Honestly your words on how you were able to appreciate your time there in the end really made me realize that I need to start being more appreciative of waking up every day and live life more positively and to the fullest. You're amazing as always✌😍
I can never get enough Disney videos!☺️ Your positivity is truly inspiring - thank you for being you and sharing your thoughts on youtube to us Brownies!😉💗
You are so sweet! Thanks Maddi! There's a lot of negativity on TH-cam and on social media in general. So I always try to create positive and uplifting content :)
I love your new name for us! And now I want a brownie! You enjoy want your doing and have been a huge inspiration for me and everyone who follows you. We brownies will live you forever more!
I love your videos! I just wanted to share one of my favorite Disney World stories just for the heck of it: my younger sister and I are both shy, My shyness is much much worse than hers though. I was in about the 6th grade and already was self conscious about being too old for character meet and greets for some reason, so most of my conversations with princesses just included a “hello” and then letting my sister pick up the conversation. However my favorite interaction was with Tinkerbell... my sister and I were already laughing about what she had said to the families in front of us. When we got up to her, she looked at our sweatshirts and read the words on them, I was wearing a Gap sweatshirt and my sister’s said “Gymnast”. Tink asked if those were our names. I said no, and she immediately started yelling at me for stealing it from someone named Gap. It was hilarious. She even made a video with us saying hi to our cousin, who had cancer at the time. On our way out, she yelled after me, “I’m gonna tell Gap you have her shirt!” It was an overall great experience, and was the highlight of that trip. Sorry for the long story and thanks for making these videos, I love them!
Mouse Street TV I know, I was going through a weird phase then where I thought I was too old for everything... not like an I’m-too-cool-for-this kind of thing, more of a I-really-want-to-do-this-but-people-will-think-I’m-weird kind of thing. The Tinkerbell experience was my favorite though because most characters tried to engage my sister, but Tink made it really special and fun for both of us.😊
I’ve been to Disney world 9 times and I have found that Labor Day week is THE BEST!!!! there are absolutely no crowds the weather is really good and if you stay in the pop century you get deluxe dining free!!!! This is one of my favorite tips and I have tons more!
kenziemacbrown yep!!!! I know tons of little Disney hacks from how to get in to fancy restaurants without a reservation to how to be first in line for new rides without a fast pass!!
I went to Disneyland in February and it was the shortest lines I've ever seen! Easily got through over a dozen if not over 20 rides with several breaks. I went superbowl weekend which I think helped there be lower crowds. Weather was perfect too!
I love how open, honest and grateful you are!! It’s really cool hearing your take on some park questions and it’s always a treat hearing about your own experience. And I can totally understand your reasoning for why you left the company when you did. It was incredibly smart and I’m sure not as easy as it sounds so props you! Also your makeup looks amazing in this video! Can’t wait for more of your videos :)
Thanks Allie! You always have the nicest things to say! I really appreciate it :) and yes, it was not easy to leave at all. But overall there was a lot of uncertainty if I stayed (whether or not I would get more opportunities) and the risk wasn't really worth the reward. Also I'm really glad I can look back on my experience with fond memories, when I have lots of friends that are completely worn out working there.
BIG 👍🏼 for both Q&A videos. As you said, The LORD sent you to FL for a season. Thank you for sharing with others what you learned. Now it’s a NEW season & we, “Brownies,” are ready to share it with you. There’s NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
Your dog is soooo cute. Thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions, it was so interesting to watch! Could you maybe do a tutorial on the makeup you have on, please? Or any other glittery looks :D Love you, you're the best
I really just love to put one of your videos on while I'm on my way to work or doing chores around the house :) Your enthusiasm is really uplifting. Thanks!
I love watching the Disney videos and have subscribed! I'm going next year for the FIRST TIME and have already started planning. Also, I just have to say that you have the best dimples ever! I'm jealous! :)
CONGRATS ON 40K IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I’ve been following your TH-cam journey and have seen how far you have come! I live in Washington too! I need to run into you one day 😂
That's a good idea! I try to keep the titles of the questions up on the screen so if someone was scrolling through they could skip around and see which questions I'm answering. But I think I could include time stamps too!
so happy to be a Brownie! your makeup is fabulous as ever (and omg you'd be a PERFECT Fairy Godmother In-Training at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!) 💕also can totally relate hard to "I love to sleep in, it's like one of my favorite pastimes" 😂💤 I definitely have the fear/anxiety of feeling too old at DCP if I get accepted again, I'll be turning 23 during the spring program, but I'm hoping to make the most of it regardless- I feel like overall I'd just be thrilled to be there in the first place! and btw, I got the seasonal Character Performer job at the theme park that's local to me! I'm very excited to spend some time with my friends in Bikini Bottom! 🍍 here's five-ish rapid-fire q's if you wanna answer, just for fun! 🔥 1) do you like to sing?/do you have a go-to favorite song to sing? 2) what attraction do you never skip out on during a trip to the Disney Parks? 3) what's a food item you've always wanted to try from any of the Parks, but never have tried? 4) have you or any of your magical friends ever seen any celebrities or other notable people while working at the Parks? (or while visiting) 5) if you were to cast the upcoming live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, is there anyone you'd love to see in it? thanks for making these videos and engaging with all us Brownies! you always have the kindest heart and fill us in with really great info & tips! 😍
Yay! I'm so glad to hear you got the job - that's wonderful news!! 1. I do like to sing, I just don't do it well! Haha I mainly reserve my singing for car rides! 2. I try not to miss Splash Mountain, it's one of my favorites! 3. That's a tough one! I've pretty much tried everything I've wanted to! Like there hasn't been a time where I'm like "that sounds really good but maybe next time". EXCEPT I just remembered that there was this mac and cheese dog thing at California Adventure that I didn't try because I wasn't hungry. But it looked GOOD! I want to try it next time! 4. Yes - Scarlett Johansson, Ariana Grande, Jason Derulo, Neil Patrick Harris, Kelly Ripa and Vince Vaughn. Those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head! 5. I don't know if you've seen The Vampire Diaries, but I would LOVE to see Ian Somelhalder as Prince Eric! I think he'd be a good one!
ahhh love your answers, thanks for answering! (& thank you re: the job!! 💖) I've never been on Splash Mountain- I know! I was a bit young the first time I visited the Parks, and it was closed the second time I went, but it's on my wishlist of rides to go on if&when I make it back soon! That mac & cheese dog sounds awesome, I think I may have seen a pic of it somewhere, yuuuuuum now I'm super hungry! and omg yes, Ian totally has the Prince Eric vibe, I could defs see that casting!
