My wife and I have a bet you have to settle, We have been coming to WDW for many yeas and love the place. We like to meet and greet a lot. We have taled about the DIFFERENT cast member we see, SO the bet is How many cast members “kwow” Tinker bell.
I say 7 she say 4
Please let us know
I’m having trouble trying to figure out what you are asking about. THere are a couple of words that are misspelled…I think…plus its not clear what you really want to know.
can you reword your question with a bit more background?
I presume he means “know” Tinkerbell (or the lady portraying her at Walt Disney World) in a Biblical sense, i.e. in much cruder terms, is she getting laid by any other cast members.
That said, I have absolutely no idea why the poster would think we on the SDMB, albeit an intelligent and well-educated group in the main, would have the slightest inkling as to the sexual proclivities of young people in a Florida amusement park…
It is a puzzlement…

I seriously doubt that anyone is going to be able to answer this factually.
Moving thread from GQ to IMHO.
Maybe he means that. Maybe he means “How many different individual cast members have portrayed the character Tinkerbell over the years?” Maybe he means “How many other characters at WDW know Tinkerbell in the Kevin Bacon sense of having interacted in some movie or show?” Maybe he means something completely different.
I even looked up “kwow” on Urban Dictionary in case that was a thing.
I think it should be How many cast members “kowtow” to Tinker bell.
Answer: All of them, she’s pretty powerful with that magic wand.
Tinkerbell was the tinker to the fairy community, a mender of pots and pans … ergo, all the fairy characters would have knowledge of Tinkerbell … and have perhaps employed her mending services in the past … so just count up all the folks dressed up as fairies and you’ll have your factually correct answer …
According to my sources, 6 people “know” Tinkerbell, 3 people “know” her sister Periwinkle, and of those 3, 2 “know” both Tinkerbell and Periwinkle, and 1 of those “know” Tinkerbell and Periwinkle at the same time!
… [wolfish grin] …
Cast members who play characters (fur and face) are not allowed to admit that that’s what they do. So when someone asks, they’ll say they “know” the character or are “friends of” the character. The OP is asking how many different cast members are currently playing Tinkerbell in the park (because obviously there has to be more than one in any given park, plus the other parks).
Arrendajo’s response is actually feasible- there are six women playing Tinkerbell and three playing Periwinkle; two of the three also play Tinkerbell… I just can’t figure out the last bit, since playing two characters at the same time is a physical impossibility.
I’m not sure if some of us are being willfully obtuse, but “I know Tinkerbell” and “I’m friends with Tinkerbell” are used in Disney to mean “I am one of the actresses who plays Tinkerbell.”
There was an ask a Disney worker thread a while back that discussed this, but dang if I can easily find it now. The phrasing is common across the web, e.g. On one other board someone asked if as a black female she could play the Mad Hatter and someone patiently responded something like, “Sorry, all of the Mad Hatter’s friends are white guys.”
ETA: Damn. bobkitty must be friends with a ninja.

Not that hard to find. The OP posted in it, too.

Tinkerbell?
Tinkerbell is a HS aged/sized gymnast who gets dressed in her light-up costume and harness above “Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe” just after sunset.
Then, at the appropriate time, She is sent hurtling towards the Magic Kingdom Castle on an impossibly thin wire while she prays to whatever deity will listen that:
The inspector did his job, that no one cheaped out on materials.
That she is moving fast enough not to stop and possibly snap the wire.
That she isn’t moving too fast so that she smashes face-first into the castle stone wall.
That she is holding her form and smiling so she isn’t fired.
And Above All… that she Isn’t Going To Die that night.
I believe.
I believe.
I believe.
I believe that you are quite grateful to be alive, my dear…

I thought “kwow” was a kast member on the hit show Kersey Shore.
But maybe I’m kwrong.
‘kwow’ is like a more extreme version of ‘wow’. You know, like ‘kaboom’.
//got nuthin.
Yaka-wow!
