That was my thought, if you don't cover your face, what is the harm?

The problem is guest confusion. Kids will see someone dressed like a character and immediately want to see them up close. What happens is the costumed person, who obviously has a "look at me" situation going anyway, will play along. Disney has neither briefed, trained or cleared that individual for those encounters. Anything can happen ranging from OK, everything is fine, to OMG look what just happened. So unless it is a special occasion like the Halloween party they do not allow adults in costume in the parks.

No it's been in the works since Paris. I'm a bit upset about not being able to go Disney bounding

You could probably do a little Disney bounding, as long it doesn't look to much like a costume. It is too bad about no costumes for 14+ for Halloween parties. I personally don't like dressing in costume, but costumes are kind of the heart of Halloween.

The Wiz is basically a two hour statement of the times and it is fabulous. I think you really have to see it to understand. They take jungle monkeys who are kind of comical, pathetic characters in WOZ and turn them into kickass warriors.

I don't think they were saying that WOZ was trying to belittle anyone. I think they were using those characters to make a statement about society and reclaim power for the oppressed.

Like I said, I don't think it was about being politically correct at all. A lot of the musical could actually be taken as offensive. It pushes the envelope, especially for that time period.

I was just a little kid but already in Catholic Primary school when I remember so many people from my extended family whaling on my oldest cousin. He had bought a record. I had no clue what they were all so upset about. "Jesus Christ SuperStar." Obviously the big people in my life found it offensive.

I hope Walmart didn't charge extra shipping because they divided it up into so many packages!!! Where I work, we have to try to get it all into ONE package. Sometimes it's not possible, like if someone orders 10 pairs of shoes or 6 winter coats, but I don't think we've ever had to use more than 2 boxes for an order!!

Sometimes all my Amazon stuff comes in one box and sometimes with Prime I can get 7 boxes in a day, all delivered separately.

We have some older systems still around here but my kids were never really gamers. They have not bought a new system in a very long time. So glad when they were not on any wish list anymore. It reminded me of desk top computers for a while when they were obsolete before they were close to their RIP time. Obsolescence by design is so irritating no matter what type of product it is.
