The Orlando Sentinel newspaper published an article about working as a character. Enjoy!
I was a character in Florida, but not in France. Either way - you may enjoy this article:

It is true Disney characters do seem to attract some very ‘special’ fans. I have myself had to call Security Cast Members to assist when one Princess Fixated Guest followed Snow White as drifted gracefully into City Hall keenly eyeing the back stage exit to the side of the counter. When the Fan tried to follow and got aggressive when I stopped him going back stage I realised that fan is an abbreviation of fanatic.
It is odd the cross section of fans that Disney Characters attract. From little children for whom they are real, through teenagers who psychologists tell me are aggressive to characters because they are confused how to show their affection - how many music fans run onto the stage at a gig, then look confused and try to strike out at the band - to dirty old men who really should know better.
