Can people from Europe or other countries apply to become characters?

I like the idea of becoming a character and I was wondering if somebody from the UK could apply?

Thanks:wave:

 

[nanna]

yes, if you are on the summer international college progral, the 6 month J1 academic program in conjuction with UCF, or the year long academic program in conjuction with CMU then, providing they need people in that role, then you can apply.

conversely thanks to the EU, you could be a character at DLRP

i would never want to be a meet n greet character at DLRP. they hhave no queing system and the attendants just take a back seat. the characters are surrounded by guests all shoving autopgraph books in their faces and crushing them against walls and fences!

It'll be much easier w/ a red passport to work at DLRP than it ever would at WDW.

Aye I know, but i hate DLRP, its not so much the place itself its how unorganised it is with the characters.

ahh,

see in WDW we actually enjoy that disorganization. It makes for surprise appearances

 

[Alexx]

So it is possible for me to become a character at WDW then?

I have already answered your question!

I know, I was just making sure:lol:

mkt nailed it- it's called freedom, and it's a big reason that I'll probably go to DLR instead of WDW once I finish school

Yes, thats true, but i'd rather have people stand in an organised line than just let the kids run up and push in and yes it does happen as i've seen it.

I know it happens :animwink: but it will happen whether there's an organized line or not! However, if the character has freedom to roam wherever they please, they can simply walk away from snotty kids

The only difference in WDW, is that when you try to leave you get grabbed, tripped and then when you're on the ground you have things shoved in your face (i.e. Kids, Books) while being screamed at.

I do prefer the average DLR guest over the average WDW guest.

Listen you little whiner, it was only a little pen and if you'd stayed on the ground where I tripped you and if you hadn't moved, I wouldn't have poked you in the eye. Also, I wasn't screaming, I was speaking so as to be heard.

I thought it was very cruel/mean/un-Disney-like/not magical that you wouldn't let my 5 year old child in to see you when your line had 'supposedly' been closed. The make up was already half melted off your face princess, what would a couple more minutes have mattered? And as for the Beast/Mushu/Dopey, I know they have airconditioning in those costumes.....

End sarcasm.

Seriously, if I hear one more parent tell me how cruel I am to say no to their child seeing their supposedly favorite character at the end of the day, I may get rude. How cruel is it to ask for more time from, for example, a princess, whose make up is melting off her face, who is using her sleeves, cape, apron, etc to mop up the drops of sweat rolling down her face? And she can breathe real air and has air moving under her dress unlike her furry friend whose eyes are burning because the sweat is dripping in his eyes.

If that character was that important, you would have been there earlier in the day.

Tell me about it. That's the one thing that really irks me as an attendant.

do you have an tips on how to deal with this kinda situation (kids screaming and crying because you closed the line, or parents shouting at you for not letting them in line) for new Character Attendants?

Say, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir/madam" and let them know if the character will be coming back. If not, there's nothing you can do. A lot of attendants say, "If I let you in, I also have to let in other guests that I turned away". I'm just glad I don't have to hear it anymore.
