It was kinda interesting seeing a princess looking tired and eating a hotdog while sitting across from some other character. I've gotta brush up on my character lineup! @Jim : yeah, they told us about the strict no-photo policy “backstage”.

One thing I really remember from the experience is that when we were going "behind the scenes," they were really strict about no photography. If they caught you with a camera out, the film was theirs (not many digicams at this time). Nothing like a snapshot of Cinderella on her smoke break. On a sidenote, I've heard about the practice of "casting" employees instead of hiring. Good idea, IMO. It makes employees conscious of how they're affecting the overall experience of park visitors, no matter what their role is. When I was in band, we performed once at Magic Kingdom.

If they do, it's probably goofy. I had heard you were coming in April. Solo? @Sheldon : they don’t have wifi in the parks so I’m not sure they have much of a blogging policy.
