We met Fairy Godmother on our last visit. She asked us where we were headed off to next and we told her we were going to meet Ariel. She told us to tell Ariel "Happy Dinglehopper Day". I thought this was great. When we got to Ariel and told her what Fairy Godmother said and she said, "Oh she remembered!" Priceless!!!
aw i love when they coordinate like that!
Olivia Simone why do you have to worry about your weight????
@@theworldofolivia8130 It's because all of the characters are skinny and you have to look like them. And if young kids saw Belle and she wasn't as skinny then they would get annoyed and ask why.
@@theworldofolivia8130 So you fit in the costume!!
When I went to Disneyland I told Rapunzel and Flynn Rider that we should take a picture together and Flynn asked what we were doing and Rapunzel said we were taking a picture on my magic mirror
I love that!!!
Then snow White walks up with guns and yells " WHERE IS THE EVIL QUEEN WITH THE MAGIC MIRROR "

Actually, it's Eugene.
@@jalapeno1119 your comment made my day. Thank you
Once I asked Moana what her favorite burrito was and she said she has never had one but Elena told her pig burritos were good but I shouldn’t tell pua
hahahaha that's marvelous! I love that!
Lmaooo
So they acknowledge Disney Junior princesses too? That’s really cool! Especially since Sofia and Elena are so popular.
They should make an actual movie for Elena
@@MostlyAnimatedSketches Elena had a coronation ceremony at Magic Kingdom, which all princesses attended so I would hope they acknowledge her! (: It's pretty cool. Not sure about Sofia though, since she's technically a "fur" character, not a traditional face character.
Belle acknowledges Harry Potter.
Belle is played by Emma Watson in the remake.
Emma Watson played Hermione in Harry Potter.
Coincidence?
MIND BLOWN
Coincidence? I think not.
That conspiracy is made of 3 facts.
How many sides does a triangle have?

ALLUMINATI CONFIRMED
I THINK NOT
I think not.
One time I was on a disney cruise and got to meet a whole bunch of the princesses in one room. We asked to take a selfie with each of the princesses and each had a response for what they called selfies. Belle said she preferred calling it a "Bellfie", Ariel called it a "Shellfie" and so on! It was cute!
Oh my gosh that's adorable! I love that!!
That’s so cool
Omg I love that
What about Cinderella?
wholesome!!!!!!!
When I met Mary Poppins in Epcot I was wearing a Doctor Who/ Cinderella t shirt and she said "you know, many people have accused me of traveling around in a box like that, because my bag is bigger on the inside!" It surprised me, but it was very cool, and definitely not restricted to Disney. And when I met Merida she told me to tell Ariel she had a recipe for kelp pie.
That's really interesting!! Yeah, that fact was definitely wrong
Tori Sleeper
The funny thing is the new Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns actually does give off Doctor Who vibes
Like she does turn back time
Tori Sleeper AGH I would’ve died right there if she said that to me!!!!!!!!!
Neo B. Jover ohhhh I haven't seen it yet. I'm excited to tho. My experience was back in 2013-2014 probably, Doctor Who was becoming really popular in America.
The fairy godmother asked where I got my shirt from and I told her hot topic, she said she’s heard of it. Lol.
hahaha that's great!
She’s the fairy godmother she knows everything 😂
i stan the fairy godmother more than any disney princess
She's always been a fashion queen
Maybe the actor shops there out of costume
My daughter did meet 2 Ariels in MK. One as a mermaid in her grotto, and the other as a human at Cinderella’s Royal Table. When my daughter mentioned that she had met her earlier as a mermaid, she just said “Oh, some people think that when I’m a mermaid I look like a completely different person but I’m the same!” It was really cute
That wasn't 2 Arials, just Arial as a mermaid and as a human! haha but no, that is really cute!
@@user-uz1fn8oy5b Olivia was just correcting in the way Disney trains all their cast members. There is only 1 Ariel. Just like there's only 1 Mickey. It's not people in suits or costumes, it's the real character. Just like there's only one of you.
There’s only “one” character,
However Disney will have multiple meet and greets. So sometimes Ariel will be in the grotto, but sometimes she’ll also be human outside Adventureland (FL), or Mickey will be in townhall for a meet and greet but be in a show at the same time, etc.
During entertainment training they have a specific training on how to handle that situation though Incase it’s brought up by guests.
mya camp they are Disney, she’s saying it’s just 2 versions of 1 character. Still 1 person lol.
Wow. They have to really be on their toes to answer those tough questions! 😉
I watched this video as well and noticed the click-bait picture that they never talked about. I’m pretty sure none of the princess cast members wear those hot pink stilettos.
lol exactly!!! I was waiting for them to bring it up too! and the house arrest ankle monitor lol
Lol it's not a house arrest monitor it's the clicker
@@rusticbb8 clickers at disney don't look anything like that though ???
