The Disney Point--New Characters

Have you ever noticed, while vacationing in the Disney theme parks, the way the cast members point? Disney cast members are called upon to point out a lot of things for guests, and they are required to use a very specific method of pointing, employing two fingers instead of one. Not only is it easier for the visually-impaired to see, but pointing with a single finger is considered rude in some cultures. As visitors to Disney's theme parks come from everywhere in the world, pointing with two fingers instead of one eliminates some risk of offense.

We have some new Disney characters to add, as you can see by the pictures below. More...

Disney Role-Playing at Worlds of Disney

Disney heroes have faced fire-breathing dragons, cutthroat pirates, and poisoned apples, and emerged victorious. But now they are pitted against a different foe: real life!

An unknown enemy has hatched a new plot, casting a powerful spell on scores of heroes without their even knowing it, transporting them from the furthest reaches of space and from different times, bringing them together into a modern theme park, a world that is alien to them all.

The Merriest Place on Earth? Not for our heroes, who must learn to cope with tourists and each other, as well as the separation from all that is familiar. Whom can they trust? How will they eat? Will they ever return to their respective homes? More...
