Re: little me at pixie hollow :)

Not to exacerbate the differences issue between FL and CA or reopen any any wounds created by comparing which park is better than the other, etc., I have to say that DL tends to be much more successful at finding face characters that actually resemble the original Disney characters. Whether that has to do with the fact that CA has a larger pool of actors to choose from or that DL just happens to be more detail oriented (picky) in choosing their face characters I couldn't say although both of these would certainly be valid arguments.

I Think that WDW's Tink look better than DL's actor but that is just me. Neither women are ugly.

Also yes I am very tall Even after they made me very small in size so I could fit in Pixie Hollow, I noticed that I still looked tall compared to the Fairies

Re: little me at pixie hollow :)

Yep... the former would be the correct bet. LA is a town full of people trying to make money in a showbiz town. Orlando... isn't. So while WDW gets plenty of good folks by doing audition tours (I have never seen a tour for a Disneyland casting season) and by finding good local talent, it's generally a safe bet that the performers (singers & dancers especially) tend to be a bit higher caliber on the West coast. GENERALLY speaking. Plenty of exceptions to that rule.

she always talked people just ould not hear her. The only one in the Peter Pan movie that could hear her was Peter Pan.


There was a good article that atlked about this. Supposedly in the original books tinkerbell talked quite a bit, supposedly even had a bit of an atitude and not very clean dialogue.

The new movie has all the faries talking since they are in their world and people are basically observing.


The new meet and greets are supposedly made so that people have now been shrunk to the size of pixies, once you are shrunk and inside pixie hollow you are able to hear everything clearly.

At Disneyland while you walk thru the queue everything around you starts getting bigger and bigger. Also while in line the audio changes from small fariy noises to actual voices and giggles. They even created the illusion f being sprinkled with pixie dust by using surround sound in the queue.

It's not even the caliber of the people. It is the sheer volume. If you have 30 West coast people who can perform as Tink and you have 15 East coast people who can perform just as well, its a pretty good chance that you are going to get a person who matches up size and face structure wise better on the West coast, just because you have more to choose from.

Looks like they changed the costumes from the original publicity shots as well...
