Unlocking the Magic: Disney Parks' Secrets (and Rules) Revealed

Disney-bounding

Disney-bounding is the art of creating everyday outfits that are inspired by Disney Characters using their colour palettes and key accessories, rather then wearing a full costume 

This is probably because for people 14 and over we can't real full costumes in the parks expect for Oggie Boogie Bash or Mickey's-Not-So-Scary Halloween.  So this is a way to semi-get around that.  Because if 14 and overs were also dresses as movie characters  both kids and also adutls could get confused over who's a Cast Member and who isn't.  You wouldn't want Cinderella, or Capitan America Swearing now? 

Signatures 

So let's say I went to Walt Disney World Today (or any Disney Park in the world where Mary Poppins and Snow White could be found) and I wanted to get to signatures from Snow White and Mary Poppins.   Their signatures would be same as the Cast Members who "were friends with" (ie Played) Snow White & Mary Poppins in 1997.   So 28 years ago.  

Rules for Cast Members "friends" with Princesses

Cast Members who are Princesses when they're in character they have to pretend not to do what SpongeBob is or who Belle is (Or Belle has to pretend not to know who Cinderella or Ariel, or Snow White or Rapunzel is) .  Also let's say someone is "friends" with Rapunzel  when they're playing Rapunzel,  even if it's their 430,520, 330,  220   time seeing a cell phone,  they have to act like it's their first time seeing it.    They also can't eat in their costumes so if they want to eat or drink something they have to change into normal clothes and then only have 10mins to get food and get it back "backstage"

Trash Rule: 

Every single Cast member at the parks, from janitors, all the way to face characters have to  pick up trash but for the Atmosphere Characters  and Face characters they have to make it look like they're not picking up trash.  So if you go to a Disney Park and you see Peter Pan do a weird spin, it's probably because he's has picked up trash. 

Hugging Rule

Every Cast member, Janitor, thru Face Characters  have to stay in a hug that a guest has iniated until the guest has stopped the interaction.
