Character Attendant - First Hand Account
"Character Attendant Overview: getting to hang out and facilitate meet and greets all day! It's a really hands on magical role, where you get to see magic up close. Some responsibilities include making sure characters stay safe in certain situations, as well as easing Guest concerns regarding a character leaving for the day!
Your best friends become the performer and the photopass photographer, and there will always be a captain or manager nearby if you need any assistance! This role offers lots of variety! You will be based in a specific park, but you will be scheduled with all sorts of different characters all over the park, with the option to trade and work at other parks with other characters! To be successful in this role, you need to be highly self motivated and responsible and good at working alone or in small groups, since you will probably be the only attendant with one or more characters!"
