For the commenters, actors are NOT the same thing as cosplayers. The actors need training in improv, character education, how to deal with children, how to deal with inappropriate adults, etc. So no, some random cosplayers who look good can’t just be hired as characters.
I mean you can literally see park guests trying to get pictures with them. It's really unfortunate that cosplayers think this is okay, as it takes away from the experience for them and the cast members who trained vigorously to become these characters with casting. This happens a ton because when I went for Halloween, I saw cosplayers who looked more like the Sanderson sisters than the show. They weren't allowed past the train station. Thanks for posting this, hopefully it encourages this behavior to stop and just audition when they open cast every year. As for saying it's Disney being greedy, it's not. Princesses are only in fantasy land. Seeing them in other lands breaks the immersion. They're also not in character acting with their mannerisms, so your point is invalid. A good costume doesn't mean accurate character acting.
You people literally don’t have the attention span to watch the whole video without commenting. It was Halloween. their costume wasn’t a problem. They were allowed to wear it.
I can see how this is a problem for disney. That would be like someone coming into your office dressed like an actual employee, taking part in employee perks and benefits, but isn’t an employee at all. They then potentially do something unlawful or harmful and the company is sued for it. If I was a company owner, this would not be okay. They could too easily be mistaken for actual employees.
someone coming into an office dressed in casual office attire? lmao, buddy that happens all the time!!! Do you think banks prohibit customers from wearing suits??? Do life guards prohibit swimmers from wearing red? Unless a dress code prohibits certain attire, then anyone in America is free to wear what ever they want so long as it isn't overtly revealing.
Disney has a valid reason for not wanting "imitation" princesses in the parks. First, they obviously want to protect their IP. Second, if a "fake" character were to do something inappropriate with a child, Disney would get sued.
They would also want to avoid anyone trying to pull a scam by charging guests for photos and meet and greets and profiting off Disney’s brand illegally.
@@whatever3145 I don't worship Disney. I enjoy the parks, but I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT, for good or bad. And I am very vocal against Disney's current WOKE management
Let's be real. If they saw them dressed like that, they wouldn't be allowed in. They knew they couldn't be dressed as Disney princesses and changed once inside. They knew it wasn't allowed and still went ahead.
@@pookiemoon you sound like a full goofy…so you think they WALTZED through the front gates dressed like this?!? It’s obvious somehow they got those costumes in and changed once inside!
For those who didn't know, little kids are allowed to dress up as characters and princesses but if grownups do so, it's not allowed due to confusion of multiple princesses. I'm pretty sure this apllys to all Disneys.
I think Disney let’s adults dress up on the Halloween night but I think they may still have rules for that and it’s like the price of a second ticket and it’s after hours
Everyone is allowed to dress up for Halloween events at Disney; You just have to follow the guidelines. Which include not wearing long dresses and taking pictures with visitors.
Not only that but people were confusing them to actual actors and the attention they attract is a liability to the employees. If they are seen doing something that regular cast members are not allowed to do than people can complain and someone could lose their job.
Their dresses are beautiful and you can tell they took hours perfecting their appearances. It would’ve been a great idea if they did this at a Disney super fan convention, but not Disney World…
They can do this at conventions not at the Disney parks because ur supposed to meet the real characters there not some guest that dressed up walked in and started taking pictures/autographs that’s not how that works an employee are the ones that has to act like their own movies in their movies and they have strict rules
@@InsaneLaughter01 Stop gate keeping. And they were allowed to do it. Tinkerbell is completely ignored lol. It was for Halloween the entire month, adults can dress up. Maybe you should watch the video.
I'd also like to add, when the disney princesses walk past crowds, they are waving to the children and smiling. Always in character. Could you imagine seeing all of your fav princesses and they just meander past without a glance in your direction? The children don't know any better. These girls should do better
I got stepped on by a mascot when i was 6 some cosplayers arent going to ruin a kids life maybe parents should let their kids know the princesses and characters ARENT REAL and if someone has a backpack on they arent a princess
Girl. It’s not that serious lol. “Imagine what they would do to little Sally’s imagination. “ kids are dying from school shootings. I think it’s time to use our “could you imagine “ energy for more serious things. Lol.. you made this a lesson, teach kids not to kill other kids.. that’s who need to “do better” not some young random girls dressing up, we got 3 year old transgenders, I promise kids will be fine after this, and the girl are probably amazing , who know what type of things they do for others. You should do better.
Also they were allow costumes. He said in the video after looking it up , they weren’t kicked out because of the costume it’s self. There was just a specific guideline , length etc. this was done a rule that was modified because of Halloween and part of the guidelines they didn’t fully follow. In Ca you can’t have costumes, there you can .. it’s public information.
@@indirajaya1164 people can have opinions about multiple topics. Miraculous, I know. This video is about people dressing up as princesses at Disney. That’s why the comments are about that topic. It is reasonable for people to think that small children might be disappointed if someone who looks very convincingly like a princess tells them they can’t take a picture. If you want to rant about guns and lgbtq+ people I’m sure there are plenty of more relevant videos for you to foam at the mouth at.
This has always been a rule for Disneyland for as long as I can remember (edit: not since park opening or since my childhood, I’m talking a good 7-8 years possibly more). You can Disney bound but not full on cosplay as a Disney character. I think they’re more lenient if it’s a Disney Halloween ticketed event. Other than that they’ve always been this strict. So WDW having similar policies makes sense.
Yes. I know for specific events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party they do allow adults to dress up in costumes, wigs, etc. but you are not aloud to pose for pictures or sign autographs. I guess WDW made some exceptions to the rule in October during COVID because the traditional events were not going to happen but I’m sure they had guideline to prevent having to kick people out. There is no way they were let into the park as ticked guests dressed like that. They look amazing but definitely against park policy.
@@beatrixpoley9100 oh ok! So it’s like if someone poses as a federal agent for Halloween. It would have to have some form of distinction between a real agent or cosplay. I did see someone in the video with a tinker bell costume. Does the policy get that specific on Halloween though? Ultimately, at the beginning, they appear to have no distinction from the real cast members. I almost thought those were the real cast members. It makes you think!
this was 2020 halloween season so yes they can dress up in costume, the park though has rules for it that not every park posts online in easy to find places. I know personally how some rules are not written in all places for Disney parks. I also know rules from CA are not same in Florida for costumes during Halloween. So honestly it is on the park to SHOWCASE all the rules out in open upon entry and on website and all apps.
I agree with them needing to change out of costume or leave. You never know what kind of people they are. Disney vets their employees for the safety of the children in the park. A child might go anywhere or do anything for someone dressed as a Disney princess in a Disney park which could prove to be dangerous for the child. The park was in the right here.
Exactly. While not Disney, I work for another theme park that has friendly characters that are from a beloved IP and I have been “best friends with” the canine protagonist. Children run up to me, excited and parents think nothing of it. Thankfully, I went through an extensive hiring/rigorous training process to get there and the company felt secure in putting me (previously I was a babysitter!) in that costume and representing that character (who I love) for thousands every day. It’s unfortunate but true that some people enter this place with ill intent. One of the girls was in costume as another character once when she noticed a strange-acting adult man taking photos of random children, especially in or around the waterpark! We’d had characters and their minders follow him until security caught up because we’re all just as mindful/protective of the children we interact with.
uh idk bout you personally i dont raise my kids the way Disney wants me to lol they know its not real. I find it crazy thats its just a normal way to raise kids telling these characters are real.. just why? its what they stand for whats important. its the meaning that we give things thats important not being caught up in illusions
Disney has every right to do this. It’s one, written In their park rules and two could be used for predatory intent. Children will want to walk up to the princesses and parents will allow them to. It’s just them keeping the park safe. Just because one set of cosplayers could be safe doesn’t mean that all of them could. Also say people think they’re and employee and does something disgusting to them. This is all a way to keep guests safe and not ruin Disney’s name. If someone came dressed as a princess and started twerking or something that would make the company look bad.
For context, in October of 2020, adults were allowed to wear costumes in the Disney parks, so they weren't breaking any rules there. Unfortunately, this is probably a situation where the costumes were just too good and the giant group was a distraction.
It's the poses for me and photo taking for me. When the cosplayers are out of character, not constantly smiling, holding iphones and squatting down for each other, it really DOES strip the magic away.
We once went to California adventure and there was a girl dressed as Mary poppins. I asked her if we could take a picture with her not knowing she was just a visitor and she rolled her eyes and said hurry take the picture quick or we will get in trouble. Let just say I regretted asking her.
Wow that’s really bad :o I was just Mirabel when I went to the parks and while any adult could tell I was just dísney bounding sone kids waved “miracle !!!! Encanto “ I waved and smiled . Like it was super fun !
@@empath9814 Yea exactly, it was a uncomfortable moment for sure. I shouldn’t have asked, I did get a picture with her and my toddler because my husband snapped the photo before I could respond and honestly I didn’t know how to say nevermind. I said thank you and just walked away.
@@harleyloves3572 oh I had SOOOO much fun hahaha :) I’m a mom so I also have that understanding lol but also former cast member so little ones automatically make put me in cast member mode 🤣
To clear things up for people: This video was posted during the 2020 halloween season. Adults were allowed to wear costumes during regular park hours from September 15 to October 31 2020 because evening halloween events were cancelled. The cosplayers clearly followed the no pictures or autographs rule as you can see at 2:45. The issue was probably with this rule (copied from the official WDW website): "Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses)". They didn't have to sneakily make their way in and hide their costumes, the cast member at the entrance was probably not fully aware of all the costume rules or didn't think it applied to these costumes because technically none of them dragged on the ground.
@@cuppoboba9400 yes it did started late 2019 but the lockdowns and everything else started on early 2020, I was still able to go to the Christmas event in 2019
The reason why Disney does not let adults dress up as Disney characters in the park is that there is always a possibility that an adult can use dressing up as a Disney character to kidnap or take advantage of a child. If a child runs up to you thinking you are the real Ariel and the parents think you're the Ariel employed by Disney themselves then you have the ability to take advantage of that child. The child trusts you because they think you are a real princess and the parents trust you because they think you are a Disney employee and won't do anything to harm their children.
I mean, I suppose that COULD happen, but the more pressing reason is character integrity. If you're walking around and see Snow White getting drunk or hear Belle swearing at her boyfriend, it sets the company in a bad light. even just refusing to stop and say hi to a child, which they are NOT obligated to do as a non cast member, is crushing to a fan. Most people here got it right, the children have expectations that need to be upheld.
This was during Halloween season where you could dress up the only guidelines was that your clothing couldn’t be tripped on like the tail I wore for my chat noir costume
For the sake of the children's protection, the park workers did the correct thing here. As otherwise you could have any pervert dressed as a Disney character interacting with kids.
Had to be hard for the guys to tell them that. Now if it was one of the real actors that had to tell them I imagen that they would have come up with something along the lines of, "those are not the real princesses, they are duplicates created by the evil queen and sent to call trouble for everyone in the parts. Do not worries we caught them before they could do any thing and they are being taken away to the dungeon. Now let me introduce you to the real princesses come this way little ones." I imagen thats how it could have gone down if it was one of the actors since the whole improve training and keeping the immersion things is a thing for them.
If they’re true Disney fans then they’re risking getting banned from the parks for for life for pulling a stupid stunt like this. It’s easy to find the Cosplay costume rules for Disney and the one main rule as an adult is that you can’t wear actual princess or character costumes. The only people allowed to do that are young children.
They were just taking pictures. Maybe they own a kids birthday party thing where a princess comes to your kids party and they were merely getting pictures for their advertisement. Disney needs to loosen up geezus
Actually, there are certain times where adults wearing costumes is allowed at Disney parks… typically, its during the Halloween parties. Their only stipulations are that we can’t wear masks that cover our faces and we have to make sure to have the costume not be 100% spot on. Although, there have been a few times where this wasn’t as enforced. You can Google cosplay photos taken at Disney parks from these events. Usually though, CMs have to hold guests to these rules because they don’t want to run to risk of a guest having a bad experience with an inexperienced, untrained, unpaid character within their parks. Which, although understandable, it does create unfortunate circumstances like this because there are those of us who love to cosplay our favorite characters and we want to show our love that way at the parks, in what would be the best possible setting for such cosplay…
It just confuses the little kids, seeing the Disney Princesses in one area and then seeing the original Disney Princesses in another location. It’s like seeing two Santa Clause’s at each end of a shopping mall! Lol
I'm so glad you caught this. I think these ladies broke the rules knowing full well what they were but chose to wear these costumes anyway. I think the allure of getting photos in costume was greater than worrying about getting asked to leave. We already know you can a free spirit jersey I'd you wear an inappropriate top. These ladies deserve to be asked to leave and they should feel LUCKY they were able to get a single photo in the parks. It's obvious why Disney doesn't want anyone dressed so closely to the princesses. As an employee I was not allowed to dye my hair too red...because even in regular clothes people shouted Ariel at me.
your words provide a chilling clue as to how there was segregation in the south and how hitler came to power and how people were put into cattle trucks.. too many people consider following orders to be a virtue and breaking them to always be unforgivable.. Disney all the more epitomizes the selling of delusions in order for those at the top to manipulate, control and exploit everyone else..
@@coffeeaddict9605 i am just looking at the whole picture: americans permanently live in a child-like virtual fantasy world while thinking that the most grown up thing that they can do is always stick to the rules.. startlingly similar to germany in the thirties.. and if you look at the numbers of people killed by US Police and US Military - with some similar results..
Former WDW CM here, just from my observation: We know that the women dressed up for MNSSHP 2020 but their costumes were very similar to the actual princesses in the park that it can sort of break immersion. That explains a lot of the confusion shown here in this video when they were seen doing guest activities such as posing/taking pictures/carrying satchels. Also timestamped on 2:40, the woman dressed as Aurora was approached by a guest and inquired if they can take a picture with them, in which the Aurora responded "no we're not real princesses". Imagine the guest's confusion. Costume guidelines for Halloween events now says that Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses) so they have already broken that guideline. But the guidelines also adds that "All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests." So if that Aurora (and the women) knew that was not allowed and declined to take a picture with the guest, my gripe was that they knew of the other guidelines, but risked it regardless though they were understanding and calm when Nick and the other managers confronted them. Also that section where they left (with the white walls) at the end of the video is the area that MNSSHP CMs direct guests to exit the park after the Halloween event so they definitely were escorted out the park. I also do think they snuck in the costumes because CMs at park entrances were well informed about costume guidelines during this time of year. There's no way Park Ops CM would just simply let them in like that.
@@bravanator551 Well there's two reasons. One being that she's with the group thus all of them were escorted out. Two, her dress is still very similar to the actual Jane in the park.
Idk how true it is but I’ve heard if someone in your group does something to be kicked out the whole group is kicked out not just the person or people causing an issue. I’m not interested in testing the truth of this statement so I can’t say for sure but I definitely understand why if that is true.
Considering this was filmed during the pandemic, I feel especially bad for the kids because no characters were doing meeting great at that time so this must have been a huge surprise turned into a massive let down for those kids really hoping that they could see their favourite Disney characters
6:07 staff clarifies they are Halloween costumes. There was also someone walking around dressed as Tinkerbell. I'm guessing wearing costumes are allowed during that event, but there was some other issue perhaps with dress length.
If you’re a cosplayer who wants to have cool photoshoots, you can choose locations outside of Disney World that look like cool gardens or castles. Or if you want to go to Disney World and take cute photos in a group, you can wear casual, modern Disney bound outfits with NO costume wigs.
@@miss.l.1563 the answer is actually obvious lol it's because we're a generation raised to be offended by EVERYTHING. It's such a generic thing to be said by a product of our society. in other words, a bot.
Literally… how did they get in? You’re not telling me they stuffed those costumes in their tiny loungefly bags and got changed in the bathroom stalls! Lol
the thing that bothers me most is the neglect that these cosplayers have had for children. A child who enters Disneyland truly believes he is meeting real princesses. In this way, not only did the girls ruin the illusion of the park but also confused many children
They are not allowed to interact with the children or take pictures with any guests because they are not actual cast members therefore have not been trained on the rules of HOW to interact or pose for photos.
They were allowed to have costumes. It was Halloween 2021 Walt Disney Florida allowed it. It’s just their costumes look too real which which meant Disney couldn’t make any money?
They were not “real princesses”? Bahaha. Sorta like someone impersonating the “real Santa”. Spoiler alert, none of them are “real princes” unless part of the royal family visiting from England.
Lol there are no real princess at Disney just people who imitate them these woman dressing up at Disney charters did not upset or confuse any children the only ones upset here are the adults
Can I just say that I love how the cast members still made sure that they were still called "guests" despite them clearly violating costume guidelines. They also did not put these women in a bad light by saying negative phrasing like "they broke the rules", instead they just use "its Halloween season and we have guidelines". What a respectful way to escort out park goers who violate the rules, but still keep their integrity as people who just want to enjoy the park as much as everyone. Question though: How come they were allowed in in the first place? Did they dress up in the bathrooms inside the park but entered as "civillians"?
look through the other comments on this video. it was a day where costumes were allowed, but their dresses touched the ground and were too similar to the real princess dresses.
@@henloworld514 I am aware of this. Just curious why the cast members did not stop them at the entrance when the costumes resembled too close to Face Characters.
Or some employee just didn't tell them no at the gate. I mean think about how many employees they must have passed during this video......it's not a short walk to Adventure Land etc. As I recall. Thought it's been a long time since WDW but in Disneyland you'd pass probably 14 cast members at least not including all the ones at the gates...
Im a cosplayer and love disney parks and for sure we all know this is a rule. They INTENTIONALLY brought the costumes in a bag and dressed up to take pictures. It is rude and ignorant and blatantly ignoring park rules for clout. The fact they took pics with guests and autographs just made them more guilty. I can tell u that almost all disney cosplayers know of the rules and they broke them on purpose
I agree with almost everything you said I just want you to give me a time stamp to where they took pictures with visitors?, because I've seen them deny people from taking pictures with them.
right. they could've put on disney princess INSPIRED outfits (i saw a woman with red hair and a green shimmering skirt on- obviously dressed as ariel). but instead of that they had on real nice dresses-almost very similar to the actual princesses. The outfits are cute, but they should've done that else where. I almost got them confused for the actual princesses!
She runs a princess party company out of state and she goes to Disney World with her employees to take photographs of just the girls to promote her company. She is also a former Disney princess from Disney World so I think she knows what she's doing. Plus, this was in October where adult guests ARE ALLOWED to dress as characters for the season.
This is why Disney bounding is a thing. Those cosplayers knew what they were doing. Also, how they got in, they could've come in regular clothes and just changed in the bathrooms.
This was during Halloween so adults are allowed to dress up in costumes, however there are rules stating that you cannot have full length gowns on to avoid this type of confusion. Idk how they made it past security but honestly shame on them for pulling this, can you imagine how many children were confused when their favorite princess didn’t wave at them or anything as they passed?
this is common for most theme parks. It’s for safety precautions among other things, children run up to people in costumes and these people are trained to entertain and take photos. They don’t need children or anyone else coming up to park guests and possibly having a bad experience or being confused because they aren’t actual employees
I can see this being a problem. Children believing they're the park actors and wanting to interact with them. Not saying cosplaying is wrong, but leave it for the trained professionals.
@@markwatson8345 You clearly have no idea what it takes to be a cast member for Disney parks and you're a grown man..how sad. Do your research before assuming everything is the easiest thing in the world. It isn't just that, it's dealing/avoiding weird or inappropriate questions, standing and walking around in 100+ degree weather in a giant dress that weighs you down, constantly having to smile and wave no matter what people say or what happens, etc. I could go on and on but it is not as easy as it looks at all. Either way they should still respect the parks rules by not dressing up as cast members. They are adults, they should know better.
@@zeroandjiji Sounds like you hated it. Maybe you should quit. And as for you assuming I do know how being a character is, my brother was first teenage mutant ninja turtles in late 80's and early 90's, probably before you were born, and said same shit but in a way that made me think he at least enjoyed it as a summer job and all the bad didn't bother him as much as it seems to bother you. He certainly never thought there was much training involved and would tell me stories about messed up and crazy guests that would do and say stupid shit. He would just smile and give them the middle finger through his fake three fingered mutant ninja hand and they always thought he was waving goodbye. He works in Hollywood now and cannot stand dealing with Disney in the entertainment industry. Maybe when you get bigger and move out of your parents house and have more experience you will have a better reference point on what training is and how other jobs may be tougher and require more of it or at least take years upon years to master.
Yeah.., like this would be like if I dressed up like Pinocchio and people got confused I bet people wouldn't be confused because I'm a female who doesn't feel like changing my hair.., but still it might confuse some people
@@markwatson8345 Im 22 dude, never worked for Disney and I use to work as a drive thru cashier and was put through hell and back so don't tell me I don't know what it feels like to have a tough job. I was running that whole place by myself working night shifts. I took orders, was training a new person while taking the orders and had to help make food as well as my manager was the only line person working since the rest of our team went home. And I wasn't even a manager, just a cashier. Not to mention I would break down the line, clean both hot and cold line, help with dishes and carryover, scrub and mop the floors, etc. And like I said..I was only a cashier. I've also worked retail too sweetie, im not a child 😌 And how professional of your brother to flip off children and people at an amusement park WHILE working. I hope he gets fired for how horrible he's treating people. As someone who went through a lot and was treated horribly by customers, the number one rule for any business is the customer is always right and you have to keep a smile on your face no matter what happens. He sounds like a wimp since one little thing sets him off and he feels the need to flip people off under a costume. Sounds pathetic and embarrassing to me that an adult would do that 👀 Might wanna look into anger management or therapy for him 😁 Either way, just because their training is different doesn't mean it "isn't hard". Try putting on a puffy dress that weighs almost as much as you with a hoop skirt underneath and stand out in the sun all day waving and smiling to people with nothing but a positive attitude and see how you like it then. Not to mention all of the other training they have to go through that we don't know cause that's just the obvious part of being a disney cast member. Unless you are there and in their shoes, you have no right to say whether it is easy or hard cause from what I have heard, a lot of Disneyland cast members who were princesses told their stories about how rough and brutal it can be. Nobody knows until they go through it themselves.
This is like the biggest known rule of the parks you can't dress like the characters. It's a safety thing. They absolutely knew it was not a good idea and still did it.
I think what a lot of people are missing here is that they were let in this way because of Halloween, they have different costume guidelines. I've seen full cosplay at their Halloween parties before. So I'm sure it was a shock that they got kicked out. But couldnt they just change and come back?
Most of the time I was just thinking how it was kind of creepy how the princesses didn’t notice a random guy following them with a camera the whole time
I want to add on top of what everyone else has already said in the comments is that there's also only supposed to be one of each Princess. And with cosplayers like this, the little kids could get even more confused. But that's on top of the fact that they're not actors, they didn't go through the vigorous training that Disney makes their character actors go through. They even have to study how to sign their names to make sure that each of the character's autographs don't change from actor to actor. The things they say are also very important. There's so many reasons why it's not allowed. And these women knew this. They're not stupid.
Why’re people fighting for these cosplayers Cosplaying isn’t wrong but this is -Adults Dressing up as any character isn’t allowed (“Costumes and costume masks, which may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older.”) - They’re doin photo shoots with people AND autographs, they’re taking away attention from actual employees and could possibly get them in trouble if they’re supposedly not in the right station/not following schedule
@@purplefry1752 Clearly, if the staff is following them it’s not allowed. I don’t know how you missed that? Even if they weren’t taking pictures and signing autographs they’re taking away attention. I love cosplay, it’s a cool hobby. But these women are taking away attention from staff and that the cosplayers will make the ACTUAL princesses in trouble
@@purplefry1752 I understand how they just wanted to have an amazing photo shoot where they’re in the perfect scenario but when guests, *especially children*, want to have a photo with the princesses and then be crushed when they get told “They’re Halloween costumes”.
@@purplefry1752 well from what I saw that’s what it seemed like, it’s mostly because I’ve seen other cosplayers do the exact same thing so I have this sort of stigma I suppose.
@@purplefry1752 I *just* said that. I just said because of what I've seen in person and in the video clip. I'm not always going to be correct, genius. I didn't just lie, that's what *I* believe happened. The point is, even if they did or didn't, it is stated that they CANNOT dress up like the employees at the park, Halloween or not.
This is honestly my take right now. Folks need to go outside and breathe in some non-Disneyfied air if they are that gung-ho over this. This whole video is creepy as hell and the account holder should be embarrassed.
@@frostedtayleaux you probably one of the delusional people who are on the side with the females dressing as princesses and going to Disney 😭 man was recording solid evidence, if anything the females are weird and should be ashamed for luring kids when they are not a “real” Disney princess
It’s embarrassing how this guy it’s a busybody, I understand the situation was made public but I would be embarrassed to see myself going after people like I was a fucking reporter
I agree with Disney kicking them out. Kids would confuse them for the actors and it opens the door to allowing people with bad intentions to try and dress up and harm kids. You can dress up but there’s no reason to wear this level of costume at Disney.
Adults should be able to dress up at Disney world as well, kids should understand that adults like to dress up just like they do as it makes them feel special. There should be rules about where you can go in full costume and anyone who tried to take pictures with guest should be asked to leave. No one can lure a child if parents are paying attention
I went to Disneyland back in 2007 and they kicked a guy out of the park dressed like Jack Sparrow. We knew it wasn’t really him because he fell asleep on a bench when we got on a ride and when we came back security escorted him out of the park 😂
That’s why there’s Disneybounding. There’s a reason these rules are in place-nobody over the age of 14 can go in costume. Full stop. Despite their Cosplay being on point, and hard to distinguish from actual princesses-there in lies the issue. They can be mistaken for actual princesses and there is a liability issue where Disney can be sued should something happen. So a good workaround is Disneybounding or if they allow costumes for a specific time of the year but that is very rare and that varies from Disneyland to Disneyworld and there are guidelines. They’re best to have photo shoots elsewhere.
yeah I think we all understand that point. Considering how hard Disney tries to keep the illusion going for kids im betting that its more about the illusion than the liability. If they wanted to let people fully cosplay im sure they can find a relatively easy way to make it happen while avoiding liability. My point being theres an easy way around that. yet everyone is acting like thats the main reason when its really not imp
@@AnimalLover-- Inappropriate Attire Attire that is not appropriate for the theme parks (and which may result in refusal of admittance or ejection) includes but is not limited to: Costumes may not be worn by Guests 14 years of age or older

