A few of my old CM friends used to tell me that they would make faces under the masks....it helps them get thru the day

I can't imagine NOT making the faces! How could you truly act suprised if you weren't "acting suprised allover? or happy, or embarrased, or...............

what people in the costumes. Theres no people in those costumes. in fact there not even costumes. that really is Mickey, and Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, etc. I'm not sure what your talking about.:animwink:

I always thought about that too!!

disney characters are 100% real... but as an actor, I can tell you, that any emotion I portray, is reflected EVERYWHERE on my body.. If I'm happy, there will be a spring to my step and a smile on my face.

Character

I have not been a Disney Character but was a college mascot. I know it always made it easier to play my part to make the faces even though you could not see them. The smile or frown or suprise on your face makes it easier to translate it to your body.

When i first started whenever people took pictures I always smiled. Kind of out of habit, even though I knew no one could see me I always forgot because I could see them so I always acted the emotion I was trying to portray. Except on really bad days or with people that were really rude, then I'd stick my tongue out or make gross faces when I took pictures. That'll show them to be mean!

I know that if I was in one of those costumes, I would be smiling...just working at WDW would be a permanant smile on my face.

When you're acting, you become that character, at least while you're on stage. I'll bet the Disney characters are no exception. (I always did worry about those truly hot days - no matter how well-ventilated the costume, and how short the character's time "on stage," it has to be tough to carry on!)

Interesting, I Always wondered about it, I'm Not sure but I think they do.

YES WE DO SMILE......

Well I was never blessed enough to be mickey...but I was could enough to be a sparky!! A dog that represented fire safty! It was funny....I smiled when the teacher said everyone smile...I guess it is habit!

Do we smile

yes we do or at least my best friend that plays Goofy does. He really loves kids.

The only sad thing he told me once was when a small boy was pushed up to him in a wheel chair, it was very evident that the child had some form of cancer, he was weak but had a large smile on his face.

My friend took the time to not only take a picuture to play with the little boy for a few minutes.

The sad part was he knew by the way he looked he probably wasn't long for this world.

He said that tears were running down his cheeks.

I told him to think of this way, he brought a ray of happiness into that little boy's life.