Hi Mackenzie! I just wanted to comment in regards to the question if you want experience to be a character, one of my good friends works at a party company where she gets to hang out with tons of different princesses when they go to birthday parties and sometimes even bigger events like fundraisers (my friend has worked at events for Dance Marathon and the Make a Wish Foundation!). She loves it, and I always tell her she should try a Disney audition. From what she told me, it could be a really good opportunity to learn about that sort of role, especially working with kids. I think a lot of different cities have companies like the one she works for so it could be one way! I have never worked for one or at anything like Disney so I can't say for sure, but I just wanted to put that out there! It also is a fun way to be a princess if Disney is a bit too far to work or not something you want to do or are able to do. :)
I think that would be a great experience! I do feel like I should say - from what I heard, Disney isn't too fond of the "princess parties". Mainly because they're making money off of their copyrighted characters. I could be wrong, but I've heard that Disneyland will check to see if the women auditioning post about that on their Instagram, and if they do they won't hire them. Again, this is just what I've heard, but I would hate for it to ruin your friend's chances if she does want to work for Disney! But if you know you don't want to work for Disney specifically or can't, it's a great alternative!
Oh gotcha, that makes sense! Thank you for letting me know or anyone else who may be reading! I am not sure if my friend will, but I'll definitely let her know if she does end up possibly attending an audition. I know for though it is a good spot for her! :)
Congratulations on the HUGE influx of subscribers! That is fantastic! And I love the new channel picture, its super cute!! Thank you for answering all of these wonderful questions, I passed the video information on to my daughter. She would like to work for Disney one day, and these were all great tips and tricks!!
Thanks Chandra! I tried to change it a while ago but I just noticed yesterday that it didn't actually change! Haha oh awesome! How old is your daughter?
The picture looks fabulous!! My daughter will be 15 next month. She wants to do the college program for music. But she wants to work at Disney so much though shes willing to take any job with the college program. She's started watching your videos so she knows what to start expecting. 🐱
Oh cool! So she still has a few years to prepare. I don't think there's any jobs related to music through the college program though. The only jobs offered are the ones in the theme park. She might want to look into the professional internships?
A tip for the halloween party is that's you can go earlier than than the party starts. When I went in 2017 I was able to go early (I forget exactly the time) and stand in line to meet Moana who's line ended up 2ish hours once the party officially started
Yes to bringing your own food! When I went a few years ago my friends and I brought pb&j sandwiches and snacks into the park and would eat them in line to save time! Kind of off topic but could you fo a video about filling in sparse brows? My natural hair color is dirty blonde and my brows are sparse because of that. Always look forward to your vids!
Haha I was literally thinking to myself last night, "I wonder if I should do a video on how to work with sparse brows"! Great minds think alike! In the mean time - I love Benefit Cosmetic's Gimme Brow. The fibers will attach to your brow hairs and even if you have sparse brows they will make them look a lot thicker! But they'll still look natural at the same time!
Hi! I just found your channel and it's amazing! You are so pretty and I love hearing about what it's like at Disney! When are you doing your next Q&A? I have a question about working at Disney but I missed this one.
I went in July and no joke I’ve never been so hot as in the UK it’s not that hot or humid whereas the US is the complete opposite! Although the Park was very busy some of the wait times were quite manageable and if you have your fast passes it makes it a lot easier. Can’t wait to go back as I miss it already!
As long as you have a plan (vs. aimlessly deciding what to do as your day goes on) you can definitely get done most, if not all, of what you want to do! But putting up with the heat and crowds can be rough!
kenziemacbrown my whole family is Disney crazy so our trip was planned a month before we went so we knew what we were doing everyday! The heat was tough and the crowds were hectic too!
I was gutted when they got rid of Ariel's Grotto. When came over to visit my best friend, my 21st birthday present from her was to have lunch there and it was so magical! Your doggie is gorgeous btw xx
Me too! It was sad when they got rid of the original Ariel's Grotto (where the Tinkerbell meet and greet is). I don't even know the last time I was able to eat at the restaurant :(
Thank you!! I always worry about doing full-on makeup on my channel (since I know most people don't wear that), but I use makeup as my creative outlet :)
I saw the comment that that person posted on your video and you re posted it on your insta was horrible. I just wanted to say that I LOVE YOUR MAKEUP! I wish I was that good.
I loved this video, I watched it while I baked some chocolate chip cookies! :) I am a sophomore in college and plan on applying to the DCP junior year! Your answers are always so helpful and I love that we all share the love of Disney on this channel!
Hahah oh my gosh that's perfect! Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite! That sounds like a great plan, I hope you get the chance to do it! And me too, it's definitely something we all share in common :)
Thank you for everything you do!!! 💕💖 proud Brownie, always. Can’t wait to go to WDW hopefully next October and I‘m hoping to get to see Beast, Belle and Ariel in her Grotto of course. And go to Mickey’s not so scary too. I’m working on an Aquata costume, hoping to get to see Ariel in her Grotto wearing it and hear what she thinks! and I never got to do that before - visiting the Grotto - so I‘m sure it‘ll be wonderful! Also so sad they don’t have Ariel‘s Grotto anymore in California Adventure 😞 Also wanted to ask if you‘ve ever considered doing the „Retired Disney Princess Tag“ by Erika Moulton (with whom you‘ve collaborated in the past) & Jennifer Oakes. I would just LOVE to see you do it and hear what you have to say. Also I think you can do it your way and keep Character integrity while doing it. I dunno, just thought of that for a while now and thought i‘ll just bring it up, as I think a lotta Brownies would love to see that too... just a thought. 🤩 lots of Love your way and happy holidays!! ❄️🎅🏻🎄💖
I would love to see a video on the Halloween Party like idea you mentioned! I'm so excited that I'm going to go for the first time this year and feel very underprepared because Disney doesn't publicize that much. :) As always, I love to hear your thoughts on all things.
I actually filmed it last week so that's perfect! Haha it's just for Disney World (since that's the only one I've experienced) but I might make one for Disneyland too! Would you go to the Disney World one or Disneyland one?
I looove your name for us, and all your tips!! Also, for students wanting to visit, I go to Disney World in December every year the week before our 2 weeks of break and its not all that busy! I think our longest wait times were 120 minutes on Mine Train but all the lines were great overall !!! 💜💜
YAY BROWNIES ALL THE WAY! 💛 Ah, I just can't get enough of your Disney vids! Especially these Q&As are super informative and fun. This was perfect to listen to while I was laying in the sun the other day. ☀️ By the way I'd love to see more Disney inspired makeup looks. They don't have to do anything with the official character performer makeup looks of course but like you've made Disney makeup looks in the past, I'd like to see more of those! Maybe a little Disney makeup series for Halloween this year? 🎃 (You can tell I'm already super excited for Fall haha!)
Thanks Vilma!! I really want to do a series like that but I haven't decided how I'm going to do it yet. Like I kinda want to do a "natural" makeup series that hint at characters (like using purple eyeshadow for Ariel and maybe a coral lipstick). But I'm such a perfectionist I'm afraid to do it and hate what I come up with! Haha I think I've just put an unrealistic amount of pressure on myself because I want to create something unique which is a challenge.
Haha no worries I get it! Being a bit of a perfectionist myself as well so I get it. I know whatever you come up with will be great though. Your skills and creativity with makeup is something that I really admire! 💛
This is so helpful omg💗 I’ve been an AP for 2 years and I still dont have park visit timing down😂 Also I’m so excited that you finally decided to call us Brownies😊 It’s so cute!!