The Ariel cosplayer used to actually work at the Parks as a friend of Ariel. She’s well aware of the rules, you can hear her say multiple times that they are not the Parks characters and they’re not stopping for photos! Also might I add, they didn’t get in trouble because given the nature of the event being more lenient about costume rules for adults, they did not do anything wrong as per Disney’s rules on that day. Check my follow-up comment replying to this for more info.
THE CONFUSING PART IS THAT THEY LOOK LIKE ACTUALL DISNEY EMPLOYEES WHICH CAN CONFUSE KIDS COZ THEY CAN BE CHILD PRDTRS DRESSED UP AS DISNEY PRINCESSES TO HARM KIDS AND GET AWAY WITH IT COZ OF THEIR FEMALE PRIVILEGE!!!!
Sounds like a good way to make a kid cry tbh. What they did was still wrong and they could have gotten other employees in trouble for being out of place.. That's a total Karen thing to do. Well I used to work here I know the rules. Most of the time they are lying.
She’s not lying lol she did work there, we have mutual friends, I won’t give you her name but she worked there in the early 2010s. I don’t think what they did was wrong. This was a special Halloween event where adults could dress up differently than the normal dress-up rules. If guests can’t tell the difference between costume cosplay and literal character performers, that’s really on them. These guests had wristbands, backpacks, cell phones, MASKS (characters at Disney don’t wear masks unless it’s a part of the costume- Disney Princesses expressly do not wear masks at the Parks!) - so many indicators that they are not the performers currently working at the Parks! Plus if they were performers they would’ve had a character attendant with them. Guests often have “vacation brain” where if they see someone in a dress, even if it’s not a dress that’s currently at the Parks (like the Ariel one, that’s a replica of an old parade dress Ariel used to wear), they’ll go “ooh pretty princess I gotta get a picture” and honestly? they should know better. Guests don’t do enough research for how much tickets cost to get into the Parks, you think they’d be able to tell the difference between a cast member and a hobbyist. Like I said, these gals were not stopping for photos because that is the rules, they are very aware of the rules and told everyone around them that they are not the performers and are fellow guests in their own costumes.
@@whatdoyousuppose I think you are right. The "vacation Brain" was on high alert and this is much ta-do about nothing. When they walked in the gate, if it was an issue, the guards would have stopped them.
2:44 one of the reasons why you shouldn't do this! That little girl was excited thinking she was going to get to talk to the Princesses that are paid actors to interact and entertain children. Instead, she gets told "No, we're just regular grown ass adults playing dress up because the rules shouldn't apply to us, now move along, you're in our shot!
Just like this girl!5:03 she says hi Ariel and all she says is "Yes" like wtf? Obviously depending on the emotional iq the little girl had I would've imagine then being confused.
As a cosplayer, this is horrendous! Those poor kids surrounding them like zombies, to have a special life changing little moment meeting a ~Disney Princess~. Way, way different than meeting someone who means well and is dressed well as a cosplayer at a convention. If Disney wants to encourage stuff like this, it would've been cool to see a space specifically for photoshoots and dress up type events so there wasn't so much confusion.
Disney actually has pretty hefty rules for this, hence why these women were escorted out of the park. You can't show up to the park in a full blown costume, its not confusing for anyone unless you don't know how to follow the rules.
@@chelseau7435 I know! Haha I meant, knowing they have such heavy rules, you'd think they'd come up with something different, instead of saying that guests could wear a costume (BUT they gotta go by the guidelines, so that the parks guests aren't confused like this whole video caused hah.) Instead of even having this be a huge thing for their park, why not have things like special events in designated areas for people like these women to get out all there "I'm dressing up in full costume" energy out. Somewhere where it's said that it's a place to dress up in, and that it would be a guest centered area. I think the park is 100% for not wanting guests in costume and this video is the perfect example. But again, as someone who was once a kid, and even now as a adult who likes to dress up, it would be nice to have a spot for a cool photo :)
@@barbiebabee9282 They do have a designated time and place for it, during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you can go full board, Disney bounding is all that is offered and stated allowed during the off season. Its posted everywhere that you cannot dress in full costume due to liability issues. These women knew this as well, they literally had to of snuck these costumes in somehow in order to take photos, they wouldn't have even been allowed in with them already on. So many rules being broken.
@@chelseau7435 ooooo I see! And I suppose I could make a argument that "Dapper Day" is a time for stuff too haha. Yeah wow, these guests really did make sure they never thought of someone close to this again I'm sure
This is why the Disney Community invented the trend “Disney Bound” where you develop outfits based around a certain princess or character. You don’t have to ditch the Disney magic, but you do have to down play it as an adult.
This concept makes sense. Like the memes of people making "modern day" princesses. Do something like that. I know a fitness trainer, who's a woman, and will cosplay male characters but if they were a woman and really looks unique and different while still seeing the fan part of it.
Even then you can go all out on the cosplay, you just shouldn't do it in the parks where you can easily get confused as a face character. Gardens, natural landscapes or historical buildings could suffice for your photoshoot
I've gone during the Halloween party as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. When people approached me for a picture, I declined. You are not allowed to take pictures with other guests. That was the issue.
Halloween is the one exception for adults being allowed to dress up. Otherwise it is not allowed at all (whether you take pictures with other guests or not) because they could ruin the experience for others
I was dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood on Halloween many years ago at WDW and people kept asking me for a photo. I was permitted because Red isn’t a Disney character as of yet. So I got a pass. I didn’t want to disappointed little ones that liked me so much and one Disney worker told me to try and apply for a job. Lol.
I totally get this rule… especially after listening to the language some fans use at the parks. Disney only allows trained, professional character actors to play these parts for a reason, because they can control how people behave when dressed as the character. Do you really want your child walking up to a someone dressed as their favorite character who may be behaving inappropriately, swearing, or being rude to others… how much would that destroy your child’s image of that princess? I mean, it kind of ruins the fantasy even just seeing these characters in masks. These girls knew the rules… they agreed to them when they entered the park, and they broke the rules. You can hear how confused people are to see this… because it’s not special to see the princesses just walking around the park outside of the special events. The reason these rules exist is for safety and to protect the integrity of the characters.
Listen I’m a cosplayer, so I know how much work and dedication goes into cosplay. HOWEVER, as many people have pointed out in the comments; there are very valid reasons why you’re not allowed to dress as the characters at Disney Parks, AND they already knew this before going to the Park.
Anyone over 12 is not allowed to wear costumes to the parks it ruins the magic and it is for safety reasons of children getting stolen or kidnapped by fake characters so I'm not surprised they got kicked out please follow disneys rules they are there for a reason
Your absolutely right, you know when I cosplay is back in my own hometown of MA, I would never cosplay as Disney character at Disney World cause I will get in trouble by security and escorted out.
I love Disney but seeing that grown up man getting all stressed up running behind those girls and nervously telling people “These are not OUR princesses” as in “not the real ones” made me laugh 😂
That grown up man is an employee and is doing his job. He is working, and he doesn't want to get fired because of those women, so I don't see any funny in this. I believe you don't work and don't know how it is to deal with stressful situations.
@@LauRa-re9un that guy was working there? He should have had a bull horn. I thought someone mentioned that he was escorting them through the park to a private party???
With how good those costumes were, I cannot blame Disney, because those looked like legit cast members, and that could be a problem if those cosplayers acted up and caused problems for guests, where it would look as if Disney employees are causing problems.
The main issue I see, is the fact this could ruin the experience for younger kids. Many children believe they are actually meeting the real character....until they look over and see another one.
It's about safety more than anything. Tbh I feel bad and confused for the kids (over like 5) that actually believe the characters are real, and for those under 5 they have to find out eventually. If they are that gullible in the first place it's easy to explain away with "magic" or "honestly" explain those are copy-cats. Etc.
@@toast3y Yes. And the Disney Jr character costumes are shameful lol This was the first super obvious break for my kid if they were to believe at all..that ruined it. Lol 🤣 We wouldn't want to wait to see characters anyhow so it's a relief. We've always encouraged knowledge and our kid from a young age was told about voice actors, special effects, etc. We barely brought up and facilitated Santa when very young...but by age 4-5 we were like "yeah it's us" lol. She's a happy child and this has felt like a good thing.
I think the biggest issue with random people being in costumes is that kids might mistake them for performers. What if some kid is kidnapped? Disney obviously can't allow this.
My grandpa tried dressing up as Abe Lincoln one time at Disneyland in the 70’s. Security told him to take the top hat off. He then proceeded to go to the gift shop and buy another top hat. Long story short, he got kicked out. So yeah, don’t try and steal the thunder away from the actors.
I feel like that’s a little unnecessary. Abe Lincoln isn’t a Disney character, and he kind of wears standard formal clothing. Like you could argue he’s just a guy with a beard and eccentric formal old-timey fashion sense.
@@Pandacalifornia At the parks Abe Lincoln is a character because he does have the attraction “great moments with mr Lincoln”, and back in the day, possibly including the 70s, characters like that were more common to possibly be available for meet and greet.
This is against Disney rules dressing up to look anything like the princesses in the park. The fact they got kicked out, Disney was within in rights to do so because it is stated as such that adults may dress up for Halloween but it can't resemble or be anywhere close to those that are the actual characters.
@@AddisonZegan anyone that is going to go into the park, it's been on the website, you can call and ask a CM, when we had Halloween parties it also stated on there as well. I thought they did a really good job with their costumes but rules are rules and meant to be followed or get kicked out. Disney has princesses already and doesn't want anyone mistaking dressed up as such as an actual princess for Disney. It also confuses kids when they see that and then see the actual princess in the same place.
@@AddisonZegan they could've had someone bring them in for them seperat3, could've had them with, and then dressed separate. There's a number of things and ways how they got in.
I remember seeing this in person these women were trying to charge to get a picture with them 5$ They were saying to guest before people started telling workers that they work for Disney .
This isn't an anime convention, imagine a child seeing this cosplayer coming up to them, and the cosplayer tells them too shoo off, it breaks the "magic of disney" to have a bunch of cosplayers walking around
Based on how I know security works, its actually possible they snuck these in. I imagine they had their costumes in big bags but made sure nothing else in the bag would make the security sensors go off (I bring in a GIANT backpack filled with baby stuff for my kids all the time and since there are not materials inside that alarm the sensor, the inside of my bag never gets searched). They could have changed and then left their bags in a locker. Also based on what the CMs said and the decor around the park and I saw one of the cast members holding up the Not So Scary sign/wearing a Not So Scary outfit, these guests likely thought they could wear their costumes because MK normally allows guests for Not So Scary to arrive a few hours before the event. Unfortunately because their costumes looked SO accurate to the Princesses in the parks and having other guests confuse them for Disney Princesses, the CMs likely decided to ask them to leave for liability. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked them to with make some quick adjustments to their costumes or to wait until the Halloween event was fully happening so they wouldn't stand out as much. Its only because you were at the parks during the Halloween seasons did this type of costume on an adult was likely allowed at first. During the rest of the year, they wouldn't have been allowed inside.
I heard these girls were signing autographs and taking photos with guests. There are strict rules about that especially this year. Dressing up is allowed right now just can’t be too close to the likeness of the real characters
And it’s also their job too. The employees applied and interviewed and it’s not exactly an easy thing to do. So seeing these people just roaming around unofficially in costumes is just disrespecting the rules and the employees.
What the employees said is true. In Disney World, Florida does this and I think Japan does as well, we have Disneybounding allowed. It means that you can dress up "in theme" to a particular Disney character. The guideline is that Adults specifically are Not allowed costumes that make them look exactly like the characters. This is for a nu,ber of reasons, one being so that guests are not confused for Disney Cast Members, and secondly for the safety of kids who might be lured away by a fake Disney character (potential kidnaping), Kids on the otherhand are allowed to wear character costumes that resemble characters since they cannot be confused for Disney cast members.
I’ve been going to Disney for years on end as a cosplayer, I’ve looked into doing some Star Wars cosplays there but the guidelines for costumes when it comes to these events don’t allow for costumes that pretty much replicate a character in the park. You can’t be belle in her iconic dress or a stormtrooper with hard armor, but people do disneybounding where they sort of dress like a character, so you could be belle on vacation or a stormtrooper wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt holding your helmet The rules in Disney World are a lot less tight than the rules for costumes in Disneyland as people going to Galaxies edge are allowed in Disney World to come in cloaks and robes, but not so much in Disneyland
I know it's against the rules, but I wish there was still a place in the park where adults could dress up like this. I remember as a kid my family was always stretched super thin just getting the tickets and parking, plus hotel and food expenses. I never got a chance to buy those insanely expensive princess dresses they had in the park. It was always something I wished I could do in Disney. I mean, I would have been happy even wearing the mickey gloves they sell. I always regretted not taking advantage of that privilege when I was younger, and now I'll never get the full Disney princess experience. I wish they'd have a "Royal Experience" attraction where you could dress up in the park. Maybe they could give you a "honorary princess/prince" pageant style sash to wear in the park so people know you're a guest. Or have an adult area for this stuff. I mean, considering how many adults go to the parks solo/without kids just for Disney, you'd think they would give their adult fans more love.
The sash idea is low-key brilliant Disney is so accommodating and every other way you'd think that if some adult at risk of getting heat stroke shows up in full Disney garb it would at least be acknowledged and they could give them a special sash and they could be in on the fun heck they could even say some BS like oh I'm a friend of Ariel or something but I agree with you as a child I'd kill for those costumes and it's kind of sad that I have adult money now but unfortunately Disney doesn't want me to use it to honor the stories that they've been cramming down my throat since I was a little kid
You’re allowed to dress fully for Oogie Boogies Bash. We went as the Sanderson Sisters last year. Full costumes and wigs. You’re just not allowed to pose for pictures with guests.
Disney has clearly rules that say you cannot be dressed as a exact Disney character even on the Halloween events. It simply to protect children from coming up to these characters who are not Disney employees. I’m sure that these lady’s are good individuals but these rules are in place for the pedos and kidnappers out there. You don’t know who is who so it’s better for everyone to follow the rule. And let’s assume a mom complained because one of these girls did something to Disney, just because they are not Disney employees doesn’t mean a person can’t present a lawsuit against them, because then a lawyer can argued that’s it’s Disney fault for allowing people dressed exactly as a character in the park
So if someone was dressed up as something else and a child wanted to take their picture, would they be in danger? I would think people visiting the park are there to have fun. Oh, and you don't have to be dressed up to do something bad on Disney property.
There's a such thing as things in control and things out of your control. Places won't just allow you to bring a gun now because people can harm in other ways.
Wow, the cajones on these women, lol. I’d love to cosplay at a Disney park, but I also realize why the rules exist. They want to alleviate any confusion among the guests. I wouldn’t want my niece or nephew getting a photo or autograph from someone who doesn’t work there.
Yeah it’s literally common knowledge not to go dressed up so close to the actual characters, there’s literally no reason they couldn’t have just worn similar clothing in style or color scheme. Also not just taking pictures or autographs and kids being confused but the fact that someone’s kid could easily get snatched by some random person dressed up as a character who kids are going to be drawn towards. Easy to tell kids stranger danger when it comes to random people and not people dressed in costumes that they spend time watching movies of so overall just a safety thing.
@@nh8603 The snatching part, surprised more people aren't mentioning this. It is a complete child abduction risk to have people dressed like characters in the park and is probably more at the heart of the creation of the rule than even the potential risk to the "magic". If Disney allows them in like this and they take a child, the legal ramifications would be enormous. These women cannot be so stupid as to not understand that them going dressed like this is a slap in the face to child safety, all for likes and social media clicks. Terrible.
As a cosplayer I do feel for them however that should have known better. Disney has these costume policies for reasons. Because cosplayers take the attention away from the actual actors and become a problem for some guests and children.
THE CONFUSING PART IS THAT THEY LOOK LIKE ACTUALL DISNEY EMPLOYEES WHICH CAN CONFUSE KIDS COZ THEY CAN BE CHILD PRDTRS DRESSED UP AS DISNEY PRINCESSES TO HARM KIDS AND GET AWAY WITH IT COZ OF THEIR FEMALE PRIVILEGE!!!!
I went to Disney in the 80’s dressed as Snow White, when I was 4. My costume was custom made since there were no official costumes back then. Other guests asked to take pictures with me, my family saw nothing wrong with that and I had no problem either, so I did. My family told me they probably thought I was part of the cast (despite me being four). If it confused adults it sure would be confusing to a kid to see an adult guest dressed as a character. Not to say dangerous if someone with bad intentions were disguised with a pretty costume. I understand why they wouldn’t allow it.
A child wearing costumes isn't wrong. Obviously there aren't any child employees but these ladies are grown adults. Little children would follow them and parents would allow it believing they are crew members but are they tho? Any employee is given a costume only after training and tests so I believe now you understand why it's not allowed.
@@jocelyn_thomas I do. What I meant is that if other guests got confused when seeing a child in costume (which is perfectly normal and allowed at the parks), thinking the child was part of the cast, then it’s easier for kids to confuse adult guests in costumes for cast members.
@@MaluCLBS there are no child cast. Only adult employees. No one in their right mind would get confused as to why a child is wearing a fun costume in a theme park
@@MaluCLBS Sorry, but those were adults humoring a child so that you would feel special. Adults would not mistake a four-year-old as part of the Disney cast. When little girls dress-up, cast members etc.. address them as "Princess", but of course are aware they are children playing dress-up.
You can literally see a little girl at the 2:44 mark come to one of them and get turned away. It's obvious why this isn't allowed. There's no wat for anyone to know exactly how they got through the gate. Anything anyone can do is assume, but even if they made it through those cast members, they had to have kown they were testing the rules and eventually someone would enforce those rules.
Seems like each country has their own rules. In Hong Kong Disneyland, on Halloween or Members-Acess days [special days where adults are allowed to dress up] even if your thing looks super legit, it's okay because they give you a big sticker to stick on the front of your costume to tell people "This Person is a Guest too" also, the no-dragging thing here also applies but the threshold is quite flexible...
My mom worked as a Disney character in the parks and it is infact disney illegal for adults to wear quality costumes of any characters incase they are mistaken for a actual Disney employee
It is common knowledge that imitating characters that are in the Disney park is strictly not allowed cosplayers are not the same as trained actors cosplayers typically have no idea how to handle kids and awkward situations as well as trained actors can what they did was dumb and very warranted
For the commenters, actors are NOT the same thing as cosplayers. The actors need training in improv, character education, how to deal with children, how to deal with inappropriate adults, etc. So no, some random cosplayers who look good can’t just be hired as characters.
@@coopsahoy8563 obviously not because the top comment is literally someone saying Disney should hire them...
@@b13314 exactly
Yes Agreed Meeka , Awesome comment.
@@b13314 True . I've seen that quite a bit .
It’s ok to be a girl
I mean you can literally see park guests trying to get pictures with them. It's really unfortunate that cosplayers think this is okay, as it takes away from the experience for them and the cast members who trained vigorously to become these characters with casting. This happens a ton because when I went for Halloween, I saw cosplayers who looked more like the Sanderson sisters than the show. They weren't allowed past the train station. Thanks for posting this, hopefully it encourages this behavior to stop and just audition when they open cast every year.
As for saying it's Disney being greedy, it's not. Princesses are only in fantasy land. Seeing them in other lands breaks the immersion. They're also not in character acting with their mannerisms, so your point is invalid. A good costume doesn't mean accurate character acting.
You people literally don’t have the attention span to watch the whole video without commenting. It was Halloween. their costume wasn’t a problem. They were allowed to wear it.
Very true. It did feel crazy seeing Cinderella in Adventure land :(
Dude, your here? I've been listening to your music for a few years, you do a really good job
@@8lbdream286 they knew it wasn’t allowed tho, and still did it. Who cares if it was their costume
Wait they are codplayers wtf XD I think they are int eh wrong place for that XD oof
I can see how this is a problem for disney. That would be like someone coming into your office dressed like an actual employee, taking part in employee perks and benefits, but isn’t an employee at all. They then potentially do something unlawful or harmful and the company is sued for it. If I was a company owner, this would not be okay. They could too easily be mistaken for actual employees.
Makes sense
O
Everyone is beatiful as always
someone coming into an office dressed in casual office attire?
lmao, buddy that happens all the time!!!
Do you think banks prohibit customers from wearing suits???
Do life guards prohibit swimmers from wearing red?
Unless a dress code prohibits certain attire, then anyone in America is free to wear what ever they want so long as it isn't overtly revealing.
Irony you just described the CEO of a company
Disney has a valid reason for not wanting "imitation" princesses in the parks. First, they obviously want to protect their IP. Second, if a "fake" character were to do something inappropriate with a child, Disney would get sued.
Yes!!!!
They would also want to avoid anyone trying to pull a scam by charging guests for photos and meet and greets and profiting off Disney’s brand illegally.
Lol yall worship this evil corporation
@@whatever3145 I don't worship Disney. I enjoy the parks, but I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT, for good or bad. And I am very vocal against Disney's current WOKE management

