For them, they use the term 'typecasting' to indicate look-alike-ness for that-specific-character will be considered in the hiring process. This avoids anti-discrimination laws.

Personally I actually really enjoyed my time at this event last year. I just wonder if there will be different characters or what the offerings will be. I remember the pork belly they had being one of the best park foods I've ever eaten world wide. The duffy brownie was also a fantastic addition last year. Will be interesting to see what they come up with to justify a ticket or not. Personally my favorite Disney party is Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, but Jollywood night character greetings definitely make it my 2nd favorite.

I just think it's interesting that they use that language for some of the jobs but not for the princesses. Not that I think this would ever end up happening:

That's been used in their help wanted for years. It would be really odd if suddenly that was a problem.

That begs the question about all face character roles..

Tiana and Belle have no such requirement!?

Nah, this is one area where Disney customer service excels. I’ve never heard of anyone being SOL when they can’t make a party. The worst they will do is a credit, and depending on the circumstances, refunds are not unheard of.

Fido ChuckwagonDec 01, 2024

They will almost certainly give you a credit towards future purchase.

Wes TackerDec 01, 2024

If you don’t use the tickets you’ll have a credit in your account that can be used for any future special event tickets. This is standard.

NunuDec 01, 2024

I know of people in your situation who've gotten a refund or credit. In my experience with dealing with Guest Relations, asking nicely can go a long way. Good luck!

𝐌𝖆𝖓 𝖎𝖓 𝐖𝖊𝖇Dec 01, 2024

Plead your case. But you're likely SOL. Most situations do not permit a refund, credit or transfer. Sorry.

SJN1279Dec 01, 2024

I bought tickets for Dec 21, but I don't think I will be able to make it to florida. Am I able to get a credit, or is it a total loss?
