work as a Disneyland princess don't get to choose which princess to audition for anyone who wishes to become a full-time Disney princess must attend an open audition for any role which includes princesses princes and fur characters as well as parade performers a former Disney cast members spoke to BuzzFeed about the process saying that the first categorization was done based on height after that the process of elimination begins based on what roles Disney needs to have filled at that time for this reason people who audition might have to do so multiple times though they might be a perfect fit for a certain character they might be hiring for an entirely different princess at that time a former Disney worker explained on reddit that each person can only attend one audition a year therefore if you're not lucky and end up auditioning for a character that isn't needed you might have to wait another year before trying again the audition involves reading lines and choreography before the actors are chosen to fulfill their roles in one instance a Disney worker tells Insider that out of 500 girls who auditioned only three were picked to become a Rapunzel and Aurora and a Snow White tattoos there are too many people to count who choose to get Disney related tattoos yet if you want to work as a Disney princess you will need to make sure you're devoid of tattoos or at least that you find a way to cover them Disney's internships and program website outlines the details of their no tattoo policy concealing tattoos must only be done with the use of clothing or makeup and it should be natural-looking so the cover-up isn't noticeable long sleeved undershirts can also be worn to make sure tattoos cannot be seen while working at a park these rules don't just apply to princesses but also to all Disney workers the rule extends to prohibiting body piercings earlobe expansions or disfiguring skin implants this would also make it much more limiting for those wanting to audition for Jazmin Moana Pocahontas and Ariel for example they would have to make sure they could somehow hide their tattoos some have commented on the role saying that it's outdated and Disney should be more inclusive in a day and age where tattoos and piercings are so popular what do you think would it ruin the illusion for you if you met your favorite Disney Princess and she had a visible tattoo social media posts actors who have been cast as Disneyland princesses have said that seeing themselves in full costume for the first time is often a surreal experience it's only natural to think that it would make for a great Instagram or snapchat post but hold up Disneyland princesses have to be extremely careful to lock down their social media while they can post about other aspects of their lives Disneyland princesses are not allowed to post about anything related to their jobs they aren't allowed to reveal which character they portray or take any pictures backstage since this would ruin the illusion and could result in spoiling the magic it's important that working as a Disney Princess is never revealed to the public Disney calls this the oath of confidentiality and violating this oath can even result in losing your job while at work Disney Princesses are not allowed to talk or show that they know anything about the world outside of Disney they aren't allowed to reference characters that aren't part of the realm meanwhile they are not supposed to talk about their Disney field day with friends and family the amount of secrecy involved with living in a fairy tale as a Disney princess is almost like being a spy autograph training an autograph book is essential during a vacation to Disneyland and kids will wait in long lines to get a picture and autograph from their face at Disney Princess in order to make this weight worth every second dizzy make sure that all details are accounted for so that meeting at Disneyland princess feels like the real deal one of the reasons that training to work as a Disneyland princess is a five-week grueling process is because there are always more than one of each princess sometimes this may even occur at the same time but in different locations within the park there are several protocols in place to make sure the two of the same Disney Princesses are never within close proximity of one another nevertheless this means that it's very important to ensure consistency so that the Snow White you saw at lunch in Epcot doesn't seem different from the snow white you see later in the afternoon in Magic Kingdom one of these details that need to remain consistence are the princesses individual autographs the autographs are taught in the training process to make sure that each autograph book would look the same from year to year even if the actress changes code words for emergencies one very important rule for anyone who works as a disneyland princess is to never break character working in a theme park and constantly being surrounded by children is not always incident-free in fact it's pretty likely for a child to have a bathroom accident be sick or fall and scrape their knee however it wouldn't be very princess-like to yell out that someone just threw up nearby instead princesses have to learn a code to be able to communicate incidents such as code VIII for a throw up incident or code you for a bathroom incident there's even a code H for a parade horse that poops while working it wouldn't be very princess-like