I’m so confused how they got the costumes through security though? This is just so strange! How on earth did they even pull it off!
For those who didn't know, little kids are allowed to dress up as characters and princesses but if grownups do so, it's not allowed due to confusion of multiple princesses. I'm pretty sure this apllys to all Disneys.
Maybe watch the entire video. This is from Halloween time when they temporarily allowed adults in costume.
Except on Halloween at some parks
I think Disney let’s adults dress up on the Halloween night but I think they may still have rules for that and it’s like the price of a second ticket and it’s after hours
Everyone is allowed to dress up for Halloween events at Disney; You just have to follow the guidelines. Which include not wearing long dresses and taking pictures with visitors.
Disney has sued a deceased child's tombstone for having mickey mouse on it so I wouldn't put it past them to be upset about this.
The issue is not their costumes, but that they were taking pictures and autographs with guests which is a liability.
I was watching for that specifically and I didn’t see it. I only saw them taking picture of themselves.
You're not very bright are you?
or if not a real life threatening liability - simply a wonderful fecking joke..
Not only that but people were confusing them to actual actors and the attention they attract is a liability to the employees. If they are seen doing something that regular cast members are not allowed to do than people can complain and someone could lose their job.
@@C0smiccharm control control control control or someone might be held liable for something that is out of control ..
Their dresses are beautiful and you can tell they took hours perfecting their appearances. It would’ve been a great idea if they did this at a Disney super fan convention, but not Disney World…
Good thing this is Disney World then
They can do this at conventions not at the Disney parks because ur supposed to meet the real characters there not some guest that dressed up walked in and started taking pictures/autographs that’s not how that works an employee are the ones that has to act like their own movies in their movies and they have strict rules
They aren’t real cosplayers.
Legit cosplayers are respectful of rules.
They are just people with a glue gun.
@@InsaneLaughter01 Stop gate keeping. And they were allowed to do it. Tinkerbell is completely ignored lol. It was for Halloween the entire month, adults can dress up. Maybe you should watch the video.
@@snowwhite19376 They can also do it at Disney when it's permitted, like in this case. :)
I'd also like to add, when the disney princesses walk past crowds, they are waving to the children and smiling. Always in character. Could you imagine seeing all of your fav princesses and they just meander past without a glance in your direction? The children don't know any better. These girls should do better
Lol, when I was 2, the Belle actor had to go on break and left, and I cried and said “Belle doesn’t love me!” XD
I got stepped on by a mascot when i was 6 some cosplayers arent going to ruin a kids life maybe parents should let their kids know the princesses and characters ARENT REAL and if someone has a backpack on they arent a princess
Girl. It’s not that serious lol. “Imagine what they would do to little Sally’s imagination. “ kids are dying from school shootings. I think it’s time to use our “could you imagine “ energy for more serious things. Lol.. you made this a lesson, teach kids not to kill other kids.. that’s who need to “do better” not some young random girls dressing up, we got 3 year old transgenders, I promise kids will be fine after this, and the girl are probably amazing , who know what type of things they do for others. You should do better.
Also they were allow costumes. He said in the video after looking it up , they weren’t kicked out because of the costume it’s self. There was just a specific guideline , length etc. this was done a rule that was modified because of Halloween and part of the guidelines they didn’t fully follow. In Ca you can’t have costumes, there you can .. it’s public information.
@@indirajaya1164 people can have opinions about multiple topics. Miraculous, I know. This video is about people dressing up as princesses at Disney. That’s why the comments are about that topic. It is reasonable for people to think that small children might be disappointed if someone who looks very convincingly like a princess tells them they can’t take a picture.
If you want to rant about guns and lgbtq+ people I’m sure there are plenty of more relevant videos for you to foam at the mouth at.
This has always been a rule for Disneyland for as long as I can remember (edit: not since park opening or since my childhood, I’m talking a good 7-8 years possibly more). You can Disney bound but not full on cosplay as a Disney character. I think they’re more lenient if it’s a Disney Halloween ticketed event. Other than that they’ve always been this strict. So WDW having similar policies makes sense.
Yes. I know for specific events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party they do allow adults to dress up in costumes, wigs, etc. but you are not aloud to pose for pictures or sign autographs. I guess WDW made some exceptions to the rule in October during COVID because the traditional events were not going to happen but I’m sure they had guideline to prevent having to kick people out. There is no way they were let into the park as ticked guests dressed like that. They look amazing but definitely against park policy.
@@beatrixpoley9100 oh ok! So it’s like if someone poses as a federal agent for Halloween. It would have to have some form of distinction between a real agent or cosplay. I did see someone in the video with a tinker bell costume. Does the policy get that specific on Halloween though? Ultimately, at the beginning, they appear to have no distinction from the real cast members. I almost thought those were the real cast members. It makes you think!
this was 2020 halloween season so yes they can dress up in costume, the park though has rules for it that not every park posts online in easy to find places. I know personally how some rules are not written in all places for Disney parks. I also know rules from CA are not same in Florida for costumes during Halloween. So honestly it is on the park to SHOWCASE all the rules out in open upon entry and on website and all apps.
That's stupid that's basically denying your fans. If you like comics then you will dress up as your favorite comic character at a comic con.
@@darkiceywolf2953 No, because you don't know who's dressing up. For example it can be paul reubens dressed as spiderman.

