Just spoke to three top Ent. people at Disney via conference call. While they 
did agree to exempt me from the character portion of the job it seemed they 
emphasized the aspects of the job discription that I can't do (as required by 
the EEOC), for instance nealing, sliding running, the steps onto the parade 
floats (didn't offer assistance). Far worse was the fact that they were proud 
of the fact that they hire character performers who have never done puppetry, 
with a ten minute workshop with ping pong balls on the hand. Also stated that 
all hirees must work in food or ticket service for an undetermined period of 
time. I'm certainly aware the puppetry is a grueling profession, but this is 
unreal. They also said they rarely have rehearsals!
