5. Artist Point This rustic dining experience at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge brings together the finest Pacific Northwest creations. If you dine indoors, you’ll have panoramic views of Copper Creek Falls and Bay Lake. Start your meal with artisanal cheeses and soups. Entrées include filet mignon, cedar plank king salmon, and hanger steak, just to name a few. For dessert, the house-made donuts are a

4. Via Napoli The Italy pavilion at Epcot wouldn’t be complete without a pizzeria. All the ingredients here are imported directly from Italy, so you know that you’re getting the best of the best! The pizza here is made in authentic wood-burning ovens and are really tasty. If you still have room for dessert, the tiramisu and gelato are out of this world! The restaurant itself has a lovely décor. Ea

8. Rigorous Audition Process If an actor makes it past the physical screening, the audition process is fairly intense. Most auditions include a dance call and lots of improvisation. In fact, it isn’t uncommon for princesses to audition several times before they land a coveted role. On top of that, competition is rather stiff. All hopeful princesses need to arrive well-rested and ready to smile unt

7. Studying the Source Material Once an actor is cast, they study “their” movie with intent. As that princess, they have to be able to pick up on obscure references and interact with guests as if they’ve truly lived the story. Additionally, princesses have to stay inside the “Disney Bubble”. While it appears to be acceptable for princesses to mention other characters, you will never hear them refe

6. Time Limits Because Walt Disney World is such a busy place, the princesses are only allowed to spend so much time with each guest. If they don’t adhere to this rule, lines back up significantly and that princess could even get in trouble. So if Mulan or Belle seem in a rush to take a picture, don’t take it personally. (Many princesses have confessed that they would love more time with their fan

5. Exceptional Improvisation I already mentioned that princesses need to (basically) memorize their movies, but their ability to think on the spot in general, cannot be understated. If a sassier child challenges whether a princess is “real” or asks them any difficult questions, they must be able to divert with grace. Also, they must refrain from modern slang and always find a way to redirect a con

4. Personal Responsibility While wigs, jewelry, and costumes are provided, each princess must be able to do their own makeup. (They also have to learn a special signature for autograph books.) Additionally, they are expected to stay physically fit and to take care of their skin. If not, they may not be permitted to go to work that day. Harsh!

3. Awkward Moments Unfortunately, not all guests are respectful to the princesses during meet and greets. Some guests have said or suggested inappropriate things to the performers. Again, not only must a princess divert unwanted attention, but they must always do so with a smile. Disney absolutely keeps their cast members safe, but they can’t do anything to stop a creepy person from getting in lin

2. Double Duty Although this isn’t as common, some cast members find themselves playing multiple face characters. In fact, many Jasmines usually also play Pocahontas and some Cinderellas are also Ariels. (Don’t forget what I mentioned about needing to know their source material well. Some princesses are studying multiple flicks with intensity!)

1. Time With Fur Every princess doesn’t play multiple heroines, but all of them have to spend time playing a mascot (or fur) character! That means that all character performers have known what it’s like to swelter inside a Stich costume in mid-July. This provides the face characters with great improv practice, as they can only convey things through movement. So the Minnie Mouse hugging you may act