@@Detroit_Dawg You're right but its private property so they have the right to ask you to leave if you dont follow their rules.
I agree with them needing to change out of costume or leave. You never know what kind of people they are. Disney vets their employees for the safety of the children in the park. A child might go anywhere or do anything for someone dressed as a Disney princess in a Disney park which could prove to be dangerous for the child. The park was in the right here.
Exactly. While not Disney, I work for another theme park that has friendly characters that are from a beloved IP and I have been “best friends with” the canine protagonist.
Children run up to me, excited and parents think nothing of it. Thankfully, I went through an extensive hiring/rigorous training process to get there and the company felt secure in putting me (previously I was a babysitter!) in that costume and representing that character (who I love) for thousands every day.
It’s unfortunate but true that some people enter this place with ill intent. One of the girls was in costume as another character once when she noticed a strange-acting adult man taking photos of random children, especially in or around the waterpark! We’d had characters and their minders follow him until security caught up because we’re all just as mindful/protective of the children we interact with.
however i abstain.
"might" a meteor might come down from the sky and slam into me but is that going to stop me from leaving my house??
@@vacationboyvideos that's a nice random-ass argument you got there my dude, but it definitely does not apply here.
You can’t do that. It ruins the magic. You can’t see two of each character in the parks. It adds to the confusion and ruins the illusion.
It ain’t that serious 🤫
Adults dressed up as Disney characters. Grow the f up.
I think it’s like “safety” because they are randoms so kids might walk up to unofficial people
uh idk bout you personally i dont raise my kids the way Disney wants me to lol they know its not real. I find it crazy thats its just a normal way to raise kids telling these characters are real.. just why? its what they stand for whats important. its the meaning that we give things thats important not being caught up in illusions
Your right I would be confused
Disney has every right to do this. It’s one, written In their park rules and two could be used for predatory intent. Children will want to walk up to the princesses and parents will allow them to. It’s just them keeping the park safe. Just because one set of cosplayers could be safe doesn’t mean that all of them could. Also say people think they’re and employee and does something disgusting to them. This is all a way to keep guests safe and not ruin Disney’s name. If someone came dressed as a princess and started twerking or something that would make the company look bad.
The Jane character from Tarzan was droppin it like it’s hot!
For context, in October of 2020, adults were allowed to wear costumes in the Disney parks, so they weren't breaking any rules there. Unfortunately, this is probably a situation where the costumes were just too good and the giant group was a distraction.
Sorry buddy but Disney already beat the child molesters to the children .
Lol...I agree it would be funny and nice a Disney princess twerking
Disney has sued a deceased child's tombstone for having mickey mouse on it so I wouldn't put it past them to be upset about this.

