I just haven't happened to take notice of that either way -- but I've seen plus-sized CMs in just about every other job description at WDW, including character "minders." (With respect to the college program, know that participants often are assigned to work multiple types of jobs -- my friend who used to appear as two of the costumed characters also was assigned weekly shifts in WDW food service and retail.) Regardless, there's no reason to let your build discourage you from applying -- or frankly, from doing anything you want to do, ever.
For fur characters as long as the performer can fit in the costume and animate the character as required, size and shape doesn’t matter. Saying that, Disney College Program is a gamble and you cannot select your role, it’s up to the Labor Management gods. It is possible to be a character performer on DCP, but dancers are usually permanent cast members. Chances are also high you could be a character attendant. Hope this helps!
No. He didn't.
But other folks at the company did.
Sorry... In my haste I had forgotten that that quote long attributed to Walt has been debunked. I stand corrected and corrected my post. However the OP should still be advised to follow her dreams.No. He didn't.
And while I can't speak offhand to WDW, I can add that DLR does have plus-sized dancers in shows and parades.
And I wish the OP the best of luck in following their dreams.
Pretty much correct
