3 Disney Performer Secrets Ariel Would Never Tell

3 Disney Performer Secrets Ariel Would Never Tell You.

First, there's the Disney character integrity rule. Once a performer puts on the Ariel costume, she forgets herself entirely. She walks like Ariel, talks like Ariel, and if a child asks her name, she’ll never say her real one. She’ll simply say, “I’m Ariel, daughter of King Triton.” Because from that moment on, she is the mermaid who lost her voice and fell in love with a prince.

Second, at Disneyland, each princess has a custom makeup style that matches her character. Every princess has her own color palette. For example, Belle wears a more natural look, while Ariel gets a brighter, more shimmering makeup. Just as important as the makeup is their posture and hand gestures. Every movement is graceful and delicate even the way they walk feels like they’re gliding. Their hair is styled with special formulas to stay perfectly in place, because princesses must look exactly like the dreams children imagine.

Finally, one of Disney’s best kept secrets: every character has a signature scent. Ariel smells like a sea breeze. Belle smells like roses. Cinderella smells like a fresh spring morning. Disney even creates custom perfumes for the princesses, because scent is the invisible costume.

At Disneyland, every little detail is designed to make a child's imagination feel real.