I love the brownies name!!Also I'd just like to say You have been such a inspiration to me. Your always so positive and nice about even the worst situations and I just love watching you!!I just wanted to say how much you make me happy and delighted when I watch your channel so thank you !!!!!! 😁
Logan you are so kind and thoughtful, thank you! I really appreciate it :) if my channel could somehow brighten your day then I'm doing something right :)
Amazing video! Thank you so much for answering my question. I was also wondering if there was a way to thank cast members. We're going on our honeymoon/one year anniversary next year and I'd love to be able to thank cast members for making our trip magical. Should I bring little thank you cards to write as we go through our trip or does Disney have another way to send thank you notes? When you call us brownies it reminds me of my childhood when I was a brownie for girl scouts and had to do a bunch of activities to get patches for my vest. Sort of similar to you missing Seattle when you lived in Florida there are so many times that I miss New Jersey because that's where I grew up especially the food. There are so many food items that just don't exist in Oregon that do in New Jersey and when I bring it up to my friends they look at me funny or tease me when I use an east coast phrase. I've lived in quite a few places so I've had to get used to new things. Nick and I celebrated hocus pocus 25th anniversary last night by watching the movie it was so much fun. I hope you are doing well and I hope you have a wonderful week.
Katya S yessss I’m from New Jersey! Lol pork roll and tasty cakes come to mind instantly! Both of my aunts whom have since moved to Cali buy it and bring it home with them whenever they visit! lol where in NJ are you from? What foods do you not have now that you miss most?!
Stephanie Mickle I'm from Long Valley, New Jersey (Northern NJ). I miss minute steaks, Italian ice, bagels, really good donuts, custard (soft serve ice cream) that's not DQ, really good pizza and really good Asian food and if course tasty cakes. I also really miss ocean city, NJ.
You can go to the city hall in Main Street and write a guest compliment for a cast member! It’s good to remember their name, where they work, what their job was, and it’s nice to write out what specific part of your experience with them was magical for you!
I agree with Vanessa - you can go to any guest services at any park and write what's called a "Fanatic Card". And they'll go on the employee's record, so if at some point they wanted a different role in the company or to become a manager that could help them!
Oh my gosh I absolutely loved this video. I learned so many more new things! I love the new name for us! "Brownies" is super adorable! Also, please make a video about Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party! It would be so cool. I enjoy watching your videos every Tuesday! Hope you have a good day, bye!
Hey Kenzie! I love your videos so much and really want to hang out with a character when I’m old enough! You really inspire me and keep me believing that dreams come true! Have you worked holidays like Christmas and Halloween and is it harder or easier? Do you have a favorite time to work?
Thanks Jordonna!! Yes, when I did the college program in 2015 I worked during Halloween and Christmas! And there were pros and cons. It was really cool to spend the holidays there, and see how it was decorated! As a kid I always dreamed of being able to see Disney during the holidays (but couldn't because I was always in school during that time). But the downside was that it was crowded, overall I feel like guests were quicker to get upset, and I missed my family. But I mean out of all the years I have to celebrate Halloween and Christmas (25 so far), I think I can afford to spend one away from my family :) I hope you get the chance to be a performer someday!
do you have to be able to sing if you are a character performer? for example, if you were friends with ariel, would ariel have to be able to sing “part of your world” well?
proud to be a brownie ☺️ I would love a mickeys not so scary video!!! I’m also missing ur guest stories ik your crazy guest stories is pretty finished but maybe u could do touching stories, showing gifts from Ariel, etc 💓💓
That is such a good/tough question! Mainly because my favorites are all still there! I think I'd have to say probably Ariel's Grotto Meet and Greet (the one at Disneyland that was replaced by Tinkerbell).
Hey. I just discovered your channel and now I'm hooked. Have been binge watching them one after them other. I think I became a "Brownie" 2 mins into the second vid I watched. I'm going to disney world next mth and am superrrrr excited. How is the crowds generally in the first week and weekend of December?
Aww thanks Jessica! That's awesome, I'm so excited for you! Honestly, December's always crowded. BUT the first week is going to be the least crowded that month!
Please do a Mickey's not so Scary Halloween video! This is the first time I'm ever going to be here for it and I don't know when I might have another chance so I'd love to know more and get a game plan going
Omg love you 💓 I will be going to Disneyland in a week or so and have so many questions. Where do you leave your phone when you get on the water rides and what portable charger do you have? Thank you love you 💞💞
Fun!! I hope you have a wonderful trip! For the water rides there's usually spots where you can tuck a bag and keep it dry. So I'll just put my phone in my bag and I usually don't have any issues :) and I just got a random charger on Amazon!
I think it would be awesome!! I actually can't wait to see the live action movie that's coming out soon (not Disney related). But if Disney did do one, I would love to see someone like Ian Somelhalder as Prince Eric, I think he'd be perfect! I'm not sure who I would cast as Ariel, I'd have to think about it! I think having Rebel Wilson as Ursula would be SO funny. I know she was Ursula for a performance once, so I'm sure they could do it again!
I would love a Mickeys Halloween Party video! I went last year mid-September on a Tuesday to Disneyland (so I can’t speak for people who actually go on Halloween) and it was awesome! The lines for rides were SO short and getting candy was a breeze. And when one of the character attendants noticed our party was hesitant about waiting in line to meet Sally and Jack, they gave us tickets to meet them later and told us we could be in the front when we came back which is super nice! I know it’s pricey but I only had to pay for myself so it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely recommend going to anyone who can!
I think going in September definitely helps! It will pick up in October, but from when I went in September or early October the crowds weren't that bad!
Not sure you'll see this comment, but I was wondering how do you put Disney on your resume? Because it's such a huge company how do you do that and how often do you get questions about that?
That's a great question! I list both my roles and describe what I did. For character performer I would say "brought characters to life such as ......". I talked a lot about how I upheld the company values and what it was like working for a company well-known for guest service!
I’m going to WDW in a week, all the way from Mexico 🇲🇽 and I wondered... my brother is on a wheel chair, can he enjoy Disney as anybody else? What rides can he get in? It’s our first time there and he’s really excited but also concerned that he may not be able to meet his favorite characters of all time... thanks for the video I really liked it and also you have such positive vibes💕
Yes he can! In fact you can go to guest relations and see if you can get a pass that will allow you to skip the line. I think there's a specific name for it (I just can't remember) but it's for people in wheelchairs or that have disabilities. My brother-in-law is handicapped and needs a wheelchair at times and we've been able to do that with him at Disneyland. I can't say it's always faster, but it allows you to go on the ride a certain way that is wheelchair-friendly. For rides - most if not all should be wheelchair accessible! Same with meeting characters, guests come in all the time in wheelchairs. It's totally normal there! You guys are going to have so much fun! :)
I try my best to make sure this question maintains character integrity. So Ariel at Walt Disney world is a mermaid how does she get off her shell when she needs to go swim with the fishes for a little bit. Does someone pick her up or can the shell move? I’m not sure how fully you can answer this question but I’m curious.
