this is true, but in their defense: if you do start as a waitress, street sweeper, or vendor you can move your way up on the ladder. honestly, this is true. ive talked to people who are going through it right now. ive got friends who tell me that it isnt fabulous cleaning up trash or checking peoples tickets, but its still worth it all when you get to move it on up.
and even if you ARE a street cleaner or vendor, you can still make everything magical. you dont have to be an ordinary person with a broom. unless of course you choose to be.
also, if you have experience in foreign languages, stage tech or even costuming, your chances of landing a job as a stagehand or tour guide increase. im aiming for tour guide, and although i can speak english (obviously) im taking french and im self-teaching myself japanese.
and the more acting experience you recieve through highschool, the greater your chances of becoming a character get. but remember, just because you can smile and act like cinderella, doesnt mean thats who youre going to be. most all characters are based on height. if you are shorter than 5'7, you arent going to be a princess in america. tokyo maybe, but not here. shorter than that your best bet is chip n' dale, lilo or stitch, wendy or peter pan, a lost boy, alice, cinderella's mice, pinnochio. i was offered chip n' dale, pinnochio, stitch, and alice myself.
dont judge things until you experience it. and even if you start out small, anything is possible. besides, isnt that what disney is all about?
