They don't go by age (if you're old enough to work). They go by height.

16 sounds too young to be hired.
But, for information of character heights, you may want to check here.

16 is the minimum age to be hired in entertainment!

 

[joanna71985]

That's right (I couldn't rememeber if it was 16 or 18). Now it just depends on how tall you are. How tall are you, btw?

 

[actingkid]

im about 5"5' or 5"6'
thanks!!!!!!1

I've always been interested in being a character. I even want to work at Disney full-time in entertainment. I'm friends with a lot of entertainment CMs at the MK, and they helped me make up my mind to be a character.

sorry you are to tall fora mouse. you're a munk.

The only fur character in tarzan at WDW is Terk, she's 5'0-5'2

You're 5'4 - 5'6... that's a bad height range to be in. If you're 5'4, you are a TALL chipmunk. 5'5, Mr. Smee and a few other random characters, 5'6 is Pluto and your best bet at getting in.

My suggestion... you're 16, grow for 1 more year, learn to type/use proper grammar. and you should be set.

Give him more time than a year. Guys mature slower than girls.

Actingkid, I say you wait until you're in college- then try the college program. If you try to do entertainment when you're 16, then there's a good chance you'll be very much in the minority.

LOL, I have no problem with anyone in my department...it just seems there are a lot of posts lately about being in entertainment and no one uses the search button. Plus this kid does need to grow up a little...

haha! Can't speak for everyone, but I just always wanted to work there, and I've been on stage most my life, so why not? :king:

 

[brittany3]

[joanna71985]

I believe they start around 5'5.

 

[WDWKat26]