Unfortunately I can't answer that question, but if you think through it I think you'll begin to realize how difficult it would be to find someone strong enough to carry Ariel at the drop of a hat :)
What to do at rope drop DOES depend on what park. I applied my final semester of senior year and DIDN’T get in. 😔 You are really great at upholding character integrity. For Pooh at Disneyland they don’t have a photopass, so I put my phone on video and let the attendants know. They then also screencapped while taking video (which I didn’t even know was a thing they could do). A cast member saw my Premium Plus Annual Pass when I was last at DW and asked me which park I prefer and I answered Disneyland. This was a day when I took a boat from my hotel to Disney Springs and then two buses from Springs to Animal Kingdom and then a bus back to Disney Springs and then a bus back to my hotel. Obviously, for me, Disney World is TOO spread out. I LOVE how close everything is in Disneyland. My favorite thing at Disneyland’s Halloween party was trick or treating and then watching the parade, which was really unique. I FORGOT about the music they used to play at DCA. Good memories. 😊😊😊
So true! Oh no! See I would never want to recommend someone wait until the last minute to apply, because there is the chance of that happening! Oh that's awesome! I will admit, some photopass/attendants are more tech-savvy than others! But that's nice they did that for you! Haha so true, Disneyland is a lot easier to get around! And park hop too! I LOVE the parade! It's one of my favorites! I used to watch it all the time when I was an attendant! Yeah that music was the BEST! I wish they'd bring it back (like maybe on the weekends or for special events).
A question that I have is let’s say I wanted to be a dancer in the parades, do they have specific auditions for those roles or do you just go to regular auditions for performers and they will cast you as a dancer in the parades? By the way I love your videos so much thank you for going out of your way to make such amazing videos!! 😊💕
Honestly, I wasn't super in to Marvel until recently. But I would say favorite Male Superhero is Black Panther, but I'm not sure about female. Can I say Okoye? Haha I don't know if she would technically be considered a superhero, but she's definitely a badass!
Congrats on 40k!!! Sry I'm so late to watch this video, I'm really enjoying these q and a's! Great work Kenzie! Wait I have a question lol: are characters required to know every detail from their movie? Like has there ever been a time when a guest asked a question that the character didn't know? Ps. Cute doggo!!!!! 🐶
Thanks Jenn! Welllll I think it would be weird if a character didn't remember a basic detail from the movie. But there is a chance they might not remember what the name of Trader Oaken's youngest child! Haha or if they have lots of siblings that have similar names that could get confusing. I think most performers know as much as needed to do their role well, but there will always be huge Disney fans that will try to trip them up (which I don't think is super nice, but it happens).
Hi Kenzie! I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Also, I have a question for you. After the Disney College Program, where you offered to continue working at Disney World or did you have to apply for another job to work for Disney?
Thanks Kelly! I auditioned while I was living there and just happened to get offered a role at the end of my college program. So they were technically two separate jobs. After my program ended I was on my own for housing and transportation and had to find a place to live and had to ship my car out.

The heart above you kinda looks like Minnie ears 😂
Hello there. Are you a Big Brother fan too? I could've sworn I've seen you somewhere.
Jenn'sCrazyLife that's what i thought as well!!
Haha I got that comment a lot in the last video I did too!
El Gatoman yasss!!!! I want to go on the show one day!
kenziemacbrown aha I love it!
Honestly your words on how you were able to appreciate your time there in the end really made me realize that I need to start being more appreciative of waking up every day and live life more positively and to the fullest. You're amazing as always✌😍
I can never get enough Disney videos!☺️ Your positivity is truly inspiring - thank you for being you and sharing your thoughts on youtube to us Brownies!😉💗
You are so sweet! Thanks Maddi! There's a lot of negativity on TH-cam and on social media in general. So I always try to create positive and uplifting content :)
I love your new name for us! And now I want a brownie! You enjoy want your doing and have been a huge inspiration for me and everyone who follows you. We brownies will live you forever more!
You are so sweet and kind, thank you! I'm glad you like the name Brownies, I thought it was a good fit :)
I love your videos! I just wanted to share one of my favorite Disney World stories just for the heck of it: my younger sister and I are both shy, My shyness is much much worse than hers though. I was in about the 6th grade and already was self conscious about being too old for character meet and greets for some reason, so most of my conversations with princesses just included a “hello” and then letting my sister pick up the conversation. However my favorite interaction was with Tinkerbell... my sister and I were already laughing about what she had said to the families in front of us. When we got up to her, she looked at our sweatshirts and read the words on them, I was wearing a Gap sweatshirt and my sister’s said “Gymnast”. Tink asked if those were our names. I said no, and she immediately started yelling at me for stealing it from someone named Gap. It was hilarious. She even made a video with us saying hi to our cousin, who had cancer at the time. On our way out, she yelled after me, “I’m gonna tell Gap you have her shirt!” It was an overall great experience, and was the highlight of that trip. Sorry for the long story and thanks for making these videos, I love them!
Hahaha oh my gosh that's so funny! I can totally see Tinkerbell saying that too - she's so sassy!
What a great story Abigail - loved it! Never too old for Characters!
Mouse Street TV I know, I was going through a weird phase then where I thought I was too old for everything... not like an I’m-too-cool-for-this kind of thing, more of a I-really-want-to-do-this-but-people-will-think-I’m-weird kind of thing. The Tinkerbell experience was my favorite though because most characters tried to engage my sister, but Tink made it really special and fun for both of us.😊
Such a sweet Story... that‘s Disney Magic!
I love how positive you are!
You are so nice! Thanks Julie! :)
Past midnight... 30 minute video... Worth it 100%
Hahaha thanks!
Love this q & a! You always have such a bright smile and a joyful attitude. You have a very special channel!!
You are the nicest person! Thanks Emily! :)
your positive energy makes me so happy! thank you for all your amazing videos! ❤️
Awww thanks Emma! You are so sweet!
"brownies" sounds so cute ♥
I’ve been to Disney world 9 times and I have found that Labor Day week is THE BEST!!!! there are absolutely no crowds the weather is really good and if you stay in the pop century you get deluxe dining free!!!! This is one of my favorite tips and I have tons more!
Really?! I had no idea! That's such a great tip!
kenziemacbrown yep!!!! I know tons of little Disney hacks from how to get in to fancy restaurants without a reservation to how to be first in line for new rides without a fast pass!!
I went to Disneyland in February and it was the shortest lines I've ever seen! Easily got through over a dozen if not over 20 rides with several breaks. I went superbowl weekend which I think helped there be lower crowds. Weather was perfect too!
You're right! Typically during any big sporting event the crowds are going to be down, which is super nice!
I love how encouraging you are and your advice that you give it is so realistic and relatable and thanks for sharing your love of disney
You are so sweet! Thank you!
