It's been several years since we've seen the Magic Kingdom nighttime fireworks - does Tinkerbell still fly down from the top of the castle?
 
It is pretty weather sensitive though. Any rain or too much wind and good chance she won’t fly. But otherwise, always a crowd favorite.
 

They don’t seem to do Tinkerbell’s kiss at park close anymore.

She did in October. You can even see her from California Grill.
 
If she feels unsafe in anyway she can opt not to fly, wind, rain, safety check issue etc etc.

But I believe they do everything possible to have her fly
 
Stand over on the bridge to Tomorrow Land.
Very clearly a living (and moving) human being
Male or Female is pretty impossible to discern though ;)
Is there a chance that a child who has known Tinkerbelle as female character would see this performer and perceive it to be a male?

No. It’s impossible to tell. It’s dark and the performer is dressed as tinker bell basically zip lining above your head quickly. She just looks like tinker bell. We always stand on the Tomorrowland bridge to watch the fireworks (just because we prefer being out of the main crowd) and my 3 year old tinker bell loving daughter is ecstatic every time because “it’s tinker bell mommy!!” You can’t see their face. You can only see a light up costume and a wand on a human figure essentially. We watch from the closest spot you can get to her and you can’t tell.
 
Oh, I missed it! I watched but didn’t see her. I will watch it again.
It really depends on which version you watch. We watched the first Christmas party fireworks last night and she did not fly that night. Guessing it was due to the wet, windy conditions.

She’s generally hard to miss both because of her bright lights but also because the crowd normally erupts with excitement!
