    Robynchic: Internationals normally can't be characters you are right, but Winnie is on the International College Program, what's why !

    Thanks for that info. I wasn't sure!

    There are different height ranges and restrictions. If you don't fit into a costume correctly or there is something about it that threatens your health (like the White Rabbit neck ruff sometimes chokes people) then you get disapproved in it, meaning you can't do it at all

    They're Americans, trained to speak with an accent. If you talk to any of them when they're on set, you might be able to tell.

    Hee hee hee! So true. ;D

    There were about 4 or 5 "special friends" of Mary's while I was in UK merch. We had a name for each one. i.e. there was stroppy Poppins, old Poppins, oooh and common Poppins. She was well funny. Sounded more like Dick Van Dyke than Julie Andrews! Who knew Mary was Cockney! Lol.

    Alice is just scary! I only saw her twice in the UK. Freaky as. :eek: Other than that, in the UK we get visits from Pooh, tigger, eeyore and piglet. Bert appeared once, as did a random penguin from mary poppins! Twas all very odd. ;D