All of your videos are so interesting to watch, I love how warm and enthusiastic you are Mackenzie! Hope you're having a great day! Xx
You are so nice! Thanks Caitie! I have a lot of fun creating my videos so I'm glad they're entertaining! :)
I love being a Brownie💕😊
Btw I’m going to Disney Land next week so I will totally use your tips to interact with characters.
Fun!! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
I love how open, honest and grateful you are!! It’s really cool hearing your take on some park questions and it’s always a treat hearing about your own experience. And I can totally understand your reasoning for why you left the company when you did. It was incredibly smart and I’m sure not as easy as it sounds so props you! Also your makeup looks amazing in this video! Can’t wait for more of your videos :)
Thanks Allie! You always have the nicest things to say! I really appreciate it :) and yes, it was not easy to leave at all. But overall there was a lot of uncertainty if I stayed (whether or not I would get more opportunities) and the risk wasn't really worth the reward. Also I'm really glad I can look back on my experience with fond memories, when I have lots of friends that are completely worn out working there.
BIG 👍🏼 for both Q&A videos. As you said, The LORD sent you to FL for a season. Thank you for sharing with others what you learned. Now it’s a NEW season & we, “Brownies,” are ready to share it with you. There’s NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
So true Maryellen! And I love being home :)
This makeup look is GORGEOUS I'd love to see a tutorial!
Thanks Madalyn!! :)
Would love to see a video comparing Disney Workd and Disneyland (multiple locations if you've been to more than one!)
That's so funny because I'm actually working on that right now! It'll be one of my upcoming videos :)
Love your makeup in this video!
Thank you!
Congrats on 40k!
Thanks Eva!!
Your dog is soooo cute. Thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions, it was so interesting to watch! Could you maybe do a tutorial on the makeup you have on, please? Or any other glittery looks :D Love you, you're the best
Thanks Jimena!! :) I might do a glittery eyeshadow look, I wasn't crazy about the shadows I used, they weren't the easiest to work with!
I really just love to put one of your videos on while I'm on my way to work or doing chores around the house :) Your enthusiasm is really uplifting. Thanks!
I love watching the Disney videos and have subscribed! I'm going next year for the FIRST TIME and have already started planning. Also, I just have to say that you have the best dimples ever! I'm jealous! :)
CONGRATS ON 40K IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I’ve been following your TH-cam journey and have seen how far you have come! I live in Washington too! I need to run into you one day 😂
Thank you!! It's so crazy for me to believe! Haha yes, Washitonians unite!
Proud Brownie here! :) Would you consider including timestamps in the info box for these kind of videos?
That's a good idea! I try to keep the titles of the questions up on the screen so if someone was scrolling through they could skip around and see which questions I'm answering. But I think I could include time stamps too!
Your dog is too cute!! Congrats on 40 thousand subscribers. That's amazing!
Thanks Beckett!! I know, it's pretty crazy to me!
Love that we’re called brownies it’s so cute! Your make up looks amaaaazing in this video 😍
Thanks Becky!! I was playing around with it before I filmed this video :)
Yay! Congrats on 40k!! You deserve it!! Ly💕💕
Thanks Emma!!
I love brownies. Its so cute!!!!
so happy to be a Brownie! your makeup is fabulous as ever (and omg you'd be a PERFECT Fairy Godmother In-Training at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!) 💕also can totally relate hard to "I love to sleep in, it's like one of my favorite pastimes" 😂💤
I definitely have the fear/anxiety of feeling too old at DCP if I get accepted again, I'll be turning 23 during the spring program, but I'm hoping to make the most of it regardless- I feel like overall I'd just be thrilled to be there in the first place! and btw, I got the seasonal Character Performer job at the theme park that's local to me! I'm very excited to spend some time with my friends in Bikini Bottom! 🍍
here's five-ish rapid-fire q's if you wanna answer, just for fun! 🔥
1) do you like to sing?/do you have a go-to favorite song to sing?
2) what attraction do you never skip out on during a trip to the Disney Parks?
3) what's a food item you've always wanted to try from any of the Parks, but never have tried?
4) have you or any of your magical friends ever seen any celebrities or other notable people while working at the Parks? (or while visiting)
5) if you were to cast the upcoming live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, is there anyone you'd love to see in it?
thanks for making these videos and engaging with all us Brownies! you always have the kindest heart and fill us in with really great info & tips! 😍
Yay! I'm so glad to hear you got the job - that's wonderful news!!
1. I do like to sing, I just don't do it well! Haha I mainly reserve my singing for car rides!
2. I try not to miss Splash Mountain, it's one of my favorites!
3. That's a tough one! I've pretty much tried everything I've wanted to! Like there hasn't been a time where I'm like "that sounds really good but maybe next time". EXCEPT I just remembered that there was this mac and cheese dog thing at California Adventure that I didn't try because I wasn't hungry. But it looked GOOD! I want to try it next time!
4. Yes - Scarlett Johansson, Ariana Grande, Jason Derulo, Neil Patrick Harris, Kelly Ripa and Vince Vaughn. Those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head!
5. I don't know if you've seen The Vampire Diaries, but I would LOVE to see Ian Somelhalder as Prince Eric! I think he'd be a good one!
ahhh love your answers, thanks for answering! (& thank you re: the job!! 💖)
I've never been on Splash Mountain- I know! I was a bit young the first time I visited the Parks, and it was closed the second time I went, but it's on my wishlist of rides to go on if&when I make it back soon! That mac & cheese dog sounds awesome, I think I may have seen a pic of it somewhere, yuuuuuum now I'm super hungry! and omg yes, Ian totally has the Prince Eric vibe, I could defs see that casting!
Hi Mackenzie! I just wanted to comment in regards to the question if you want experience to be a character, one of my good friends works at a party company where she gets to hang out with tons of different princesses when they go to birthday parties and sometimes even bigger events like fundraisers (my friend has worked at events for Dance Marathon and the Make a Wish Foundation!). She loves it, and I always tell her she should try a Disney audition. From what she told me, it could be a really good opportunity to learn about that sort of role, especially working with kids. I think a lot of different cities have companies like the one she works for so it could be one way! I have never worked for one or at anything like Disney so I can't say for sure, but I just wanted to put that out there! It also is a fun way to be a princess if Disney is a bit too far to work or not something you want to do or are able to do. :)
I think that would be a great experience! I do feel like I should say - from what I heard, Disney isn't too fond of the "princess parties". Mainly because they're making money off of their copyrighted characters. I could be wrong, but I've heard that Disneyland will check to see if the women auditioning post about that on their Instagram, and if they do they won't hire them. Again, this is just what I've heard, but I would hate for it to ruin your friend's chances if she does want to work for Disney!
But if you know you don't want to work for Disney specifically or can't, it's a great alternative!
Oh gotcha, that makes sense! Thank you for letting me know or anyone else who may be reading! I am not sure if my friend will, but I'll definitely let her know if she does end up possibly attending an audition. I know for though it is a good spot for her! :)
Congratulations on the HUGE influx of subscribers! That is fantastic! And I love the new channel picture, its super cute!! Thank you for answering all of these wonderful questions, I passed the video information on to my daughter. She would like to work for Disney one day, and these were all great tips and tricks!!