to have to discuss bodily functions but there's another reason for these type of codes in a lot of instances meeting a Disney princess is a dream come true and it would be embarrassing to hear your role model talk about how you lost control of your bladder while waiting in line to see them using a code system also helps make sure that no one feels insecure after all Disney is meant to be the happiest place on earth pointing with two fingers ever notice how the Statue of Walt Disney and Mickey in the Magic Kingdom shows that Walt is pointing using two fingers instead of one well he's not the only one in fact it's a requirement that all disneyland princesses have to point using both the there's as well this might seem strange but there are actually some pretty good reasons for it one of the reasons is that in many cultures such as China Japan Indonesia and Latin America it is considered to be rude to point with one finger in some African countries it is believed that people should never be pointed at rather only inanimate objects therefore the two finger point rule is actually very culturally sensitive considering so many people travel from around the world to see fairy tales come to life another reason is that using both fingers makes it easier for smaller children to see what is being pointed out feel free to test this theory by asking a Disneyland princess for directions once you're there as they are also expected to know everything there is to know about the park itself if a princess's answer to a question regarding Disneyland is I don't know they can actually be fired because of it clean up like a princess who would you guess would be in charge of picking up garbage in a castle we're willing you didn't guess that the princesses do yet they are absolutely expected to at Disneyland the concept of this rule really speaks to how Disney treats all its employees the same princesses like any other Disneyland employee must pick up any garbage they see lying around on the ground with so many visitors it's expected that some garbage might litter the ground but no one wants the Disney illusion to be shattered because of wrappers papers and cups lying around on the ground in order to keep the park as clean as possible all Disneyland employees are expected to contribute to their work environment and clean up whenever they can however there is a weird secret aspects related to the technique used to pick up trash princesses are not allowed to just bend down or squat to pick up garbage in order to throw it out instead a princess should swoop and scoop the garbage they find in a way that looks graceful and still princess like if only real life birds and forest animals could join princesses in their swoop and scoop cleaning it would really be like a Disney movie come to life looks matter a lot Disney has suffered a lot of criticism for its unrealistic beauty standards when it comes to their princesses yet these same standards apply to the actors who portray our favorite Disney Princesses at Disneyland even something specific as Heights can be a make-or-break when it comes to becoming a Disneyland princess only applicants between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 7 inches are considered for becoming princesses villains on the other hands can be as tall as 5 feet 10 inches different heights correspond to different princesses for some princesses with more revealing costumes like Jasmine it's also specified that a Disney worker will need to have a toned stomach women can only wear sheer nail polish or none at all as for jewelry one pair of earrings and one ring is all that is allowed princesses also have to put on their own makeup but still make sure that all actors look the same when dressed up as the same princess there are specific step-by-step instructions to follow for each individual princess people are cast as the Disney princess they most resemble so when it comes to auditioning looks and more important than Talent princesses should also always be smiling and should never sit down no job security Disneyland princesses need to jump through hoops in order to get hired but the worst part is there is no guarantee how long they will be able to keep their position for one thing there are age restrictions for how long a princess can work for the average age of retirements for a Disneyland princess is 27 there's also a limit as to how long Disneyland princesses are allowed to keep their jobs princesses are also given clickers to keep track of how many visitors they receive every hour if a princess receives less than 172 visitors which amounts to 30 seconds per guest they will get reprimanded and could even lose their job prentices also have to re-audition every six months to make sure they are still living up to Disneyland standards during these relook s-- employees are judged on their body shape skin and overall look to make sure they still resemble a disney princess a princess can also lose their job at any time because they are disapproved of this has happened before when an employee's arms got too large and when another employee had an acne breakout all over her face dangerous job it doesn't seem like being in Disneyland princess could have any risks associated with it but a surprising secret is that it absolutely can be in order to become a Disneyland princess everyone must fur be a character performer in fuzzy costumes and masks after this they can begin