This was during Halloween season where you could dress up I literally went dressed as chat noir
We once went to California adventure and there was a girl dressed as Mary poppins. I asked her if we could take a picture with her not knowing she was just a visitor and she rolled her eyes and said hurry take the picture quick or we will get in trouble. Let just say I regretted asking her.

To clear things up for people: This video was posted during the 2020 halloween season. Adults were allowed to wear costumes during regular park hours from September 15 to October 31 2020 because evening halloween events were cancelled. The cosplayers clearly followed the no pictures or autographs rule as you can see at 2:45. The issue was probably with this rule (copied from the official WDW website): "Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses)". They didn't have to sneakily make their way in and hide their costumes, the cast member at the entrance was probably not fully aware of all the costume rules or didn't think it applied to these costumes because technically none of them dragged on the ground.

The reason why Disney does not let adults dress up as Disney characters in the park is that there is always a possibility that an adult can use dressing up as a Disney character to kidnap or take advantage of a child. If a child runs up to you thinking you are the real Ariel and the parents think you're the Ariel employed by Disney themselves then you have the ability to take advantage of that child. The child trusts you because they think you are a real princess and the parents trust you because they think you are a Disney employee and won't do anything to harm their children.
dressing up like that is ok if you are nice.
@@SamSitar Nope, it’s against the rules
I mean, I suppose that COULD happen, but the more pressing reason is character integrity. If you're walking around and see Snow White getting drunk or hear Belle swearing at her boyfriend, it sets the company in a bad light. even just refusing to stop and say hi to a child, which they are NOT obligated to do as a non cast member, is crushing to a fan. Most people here got it right, the children have expectations that need to be upheld.
This was during Halloween season where you could dress up the only guidelines was that your clothing couldn’t be tripped on like the tail I wore for my chat noir costume
But also imagine how confused the kids are when they go with their mom and ask for a photo and their response is “I’m sorry, we don’t work here”
I feel so bad for the worker who had to tell the kids that those “princesses” weren’t real
For the sake of the children's protection, the park workers did the correct thing here. As otherwise you could have any pervert dressed as a Disney character interacting with kids.
Had to be hard for the guys to tell them that. Now if it was one of the real actors that had to tell them I imagen that they would have come up with something along the lines of, "those are not the real princesses, they are duplicates created by the evil queen and sent to call trouble for everyone in the parts. Do not worries we caught them before they could do any thing and they are being taken away to the dungeon. Now let me introduce you to the real princesses come this way little ones." I imagen thats how it could have gone down if it was one of the actors since the whole improve training and keeping the immersion things is a thing for them.
No different than a parent having to explain about the 12th Santa the kid sees before Christmas LOL.