Thanks Chandra! I tried to change it a while ago but I just noticed yesterday that it didn't actually change! Haha oh awesome! How old is your daughter?
The picture looks fabulous!! My daughter will be 15 next month. She wants to do the college program for music. But she wants to work at Disney so much though shes willing to take any job with the college program. She's started watching your videos so she knows what to start expecting. 🐱
Oh cool! So she still has a few years to prepare. I don't think there's any jobs related to music through the college program though. The only jobs offered are the ones in the theme park. She might want to look into the professional internships?
Oh, that is a great idea, thank you for giving us the heads up!
Yes please do a whole video on Mickey’s Halloween Party!! I really want to go to Disneyland on Halloween one year :)
I already filmed the one for Disney World (I just need to edit it) and I might be doing one on Disneyland too!
kenziemacbrown ok that sounds great! ❤️❤️ thank you!
I love your Q&A videos so much, they’re always so much fun!
Thanks Sam!
This is so interesting I love your chatty videos 😍
Thanks Katie!
A tip for the halloween party is that's you can go earlier than than the party starts. When I went in 2017 I was able to go early (I forget exactly the time) and stand in line to meet Moana who's line ended up 2ish hours once the party officially started
So true! I've hopped in to Jack and Sally's line around 5pm (when the party starts at 7pm) and have been able to see them right when it opens!
Yes to bringing your own food! When I went a few years ago my friends and I brought pb&j sandwiches and snacks into the park and would eat them in line to save time! Kind of off topic but could you fo a video about filling in sparse brows? My natural hair color is dirty blonde and my brows are sparse because of that. Always look forward to your vids!
Haha I was literally thinking to myself last night, "I wonder if I should do a video on how to work with sparse brows"! Great minds think alike! In the mean time - I love Benefit Cosmetic's Gimme Brow. The fibers will attach to your brow hairs and even if you have sparse brows they will make them look a lot thicker! But they'll still look natural at the same time!
This time next week I'll be back at Disney World and this video has made me even more excited!! Much love x
Oh yay!! I hope you have a wonderful trip Chloe!
Thank you so much for answering my question. ❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome! :)
Looooove all of your videos! Your positivity and energy is contagious! ❤️
You are so sweet! Thank you!
Hi! I just found your channel and it's amazing! You are so pretty and I love hearing about what it's like at Disney! When are you doing your next Q&A? I have a question about working at Disney but I missed this one.
I'm not sure but what's your question?
That’s so cute! Love brownies💓
U deserve like a million subscribers,your the cutest❤️
You are so nice! Thank you Nikos!
I live your heart in the background ❤️❤️💟 and I like your makeup
Thanks Eunice!!
I went in July and no joke I’ve never been so hot as in the UK it’s not that hot or humid whereas the US is the complete opposite! Although the Park was very busy some of the wait times were quite manageable and if you have your fast passes it makes it a lot easier. Can’t wait to go back as I miss it already!
As long as you have a plan (vs. aimlessly deciding what to do as your day goes on) you can definitely get done most, if not all, of what you want to do! But putting up with the heat and crowds can be rough!
kenziemacbrown my whole family is Disney crazy so our trip was planned a month before we went so we knew what we were doing everyday! The heat was tough and the crowds were hectic too!
I was gutted when they got rid of Ariel's Grotto. When came over to visit my best friend, my 21st birthday present from her was to have lunch there and it was so magical! Your doggie is gorgeous btw xx
Me too! It was sad when they got rid of the original Ariel's Grotto (where the Tinkerbell meet and greet is). I don't even know the last time I was able to eat at the restaurant :(
We did rope drop for the Christmas taping too !!
Oh yeah!!! I forgot about that! Haha
Thank you so much for mentioning my question! Really appreciate it! Love you so much!
You're so welcome! :)
love ur makeup look! and this video was so helpful
Thank you!! I always worry about doing full-on makeup on my channel (since I know most people don't wear that), but I use makeup as my creative outlet :)
I would love if you vlogged:)
Well that works great for me, I love vlogging!! :)
I saw the comment that that person posted on your video and you re posted it on your insta was horrible. I just wanted to say that I LOVE YOUR MAKEUP! I wish I was that good.
Awwww thanks Clara! Honestly they were just being so absurd, it was comical. But thank you, I really appreciate it!
I loved this video, I watched it while I baked some chocolate chip cookies! :) I am a sophomore in college and plan on applying to the DCP junior year! Your answers are always so helpful and I love that we all share the love of Disney on this channel!
Hahah oh my gosh that's perfect! Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite! That sounds like a great plan, I hope you get the chance to do it! And me too, it's definitely something we all share in common :)
Aww I love the name & your channel!!! Thank you for answering so many questions!!!💕💕💕😘
Thanks Grace!! :)
Thank you for everything you do!!! 💕💖 proud Brownie, always.
Can’t wait to go to WDW hopefully next October and I‘m hoping to get to see Beast, Belle and Ariel in her Grotto of course. And go to Mickey’s not so scary too. I’m working on an Aquata costume, hoping to get to see Ariel in her Grotto wearing it and hear what she thinks! and I never got to do that before - visiting the Grotto - so I‘m sure it‘ll be wonderful! Also so sad they don’t have Ariel‘s Grotto anymore in California Adventure 😞
Also wanted to ask if you‘ve ever considered doing the „Retired Disney Princess Tag“ by Erika Moulton (with whom you‘ve collaborated in the past) & Jennifer Oakes. I would just LOVE to see you do it and hear what you have to say. Also I think you can do it your way and keep Character integrity while doing it. I dunno, just thought of that for a while now and thought i‘ll just bring it up, as I think a lotta Brownies would love to see that too... just a thought. 🤩 lots of Love your way and happy holidays!! ❄️🎅🏻🎄💖
Yay! I’m glad you picked brownies! Super cute ☺️💕
Thanks McKinley!
I would love to see a video on the Halloween Party like idea you mentioned! I'm so excited that I'm going to go for the first time this year and feel very underprepared because Disney doesn't publicize that much. :) As always, I love to hear your thoughts on all things.
I actually filmed it last week so that's perfect! Haha it's just for Disney World (since that's the only one I've experienced) but I might make one for Disneyland too! Would you go to the Disney World one or Disneyland one?
kenziemacbrown Good timing haha. That’s lovely-can’t wait to watch. I’m going to Disney World!
I looove your name for us, and all your tips!! Also, for students wanting to visit, I go to Disney World in December every year the week before our 2 weeks of break and its not all that busy! I think our longest wait times were 120 minutes on Mine Train but all the lines were great overall !!! 💜💜
That's a great tip!! I would agree, that time is definitely less busy than during the week of Christmas.
YAY BROWNIES ALL THE WAY! 💛 Ah, I just can't get enough of your Disney vids! Especially these Q&As are super informative and fun. This was perfect to listen to while I was laying in the sun the other day. ☀️
By the way I'd love to see more Disney inspired makeup looks. They don't have to do anything with the official character performer makeup looks of course but like you've made Disney makeup looks in the past, I'd like to see more of those! Maybe a little Disney makeup series for Halloween this year? 🎃 (You can tell I'm already super excited for Fall haha!)
