All of the princesses, pirates and animal characters are celebrities of Disney’s magical world. Just like real-life Hollywood celebrities, they have hoards of adoring fans who can get overzealous and even handsy in the midst of the excitement. So what’s a poor princess to do when someone tries to steal her glass slipper or give her a poisoned apple?
Luckily, costumed cast members are never alone. They always have an attendant to escort them throughout the park, ensuring their safety. However, this is not just a convenient option; it’s a hard rule that must be followed. That means if Gaston needs to hawk a loogie, he’ll be doing it in front of his guard.