@@pranalight76 what does kids starving in africa have to do with this☠️
If they’re true Disney fans then they’re risking getting banned from the parks for for life for pulling a stupid stunt like this. It’s easy to find the Cosplay costume rules for Disney and the one main rule as an adult is that you can’t wear actual princess or character costumes. The only people allowed to do that are young children.
what if someone identify as a 8 yo old?? isn't that discrimination?
@@dustball9909 in this day and age, that wouldn't surprise me if they tried that defense lol
Ik frs. It makes them look childish af 💀
They were just taking pictures. Maybe they own a kids birthday party thing where a princess comes to your kids party and they were merely getting pictures for their advertisement. Disney needs to loosen up geezus
Actually, there are certain times where adults wearing costumes is allowed at Disney parks… typically, its during the Halloween parties. Their only stipulations are that we can’t wear masks that cover our faces and we have to make sure to have the costume not be 100% spot on. Although, there have been a few times where this wasn’t as enforced. You can Google cosplay photos taken at Disney parks from these events. Usually though, CMs have to hold guests to these rules because they don’t want to run to risk of a guest having a bad experience with an inexperienced, untrained, unpaid character within their parks. Which, although understandable, it does create unfortunate circumstances like this because there are those of us who love to cosplay our favorite characters and we want to show our love that way at the parks, in what would be the best possible setting for such cosplay…
It just confuses the little kids, seeing the Disney Princesses in one area and then seeing the original Disney Princesses in another location. It’s like seeing two Santa Clause’s at each end of a shopping mall! Lol
Two Santa's are better than one 😆 more presents.
This is such a good analogy lol
Agreed! It’s almost like they’re seeing clones!
Indeed!!
Great analogy! Imagine the headfakes.
I would permanently ban them for arguing about it. They knew exactly what they were doing.
I'm so glad you caught this. I think these ladies broke the rules knowing full well what they were but chose to wear these costumes anyway. I think the allure of getting photos in costume was greater than worrying about getting asked to leave. We already know you can a free spirit jersey I'd you wear an inappropriate top. These ladies deserve to be asked to leave and they should feel LUCKY they were able to get a single photo in the parks. It's obvious why Disney doesn't want anyone dressed so closely to the princesses. As an employee I was not allowed to dye my hair too red...because even in regular clothes people shouted Ariel at me.
your words provide a chilling clue as to how there was segregation in the south and how hitler came to power and how people were put into cattle trucks.. too many people consider following orders to be a virtue and breaking them to always be unforgivable..

Former WDW CM here, just from my observation:
We know that the women dressed up for MNSSHP 2020 but their costumes were very similar to the actual princesses in the park that it can sort of break immersion. That explains a lot of the confusion shown here in this video when they were seen doing guest activities such as posing/taking pictures/carrying satchels. Also timestamped on 2:40, the woman dressed as Aurora was approached by a guest and inquired if they can take a picture with them, in which the Aurora responded "no we're not real princesses". Imagine the guest's confusion. Costume guidelines for Halloween events now says that Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground. (for example, full-length Princess dresses) so they have already broken that guideline. But the guidelines also adds that "All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests." So if that Aurora (and the women) knew that was not allowed and declined to take a picture with the guest, my gripe was that they knew of the other guidelines, but risked it regardless though they were understanding and calm when Nick and the other managers confronted them. Also that section where they left (with the white walls) at the end of the video is the area that MNSSHP CMs direct guests to exit the park after the Halloween event so they definitely were escorted out the park. I also do think they snuck in the costumes because CMs at park entrances were well informed about costume guidelines during this time of year. There's no way Park Ops CM would just simply let them in like that.
So why did they escort out “Jane”? Her dress was short and she didn’t take any pictures.
@@bravanator551 Well there's two reasons. One being that she's with the group thus all of them were escorted out. Two, her dress is still very similar to the actual Jane in the park.
Yep that poor child I wonder what her parents told her
Idk how true it is but I’ve heard if someone in your group does something to be kicked out the whole group is kicked out not just the person or people causing an issue. I’m not interested in testing the truth of this statement so I can’t say for sure but I definitely understand why if that is true.
Thank you for this information! Case is closed!
Considering this was filmed during the pandemic, I feel especially bad for the kids because no characters were doing meeting great at that time so this must have been a huge surprise turned into a massive let down for those kids really hoping that they could see their favourite Disney characters
6:07 staff clarifies they are Halloween costumes. There was also someone walking around dressed as Tinkerbell. I'm guessing wearing costumes are allowed during that event, but there was some other issue perhaps with dress length.
“This is more important than a dole whip. …or you could call me later.” 💀😂 I’m so dead. This guy gets it 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 I caught that too.
If you’re a cosplayer who wants to have cool photoshoots, you can choose locations outside of Disney World that look like cool gardens or castles. Or if you want to go to Disney World and take cute photos in a group, you can wear casual, modern Disney bound outfits with NO costume wigs.

the thing that bothers me most is the neglect that these cosplayers have had for children. A child who enters Disneyland truly believes he is meeting real princesses. In this way, not only did the girls ruin the illusion of the park but also confused many children
They are not allowed to interact with the children or take pictures with any guests because they are not actual cast members therefore have not been trained on the rules of HOW to interact or pose for photos.
They were allowed to have costumes. It was Halloween 2021 Walt Disney Florida allowed it. It’s just their costumes look too real which which meant Disney couldn’t make any money?
They were not “real princesses”? Bahaha. Sorta like someone impersonating the “real Santa”. Spoiler alert, none of them are “real princes” unless part of the royal family visiting from England.
@@sheluvssmokedupeyes1it was from halloween 2020
Lol there are no real princess at Disney just people who imitate them these woman dressing up at Disney charters did not upset or confuse any children the only ones upset here are the adults
Can I just say that I love how the cast members still made sure that they were still called "guests" despite them clearly violating costume guidelines. They also did not put these women in a bad light by saying negative phrasing like "they broke the rules", instead they just use "its Halloween season and we have guidelines". What a respectful way to escort out park goers who violate the rules, but still keep their integrity as people who just want to enjoy the park as much as everyone.
Question though: How come they were allowed in in the first place? Did they dress up in the bathrooms inside the park but entered as "civillians"?
They looked old enough to know better.
I think security opening their bags and finding five costumes would've given it away.
look through the other comments on this video. it was a day where costumes were allowed, but their dresses touched the ground and were too similar to the real princess dresses.
@@henloworld514 I am aware of this. Just curious why the cast members did not stop them at the entrance when the costumes resembled too close to Face Characters.

Or some employee just didn't tell them no at the gate. I mean think about how many employees they must have passed during this video......it's not a short walk to Adventure Land etc. As I recall. Thought it's been a long time since WDW but in Disneyland you'd pass probably 14 cast members at least not including all the ones at the gates...
Im a cosplayer and love disney parks and for sure we all know this is a rule. They INTENTIONALLY brought the costumes in a bag and dressed up to take pictures. It is rude and ignorant and blatantly ignoring park rules for clout. The fact they took pics with guests and autographs just made them more guilty. I can tell u that almost all disney cosplayers know of the rules and they broke them on purpose
I agree with almost everything you said I just want you to give me a time stamp to where they took pictures with visitors?, because I've seen them deny people from taking pictures with them.
@@cashmerebenoit1668 same. I just saw ppl taking pictures of them.
right. they could've put on disney princess INSPIRED outfits (i saw a woman with red hair and a green shimmering skirt on- obviously dressed as ariel). but instead of that they had on real nice dresses-almost very similar to the actual princesses. The outfits are cute, but they should've done that else where. I almost got them confused for the actual princesses!
She runs a princess party company out of state and she goes to Disney World with her employees to take photographs of just the girls to promote her company. She is also a former Disney princess from Disney World so I think she knows what she's doing. Plus, this was in October where adult guests ARE ALLOWED to dress as characters for the season.
YEP! They knew what they were doing. Wanting to be the center of attention.
This is why Disney bounding is a thing. Those cosplayers knew what they were doing. Also, how they got in, they could've come in regular clothes and just changed in the bathrooms.
This was during Halloween so adults are allowed to dress up in costumes, however there are rules stating that you cannot have full length gowns on to avoid this type of confusion. Idk how they made it past security but honestly shame on them for pulling this, can you imagine how many children were confused when their favorite princess didn’t wave at them or anything as they passed?
this is common for most theme parks. It’s for safety precautions among other things, children run up to people in costumes and these people are trained to entertain and take photos. They don’t need children or anyone else coming up to park guests and possibly having a bad experience or being confused because they aren’t actual employees
I can see this being a problem. Children believing they're the park actors and wanting to interact with them. Not saying cosplaying is wrong, but leave it for the trained professionals.
Trained professionals?? What like dress up and don’t insult guests?
Training done
@@markwatson8345 You clearly have no idea what it takes to be a cast member for Disney parks and you're a grown man..how sad. Do your research before assuming everything is the easiest thing in the world. It isn't just that, it's dealing/avoiding weird or inappropriate questions, standing and walking around in 100+ degree weather in a giant dress that weighs you down, constantly having to smile and wave no matter what people say or what happens, etc. I could go on and on but it is not as easy as it looks at all. Either way they should still respect the parks rules by not dressing up as cast members. They are adults, they should know better.
@@zeroandjiji Sounds like you hated it. Maybe you should quit. And as for you assuming I do know how being a character is, my brother was first teenage mutant ninja turtles in late 80's and early 90's, probably before you were born, and said same shit but in a way that made me think he at least enjoyed it as a summer job and all the bad didn't bother him as much as it seems to bother you. He certainly never thought there was much training involved and would tell me stories about messed up and crazy guests that would do and say stupid shit. He would just smile and give them the middle finger through his fake three fingered mutant ninja hand and they always thought he was waving goodbye. He works in Hollywood now and cannot stand dealing with Disney in the entertainment industry. Maybe when you get bigger and move out of your parents house and have more experience you will have a better reference point on what training is and how other jobs may be tougher and require more of it or at least take years upon years to master.

I took orders, was training a new person while taking the orders and had to help make food as well as my manager was the only line person working since the rest of our team went home. And I wasn't even a manager, just a cashier. Not to mention I would break down the line, clean both hot and cold line, help with dishes and carryover, scrub and mop the floors, etc. And like I said..I was only a cashier. I've also worked retail too sweetie, im not a child 😌 And how professional of your brother to flip off children and people at an amusement park WHILE working. I hope he gets fired for how horrible he's treating people. As someone who went through a lot and was treated horribly by customers, the number one rule for any business is the customer is always right and you have to keep a smile on your face no matter what happens. He sounds like a wimp since one little thing sets him off and he feels the need to flip people off under a costume. Sounds pathetic and embarrassing to me that an adult would do that 👀 Might wanna look into anger management or therapy for him 😁 Either way, just because their training is different doesn't mean it "isn't hard". Try putting on a puffy dress that weighs almost as much as you with a hoop skirt underneath and stand out in the sun all day waving and smiling to people with nothing but a positive attitude and see how you like it then. Not to mention all of the other training they have to go through that we don't know cause that's just the obvious part of being a disney cast member. Unless you are there and in their shoes, you have no right to say whether it is easy or hard cause from what I have heard, a lot of Disneyland cast members who were princesses told their stories about how rough and brutal it can be. Nobody knows until they go through it themselves.

