If you've ever met a human who works as a Walt Disney World character performer,?? ?????? ?????? ?????? you probably know that their trade secrets are, well, pretty secret -- they're not allowed to disclose their occupation while on park grounds, on social media or in a public forum.
Now, thanks to Ihaveanotheridentity's Reddit AMA, we have a pretty in-depth look into the world of being a performer at Disney World.
The Redditor claims to have played Goofy (among other characters) at Walt Disney World for over 20 years – which he backed up with a ton of photos. He answered questions about his pay rate, how hot the costumes were, furries and more.
And as Ihaveanotheridentity warned readers: "This post is not for those who wish to preserve the Disney Magic."

They returned to Disney after witnessing their mother violently die in a car crash, and he gave them a special VIP tour. The story is pretty long but definitely worth it – click here to read it.
And even though the OP had over 20 years of fun at WDW, it ultimately ended on poor terms when he was fired.
