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

[Dizz(n)ey]

After reading all of these posts, and reading about Disney characters.....

I have decided next time I goto the MK I am going to place my hand on Cinderella's bum during a photo.....but I am going to wear some of those giant Mickey gloves so I can just say HEY I DIDN'T FEEL A THING if she gets mad

 

[WedwayRocks]

You assume that just because I post after you that I am referring to you. Many people through out this thread have judged her and questioned her.

My mistake then, but I am sure you were referring to my posts even though you probably wouldn't admit it.

What would he gain from playing with your bra and "rubbing" your back

Let's see....Eeyore could gain a lawsuit, a black eye from someone's husband, dismissal from his job. The "benefits" are endless. The hot moms need to refrain from pictures with the characters because the characters just can't help themselves. They NEED to touch you inappropriately in front of cameras.

Maybe my wife will let me wear the Mickey hands at CRT?

If you look at post #58 you will see that I am already jumping to Erin's defense and supporting her. I feel really bad for her right now. She did not come forward with the details until everyone asked her to and now all she is doing is defending herself.

Please, she came on here to talk about it. Do you really think that this is the only place to find out contact information? Disney is one of, if not the largest, corporation in the world and the only place to find contact information is on a disney forum on the internet? You know as well as I, that she came on here to talk about it. She knew that people were going to want to know, and if she really didn't want to talk about it then she wouldn't have said anything. I'm not naive enough to think that her only intention was to come on here for contact information.

Also, you speak of this as if it is some kind of traumatic experience. Aren't we all being a little dramatic and blowing this out of proportion?

You've never been sexually harrassed or assaulted have you?

 

[WedwayRocks]

By the definition of "sexual harrassment", yes, i get sexually harassed everyday by women in the office that I work with that say inappropriate comments to me on a daily basis. Does is make me uncomfortable, yes it does. But am I a big enough of a person to look pass it. Yes, because I'm an adult, and adults do not make decisions based on emotions (but unfortuanately that isn't always the case). In this situation, the decision that was made was based on emotions, there was no hard facts that would lead anyone, that was thinking in a logical and un-emotional manner, to react the way the OP did. If this had been a face character, and he had touched her the way she was describing with bare hands, then I agree, something should have been said. But it wasn't, it happened with a clumsy costume that are famously known to be hard to see and feel out of. How can you possibly come to the determination that he was trying to get a cheap feel, especially with someone taking her picture, in a crowded restaurant, with her family all around (including her husband!).

I can tell you haven't been on the Dis that long.

Are things often dramaticized and blown out of proportion?

WOW!

Erin, I am so sorry that I have added to what you have gone through.

What does that mean? This has nothing to do with you.

It just fills my heart with good cheer to realize that people working in similar positions at the Walt Disney Company may, in fact, have a winning attitude just like yours!

I think what he was looking for is something along the lines of:

Eeyore felt us up and made inappropriate noises, please advise, Erin (phone number here)



Seriously, Erin, great letter to WDW and I'm sorry that happened to your family. If others don't want to read your explanation, I suggest they skip the thread. In fact, I would also point out that you did not post the full incident in your OP, so apparently the totally uninterested "get to the point guy" read several pages into it before complaining.

As for his former job...it was his job to totally depersonalize the situation and find a solution. The rest of us have a different job: to be human and describe incidents such as this one the way we recall them, in as much or as little detail as we feel necessary to make our point (which won't always be the same as the point he appears to want us to get to, and quickly)!

I think the OP's reactions and letter were very sensibly presented and I hope at minimum it alerts Disney to something "not quite right" so that if there's a pattern it can be acted on sooner rather than later.

As for not being able to feel things through the costumes -- flashers don't make physical contact either -- it's all about making their victims feel uncomfortable. The anonymity granted by costumes is going to be attractive to a certain kind of jerk, if not outright pervert. Copping a feel isn't the only kind of thrill some people get off on.

We all know the "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck..." saying. This was not just a touch. It was a touch, a squeeze, and a whole inappropriate soundtrack. Telling the OP that the costume's constraints make her reaction to the experience as a whole irrational is offensive.

 

[WedwayRocks]

Alright, well I am done. It's pointless trying to reason with irrational people. Just stating another opinion and if that is offensive well then I guess I'll continue offending. What an awful way to go through life, not being open-minded enough to see the otherside of things.

Some of us would not call it "being a big person" to endure daily sexual harassment which makes you uncomfortable. I personally would call it poor judgment and evidence that you don't feel you deserve better. Not flaming, just saying what I think about that!

Adults most certainly DO make decisions based on emotions, either wholly or in part. I stay at home with my son now, but up until October I had been in the mental health field for years, and I can assure you this is the case. Even emotionally healthy people allow a place for emotion in their daily decision-making. I can't imagine why you'd hold the opinion that enduring daily sexual harassment is better than the entirely reasonable reaction of the OP, and her completely acceptable handling of the situation.

 

[DeeCeeSW]

Not worth the trouble...(commenting on this absurdity that is, not reporting the incident to Disney).

If I had not been defending her your arrogant remarks would not have come out.

 

[daisax]

I don't think there's any reason to go off the deep end. Eeyore crossed a line, and it was not just a physical line but a verbal one. It had a bad resonance to it even to a child involved (though this wasn't apparent at that moment).

A stray brush of a paw against a body part -- of course that could be accidental. The combination of the numerous things she described -- not so likely to be coincidental. Even if it was meant as some kind of "innocent" joke -- not as likely when it was also made (verbally) to the child. And even if it was innocent from the point of view of the character -- it was against the rules for the character to "laugh" in any fashion anyway.

I think most of us have shrugged off "iffy" comments from one stranger or another in our time. If equivalent questionable behavior happens in the presence of children, however, it takes on a whole other vibe.

If he can't see what he is doing

If he can't feel what he is doing


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PLAYING WITH SOMEONES SPORTS BRA

Even if he moved his hand out of the paw, and started moving it around
Did he really think he was going to get the bra to fall off

Even so...HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING!!!!