Happily Hezface lol
Hahaaa, I see what you did there. Silly goose.
Gaston is the winner of the
"No-Belle"
Prize. ..........Get it?!
bu dum chhhhh
Lol
i have a shirt that says that :D
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hah.. hah hah...
When I was little, we were in Magic Kingdom and it started pouring rain. Everyone was trying to get inside, but my family was the only one left on the streets. After a few minutes, a cast member came up to us and offered to take us to a place to stay dry. When he took us to the room, every single Disney Princess was there! It was probably one of the best moments in my life😂
Oh my gosh!!!! I hope that made up for being soaked!
Olivia Simone Definitely😂
Lucky you 😍
DARK DISNEY SECRET: you have to go through standard job training, even if you've already watched a movie!
WILD
IKR? Like, WHO DOES THAT??? :-P
Yeah it was mentioned in the vid
OMG
When I was 7, it was my last day of Disney land Paris and I was desperate to meet belle my whole visit there, but with no luck so far. When I met Snow White, I told her in tears how I never met belle and I’m going home later, and she was my favorite princess.
Then Snow White proceeded to tell me,”I think I seen belle in *restaurant*”. We went there and she was there and I got to meet her! It made my time at Disney.
Edit ~ omg I only wrote this comment in hope that Olivia would see it I wasnt expecting half the likes 😂 ty x
i'm so glad you got to meet her! That sounds so magical!
Olivia Simone
It really was! It was so kind of the cm to do that!
@@beth_5100 The good thing is that she was offended (Snow White)
Omar Lopez
What do you mean she was offended? X
@@beth_5100 wasn't
Yay I really wondered if those videos where actually true.
haha yeah some parts are! thanks for watching!
It bothers me that they refer to all Disney resorts as "Disneyland" (which is the OG Disney, but still) lol That's why at first Olivia wasn't sure if the video was specifically about the Disneyland, CA cast members or Disneyland Paris cast members. This video was clearly about more than just 1 Disney resort, because they talked about Disney World cast members too.
I honestly think most cast members need to pick up the trash, except for the performers (characters, princesses, etc.), because they have costumes that could make it difficult to bend over and they can fall or something about their costume might fall/move out of place, also they touch a lot of kids and people, so Disney don't want their hands to be dirty and full of bacterias.
There are better ones
@@Seroxm13 most people do.
Kristen Brandt Is to bgood
When I went to Disneyland, my friends and I saw Gaston and went to go get his autograph and he refused saying he couldn’t read or write. Then we wanted a picture taken with him and he told us he wanted to take us on “secret trail” and then closed the gate on us so we were trapped. It was hilarious but we still didn’t get an autograph😂
Oh my gosh! hahahaha Gaston is something else 😂😂😂
Angel Flater What if he forgot his character’s autograph 😂
I've noticed that unless it's a meet and great Gaston doesn't sign (unless it's Disneyland Paris you should watch French Gaston he's the best) but in Disneyland, there is this thing called strolling where the characters just walk around and act out funny scenes but they do not autograph or take a lot of pictures.
Angel Flater "How can you read this? There are no pictures!"
Good ol gaston
I he had to sign yours then other people would also demand the same thing, and the end result would be disastrous for both him and the guests (he would get himself fired)
I met Alice at The Magic Kingdom in Disney World while wearing a stitch (lilo & stitch) shirt and we talked about how stitch and Cheshire cat was riding around the magic kingdom on the magic carpet causing mischief. Stitch and Alice are my two favorites so I'm glad she knew of stitch
Oh my gosh that's adorable!!
Chris Batts This isn't a princess story but it's about the Finding Nemo theater experience with the sea turtle (whose name I can't recall) who narrates. It was in California Adventure. He responded to people and things in the audience. During our trip, I had been looking everywhere for a ball cap I had seen somewhere that looked like Nemo, with fins on the side, one regular and one small just like Nemo, for my 4 year old son who is now 17. On the 2nd day after scouring stores, I found one left in a clearance store in Tomorrowland. As we sat in the theater, my son wearing his Nemo hat, and were watching the show, the turtle suddenly singled out our group, specifically my son, and asked in a worried tone about where he got his Nemo hat. My husband pointed the finger at me and said I was the one who gave it to him. The turtle said all upset, "You turned Nemo into a hat? What am I going to tell the Jelly Man," referring to Nemo's dad. People laughed. It was so funny and my son was thrilled that the turtle talked to us. And we were mobbed afterwards with people wanting the same hat that I had found n a clearance bin of hats. My grandson has it now and it's still as cute as ever.
