Secret rules all Disney employees have to follow - TOP SECRET
1. No pointing



Next time you ask for directions at Disney, observe the cast member`s hands. They will point with two fingers or their entire hand, never one.

2. There`s no such thing as "I don`t know."



Cast members are not allowed to say that they don`t know the answer to a questions. They must find a nearby employee or park phone and ask.

3. Nailed it



Women`s fingernails are not allowed to be any longer than a quarter of an inch past the finger tip and cannot be painted.

4. Read the fine-print



There are also restrictions on eyewear. Employees who wear glasses must pick frames of conventional color with no visible brands or logos.

5. You must be this tall...



Because every costume is the same for each specific character, actors must be a certain height in order to be cast as a particular character.

6. A special title



Employees are not called "employees." They are referred to as "cast members."

7. Autographs please



Cast members are thoroughly trained to sign the names of their characters in a particular way. This way all autographs look the same.

8. Keep it clean



The reason Disney parks look so immaculately clean, is because it is the responsibility of all cast members to keep them that way. Any cast member must pick up any trash they see around the park - no exceptions, not even for Cinderella and Jasmine.


9. Hide those tats



Not surprisingly, cast members are not allowed to display any tattoos or piercings.


10. First name basis



Because Walt Disney himself preferred so strongly to be called "Walt," employee name tags only list first names. This may sound normative to most, but back when it began, Disney was one of the first to only list an employee`s first name, and not their position or last name.


11. Antisocial



Cast members are not allowed to disclose anything about their jobs on social media. If they are found doing so, it would lead to their immediate termination.


12. Let down your hair



In order to convincingly look the part of a Disney character, there are very specific guidelines for cast members appearance. There are restrictions on hair style, color, length and even facial hair.

13. Code words



Cast members use many code words to maintain the culture of mystery. They used to call vomit a "protein spill." Now they simply say "code v."

14. It`s a small, small world



Disney`s character actors are required to stay in character at all times. When asked about anything outside of Disney, like current events or characters from non-Disney movies, they`re supposed to act like they don`t know what you`re talking about. Talk about method acting!
