It’s not surprising that the experiences from working at Disneyland are pretty dichotomous in nature – either you love it or hate it. A face character working as Jack Sparrow at Disneyland pretty much reveals what went on behind the scenes, from how he got hired to how he got terminated. It’s a very interesting read.

Disney warned us we were going to have a lot of horny women coming on to us. They were also worried about girls. I heard Disneyland had an Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was very flirtatious, and they finally pulled her because men found her too sexually arousing and were acting out.

You never knew when the casting department was going to come into the park and watch you—they came out of nowhere—or something might end up on YouTube. If a character does something a parent believes is wrong, that’s the video that ends up on YouTube. I was on YouTube after I sat in a lady’s stroller. It’s something I often did, and parents would laugh and take pictures. But management came to me and said, “It looks like you’re sitting down on the job, and we can’t have that.”

I wouldn’t say it was surprising, since Disney has always had very, very strict regulations on ‘keeping the magic alive’, which pretty much told (and trains) cast members never to break the illusion that the characters are real. Also, Disney seems to be policing Youtube, so WATCH OUT FOR THOSE LADIES WITH CAMERA PHONES.