I like how the video title is "10 big secrets disneyland princesses cant tell anyone" when some of them are just general employee rules. My brother was in the dcp a few years ago and he told us about the two fingering pointing rule. one of the main reasons is because pointing with one finger is considered rude in some countries
exactly! haha I was expecting more detailed items
It's also because Walt himself was famous for pointing with two fingers. What many folks have forgotten is the why Walt did that. He was typically holding a cigarette between said fingers when he pointed.
I didn’t realise how far that rule went until I did a dance training with some Disneyland personnel. They taught us a routine involving pointing but none of the instructors actually did with one finger. They just told us to do it outselves
The fairy you was trying to think of is silvermist
THANK YOU
I knew it begun with a silver and wanted to see if someone had the answer cuz it was also bothering me 🤣 thanks!!
“You was”.....
I too did the DCP a few years back. One day I was backstage, headed to Castosaurus for lunch when I crossed paths with Pluto. I must've looked like I had had it after sweating in the Florida humidity all morning, because Pluto waved to me, ran up to me and patted me on the back. It was so cute how he was still in character, even backstage and it honestly made my whole day.
Aw I love that!
Pirate Mickey meet & greeted me backstage once when I was a DCP because he’d heard he was one of my absolute favorites. I think it’s my most magical Disney memory ❤️
People forget that the Princesses are for the most part teenagers in the movies, I mean Snow White was only 14 years old in her movie. So I can understand Disney putting up an age limit for a part.
The Elsa we met at Disney land Paris actually almost had wrinkles. She was clearly pretty old already. I can see how it ruins the magic.
@@laartje24 Elsa in the musical isn't played by a 20 year old, either. I always thought of Elsa as being an older character, like if Anna is 18 I picture Elsa as being 26. I know they don't look that far apart as kids but that's the dynamic.
P.S. I feel really weird calling 26 "older", but when Ariel is 16...
@@sarahk5412 pretty sure Elsa is 18 in the movies and Anna is 16.
@@atree9284 Anna is 18, Elsa is 21
The pointing rule came from Walt himself. He felt pointing with one finger was rude.
The darkest secret of all. The pointing thing had nothing to do with trying not to be rude, There using the baphomet gesture. Yess evil. I’m sorry to spoil Disney for everyone. But look into it. Wall Disney was a santanist.
@@stephanievlado6125 Actually, from what I've gathered from the history and news articles/videos on it, the two fingers point originates from the fact that Walt Disney was an avid smoker. Smoking was the norm back then, in addition to him just being an extreme smoker himself. As a result, he is often seen holding two fingers together, particularly the index and middle finger, because that's how a smoker casually holds a cigarette or thin enough cigar.
As times changed and he passsd, Disney (the company) began 'fixing' up his image to remove smoking from the abundance of images with Walt Disney. For those with old print and personal pictures of Walt Disney, it's still there, but for public ones, the cigarettes are usually photoshopped out. The legacy continued on into the training of staff members, to sort of pass it off as a unique pointing style.
Feel free to look into it yourself, of course :)
@@stephanievlado6125 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stephanievlado6125 girl it’s not that deep
The last time I went to Disneyland in Hong Kong, I met my favorite princess (aka Aurora). She asked me how my day went and I answered with "It was great, but I pricked my finger on a needle when I tried to fix my pillow last week before coming here" and she gasped dramatically, saying that Maleficent (I love Maleficent) got me too, and it made my day
awww that's so awesome! I love that interaction story! Thanks for sharing!
For Paris you can only audition once a year.
When you go to the Princess pavillion there are two of the same princesses. One english and one french but its the SAME characters.
You can audition as much as you want. If you pass your audition however, they keep your information for 6 months and if you haven't had a contract offer in that time, then you can audition again. 😊
And to add onto this, a lot of DLP speak both English and French, they don’t have 1 for French and 1 for English but yes they do have 1-3 princess there at a time. Paris audition roughly every 3 months 😁
Lindy van den Bosch you have the same last name as my mother! Not very common...maybe we are related lol
I went to Disneyland Paris for the first time earlier this month and they advertised 2 different princesses being there. I know they ask people which language they speak when at the front of the queue and my friend and I were very lucky that we saw a different princess each time we went in to see them. I saw Ariel walking into the pavillion when I entered and she remembered me when I actually got to see her about 2 hours later (the queues were so much longer than the advertised time)
@@candiwax the name is common in the Netherlands and Belgium though...
Me: **reads thumbnail**

BAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
4:29 When I was little I asked to take a selfie with Peter Pan, and he said "A selfie? So just a photo of your self or do I join in?" 6 year old me was very confused haha. I guess it's just because he is from Neverland. 😊
hahaha that's definitely why 😂
Hi! 💕
"multiple of the same princess throughout the park" That really does sound anxiety-inducing and horribly incorrect, but I can't help loving the idea of a Doctor Who type of Disneyland with versions of each princess throughout their history walking about. 😂😂 Gotta watch out for time paradoxes though.