Thanks Vilma!! I really want to do a series like that but I haven't decided how I'm going to do it yet. Like I kinda want to do a "natural" makeup series that hint at characters (like using purple eyeshadow for Ariel and maybe a coral lipstick). But I'm such a perfectionist I'm afraid to do it and hate what I come up with! Haha I think I've just put an unrealistic amount of pressure on myself because I want to create something unique which is a challenge.
Haha no worries I get it! Being a bit of a perfectionist myself as well so I get it. I know whatever you come up with will be great though. Your skills and creativity with makeup is something that I really admire! 💛
This is so helpful omg💗 I’ve been an AP for 2 years and I still dont have park visit timing down😂 Also I’m so excited that you finally decided to call us Brownies😊 It’s so cute!!
Haha even during the slow times it can be uncommonly busy! So it's hard to get the timing right!
I love your q&a videos!✨🏰😍
Thanks Emily!
I love the brownies name!!Also I'd just like to say You have been such a inspiration to me. Your always so positive and nice about even the worst situations and I just love watching you!!I just wanted to say how much you make me happy and delighted when I watch your channel so thank you !!!!!! 😁
Logan you are so kind and thoughtful, thank you! I really appreciate it :) if my channel could somehow brighten your day then I'm doing something right :)
You certainly are and thank you!
Please make a video on the Halloween events!!!
Love this so much!!! Have a wonderful day Kenzie!
PS. Your dog is sooo cute!!! Hi Zoey!
Thanks Kendra!! I hope you have a great day too :) and thanks, I think she's pretty cute, but I'm a little biased!
Amazing video! Thank you so much for answering my question. I was also wondering if there was a way to thank cast members. We're going on our honeymoon/one year anniversary next year and I'd love to be able to thank cast members for making our trip magical. Should I bring little thank you cards to write as we go through our trip or does Disney have another way to send thank you notes? When you call us brownies it reminds me of my childhood when I was a brownie for girl scouts and had to do a bunch of activities to get patches for my vest. Sort of similar to you missing Seattle when you lived in Florida there are so many times that I miss New Jersey because that's where I grew up especially the food. There are so many food items that just don't exist in Oregon that do in New Jersey and when I bring it up to my friends they look at me funny or tease me when I use an east coast phrase. I've lived in quite a few places so I've had to get used to new things. Nick and I celebrated hocus pocus 25th anniversary last night by watching the movie it was so much fun. I hope you are doing well and I hope you have a wonderful week.
Katya S yessss I’m from New Jersey! Lol pork roll and tasty cakes come to mind instantly! Both of my aunts whom have since moved to Cali buy it and bring it home with them whenever they visit! lol where in NJ are you from? What foods do you not have now that you miss most?!
Stephanie Mickle I'm from Long Valley, New Jersey (Northern NJ). I miss minute steaks, Italian ice, bagels, really good donuts, custard (soft serve ice cream) that's not DQ, really good pizza and really good Asian food and if course tasty cakes. I also really miss ocean city, NJ.
You can go to the city hall in Main Street and write a guest compliment for a cast member! It’s good to remember their name, where they work, what their job was, and it’s nice to write out what specific part of your experience with them was magical for you!
I agree with Vanessa - you can go to any guest services at any park and write what's called a "Fanatic Card". And they'll go on the employee's record, so if at some point they wanted a different role in the company or to become a manager that could help them!
Oh my gosh I absolutely loved this video. I learned so many more new things! I love the new name for us! "Brownies" is super adorable! Also, please make a video about Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party! It would be so cool. I enjoy watching your videos every Tuesday! Hope you have a good day, bye!
You are so nice! Thanks Jaedin! I think I'll probably do the MNSSHP video in August (I'm pretty sure that's when the parties start?).
kenziemacbrown Yay! I'm so looking forward to it! Thank you so much for replying. Hope you have an amazing rest of your day!
I am so happy to be a brownie thank you for making me feel special and keep being yourself:)
Thanks Crystal! :)
Hey Kenzie! I love your videos so much and really want to hang out with a character when I’m old enough! You really inspire me and keep me believing that dreams come true! Have you worked holidays like Christmas and Halloween and is it harder or easier? Do you have a favorite time to work?
Thanks Jordonna!! Yes, when I did the college program in 2015 I worked during Halloween and Christmas! And there were pros and cons. It was really cool to spend the holidays there, and see how it was decorated! As a kid I always dreamed of being able to see Disney during the holidays (but couldn't because I was always in school during that time). But the downside was that it was crowded, overall I feel like guests were quicker to get upset, and I missed my family. But I mean out of all the years I have to celebrate Halloween and Christmas (25 so far), I think I can afford to spend one away from my family :) I hope you get the chance to be a performer someday!
So cool! Thank you so very much Kenzie! I really appreciate that!!💗
do you have to be able to sing if you are a character performer? for example, if you were friends with ariel, would ariel have to be able to sing “part of your world” well?
Nope! You would only sing if you were performing in one of the shows.
Woooo part 2!
Ur vids make me so happy! Your positivity and nature is so welcoming ly! Xx
Edit: thank u so much for replying! 😄
You are so sweet! Thank you so much Chloe, that is such a nice compliment :)
proud to be a brownie ☺️ I would love a mickeys not so scary video!!! I’m also missing ur guest stories ik your crazy guest stories is pretty finished but maybe u could do touching stories, showing gifts from Ariel, etc 💓💓
Haha I honestly think that was all the stories I had! I wish I had more! But I think I could do a video talking about my favorite Disney memories!
kenziemacbrown that would be so cool!
Thank you for answering my question!!
You're welcome :)
I did not know you were a cheer leader! I am on the squad at my school. What position in stunting did you do?
Very cool! I was a flier for a little bit (I really didn't like it) and I was mainly a base (I think it was called secondary).
I'm Going To Cosplay When I Go To Disneyland IN October As A Organization XIII Member From Kingdom Hearts.
Fun!!!
Could you make a video on Disneyland’s Halloween Party?
I've never been to Disneyland's Halloween Party, but I'm planning on making one for Disney World since it seems to be a popular request!
What is your favorite ride/show/whatever from when you went to Disney as a kid that is no longer there?
That is such a good/tough question! Mainly because my favorites are all still there! I think I'd have to say probably Ariel's Grotto Meet and Greet (the one at Disneyland that was replaced by Tinkerbell).
Hey. I just discovered your channel and now I'm hooked. Have been binge watching them one after them other. I think I became a "Brownie" 2 mins into the second vid I watched. I'm going to disney world next mth and am superrrrr excited. How is the crowds generally in the first week and weekend of December?
