Is Tink a guy?

[minnieluvzmickey]

I also went on the KTTK tour with Mathew and he said that she has to weigh less than 100 pounds and that she gets paid her full salary each day whether she flies or not.

When we took the KKT in June our guide told us that Tink was done by a mother daughter combo. So who knows...

^^^ Did Tink grow a mustache???

Either that, or a massive hormone imbalance.

I also know that the people who play Tink for meet and greets, are female, and very tiny. Something like under 5'0 tall, and under 95 pounds.

I know a Tink (at WDW) who is around 5'1 or 5'2. And at Disneyland Paris, the height requirements for Tink are from 5'0-5'6, so it really depends.

One of our dance studio instructors here in town used to dance for Disney. She started in the college program and became a friend of the flying Tinkerbell for years. She is tiny, tiny, but very muscular.

That being said, I have seen female villians with adams apples, so who knows now? Disney is an EEO!

In theater, it's called, "Non-Traditional Casting."

As to the pix, anybody heard of photoshop?
As to the tiny muscular men who could play Tink, in Kentucky we often call them jockeys.

My sons and I had a very good view of Tink from the dessert buffet when we watched the fireworks on 12/22. "She" flew right over us. And I have to say that the body shape looked very male. I'm just wondering if we are right.

usually called 'twinks'

surely i'll get flamed for this one...maybe even some points docked

We call them that in NJ, too.

I believe that most Peter Pan's on Broadway were played by women. So why not a male Tink?

(Look's like Tink and Peter have been getting in each other's closets again!)

In defense of this poor Tink, if it is a female, I can speak as a 5'0" tall woman, that I, um, lack in the curvy department.

At the same time, I knew a guy in our local ballet company who was on pointe...

But why are we discussing this? Tink isn't a hired actress... she's real!

I remember a few years back someone posted on the DIS a picture they took of the flying "Tink" who was most definately a guy...thick mustache and all!

There have been some SUCCESSES-

and some FAILURES-

 

[disneykid123]

haha i agree with the failures! When I saw tink I wasn't up too close but they did look rather rounded, but that could be because of all of the things they have to wear. I mean, have you SEEN the amount of lights on that thing?

Only if they're Italian!
