Intense Audition Process
When I lived in Orlando, I knew a woman that played Tinkerbell. She described the audition to me once, and it’s pretty intense. First, you have to be incredibly tiny and light because your job involves you riding a zip line each evening from the top of Cinderella’s Castle to the top of a restaurant in Tomorrowland, and if you’re heavy, things could get…messy.
The final part of the audition involves being suspended from a hundred-foot crane for like 2 hours to ensure that you aren’t afraid of heights. The girls that get this far tend to drop like flies at that stage, many of them in hysterics after about 20 minutes. I had a lot of friends who worked there, many of them characters, and it was apparently a really tough job.