Favourite animal? Jeez Olivia! You're really escalating the question. Rocket Raccoon counts since Disney bought Marvel right? Hahaha, loophole!
hahaha I accept your loophole! XD
Olivia Simone Haha, success! 😄 His introductory performance in Guardians 1 was sub-par (never heard much of GotG), but his character really developed in Guardians 2 and Avengers: Infinity War.
Zack Attack and the telltale game
The multiple princesses thing happens in Disneyland Paris as well as the multiple mickeys, for example right now we have the Princesses and Pirates festival and I met Cinderella in Fantasyland while she was also in the parade in Main Street USA or you can have Mickey in the parade, in the meet Mickey point and by Phantom Manor at the same time xD
@@chibitenten88 That's not possible! You should really go to a doctor. You're seeing things!
people who don’t audition for things dont understand that actors understand appearance and height standards! its part of the buisness 😂
EXACTLY!! The entertainment / theater industry is so different than any other job market!
y’all i cant audition for anything because i’m 5’8 :(( i wish i could be a princess but being tall sucks lmao
Theatre is an amazing career though... and height restrictions don't exist in or for every role. I'm 5 foot 3 and work in a box office; so my height doesn't matter.
Totally true. My niece was one of the original Young Annas on Broadway. There were two young Annas and two young Elsas, and they flipped flopped the performances. Anyhoo, once she grew over an inch, they started searching for a new young Anna. They had to replace the young Elsa at the same time. The other young Anna and young Elsa hadn't grown past their contract height yet so were able to stay on. My niece was so bummed. She absolutely loves performing but it is especially hard when you are a kid and still growing.
@@abbiemitchell9848 rockettes? You could audition for the Rockettes!
One time when I was at Disneyland and me and my sister went to meet tinker bell. I have horrible eyesight so I was wearing a pair of glasses with lenses that were like a quarter inch thick. When me and my sister went up to tinker bell she immediately exclaimed “oh my gosh I love your goggles! My friend clink (I think that was his name lol) has a pair just like them!” So yeah Disney characters aren’t clueless they might just twist real life things to fit their story.
yeah, they definitely do!
i think she meant bobble ! hes one of her friends in the tinkerbell movies :)
@@billievanderpol yay someone who knows fairies!! yeah Bobble has the goggles/glasses but OP was close cuz Clank is also a tinker fairy (he’s the larger one with dark hair and is Bobble’s best friend and one of Tink’s friends).
I love how to turn reality into a fairytale
I can't believe they didn't cast you as Anna - you look like you would be perfect for Anna. What percentage of characters at WDW are DCP? My daughter will be in DCP in WDW next week. She will not be a character performer but hopes that maybe she can be for the next program.
aw thank you! haha Ummm... I don't know an exact percentage... but quite a few! I wouldn't be surprised if it was anywhere from 25% to 35%! Best of luck to your daughter! I hope she enjoys her program
I did the DCP this last fall and I heard that it was about 60%! But I’m not sure how accurate it is. It seems likely though
I didn't even think of Anna, but omg she has it right down to Rosey cheeks 💖 agree she should have gotten a gig as anna
Well how's it going for her
My fav animal is Eeyore. He seems to be negative but accepts his fate as goes with it.
Yeah he's a cute little depressed Donkey
Me too!!! Oh my gosh i have EVERYTHING Eeyore!!
There are so many depressed characters who are bitter or grumpy, but Eeyore is unwaveringly friendly to everyone he meets in the entire 100 Acre Wood. That's a major reason he's so lovable. Even when people don't understand how he feels, he just appreciates that they even try to understand. I find that so endearing.
My favourite is Eeyore too! Met him with Tigger on my last day at Disneyland Paris after missing out seeing him the day before as my friend didn't want to wait in the queue to see him and then told me later I could have gone to stand in the queue. I also have at least 5 Eeyore cuddly toys, an Eeyore cushion and a few Eeyore statues/ models.
I was at Disney the week that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in Universal (back in 2010) and I decked myself out in HP gear because I was going there the next day. I met Belle in Epcot and she mentioned Harry Potter, asked if I liked it, then asked if I’d heard about a Harry Potter thing that was opening up in, “I believe it’s called...Universal?” I said I knew and that I was going, and I loved that she managed to bring it up in a way that still fit well with Belle’s character. I thought it was very clever.
I was also impressed that a cast member would mention Universal.
Yeah see, Belle is awesome with that! And yeah we're not too worried about universal haha there's room for both parks!
