Requirements for CMs

[HilDfaN251]

I want the job as a character in WDW. I was just wondering the requirements, like the age, height, and how to get the job.
Any info will help.

Not sure what the height requirments would be.... I would guess it depends on what character you would want to apply for. You need to contact the Casting Center. If you have ever been to Down Town Disney, it is the building that is accross the street...a very different but pretty looking bldg.... If you have been there..you will know where I am talking about. You can also access them online. I just cannot remember the web address....I can tell you .... Disney isn't the best paying job to have (at least not at that level).... and I am speaking from experince.... benifits can be worth it....free park entry, dscounts on rooms, food, merchandise.... and sometimes the best benifit is seeing how happy you have just made someone.....
