The Challenges of Working as a Theme Park Fuzzy

Working as a character performer in a theme park, or a 'fuzzy,' is not as magical as it seems. Many fuzzies face difficult working conditions, including humiliation, bad treatment, and physical abuse. Podcast guests share their experiences, including getting lost for hours in costume, enduring extremely hot and uncomfortable outfits, dealing with inappropriate guest behavior, and even facing injuries that resulted in permanent disabilities. Despite the challenges, some fuzzies still appreciate the opportunity to bring joy to visitors' lives and bond with their fellow cast members.
