Grandma teach grandson not to be afraid of Mickey mouse
On December 4 the woman in the costume of Mickey mouse even came to the hospital with neck injuries. Her «head» of the suit several times patted grandmother, proving 2-year-old grandson that this huge rodent does not need to be afraid of.
In addition, staff dressed in costumes of Minnie mouse and Donald duck, according to reports from the Sheriff’s orange County, some tourists touched impermissible way. In November of this year 51-year-old man was arrested for having touched one of disneykin princesses in the chest during a photo shoot.
«Everyone should feel safe at work, and we encourage employees to report any unacceptable situations, — said the press-Secretary of Disney’s Andrea finger. We provide many resources to protect the welfare of our employees».
36-year-old woman who plays Mickey mouse at the Magic Kingdom, told investigators that the woman stroked her big and quite heavy «the head» of her costume five times, forcing him to slide down and causing neck strain. However, she added that he thinks the woman deliberately caused her pain, so the Sheriff’s office acknowledged the incident is a civil and not criminal case.
Boone Scheer, brother-in-law grandmother, who so badly stroked Mickey said she couldn’t hurt Mickey mouse intentionally. Especially in front of a little grandson.
«It barely touched character,» said Scheer.
The family was puzzled by the fact that in Walt Disney World there are similar rules for costumed characters as the staff in costume are actively «give five,»and eagerly embrace visitors.
Scheer said that no one in the Park did not do them any comments and warned that characters can’t touch. A few hours later when they were settled in a local hotel, the man who wanted to interview his wife, according to Scheer, was definitely trying to imply that this act was intentional.
The hot embrace with a mouse
The same day, the 36-year-old employee of Disney, which depicts Minnie mouse posed for pictures with the man and his wife from Minnesota.
Minnie mouse hugged the man, and he three times, according to the incident report, touched her Breasts. She reported this to his superiors and was identified by photos Gary Obermiller, 61-year-old resident of Brewster, Minnesota. Later, she refused charges. In a telephone interview with Obermoller denied the accusation.
«I’m not saying that this did not happen — I’m just saying that it wasn’t me,» said Obermoller.
However, this was not the only time the name sounded Obermoller of charges of the staff of Disney World. According to the report, he «inappropriately interacted with the actors» and the next day, December 5, at the Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney World details are not reported, and Obermoller said he did not know what was going on.
«You can kiss Donald?»
A day earlier, December 3, police got a call stating that the person has abused a costumed character restaurant in the Animal Kingdom. A woman aged 60 years was asked if she could kiss Donald duck, — stated in the message about the incident.
Donald Duck agreed, but the situation worsened as the 18-year-old employee playing the character, said that the woman started to touch and grab her by the hands, chest, stomach and face. The employee ran to his colleague from Walt Disney World for assistance, but the elderly woman grabbed it and holding it, followed it. Then the visitor «desperately» put his hands in the costume of the character, touching the breast of the employee.
When the relatives of the visitors realized what was happening, they began to shout and ask her to stop.
Later the employee decided not to press charges, saying authorities that, in her opinion, the woman is likely this behavior was a manifestation of dementia.
