Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, arrested outside Disneyland!

OMGosh!

wow that something i thought id never see haha

w/e their protesting for a good reason

It's no secret disney would rather have PT employees than FT. They don't cost as much. When you go to work for the mouse, it's not for the money, it's for the privalige to work at the happiest place on earth.

i thought they got arrested for indecent exposure....if you know what i mean

Arresting symbols of innocence in protest to human rights issues. A new low for the Aneheim police.

This is not always a funny matter. I am guessing that most of you have not worked in Disneyworld. It is a very large company and it is because of all you people that wanted to go there than left(The reason for rise in ticket sales). Also, in the florida park alone there is over 60,000 cast members(Disney's way of saying employees). Overall there is good benefits right now and if somebody is not making enough money there, than there is something called the extra hours hotline if you need extra pay. Although I do see where they cast members are coming from, from experience working in Disneyworld myself, it is hard labor and requires a lot of hours, but the people who work in sweatshops are immigrants sometimes. There is a lot of cultural diversity there. Any futher comments or questions I would be happy to answer below this one.

The protest seems completely ineffective unless they can actually shut down the park. It does seem unfair other local employees aren't getting paid more though, it's not like Disney can't afford it.

i wonder how Anaheim PD looked like after all these characters coming in and getting booked!

Tinker Bells a whore.

"The protesters were arrested on a misdemeanor count of failure to obey a police officer and two traffic infractions, said Sgt. Rick Martinez of the Anaheim police. They were cited and released, Sgt. Chris Schneider said."

Sad pathetic cops....

"Disney's latest proposal makes health care unaffordable for hundreds of employees and creates an unfair two-tier wage system. The union also says Disney wants to create a new category of part-time employees who would receive greatly reduced benefits."

""At the other hotels in the same classification, for the same work, the workers get paid $2 to $3 an hour more.""

Evil mouse.

4chan is gonna have a field day with this one.

Friggin hippies.

Never been to Disneyland, and after this I don't ever plan on going.

No one's even questioning the protesting in the first place. It's a sad thing. And they were protesting a serious issue! LABOR PRACTICES is an important issue! I wish people would overlook the irony of childhood characters getting arrested.

That not right O_O i mean it wow low as hell

they should send them to Georgia so they could protest something decent. They could shot them instead of the reporters!

Its a good thing they were just cited and released! peter pan would have got his ass kicked in jail for sure Ha Ha

Power to them. Someone has to do something, may as well be the heros of our childhood(ha), it is funny though..

don't mess with Tink.

F disneyland I dont think I will be visiting there anymore!

tinker bell should have used some of that fairy dust to get out of this..lol

I guess Tinkerbell's light when out since people didn't clap enough to prove they believed in "health care"

This is fantastic. Theme protest now innovative. It certainly makes me want to follow throughon their issue.

At least they didn't commit suicide in the parking lot... yet.

I love irony as much as the next guy, but that disturbing ritual of killing oneself under the "Happiest Place On Earth" sign is something I'll never get used to. It would be even worse if it was one of their employees in full costume.

What no more fairy magic

I was just about to say that I didn't see this happening yesterday, then I realized that I was at DisneyWORLD. lol

I wonder how Peter Pan would hold out in jail...:S

I knew i decided to slack off for a reason, and it is because of fine stories like this one, thanks Current friends....makes work bearable.

oh god i love people. more than anything.

I gotta call my nephew. He was up for the Prince Charming gig at Disneyworld. Looks like there's an opening in Anaheim.

Wow, not all is well in fairy land.
Kind of related to this story about a Jack Sparrow impersonator and his troubles with Disney

Clearly "Snow White" is just a street name and she and her gang of elves were pimpin' Cinderella and Tinkerbell out.

I guess we shall see...

But all kidding aside, wearing these costumes are like burning the flag to Disney Execs.

Maybe they should have had a costume bonfire...

You're right Peri, but I don't think people are going to look at like that. You have a point, but the unthinking majority won't see it like that. They don't have the perception to see the symbolism in their protest. Sadly, they'll (we'll) look at it as a joke . . .and nothing more.

I don't know Kynmore. Wearing those costumes are getting them in the headlines.

"If it Bleeds, it Leads."

or in this case,

"If there's Beads, it Leads."

Wearing the sacred Disneyland costumes and appearing as characters without their "heads" on slices up the sacred cows of Disney in the worst way.

I agree. I think they thought that if they were in costume it would get more attention . . .instead it garnered the wrong kind of attention.

The sad thing is, their protest and what it is about will be overlooked by the fact they were in costume.

I can't stop laughing at this . . .HA!

Oh my god! LOL! What is this world coming to!?!?!?

That's insane.