I was at Disney right before HP opened and I was so sad because we didn’t get to go 😢
It’s kind of cool that some of characters know what that is but they have to come up with a response that’s disney related
Here is a fun little story you might like: I went to Disney World a few years ago with my family, and we went to go see Merida for a meet and greet. I don’t remember the name of the location where we saw her, but I think it used to be Belle’s Reading corner if that helps give you an idea of where I am talking about. Anyway, this was when I was a little younger, so I was still a little uncomfortable meeting characters. Nothing big, I just felt a little awkward about the idea of meeting a mouse I have only ever seen on tv who is now walking around and happens to be six feet tall. Don’t worry, I’ve gotten over that fear. Anyway, my family was in line to see Merida and while we were waiting I thought “ok, this should go quickly as long as no one mentions anything futureistic.” Anyway, it is finally our turn to meet. At one point, Merida asks me and my family “So, have you ever shot a bow and arrow before?” And immediately my little sister say, “ Not in real life, but we play archery on the Wii!” At this I do an internal face palm and Merida says,”Wii? As in... a wee little bow?” And my sister, too little to take a hint, spent the next like 5 minutes explaining to Merida what a wii is. Im pretty sure the dad of the family behind us in line was giving my sister the death glare for taking so long with Merida.I was really embarrassed at the time, but now I just look back and laugh. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
hahaha that's really cute! I bet Merida really enjoyed that interaction!
I read the merida dialogue as if it was merida from the movie
Love it! The only reason I'd be annoyed in line is if I was out of earshot for the Wii tutorial. 💜
"they cant post on social media"
your laugh was so cute 😂😂
hahahah thanks XD
I had a friend who was "friends" with Rapunzel and she'd use the "Disney Language" or whatever.. always wondered how that worked lol
haha yep! Now you know! :)
When I was in Disney World, I waited in a long line to take a snapchat with Peter Pan because my friend back home was obsessed with him. I asked if he could say hi to my friend A*** on snapchat and he goes "The magic mirror you can share with friends?" and it was so cute and wholesome
Peter Pan is the absolute best when it comes to meet and greets i swear!
I know a few cast members who have full on sleeves and piercings and they just take them out and wear long sleeves :) from what I’ve seen Disney isn’t as discriminatory as people think just because they can’t show them haha (from what I know you can’t as a nurse either) to conclude just like many other jobs requirements and dress codes are set which I completely understand in Disney’s circumstances
That's very true!!! We have a ton of people with sleeves, etc. And you're totally right - plenty of industries and companies have dress codes and standards - it's not Disney trying to be unfair!!
hailey rae the princesses can’t have tattoos as they wear dresses that can’t hide them as easily that is why
Nurses can, as long as they are covered.
I honestly think you would be a great friend of Tinkerbell/Wendy/Alice. My husband and I actually call you Tinkerbell if we see your video pops up in my feed
Oh my gosh you two are so sweet!
I was thinking Alice while watching the video, too!
She would be a great friend of Merida if she curled her hair
she was friends with Tinkerbell. shhh.
@@olivia_simone so... who were you a friend of, Olivia? Someone furry? Someone with big ears? Someone with a beautiful gown? Someone with a long tail? Oooo...or were you hanging out with one of those rotten villains? I promise I won't tell, it can be our little secret...mouse's honor!
If I had to place you myself, I'd definitely have you spending alot of time with Alice! The two of you would be great friends!😊
That one that said they won’t be near each other I think, means that if one tinker Bell is was walking through a certain part of the park, the other tinker Bell that’s working at a restaurant won’t walk by her. She’ll take another route to avoid her.
But there’s only one tinkerbell. The comment they make ruined character integrity
i think it could also mean when the current performer is leaving/going on break and the one who is replacing them is arriving, they won't be seen at the same time
I know for at least at disney world (unless it has changed) that there is only allowed to be like one of each character out at all, like if a character is in one place, or if there is a parade with a certain character, then they can not be anywhere else, even if its out of the way and they don't overlap routes. Its because they don't want someone to be like "we are meeting Minnie now" and then someone else be in another part of the park be like "so are we",thats why they use the tunnels and time things out. Disney puts a lot of work into organizing and creating the atmosphere and they really want to make to keep the illusion that the characters are real, and so if there are two of one character out it ruins that. I think it even applies to when they are in the character restaurants, there can still only be one of each character out ANYWHERE in the park at a time.
When I went to Disneyland the other year, I was waiting to meet Belle (wanted to show off a skirt I made using fabric that looked the like the stained glass windows from the movie haha) but there was a parade going on at the same time that Belle was a part of. After her float passed out of sight- past the castle since the meet and greet was outside of the Royal Hall- and after a few minutes, she came out to do her meet and great and joked about her quick change from the enormous ball gown she has for Soundsational into her more comfy blue dress. So it is sort of a thing, I guess?
OfficialAuntMoose also the tunnels! Disneyland has underground tunnels to avoid a Snow White walking through an inappropriate place she wouldn’t be seen in.