Aww thanks Jessica! That's awesome, I'm so excited for you! Honestly, December's always crowded. BUT the first week is going to be the least crowded that month!
your videos make me so happy💛✨
Thanks Serena! :) I'm so glad!
hi I love watching your vids❤ I just wonder if you can work in two roles at the same time like as a performer and a character attendant
Please do a Mickey's not so Scary Halloween video! This is the first time I'm ever going to be here for it and I don't know when I might have another chance so I'd love to know more and get a game plan going
Sounds good! When are you going? I can try to post it before you go!
I just found your channel and had to subscribe!! I love your videos :))
You are so nice! Thank you so much Christina!!
Omg love you 💓 I will be going to Disneyland in a week or so and have so many questions. Where do you leave your phone when you get on the water rides and what portable charger do you have? Thank you love you 💞💞
Fun!! I hope you have a wonderful trip! For the water rides there's usually spots where you can tuck a bag and keep it dry. So I'll just put my phone in my bag and I usually don't have any issues :) and I just got a random charger on Amazon!
Awesome!💞 Thank you!!
Once again I appreciate your videos :)
Thank you! :) you are so nice!
Ah!!!!!! The puppy!!!
What are your thoughts on a live action Little Mermaid and who would be your dream cast ? Amazing video as always !! Love your joyful spirit :)
I think it would be awesome!! I actually can't wait to see the live action movie that's coming out soon (not Disney related). But if Disney did do one, I would love to see someone like Ian Somelhalder as Prince Eric, I think he'd be perfect! I'm not sure who I would cast as Ariel, I'd have to think about it! I think having Rebel Wilson as Ursula would be SO funny. I know she was Ursula for a performance once, so I'm sure they could do it again!
kenziemacbrown I can't wait to see that one too !! I think it will be on Netflix :) Thank you so much for your reply !! And I love Rebel :)
Proud brownie right here!!!! 😘😘😘😘 Love u !!!!!
I would love a Mickeys Halloween Party video! I went last year mid-September on a Tuesday to Disneyland (so I can’t speak for people who actually go on Halloween) and it was awesome! The lines for rides were SO short and getting candy was a breeze. And when one of the character attendants noticed our party was hesitant about waiting in line to meet Sally and Jack, they gave us tickets to meet them later and told us we could be in the front when we came back which is super nice! I know it’s pricey but I only had to pay for myself so it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely recommend going to anyone who can!
I think going in September definitely helps! It will pick up in October, but from when I went in September or early October the crowds weren't that bad!
I love you so much!
Love you too Lily!! I hope you're having a great day! :)
Not sure you'll see this comment, but I was wondering how do you put Disney on your resume? Because it's such a huge company how do you do that and how often do you get questions about that?
That's a great question! I list both my roles and describe what I did. For character performer I would say "brought characters to life such as ......". I talked a lot about how I upheld the company values and what it was like working for a company well-known for guest service!
I’m going to WDW in a week, all the way from Mexico 🇲🇽 and I wondered... my brother is on a wheel chair, can he enjoy Disney as anybody else? What rides can he get in? It’s our first time there and he’s really excited but also concerned that he may not be able to meet his favorite characters of all time...
thanks for the video I really liked it and also you have such positive vibes💕
Yes he can! In fact you can go to guest relations and see if you can get a pass that will allow you to skip the line. I think there's a specific name for it (I just can't remember) but it's for people in wheelchairs or that have disabilities. My brother-in-law is handicapped and needs a wheelchair at times and we've been able to do that with him at Disneyland. I can't say it's always faster, but it allows you to go on the ride a certain way that is wheelchair-friendly.
For rides - most if not all should be wheelchair accessible! Same with meeting characters, guests come in all the time in wheelchairs. It's totally normal there! You guys are going to have so much fun! :)
I try my best to make sure this question maintains character integrity. So Ariel at Walt Disney world is a mermaid how does she get off her shell when she needs to go swim with the fishes for a little bit. Does someone pick her up or can the shell move? I’m not sure how fully you can answer this question but I’m curious.
Unfortunately I can't answer that question, but if you think through it I think you'll begin to realize how difficult it would be to find someone strong enough to carry Ariel at the drop of a hat :)
What to do at rope drop DOES depend on what park.
I applied my final semester of senior year and DIDN’T get in. 😔
You are really great at upholding character integrity.
For Pooh at Disneyland they don’t have a photopass, so I put my phone on video and let the attendants know. They then also screencapped while taking video (which I didn’t even know was a thing they could do).
A cast member saw my Premium Plus Annual Pass when I was last at DW and asked me which park I prefer and I answered Disneyland. This was a day when I took a boat from my hotel to Disney Springs and then two buses from Springs to Animal Kingdom and then a bus back to Disney Springs and then a bus back to my hotel. Obviously, for me, Disney World is TOO spread out. I LOVE how close everything is in Disneyland.
My favorite thing at Disneyland’s Halloween party was trick or treating and then watching the parade, which was really unique.
I FORGOT about the music they used to play at DCA. Good memories. 😊😊😊
So true!
Oh no! See I would never want to recommend someone wait until the last minute to apply, because there is the chance of that happening!
Oh that's awesome! I will admit, some photopass/attendants are more tech-savvy than others! But that's nice they did that for you!
Haha so true, Disneyland is a lot easier to get around! And park hop too!
I LOVE the parade! It's one of my favorites! I used to watch it all the time when I was an attendant!
Yeah that music was the BEST! I wish they'd bring it back (like maybe on the weekends or for special events).
A question that I have is let’s say I wanted to be a dancer in the parades, do they have specific auditions for those roles or do you just go to regular auditions for performers and they will cast you as a dancer in the parades? By the way I love your videos so much thank you for going out of your way to make such amazing videos!! 😊💕
Favorite Male and Female Marvel Superheroes?
Honestly, I wasn't super in to Marvel until recently. But I would say favorite Male Superhero is Black Panther, but I'm not sure about female. Can I say Okoye? Haha I don't know if she would technically be considered a superhero, but she's definitely a badass!
kenziemacbrown yeah she is considered a hero
Congrats on 40k!!! Sry I'm so late to watch this video, I'm really enjoying these q and a's! Great work Kenzie! Wait I have a question lol: are characters required to know every detail from their movie? Like has there ever been a time when a guest asked a question that the character didn't know?
Ps. Cute doggo!!!!! 🐶
Thanks Jenn! Welllll I think it would be weird if a character didn't remember a basic detail from the movie. But there is a chance they might not remember what the name of Trader Oaken's youngest child! Haha or if they have lots of siblings that have similar names that could get confusing. I think most performers know as much as needed to do their role well, but there will always be huge Disney fans that will try to trip them up (which I don't think is super nice, but it happens).
Hi Kenzie! I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Also, I have a question for you. After the Disney College Program, where you offered to continue working at Disney World or did you have to apply for another job to work for Disney?
Thanks Kelly! I auditioned while I was living there and just happened to get offered a role at the end of my college program. So they were technically two separate jobs. After my program ended I was on my own for housing and transportation and had to find a place to live and had to ship my car out.
kenziemacbrown no problem and thank you! Also I enjoyed meeting you at Disneyland when you visited 😊💗
You too Kelly!! :)
