Does Disney tell its characters to do different things?

So I was reading the following, and I was wondering. During the cast classes, do they teach you and tell you to do certain stuff?


"Characters—(1) If you see a human character, like Mary Poppins, ask them a question about their movie and they go right into character. I had Mary doing supercalifragilistic backwards! Kiss all the female "non-human hands" and watch their reaction. (2) During the morning session about 15 min. before Buzz and Woody are scheduled to come out, the Army men come out in their Jeep and do a preshow. They choose 8-9 kids that were there early to line up. They had them shout their names and handed them weapons. Buzz and Woody made their appearance for a group photo with all of them. (3) Cinderella comes into the downstairs lobby of "Cinderella's Royal Table" restaurant a few times a day, and you don't have to eat your meal there. (4) The characters at the Fairy Tale Favorites line at the Toontown Hall of Fame change on the hour, but the Mickey's Friends and Pooh Friends are the same all the time. Go late in the hour, come out, and jump back in line for the top the hour. Some characters might pop out from behind the Judges Tent."

What happens when you kiss a characters hand?



Also, how does the rolling trashcan work!? Robotics? How does it stop at the guests?

I'm not sure about what happens when you kiss a princess's hand. I never really thought about doing it or seen anyone try it. Though I imagine they blush and act embarrassed....

As for PUSH the trash can.... I think I'll preserve the Magic on that one, but I will say that youtube holds a few interesting videos...;)

I'd rather know the magic behind the magic;)

Nevermind

Tbh. I'm sad now haha :P
 
Remember to keep the magic ... nobody is "playing" Mickey Mouse, that really IS Mickey Mouse, and so, of course, when you ask him about one of his cartoons, he's going to react in character, because he was there, he didn't just watch the cartoon, he IS the cartoon.

And there's only 1 Mickey Mouse. He's just been around since the park opened, and he's very good at getting from place to place quickly ;)

Thank you, very few people on here think only current and prospective CPs read this. Come on now, it's pretty common sense what we do, going around and sharing it with everyone makes things feel less magical. Even if it doesn't for you, it does for others...
 
One time a guest said to me, "I was just over at the Contemporary and saw Mickey there...now he is here, so how did he get here so fast?" And I said "Well Sir...how did YOU get here so fast?" :rotfl:
