Email address for Disney Guest relations? Odd experience with an Eeyore character

[daisax]

What's the point of yelling innuendos across the street at a woman walking by? Is there an expectation that she'll be flattered and come over and go out on a date?

read this whole thing and keep wondering how did he get to her bra? i believe she said he put his fingers under her bra strap and since i am assuming she had clothes on and he had a giant furry paw on how did he do it . it just seems it would be very difficult for him to do something like that without who ever was taking the picture or any one else seeing something was amiss...( not saying i don't believe her nor do i think she is necessarily blowing it out of proprtion ect.. i know both things happen (inapproproate touching)but also something can get "embellished" in our minds ) but like i said I'm not there so who knows. her letter was fine, it made her feel better and if there is a creepy nut running around in an eeyore( think it was eeyore wasn't it) costume hopefully, something will done about it

I'm amazed at the focus on Erin's sports bra!

1) If she felt the character rubbing under it,
after moving it, then I believe her.

2) I understand Erin's motivation clearly,
and it has nothing to do with her bra,
it has to do with her YOUNG DAUGHTER.
Others here have simply hung onto the "touching" complaint,
completely ignoring the catalyst to Erin wanting
to make sure Disney knew about the entire situation,
which is that her daughter found the character creepy.
Erin took her DH's advice and didn't say anything while there,
but was appropriately upset when she found out that her
young daughter didn't like the same experience.
Erin has been forced to defend herself,
and to those who make it seem that if you can't stand the heat,
stay off the DIS Boards, well - one of you has said, "That's it, I'm done."
That tells me that some of the postr's here can't stand the heat they create!

I AM feelin' pretty sorry I mentioned the bra

There was "time" for all this to occur, because the 9 yo DD couldn't get the camera on, then she couldn't focus it, then she couldn't decide on whether to do it sideways or lengthways...

I would like to suggest that perhaps we cease debating whether I'm making it up or am an accurate reporter, and just wait and see how Disney responds, which will be interesting to some following the thread. So far, I got the stock email response which tells me they'll be "in touch if followup is needed."

Erin, if you felt uncomfortable & your kids felt uncomfortable then you had to let Disney know. Sorry it had to happen at all & let us know what Disney response is.

Yes, I agree.

We have a family story about one of the dwarfs rubbing my sisters butt during a family picture (she was 14). I know it's hard to see and maneuver in those costumes, but according to her, he did it the whole time they posed! She never told us til he was gone (she was humiliated!) and we didn't do anything about it, but to this day we all think of the dwarves as perverts! (all dwarves must pay for one naughty one! )

I just want to reply to the comment people keep making about the kissing noises: At almost every character meal or greeting I've been to, I've had atleast one character make kissing noises to me or to whomever I am with. I did not think they were all that uncommon. They weren't done in a manner to make me feel uncomfortable, it was more like they came over to our table and gave everyone a "kiss" hello or farewell. On my last trip, Pluto apparently took a liking to me and kept coming over to my table and making the kissing noises. I don't know, I never take offense, I think it's cute, as long as they are not like groping you or do anything else inappropriate, I don't see the big deal.

lfama--
don't know if you've waded through all the posts; my issue with the "kiss noise" was that it was "secret" --along with the "laugh" directed just to me--it was the "guy in the costume"--not the Eeyore character making it.

Minnie "kissed" my daughter with kissing noises, and it was a different experience entirely. There should be different words, in fact, for the 2.

Erin- Finally, I got through all these posts!! I think you were right in reporting this. In High School, I had an Ewok (sp?) make me very uncomfortable and I still won't go near them!- That's been almsot 15 years, too. So, to report it is right, especially for your daughter- she needs to know it's ok to stand up for herself when something doesn't feel right. Good for you!

Oh, no, I understood that, but other people were replying saying they don't think characters should make kissing noises (implying I suppose that it is out of character or something), so I was commenting on that.

Sorry that this has happened to you. I am hopeful that Disney will deal with this CM. You should not have something like this happen to you and your family in WDW. If it felt weird to you and your children that is the issue. Hope you post their response.

We are all on the boards because we love the "happiest place on earth." Yet, some are so quick to judge. I am sorry that you had this experience.

This actually isn't the first time I've hear someone say that a character made "kissing" noises, so I wonder if those are really that uncommon.

Mickey kisses me all of the time. When he does it he is usually kissing me on the top of the head. I love when he does it.

While I haven't read all the postings on this thread, I have read many.

I don't understand why the debate. Erin apparently felt very uncomfortable because of the actions of this character, decided not to cause a scene at the time, and wrote a letter to Disney to express her concerns. I think the e-mail she sent was to the point, not dramatized and not threatening.

These characters interact with children all the time. Making Disney aware of her experience was the responsible thing to do.

We have been going to CP for a meal every time we are at MK and thank God we have not experience such act. You did the right thing foir reporting. Not only for adults concern but most esp'ly for kids since kids are very impressionable. Keep us posted on what Disney say.

Enough is enough.
