In one instance, a cast member was working in a character role, like Mickey Mouse. The costume had some issues with ventilation, and on a particularly hot day, they started to feel dizzy and almost passed out while still in the suit. It was a horror - like situation as they were trapped inside the costume and couldn't easily get help until other cast members noticed something was wrong.
Another story is about a new cast member who got separated from their group during a backstage tour. They wandered around for a while in the restricted areas. They were worried about getting in trouble as well as being in an unfamiliar and somewhat creepy environment. Eventually, they were found, but it was a nerve - wracking experience for them.
Yes. There are cases where workers were treated poorly by rude guests. Guests might shout at them or make unreasonable demands. And the workers are not allowed to respond in kind but have to keep smiling and be polite, which is really frustrating.
One horror story is about a cast member who was working in the Haunted Mansion. Late at night, they heard strange noises that seemed to come from the walls. It was really creepy as it was not part of the normal show sounds. They thought there might be some malfunctioning equipment, but when they checked, everything was normal.
Some stories involve unexpected things happening during shows. There was a time when a prop malfunctioned during a parade. A large, heavy object almost fell on a cast member. The suddenness of it and the potential danger made it a really scary moment for the cast member involved.
Well, there have been instances where members had problems with the points system. They thought they had enough points for a certain type of accommodation or length of stay, but then found out that due to some complex rules and changes in the system, they couldn't get what they wanted. It's like a bait - and - switch situation, which is really annoying.
Once, a Disney cast member was dressed as Goofy. He was walking around and accidentally tripped over a small stone. Instead of breaking character, he did this really exaggerated fall that made all the guests around laugh. It was so funny seeing Goofy flailing about in such a comical way.
Another horror story could be related to the behind - the - scenes chaos. Some former cast members have said that there were times when the communication between different departments was so bad. For instance, one department would schedule a parade route, and another department would unknowingly set up an event right in the middle of it. As a result, the cast members on the ground had to deal with the confusion and the angry guests who were expecting a seamless experience.
Sure. There was a former cast member who worked in one of the food service areas. The kitchen was often understaffed during busy times. So, this cast member had to handle multiple tasks like taking orders, preparing food, and serving customers all by themselves. The equipment was also old and would break down frequently, which added to the stress. There was no proper air conditioning in the kitchen area either, so it was unbearably hot while working, especially during the summer months.
One Disney horror story is about the Haunted Mansion. There are tales of real ghosts being trapped there. Some guests claim to have seen strange apparitions during their visits. Another is related to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, where there are stories of a cursed pirate's spirit that haunts the attraction.
Sure. There was a case where the couple booked a specific Disney venue for their wedding. But on the day of the wedding, they found out that there was a double - booking error. Another event was also scheduled at the same time and place. There was chaos as both parties were trying to use the same facilities.
Sure. In the real ending of 'Cinderella', the step - sisters are never truly reformed. They remain bitter and jealous even after Cinderella's rise to royalty. It's not the complete transformation into nice people like the Disney movie might make you think.
