that explicitly says most roles are 18+, not all. i don't see anything on it about characters either.

Here's a couple of pictures of us with Tink. I'm not sure how tall she is or her weight...I'd guess about 4 inches and maybe 2.5 ounces.

TOO TRUE!

Characters is on a different website and yea I noticed that as well.And there is a good reason for that.By law you can't discriminate against age but you don't have to hire someone if you feel their too young.It's probably only on there for legal purposes.

federal age discrimination laws apply only to those 40+.

state laws mandate minimum age/hours for minors. in FL, you can start working at age 14.

Depending on what the job is.And unless WDW has a grocery store a 14 can't work there.And I really don't feel like arguing about this anymore.The point is I have never met a person working at Disney under the age of 18 and I doubt anyone that works there is.Too be honest in Florida(at least my county) no one under 18 is getting a job right now bc of the economy.

I agree, it's pointless to go back and forth like this, but i'm not even sure why you're bringing up a lot of it. first off, it's moot about a 14 year old because WDW posts the minimum age for the position in question is 16 although you insist it's 18, which is your prerogative, but it's neither the case, nor a question of the law because if they had to theoretically post a minimum of 16 for legal reasons (which they don't, but you insisted they did), then why post the age requirement at all? especially when it's above the age minimum to work in the state of FL?

so given that the position in question really does have an age minimum of 16, despite what you feel cast members' ages are (and if you really can accurately guess the age of a friend of Daisy for example, I will bow to your perception skills), it doesn't matter that the potential age minimum is 14. And while there are restrictions for a 14 and 15 year old to work in Florida (but being able to work only in grocery stores is NOT one of them), it's probably more likely that Disney doesn't wish to (a) entertain the additional restrictions and (b) insurance probably disallows anyone under the age of 16.

so bottom line, if Disney legally wanted to make the age minimum 18, they could. they could make it 25. that's their legal right to decide as age is not a protected status below 40. but it wouldn't make good business sense for them to do so.

and just as a matter of record, FL child labor laws: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/reg/childlabor/documents/childlaborposter0709.pdf

I remember taking my DD12 for her birthday. It was a family trip though. But anyways, she was wearing her birthday pin and everything. Fawn met her first, and asked her right out, so I hear it's your arrival day! "How many seasons are you?" She then passed it along to Tink and Terence. Also, my daughter's quote of the day inspired by Fawn..."Look Tink, she shrunk us down and put us in her hair!!!" My DD was wearing a hair ribbon with pictures of the fairies. But anyway, Tink was funny...She pretended to be upset when my DD said she was an animal talent and Rosetta was her favorite.
Terence was just abnormal. My DD really liked him. He is her second favorite character in the movies.

Sorry I know this is off topic...
Shame on me!