As much as I love Tigger, I bet the actor in the suit has those days were he/she has either sore muscles or one of their feet is just throbbing in pain but they have to project fun, energy and perkiness when they'd rather be laid up tending to their injury or sore spots, huh??
if you're a lefty and the character you're friends with is right handed does that person have to learn to write right handed?
Nope! As far as characters like Mickey and Minnie, they are ambidextrous...
^ what she said!
Athena G That’s actually a really good question I never thought of before! Three of the four of my nuclear family are left handed (weird I know!) and that’s something I never thought of! Despite knowing they practice the same signature. Good thought.
Ask Capt. Hook.
The only left handed characters I know of are Tiana and Mulan.
if you cant squat or bend to pick rubbish off the floor, please tell me or show me how the heck are you supposed to pick it up??????? do a front flip? cartwheel ??? hahahahaha
lol exactly!
As a Cast Member, I picked up garage in like a slow motion low stride bird-swooping way, if you can picture a bird as a human who would use their one hand versus their beak, and a slow stride with human legs versus their wings allowing them to glide. My other arm is normal to be discreet.
It's like when u touch your toes without bending your knees

O'MALLEY!!!
This is so true! 😂
I absolutely adore Rafiki.
Ironically there was a Universal add before I watched this 😂
hahahahah that happened to me before my first college program! All universal ads 😂
I definitely don't think I could be a performer, but I give huge props to those who can do it every day and love every minute of it! It's got to take some real mental strength to be able to do that day in and day out. As far as favorite Disney animal goes, I think it's a tie between Maximus from Tangled or Dodger from Oliver and Company.
I give props to full time performers too! and yessss! That's such a hard choice! Both are great!
My sister used to work at Disney world. She worked at pizza planet for school, She loved it!
that's so awesome!
I was friends with tiana at one point and attended one of belles story time readings and she acknowledged tiana .... so the first one isn’t at all true
Thank you for sharing!!
Fun little “breaking story moment” I was like eight at the time and I went to see some princesses and it was Snow White Ariel and Cinderella Snow White was last so Cinderella said that Snow White made the best pumpkin pies then I went to Ariel and she said Snow White made the best seaweed (or something I don’t remember) pie and then when I went to Snow White she said she loved making pies for them this is kinda an unimportant story but I just wanted to tell it
Aw that's so cute!!! I love how they talked about one another! Thanks for sharing :)
This is great. It's always so much better to hear the facts from a Cast Member
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@olivia_simone Thank you for the great video and the ♥️
Not like i'm actually auditioning to be a character or anything, but I have a question. I'm left-handed- would someone like me have to try to learn how to sign right-handed or not get the part because of this?
nope!!! You would be fine! :)
@@olivia_simone sweet!
I was a character attendant and I also cringed at number 7
Right?! That statement totally goes against our core philosophy!!
My favorite Disney animal is pascal from tangled
aw I love him!
i love how Olivia takes the time to see what her fans have to say! I feel like a lot of you tubers don't.. hehe or i just haven't seen when they do. Respond to them I mean.
Thanks so much!
Fun fact; one of the people who helped found In N Out Burger loved Disneyland, so the name tags are the same shape, but also they take a lot of their customer service training inspiration from Disney as well.
I love Raja the tiger and Marie from aristocrats, I also have a soft spot for Sven the reindeer because someone close to me use to sing Kristoff’s song to me all the time
That is really funny that you say that because when I was at In-N-Out over break, I mentioned to my sister, "Their nametags are the same as at Disney, it just doesn't have their hometowns on it!" hahaha Good to know that that's true! and awww i love your favorite Disney animals!
Olivia Simone that’s really cool! Thank you for replying, I love your videos! 😄
Size isn’t based off the girls they already have hired. They’re based on the dress size. But they do hire face characters based off their “media” character.
You look like Anna from frozen to me 😊
Thank you! :D
Olivia Simone well you really do you should audition lol
My favorite part of the video is you bopping to the music 😂
hahaha it's an upbeat tune! 😂
I met Tiana with some friends and we asked to take a video and she called the phone a magic mirror. It was amazing
aw I love that!
I watched this after watching bright side and I was like yesszzsss spill the tea sis
hahaha yassss! I'm glad you liked it! thanks for watching!
I was a CP at DAK and the two-pointing fingers is for all cast member - Walt always pointed with two fingers cause it was less offensive. I still find myself doing it 7 years later. They do it at Disneyland too.
Your face when they said you had to pick up trash! I was crying laughing!! LOL!!!
I just don't buy it 😂
I have a story
When I went to WDW {maybe 5 yrs old}
I met Winnie the Pooh, Minnie, Eeyore, Tigger, Timon {which i loved}, Lio & Stitch, {My sister sat in front of Stitch while Lio bent her one knee down and i sat on her knee}
My older brother met other characters i think on his own because maybe i was too scared}
At cedar point (amusement park in Ohio) we had to point with our whole hand and yep we had codes for different things. Also had to pick up any trash on the midway - all employees but generally the characters we do have are in full costume so lol they couldn’t really see it
good to know! thanks for the insight!