This is like the biggest known rule of the parks you can't dress like the characters. It's a safety thing. They absolutely knew it was not a good idea and still did it.

I think what a lot of people are missing here is that they were let in this way because of Halloween, they have different costume guidelines. I've seen full cosplay at their Halloween parties before. So I'm sure it was a shock that they got kicked out. But couldnt they just change and come back?

I want to add on top of what everyone else has already said in the comments is that there's also only supposed to be one of each Princess. And with cosplayers like this, the little kids could get even more confused. But that's on top of the fact that they're not actors, they didn't go through the vigorous training that Disney makes their character actors go through. They even have to study how to sign their names to make sure that each of the character's autographs don't change from actor to actor. The things they say are also very important. There's so many reasons why it's not allowed. And these women knew this. They're not stupid.

You can dress up but there’s no reason to wear this level of costume at Disney.
Adults should be able to dress up at Disney world as well, kids should understand that adults like to dress up just like they do as it makes them feel special.

That’s why there’s Disneybounding. There’s a reason these rules are in place-nobody over the age of 14 can go in costume. Full stop. Despite their Cosplay being on point, and hard to distinguish from actual princesses-there in lies the issue. They can be mistaken for actual princesses and there is a liability issue where Disney can be sued should something happen. So a good workaround is Disneybounding or if they allow costumes for a specific time of the year but that is very rare and that varies from Disneyland to Disneyworld and there are guidelines. They’re best to have photo shoots elsewhere.
yeah I think we all understand that point. Considering how hard Disney tries to keep the illusion going for kids im betting that its more about the illusion than the liability. If they wanted to let people fully cosplay im sure they can find a relatively easy way to make it happen while avoiding liability.

