Cast Members on the Magic

[MarcyIn Florida]

Does anyone know whether al of the CMs in the shows sing live, or do any of them lip sync? During the Hercules show (which I love more than I can describe), Meg sounded so much like the movie Meg when she sang that I was almost convinced she wasn't really singing. I'm failry sure she was, but her voice was so close to the original that it was mind boggling.

Also, does anyone know if she also plays Belle? That is one beautiful woman, and my dh was sad to see that there was no Meg present on the last big character night.

And two quick CM stories that crack me up:

-- There is a CM in the Oceaneers Club named Ariel -- he is a man. My 4 year old dd tortured him for 4 days, because she kept calling him "Boy Ariel" and "the Ariel who can't be the Little Mermaid because he has a [insert word for male anatomy]". That poor guy; I hope they have therapy available after they deal with the 4 year olds.

-- My youngest (who is 1 and a half) was terrified of the characters, although she grew to love a few of the smaller ones. On day 4, we were in the elevator and Goofy got on with us. I was holding her, and I felt her recoil when she saw him. Poor Goofy probably couldn't see her fear, and he touched her to say hi. When he reached for her, she got so scared that she pooped herself -- explosively. As if the noise wasn't bad enough, Goofy was then stuck in an elevator for 6 floors with us and a screaming, smelly baby, and a mother who was laughing so hard that I couldn't speak. Poor Goofy.

We were talking to one of the CM's on the 9/27 cruise and he was telling me that his girlfriend was a real live princess...when I inquired all I got was that she wears yellow!!!! Gee, who could that be!!!

Oh my goodness sakes Marcy ~ how funny!!! Thanks for sharing your *crack up's* ~ I needed a giggle today!!

Sorry to hear that your little one was so afraid of the character's. I think a good majority of little one's have a fear of them.

Marcy --- thank you so much.

I can see the new Bank One Visa ad:
Disney Cruise $ 10,900
New swimsuit $ 60
Look on Goofy's face --- priceless

Oh, Marcy, this made me laugh so much. I can just see the picture. What a fun memory for you, if not for Goofy.

I should probably mention that she is in diapers, so while it was loud and smelly, no one was injured in the process.

They do sing live... I'm not sure about Belle. I'm on the Magic next week and as my brother is a cm I'll find out for you and post while I'm there or when I get back.

You think you have a story what about poor Goofy when he goes back to crew quarters! Mickey and Minnie will be laughing! I would think the CM's also have a few of those stories to share!

 

[lbgraves]

Thanks so much for sharing that with us Marcy!!! I REALLY needed a laugh right now.

Hey Marcy, that was soooooooooooo funny!

The cast does sing live, but they also use what are called musical sweeteners for some of the numbers, ones where the entire cast isn't miked. They still sing, but the volume comes from the sound tracks. The solos are all live, one way to tell is the occasional static that comes across on the head sets.

We love the showes as well and Hurc, was especially funny this time. This was our first chance to see the Golden Mickey's, man that was phenominal, and my youngest was one of the dwarfs!

This was also our first Golden Mickeys -- my daughter is still talking about it, even though our show was interrupted for technical difficulties (the matinee). But Hercules WAS hilarious, and we got some great pictures with the cast on the last day!