Yep 🤷🏼♀️ lol I worked 6 summers (not always full but I did many setup and tear down (lol cuz unlike Disney we closed during the winter). The tattoo thing is the same as are piercings, though I think I read something dress code wise was relaxed a bit. I was a supervisor for the merchandise department... sometimes area (so the multiple little stores and the wheelchair/locker areas) and sometimes specific large stores (lol I did all three sometimes when I was a second area sup when the season was ending and people went back to college).
Ohio pride lol
I think with the 6 months re-auditioning point, it applies if you get put on the books for 6 months and then if you’re not cast within those 6 months, they would have to re-audition to go back in the books again ☺️
See, that makes sense!!
The fairys' name is silvermist c;. I also LOVE your videos, keep up the good work!
THANK YOU! lol
A couple years ago when we met Merida, my sister had a pin of her on her hat and Merida saw it and gasped, "How did you get me so small?! Are you a witch??" She then turned to her attendant and said "Keep an eye on this one."
OMG THAT'S AMAZING!!!
Eeyore has always been my favorite Disney animal! I can relate on how he never is fully awake 😂
haha he's such a relatable character!
I love Disney, and I love all the Disney videos you do 😍 I’ve been 15 times and my parents, somewhere in the 50’s and my brothers around as many as me. I love your story’s keep them uppp!!!
oh my goodness that's amazing!!! Disney is so awesome!! Thanks so much for watching my videos!
So I have plenty of friends that are performers that post who they are hanging out with all the time. Even for regular cast members the code names and two finger point is a for everyone. Oh the amount of people that tackle the performers...they have more job security than they let on.
My favorite Disney animal is Chip and Dale, Tigger, and Jiminy cricket,
Thank you for breaking this down for us. This clears things up and makes it seem way less scary than the video did!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Mushu is my main man.
He is so funny! 😂
same. Eddie Murphy is PERFECT working with him in the Mulan movie!
Love this! I'm so glad you reacted to it, I see videos like that all the time and I enjoy hearing your side! Also, would you need to wear contacts if you had blue eyes and the princess you are working with/ auditioning for has green eyes?
Thank you so much!! and that's a good question!! I don't think they have to, but I'm really not sure!
Olivia Simone thank you for your feedback! I'm a big fan!
Can I just say I love your username so much 😂 Harry Potter and Hamilton are just two of my favourites 🙂😂
thebutterfly975 thank you! I get this all the time lol
Love your icon!!
10:28 😂😂 all of us. Great video!
It was SHOCKING!!!
thanks for posting this. interesting facts about Disney parks/employees .
I am obsessed with these videos from you Olivia!!! Your stories for Disney World are so interesting!!!
thank you so much!!!!!
Marie is my favourite animal followed closely by Gus the mouse. I love Aristocats so much and I had a pet mouse once named Gus who loved to cuddle me. It sounds like the person who made the video was just using the different parks interchangeably. Considering I remember hearing him say Disney World at some point and then they show two different parks. At least be consistent. They clearly don't know what they are talking about on everything. I'm glad you reacted and explained things better for someone who doesn't know the truth. (:
Marie is the cutest! Loungefly has such a great Marie collection out right now! and yeah, the video was definitely not consistent haha thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Olivia! I've seen most of your other videos so I kinda knew how you were going to react when I heard the guy saying certain things. And some of your facial reactions were kind of priceless. Now, if we're talking favorite animal or sidekick, I'd have to say that Rafiki is my favorite. He is not only the narrator for the Lion King, but Rafiki is seen as a wise and respected character... plus he speaks some Swahili which I took two years of in college. :) Have a great day!!
Rafiki is an amazing character! How interesting you've taken Swahili! thanks so much for watching!
his name also means friend in Afrikaans
@@nickninjaadams Kushangaza!! (Awesome!!)
The Lion King Soundtrack called Rhythm of the Pridelands encouraged me to learn how to sing in Africaans and speak Swahili when I got to explore Tanzania.
Yes I was waiting for a cast member to react to one of these videos!!!
haha I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this! When I first saw the video you’re reacting to I got so heated haha! A lot of the things in the video, like you said could be a different Disney park, but as far as WDW is concerned a lot of that stuff doesn’t apply or is a gray area like you said. The thing with posting on social media is a huge gray area. Especially the backstage photos. Being in WDW entertainment for 8 years, they always bounced back and forth with taking photos backstage. Especially when it comes to photos of shows and parades. We were allowed to take photos in costume as long as we had a managers approval and as long as the background was a neutral background, like in front of a float or a blank wall. Also, the whole aging out for princesses I believe to be false. At least at WDW. Because when you’re hired in to be a princess or a parade performer you all go through fur character training so even if you are starting to look too “old” to be a princess you’ve been “friends with” you can still be a fur character or several other things within WDW entertainment. There are people I know personally who have been in entertainment for years that used to be “friends with” certain princesses that now do other things within entertainment. When I was hired I was told that I could keep my job basically forever haha.
