How old and what skills do you need to be a Disneyland costume character?

Question

I'm 13, i know i'm too young to be one now, but how old, how tall and what skills/qualifications do you need to be a costume character?

Answer 1

You have to be 17 and a graduating senior.  The height requirement varies, depending on the character.  I'm guessing you have to have some acting ability and be friendly and enthusiastic.  You also have to resemble the character if you're going to be a face character, like a princess.

Answer 2

Absolutely None At All 3xcept U Prob Need To Have That Crimal Record Check So They No U Aint Gunna Perve On No Toddler  Ox

Answer 3

probably 18, and i wouldnt think you would need many skills

Answer 4

A theater background is helpful. Age is based on state labor laws.

Answer 5

I'm guessing that 13 is too young, seeing as the costumes are quite tall, and if you want to be a Disney Princess, you'd have to be tall to suite their age, around 20. Also, you'd need to be a people person (even though nobody hears you talk if you're in costume), because of all of the bratty kids.
