(#8) If you play a character, you have to eat, sleep, and breathe that character
Costumed cast members have to invest heavily in their characters and are expected to be able to mimic the voice, personality, and autograph of their character.
There are a lot of people that play Mickey, and they all have to play Mickey the same way. Because there's only one Mickey, right?

(#10) Disney Employees Kinda Have Their Own Language
In order to keep the show running smoothly, cast members have a variety of code words to keep guests in the moment and unaware of the backstage activities.
For instance, creating acronyms for parades so that they can talk about MiSiCi (Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!) without spoiling a surprise for guests or referring to vomit as "Code V" or "Protein Spill" so that no one is put off their lunch.

(#4) There’s A Disney University
Every cast member has to attend a course called Traditions at Disney University. They learn the history of Disney, the parks, the role they play in the show, and about preserving the magic.
It should also be noted that some hospitality and management students can receive college credit while working at Disney World and take extra courses at Disney University.

(#1) There Are No Sad Kids At Disney
It’s not great publicity to have kids crying in the parks, but sometimes, children cry. They might drop their Dole Whip on their T-shirt, they might trip and bang their knee, they might do a lot of things that can cause tears.
For this reason, any Disney World employee can invoke the No Sad Kids rule to make a child smile. This could be something as simple as giving them a replacement ice cream or they could provide a Doc McStuffins toy to kiss the boo-boo better that the child can then keep. -
(#9) They Know - They Always Know
Whether it’s the timing of a parade, directions to the nearest bathroom, or some obscure Disney trivia, cast members are always expected to know. If they don’t have the answer, they have to get another cast member who does. They aren’t allowed to tell a guest that they don’t know.
On a slightly different note, there are people in the control rooms when you're on a ride or in a show who, for safety reasons, watch guests through night vision cameras.

(#5) It’s A Small World, After All
The Disney Universe is very insular and their characters don’t know about anything outside of Disney. Belle hasn’t read Harry Potter and Cinderella hasn’t worn Jimmy Choos. Cast members playing the characters are expected to "preserve the magical atmosphere," so if you ask them, they’ll say they "haven’t heard of it."
Sometimes, it’s fun when guests test our commitment by asking about NASCAR or Beyonce.
