Funny thing happened the other day while I was "Donald Duck's Minder" in the Walt Disney Studios, a guest offered me 500 euros to let Donald Duck ride on Crush's Coaster with his little daughter. Obviously, I politely told him he couldn't ride.

Only face characters are allowed to go on "selected" attractions, if the permission is obtained well in advance through Special Events and normally it is only with a child who is very ill.

Firstly, you have a great job.  :D

Secondly, I think its a good idea that Characters either Face or whatever should not be on rides constantly, if it became well known about characters on rides guests would be requesting it too much etc.

Thirdly, Crush's Coaster is a fairly dark ride, both in the dark ride part and the coaster part, his daughter wouldn't really be experiencing the ride much.