OMG yassssss Im glad you posted!!!! This is what I need before school everyday!
yayyyyy! I'm so glad you like my videos! Thanks so much for watching!
@@olivia_simone no problem! Your videos are LITTERALLY the bomb! Keep up the great work and keep making people like me smile everyday!🤗👍💞😍
But there's only one of each character.. How can they be in two places at once 🤷🏼♀️😏
That's what i'm sayin!!
Lindsey and Sons same looking girls lol
@@olivia_simone It's happened! When my friends and I went to MNSSHP (I hope you know what it means...) we got photos with Jack Sparrow....and got his autograph...then went to watch the parade...and Jack was in the parade. We looked back, and Jack was still doing photos! We ran back, and luckily he was finishing...we whispered to the attendant that we just saw an impostor Jack in the parade. Jack heard us and said "He must be stopped!" (or something like that) and dragged his attendant away.
Disney. Magic. That's how. ;)
I was scrolling through the comments and I couldn't help but see how sweet you are. I mean, you reply with sweet and cute thing all the time!
aw thanks so much! I appreciate you all taking the time to watch my videos and commenting!
When I met stitch (I love him) I couldn't find a pen for him to sign with so I started crying and he was sooo sweet he was giving me hugs and playing around until we found a pen best Disney day ever
aw! I'm glad he turned it into a magical interaction and that they found a pen!! haha
Stitch was one of my first and favorite interactions. He hugged me and took my hat off, and even wore it for the picture. He was adorable.
I love your videos, Olivia! 💓 I’ve always been curious if those videos were stating true things. Thank you for making this video! Post notifications are on but i couldn’t watch the video because i’m in school but when i got the notification i clicked it so i could come like the video even though i couldn’t watch it till now 😂💓
hahaha I'm glad you came back and watched it! 😂
I actually watched this exact video a couple months ago, and I was wondering if it was true...Thanks!
I was so curious when it popped up in my suggested! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Lol I think I saw you at Disney!
No way!! That's definitely possible!
Good job, I hope you do more like this. Thanks for your insight
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Favorite Disney Animal? Pascal and Abu. I kind of love Percy as well because I'm obsessed with Pugs :)
OH MY GOSH I forgot about Percy! haha What a pampered little pooch! Love him!
I love thumper from bamby but I'm old lol 💜🧡💛💚💙
Aw thumper is so cute!!
The two finger point is the Disney Point, they use it to not seem rude to guests and staff, like he said
yup!
Hi Olivia! This is the first video I have seen of you. It led me to watch other ones you have filmed. You are amazing! Disney is my favorite thing is the world. I have only been to Disney world twice but I still love it even if I don’t go often. You are an amazing person and I love your stories and tips. You are a truly hard worker and deserve so much. You are just so awesome. Keep being great!
Thank you so much Lily! I'm so glad you've been enjoying my channel 😊 Thanks so much for your words of encouragement!!
My favorite Disney animal would be Nala. She has this amazing spirit and personality (or is it lion-ality?)
I NEVER NOTICED UNTIL THIS EXACT MOMENT THAT PERSONALITY HAS THE WORD "PERSON" IN IT
Hahaha same!
I think it’s “animality” for our friends in the animal kingdom.
Ethan S Lol
Whoa! I think I’ve seen you on Jessii Vee’s and Brittyy44’s videos.
Hey Olivia! Great video as always, favorite Disney animal has to he Thumper from Bambi. I had a cat that looked like him but always chewed through my phone cords so I compromised and named him Chomper haha.
hahaha that's a great name! thanks so much for watching!
Bravo! Former WDW Ent. worker here. Awesome job of correcting their mistakes in the top 10. I felt a few of them were thrown in during panic mode "OMG ! We don't have 10! Do pointing fingers,,um,,trash , yeah..that'll be good!". Both of those are part of cast member training 101. :D
I'm glad you agree!!
For Paris the once a year thing is partly true but only if you get to the last part of the audition. They tell you to wait 6 months because they might call you to come and work and if after 6 months they haven’t you’re then free to audition again.
That's so good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Rosalina Nature o
I love Marie from the aristocats as well as mushu and crickie
Aw Marie! I love her! Mushu and crickie are amazing sidekicks too!
Aristocats rules!
Even tho they did steal the idea from Gay Purr-ee
