Tink is *very* real 
She is not a "cutout", or "plastic", or a "dummy", or an "animatronic". She is, indeed, a very real Pixie (Scroll down for spoiler...)
-------------------------------------------
Yes, folks, Tink is a real Cast Member who makes the flight for the fireworks. She "lands" over the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station. I have met and talked to "Tink" on more than one occasion after working my parade shifts on Main Street, and take my trainees back there to at least see her come down the stairs/ladder when she's done.

Next time you are in the MK, look up at the castle. If you look closely, you'll see a wire going from one of the uppermost turrets down to one of the Tomorrowland rooftops. Tinkerbell (a real, live gymnist) attaches herself to the wire and glides down at the appropriate time in the show. Rain, lightning, or wind will stop Tink from flying for the night.bomberman said:

What are you guys talking about? That wire is for the cable so Prince Charming can get ESPN and Cinderella can get the Home and Garden Network......

It5s true. Tinker Bell is a real person, I know because my friend Grace "works with" her during the fireworks. She is in the tower of the castle, there are 3-4 people who lean her forward and outward and 1 person (once I got to do it!) that un hooks her so she may take flight. Her costume is very sequin light, I really need her to explain this again but the thing of her costume "lighting up" is all an illusion the only lights on her are her wings.

For cable? I thought it was Charming's escape route when the step in-laws come over for a visit and to free load a bit.:lookaroun

Tinkerbell is a real person that flys down from the cable. I thought that was awesome how Disney did that.

Nope, DL's will not be coming to WDW.
Oh - and for all you so-called "Disney geeks": "Tinker Bell" is spelled just like that; two words, capital "T", capital "B".
