Man Arrested for Allegedly Groping a Face Character in WDW

[Chef Mickey]

Why only men and not women? Have you seen how women paw some of the male face characters?

I’m a guy and Support this too.

This is not at all enforced. I see it all the time And have insider info it’s not being followed.

I've seen both the character attendant CM and the female face character politely move a male's hand/arm from her shoulder, waist, arm.

Respect has no gender. Everybody should give it.

I’m still trying to figure out how a man charged with battery against a Disney cm is suddenly a reason to ban adults from meeting face characters!

Sad pathetic individual however its also pretty sad how quick many posters jumped to adults shouldn't be allowed with characters mentality. Punish the offender not everyone partaking in said activity.

Looks like they already have a new permanent meet and greet area ready for face characters:

Where's he hiding!? I aint ever seen him!

Though my cousin saw him in China once. She said to her friend "whoa, that guy over there looks exactly like Keanu Reeves" then he said "that's because I am" and gave them a wink before returning to his bao bun.

He apparently rides the metro regularly. Don't ask me which line.

Because we are in the culture of extreme over reaction. Someone does something you don't like...stop everyone else from doing it
Someone says something you don't like....stop everyone else from saying it. Someone posts something you don't like....boycott them or fire them.

And Disney is kind of like that as well. A few guests complain and they change something that most other guests liked...unless there's money to be made then guest complaints be damned.

It’s not a question of the right thing happening frequently. It‘s not good enough at this point.

So what are you suggesting? No adults can meet characters? If I pay $50 for breakfast am I able to ask aerial for an autograph?

Of course, but you can't touch her.

Yeah, one drunk climbs a pyramid, now no one is allowed to climb a pyramid.

Yes, everyone must keep a minimum 6" clearance from the characters. Should make for some heartwarming photos.

The toilet paper is a nice touch. Keepin' it classy.

Fun pictures? I always question the motives of adults that want to pose with any Disney character.

Why??? Please explain to me how it’s wrong for me to have my photo with Mary Poppins or why it’s right to judge me for doing so?

Am I allowed to pose for a photo in front of a princess castle?

So I can’t pose with Darth Vader or Kylo Ren or Chewbacca? If I do then what are my motives that you question?

[Da Bird is Da Word]

Uh I don’t see the problem with adults meeting characters. And I put my arm around a few of the princesses on my trip a couple months back. I didn’t realize it was against the rules? Maybe they didn’t say anything cuz I’m a charming young guy? Some of the princesses did suggest a folded arms pose—maybe part of the reason they do this is to do discourage touching? I can see them really cracking down on this moving forward. Leave it to creepy old pervs to ruin everything.

I read this one story about a man sexually molesting his daughter. I now question the motives of all adult males going to WDW with their daughters. Why would they want to sleep in the same room? Ban it, says I. Adults who go to WDW with kids shouldn't be trusted - it's a proven fact that underage women are more in danger from relatives than strangers.