If guests can’t tell the difference between costume cosplay and literal character performers, that’s really on them. These guests had wristbands, backpacks, cell phones, MASKS (characters at Disney don’t wear masks unless it’s a part of the costume- Disney Princesses expressly do not wear masks at the Parks!) - so many indicators that they are not the performers currently working at the Parks! Plus if they were performers they would’ve had a character attendant with them. Guests often have “vacation brain” where if they see someone in a dress, even if it’s not a dress that’s currently at the Parks (like the Ariel one, that’s a replica of an old parade dress Ariel used to wear), they’ll go “ooh pretty princess I gotta get a picture” and honestly? they should know better. Guests don’t do enough research for how much tickets cost to get into the Parks, you think they’d be able to tell the difference between a cast member and a hobbyist. Like I said, these gals were not stopping for photos because that is the rules, they are very aware of the rules and told everyone around them that they are not the performers and are fellow guests in their own costumes.
@@whatdoyousuppose I think you are right. The "vacation Brain" was on high alert and this is much ta-do about nothing. When they walked in the gate, if it was an issue, the guards would have stopped them.
Some kid called Jane, Mary Poppins lmfao
2:44 one of the reasons why you shouldn't do this! That little girl was excited thinking she was going to get to talk to the Princesses that are paid actors to interact and entertain children. Instead, she gets told "No, we're just regular grown ass adults playing dress up because the rules shouldn't apply to us, now move along, you're in our shot!
Just like this girl!5:03 she says hi Ariel and all she says is "Yes" like wtf? Obviously depending on the emotional iq the little girl had I would've imagine then being confused.
As a cosplayer, this is horrendous! Those poor kids surrounding them like zombies, to have a special life changing little moment meeting a ~Disney Princess~. Way, way different than meeting someone who means well and is dressed well as a cosplayer at a convention. If Disney wants to encourage stuff like this, it would've been cool to see a space specifically for photoshoots and dress up type events so there wasn't so much confusion.
Disney actually has pretty hefty rules for this, hence why these women were escorted out of the park. You can't show up to the park in a full blown costume, its not confusing for anyone unless you don't know how to follow the rules.
@@chelseau7435 I know! Haha I meant, knowing they have such heavy rules, you'd think they'd come up with something different, instead of saying that guests could wear a costume (BUT they gotta go by the guidelines, so that the parks guests aren't confused like this whole video caused hah.) Instead of even having this be a huge thing for their park, why not have things like special events in designated areas for people like these women to get out all there "I'm dressing up in full costume" energy out. Somewhere where it's said that it's a place to dress up in, and that it would be a guest centered area. I think the park is 100% for not wanting guests in costume and this video is the perfect example. But again, as someone who was once a kid, and even now as a adult who likes to dress up, it would be nice to have a spot for a cool photo :)
@@barbiebabee9282 They do have a designated time and place for it, during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you can go full board, Disney bounding is all that is offered and stated allowed during the off season. Its posted everywhere that you cannot dress in full costume due to liability issues. These women knew this as well, they literally had to of snuck these costumes in somehow in order to take photos, they wouldn't have even been allowed in with them already on. So many rules being broken.
@@chelseau7435 ooooo I see! And I suppose I could make a argument that "Dapper Day" is a time for stuff too haha. Yeah wow, these guests really did make sure they never thought of someone close to this again I'm sure
@@chelseau7435 The video was taken place on the Halloween event you just mentioned tho
This is why the Disney Community invented the trend “Disney Bound” where you develop outfits based around a certain princess or character.
You don’t have to ditch the Disney magic, but you do have to down play it as an adult.
This concept makes sense. Like the memes of people making "modern day" princesses. Do something like that.
I know a fitness trainer, who's a woman, and will cosplay male characters but if they were a woman and really looks unique and different while still seeing the fan part of it.
Even then you can go all out on the cosplay, you just shouldn't do it in the parks where you can easily get confused as a face character. Gardens, natural landscapes or historical buildings could suffice for your photoshoot
Cosplayers can easily get confused for cast members. It can hurt the brand & can be harmful to the kids.
2:20 Ariel went from knowing dinglehoppers to cameras LOL
LOL!
Well, Ariel is a hipster after all.
I've gone during the Halloween party as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. When people approached me for a picture, I declined. You are not allowed to take pictures with other guests. That was the issue.
You're not allowed to take pictures with other guests LOL okay..
Keep giving this corrupt pedophile industry all your money..lol
Halloween is the one exception for adults being allowed to dress up. Otherwise it is not allowed at all (whether you take pictures with other guests or not) because they could ruin the experience for others
I was dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood on Halloween many years ago at WDW and people kept asking me for a photo. I was permitted because Red isn’t a Disney character as of yet. So I got a pass. I didn’t want to disappointed little ones that liked me so much and one Disney worker told me to try and apply for a job. Lol.
I totally get this rule… especially after listening to the language some fans use at the parks. Disney only allows trained, professional character actors to play these parts for a reason, because they can control how people behave when dressed as the character. Do you really want your child walking up to a someone dressed as their favorite character who may be behaving inappropriately, swearing, or being rude to others… how much would that destroy your child’s image of that princess? I mean, it kind of ruins the fantasy even just seeing these characters in masks. These girls knew the rules… they agreed to them when they entered the park, and they broke the rules. You can hear how confused people are to see this… because it’s not special to see the princesses just walking around the park outside of the special events. The reason these rules exist is for safety and to protect the integrity of the characters.
Exactly and they know how to deal with children.
I loved the Karen's yelling about them video recording
Woooow, imagine being a kid and having no context of the situation 😂 I'd remember that for life 😆
Listen I’m a cosplayer, so I know how much work and dedication goes into cosplay.
HOWEVER, as many people have pointed out in the comments; there are very valid reasons why you’re not allowed to dress as the characters at Disney Parks, AND they already knew this before going to the Park.
from my angle, front line managers cannot solicit a complaint. only the manager in charge can do that.
Those costumes looked way to good for “Halloween costumes”
Those people at Walt Disney World can’t do that. Those princesses are Disney’s icons. People at Walt Disney World you’re fired!
Anyone over 12 is not allowed to wear costumes to the parks it ruins the magic and it is for safety reasons of children getting stolen or kidnapped by fake characters so I'm not surprised they got kicked out please follow disneys rules they are there for a reason
Your absolutely right, you know when I cosplay is back in my own hometown of MA, I would never cosplay as Disney character at Disney World cause I will get in trouble by security and escorted out.
@@domcariddi u can get banned from the Disney parks as well
So pathetic.
Ruins the magic....thats exactly what happens. And how can a child get kidnapped if the parents are watching the kids
They shouldn't allow any age then you shouldn't ban it just for over a certain age
I love Disney but seeing that grown up man getting all stressed up running behind those girls and nervously telling people “These are not OUR princesses” as in “not the real ones” made me laugh 😂
it made me laugh too, like he has the real princess in his control with the Force from Star Wars I guess...
That grown up man is an employee and is doing his job. He is working, and he doesn't want to get fired because of those women, so I don't see any funny in this. I believe you don't work and don't know how it is to deal with stressful situations.
@@LauRa-re9un that guy was working there? He should have had a bull horn. I thought someone mentioned that he was escorting them through the park to a private party???
@@LauRa-re9un hilarious you think that was a stressful situation.
@@Nhoj2244 I really don't care about what you think
With how good those costumes were, I cannot blame Disney, because those looked like legit cast members, and that could be a problem if those cosplayers acted up and caused problems for guests, where it would look as if Disney employees are causing problems.
Exactly. They could even get the actual get the Disney character employees fired thinking it was them doing something out of character
Also I like add they do have strict rules for Disney character actors
The main issue I see, is the fact this could ruin the experience for younger kids. Many children believe they are actually meeting the real character....until they look over and see another one.
Um… neither would be real. They’re both just people in a costume.
@@sarahj30 ....🙄I said many children "believe" they are meeting the real character. Read for understanding, not just to say something back.
....it's obvious that their plp in costume but for children they look like actual characters from their favourite shows
It's about safety more than anything. Tbh I feel bad and confused for the kids (over like 5) that actually believe the characters are real, and for those under 5 they have to find out eventually. If they are that gullible in the first place it's easy to explain away with "magic" or "honestly" explain those are copy-cats. Etc.
@@toast3y Yes. And the Disney Jr character costumes are shameful lol This was the first super obvious break for my kid if they were to believe at all..that ruined it. Lol 🤣 We wouldn't want to wait to see characters anyhow so it's a relief.
We've always encouraged knowledge and our kid from a young age was told about voice actors, special effects, etc. We barely brought up and facilitated Santa when very young...but by age 4-5 we were like "yeah it's us" lol. She's a happy child and this has felt like a good thing.
I think the biggest issue with random people being in costumes is that kids might mistake them for performers. What if some kid is kidnapped? Disney obviously can't allow this.
My grandpa tried dressing up as Abe Lincoln one time at Disneyland in the 70’s. Security told him to take the top hat off. He then proceeded to go to the gift shop and buy another top hat. Long story short, he got kicked out. So yeah, don’t try and steal the thunder away from the actors.
I feel like that’s a little unnecessary. Abe Lincoln isn’t a Disney character, and he kind of wears standard formal clothing. Like you could argue he’s just a guy with a beard and eccentric formal old-timey fashion sense.
@@Pandacalifornia At the parks Abe Lincoln is a character because he does have the attraction “great moments with mr Lincoln”, and back in the day, possibly including the 70s, characters like that were more common to possibly be available for meet and greet.
@@raingilkes3502 Exactly right. There was even a news article written about it saying he was drawing a bigger crowd than Mickey.
This is against Disney rules dressing up to look anything like the princesses in the park. The fact they got kicked out, Disney was within in rights to do so because it is stated as such that adults may dress up for Halloween but it can't resemble or be anywhere close to those that are the actual characters.
Where is this rule? How did they get inside?
@@AddisonZegan anyone that is going to go into the park, it's been on the website, you can call and ask a CM, when we had Halloween parties it also stated on there as well. I thought they did a really good job with their costumes but rules are rules and meant to be followed or get kicked out. Disney has princesses already and doesn't want anyone mistaking dressed up as such as an actual princess for Disney. It also confuses kids when they see that and then see the actual princess in the same place.
@@saphyz1 how did they get inside
@@AddisonZegan they could've had someone bring them in for them seperat3, could've had them with, and then dressed separate. There's a number of things and ways how they got in.
@@AddisonZegan Saphyz1 is correct only the kids can dress up in Disney's costumes not the adults.
I didnt even think you could enter the park in a costume
“This is more important than a dole whip” lmao 🤣
I feel bad for the children who thought they were real
I remember seeing this in person these women were trying to charge to get a picture with them 5$ They were saying to guest before people started telling workers that they work for Disney .
wth if true. they try to turn disneyland into times square
This isn't an anime convention, imagine a child seeing this cosplayer coming up to them, and the cosplayer tells them too shoo off, it breaks the "magic of disney" to have a bunch of cosplayers walking around
True at Tokyo Disneyland they allow it for Halloween time
Based on how I know security works, its actually possible they snuck these in. I imagine they had their costumes in big bags but made sure nothing else in the bag would make the security sensors go off (I bring in a GIANT backpack filled with baby stuff for my kids all the time and since there are not materials inside that alarm the sensor, the inside of my bag never gets searched). They could have changed and then left their bags in a locker. Also based on what the CMs said and the decor around the park and I saw one of the cast members holding up the Not So Scary sign/wearing a Not So Scary outfit, these guests likely thought they could wear their costumes because MK normally allows guests for Not So Scary to arrive a few hours before the event. Unfortunately because their costumes looked SO accurate to the Princesses in the parks and having other guests confuse them for Disney Princesses, the CMs likely decided to ask them to leave for liability. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked them to with make some quick adjustments to their costumes or to wait until the Halloween event was fully happening so they wouldn't stand out as much. Its only because you were at the parks during the Halloween seasons did this type of costume on an adult was likely allowed at first. During the rest of the year, they wouldn't have been allowed inside.
Adults are allowed to wear costumes this year because Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween was cancelled.
Lol apparently not! They were clearly kicked out of Disney world!
I heard these girls were signing autographs and taking photos with guests. There are strict rules about that especially this year. Dressing up is allowed right now just can’t be too close to the likeness of the real characters
@@coachgiag who did you hear from? I just released this video today
@@AddisonZegan the incident is all over the Disney fan groups on Facebook. People witnessed them do it. That’s how I found your video actually
@@coachgiag show me
Good glad they did. There’s a reason for rules. It distracts from the magic of the actual actors.
And it’s also their job too. The employees applied and interviewed and it’s not exactly an easy thing to do. So seeing these people just roaming around unofficially in costumes is just disrespecting the rules and the employees.
You aren’t supposed to be allowed to dress in costume as an adult. Imagine how easy it would be for a predator to grab a child if this were allowed.
What the employees said is true. In Disney World, Florida does this and I think Japan does as well, we have Disneybounding allowed. It means that you can dress up "in theme" to a particular Disney character. The guideline is that Adults specifically are Not allowed costumes that make them look exactly like the characters. This is for a nu,ber of reasons, one being so that guests are not confused for Disney Cast Members, and secondly for the safety of kids who might be lured away by a fake Disney character (potential kidnaping),
Kids on the otherhand are allowed to wear character costumes that resemble characters since they cannot be confused for Disney cast members.
I’ve been going to Disney for years on end as a cosplayer, I’ve looked into doing some Star Wars cosplays there but the guidelines for costumes when it comes to these events don’t allow for costumes that pretty much replicate a character in the park. You can’t be belle in her iconic dress or a stormtrooper with hard armor, but people do disneybounding where they sort of dress like a character, so you could be belle on vacation or a stormtrooper wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt holding your helmet
The rules in Disney World are a lot less tight than the rules for costumes in Disneyland as people going to Galaxies edge are allowed in Disney World to come in cloaks and robes, but not so much in Disneyland
I know it's against the rules, but I wish there was still a place in the park where adults could dress up like this. I remember as a kid my family was always stretched super thin just getting the tickets and parking, plus hotel and food expenses. I never got a chance to buy those insanely expensive princess dresses they had in the park. It was always something I wished I could do in Disney. I mean, I would have been happy even wearing the mickey gloves they sell. I always regretted not taking advantage of that privilege when I was younger, and now I'll never get the full Disney princess experience.
I wish they'd have a "Royal Experience" attraction where you could dress up in the park. Maybe they could give you a "honorary princess/prince" pageant style sash to wear in the park so people know you're a guest. Or have an adult area for this stuff. I mean, considering how many adults go to the parks solo/without kids just for Disney, you'd think they would give their adult fans more love.
The sash idea is low-key brilliant Disney is so accommodating and every other way you'd think that if some adult at risk of getting heat stroke shows up in full Disney garb it would at least be acknowledged and they could give them a special sash and they could be in on the fun heck they could even say some BS like oh I'm a friend of Ariel or something but I agree with you as a child I'd kill for those costumes and it's kind of sad that I have adult money now but unfortunately Disney doesn't want me to use it to honor the stories that they've been cramming down my throat since I was a little kid
Bad odea--pervs gathering together. Of you've ever been to Seattle or San Fran, you know what I mean.
You’re allowed to dress fully for Oogie Boogies Bash. We went as the Sanderson Sisters last year. Full costumes and wigs.
You’re just not allowed to pose for pictures with guests.
😂😂😂😂they got escorted out via back stage too! Oooof
Disney has clearly rules that say you cannot be dressed as a exact Disney character even on the Halloween events. It simply to protect children from coming up to these characters who are not Disney employees. I’m sure that these lady’s are good individuals but these rules are in place for the pedos and kidnappers out there. You don’t know who is who so it’s better for everyone to follow the rule. And let’s assume a mom complained because one of these girls did something to Disney, just because they are not Disney employees doesn’t mean a person can’t present a lawsuit against them, because then a lawyer can argued that’s it’s Disney fault for allowing people dressed exactly as a character in the park
So if someone was dressed up as something else and a child wanted to take their picture, would they be in danger? I would think people visiting the park are there to have fun. Oh, and you don't have to be dressed up to do something bad on Disney property.
There's a such thing as things in control and things out of your control. Places won't just allow you to bring a gun now because people can harm in other ways.
Wow, the cajones on these women, lol.
I’d love to cosplay at a Disney park, but I also realize why the rules exist. They want to alleviate any confusion among the guests. I wouldn’t want my niece or nephew getting a photo or autograph from someone who doesn’t work there.
Yeah it’s literally common knowledge not to go dressed up so close to the actual characters, there’s literally no reason they couldn’t have just worn similar clothing in style or color scheme. Also not just taking pictures or autographs and kids being confused but the fact that someone’s kid could easily get snatched by some random person dressed up as a character who kids are going to be drawn towards. Easy to tell kids stranger danger when it comes to random people and not people dressed in costumes that they spend time watching movies of so overall just a safety thing.
@@nh8603 The snatching part, surprised more people aren't mentioning this. It is a complete child abduction risk to have people dressed like characters in the park and is probably more at the heart of the creation of the rule than even the potential risk to the "magic". If Disney allows them in like this and they take a child, the legal ramifications would be enormous. These women cannot be so stupid as to not understand that them going dressed like this is a slap in the face to child safety, all for likes and social media clicks. Terrible.
As a cosplayer I do feel for them however that should have known better. Disney has these costume policies for reasons. Because cosplayers take the attention away from the actual actors and become a problem for some guests and children.
THE CONFUSING PART IS THAT THEY LOOK LIKE ACTUALL DISNEY EMPLOYEES WHICH CAN CONFUSE KIDS COZ THEY CAN BE CHILD PRDTRS DRESSED UP AS DISNEY PRINCESSES TO HARM KIDS AND GET AWAY WITH IT COZ OF THEIR FEMALE PRIVILEGE!!!!
Better not be sued because now that it's gone and things are better now
I went to Disney in the 80’s dressed as Snow White, when I was 4. My costume was custom made since there were no official costumes back then. Other guests asked to take pictures with me, my family saw nothing wrong with that and I had no problem either, so I did. My family told me they probably thought I was part of the cast (despite me being four). If it confused adults it sure would be confusing to a kid to see an adult guest dressed as a character. Not to say dangerous if someone with bad intentions were disguised with a pretty costume. I understand why they wouldn’t allow it.
A child wearing costumes isn't wrong. Obviously there aren't any child employees but these ladies are grown adults. Little children would follow them and parents would allow it believing they are crew members but are they tho? Any employee is given a costume only after training and tests so I believe now you understand why it's not allowed.
@@jocelyn_thomas I do. What I meant is that if other guests got confused when seeing a child in costume (which is perfectly normal and allowed at the parks), thinking the child was part of the cast, then it’s easier for kids to confuse adult guests in costumes for cast members.
@@MaluCLBS there are no child cast. Only adult employees. No one in their right mind would get confused as to why a child is wearing a fun costume in a theme park
@@jocelyn_thomas I know there aren’t children cast members. Other guests thought I was one when I was a girl AND also a guest.
@@MaluCLBS Sorry, but those were adults humoring a child so that you would feel special. Adults would not mistake a four-year-old as part of the Disney cast. When little girls dress-up, cast members etc.. address them as "Princess", but of course are aware they are children playing dress-up.
7:06 "This is more important than a Dole Whip."
Nothing is more important than a Dole Whip 😂
You can literally see a little girl at the 2:44 mark come to one of them and get turned away. It's obvious why this isn't allowed.
There's no wat for anyone to know exactly how they got through the gate. Anything anyone can do is assume, but even if they made it through those cast members, they had to have kown they were testing the rules and eventually someone would enforce those rules.
Seems like each country has their own rules. In Hong Kong Disneyland, on Halloween or Members-Acess days [special days where adults are allowed to dress up] even if your thing looks super legit, it's okay because they give you a big sticker to stick on the front of your costume to tell people "This Person is a Guest too" also, the no-dragging thing here also applies but the threshold is quite flexible...
Yes in Asia u can cosplay in the parks
"This is more important than a Dole Whip" LMAO
That Jane costume is on point though!!
When the reality of Adulthood kicks in and you ain't special anymore 😪 😂😂
what do you mean ?
Kids can but adults cant??? So stupid
My mom worked as a Disney character in the parks and it is infact disney illegal for adults to wear quality costumes of any characters incase they are mistaken for a actual Disney employee
This is more important than a Dole Whip😂😂
fact
I could have sworn that there were at least 4 more people part of that group, incl. that woman who was portrayed as Tinkerbell.
Imagine them meeting the Princesses as the Princesses?
Inception level event! Lol
It is common knowledge that imitating characters that are in the Disney park is strictly not allowed cosplayers are not the same as trained actors cosplayers typically have no idea how to handle kids and awkward situations as well as trained actors can what they did was dumb and very warranted
