DUDE i've been waching disney videos for DAYS now and your cast member au is just gonna get me sucked in again!!!! HOWEVER can you pls elaborate on virgil being in costuming i'm so curious about what he would get up to - pattonpattoff (tumblr won't let me send asks from my sideblog :(
i’ll @pattonpattoff just to make sure u don’t miss the answer!!i’m glad you’ve been disney binging hehe!! i miss it so much rn :/
so!! costuming!! basically, work uniforms at disney are called costumes because we’re all part of a show. and somebody has to make sure those clothes stay clean and presentable! they also help cast members find the pieces they’re looking for, make sure no one’s gone over the limit on checking things out, etc etc. it’s a backstage role (ie: not in front of guests) which is why i think virgil would prefer it because the less people interaction the better lol. obviously, this means they interact however with cast members from every department! so this is a really easy way (for me lol) for virgil to meet all the others!
entertainment costuming is, from what i understand, a pretty different ballpark. as well as making sure everything looks perfect, they also help the CMs into their costumes (i mean, it can’t be easy working a fur character shift, and having one paw on and trying to get the other on by yourself, right?). i don’t know if entertainment costuming is something a costuming cast member can cross-train to or if it’s a separate department/part of entertainment.
so yeah, virgil in costuming! i lowkey like the idea of him and roman meeting for the first time because roman dinged and has to explain why he has so many extra pieces checked out and “you need to return these before we freeze your account.” cue roman’s pout and trying to charm his way out of it. that doesn’t go over very well, of course lol
