TinkerBell at MK fireworks???

[susykt4]

My kids are young and in bed by 8pm so we haven't seen any of the Disney fireworks on our two family trips. I keep reading about the MK (Wishes?) fireworks with Tinker Bell on a wire but only in perfect weather conditions, etc. I'm totally confused... Is Tink actually a REAL person "flying" down the wire??? Thanks for the info

I took the Keys to the Kingdom tour and our host talked about it. Yes, it's a real person and it's labeled as the best job in the parks. The girl gets paid for 8 hours of work then going down the cable only takes 30 seconds.

Well, there are 2 schools of thought on this.

A) Tinkerbell is a little fairy that flies on her own during the show.

B) Its a "real live person" who wears a lighted Tinkerbell costume and "flies down a wire".

Whichever one you believe, its a sight well-worth seeing.

I agree.

I think this is what's known in the theater world as "non-traditional casting."

and "tink" goes by so fast, you really only see a green blur going through the sky

Yeppers!

I did a multi-camera video recording of Fantasmic! this year.

My "A" camera had a "tight-zoom" lens.

I had to avoid shooting too tight as you could see LOTS of things on-stage that were not supposed to be visible from the seats.

When I edited, I loved to see the action "up-close"... but I cut away when I thought I might be revealing too much.

Its a delicate line.

Another case of Greg Brady/Johnny Bravo... he fit the suit.

Sit at the edge of the Noodle place in Tomorrowland. Tink flies right over your head. My 12-year-old daughter's life ambition now is to be Tink.

I read somewhere that there is a rumor that sometimes Tink is actually a MAN.

Have you seen what Tinkerbelle does in DisneyLand?? She flys all around the castle ALOT!! must be there for at least a full minute if not more. All with fireworks and Walts voice in the background. I for one would like to remain in the fantasy land that Tink flys out of the castle and leave all those conspiricy theorys to everyone else!

My dd thinks that the green light in her smoke detector in her room is Tink watching to see if she's being good. It works!!!!!

Another reason is that Tink has to be weighed with her uniform and "flying aids" (wings or harness) just before she flies. And if she's had a little too much fairy food (or Mickey ice cream bars), her flight is cancelled at the last minute.
