Remember, you aren’t a Disney performer you are a cutie in a Suit having a good time—these tips help you stay safe and "on brand" while sharing joy and showing the heart of our community!
🐾 Suit Housekeeping & Gear
- • Hydrate or Diedrate: Drink water before and after! Use a straw for mid-suit sips.
- • Under Armor (Heat Gear): Using Heat Gear keeps you cool and stops your suit from getting as sweaty. It's a lifesaver!
- • Look Your Best: Brush your suit so you look sharp. Use fursuit spray to stay fresh.
- • Comfort First: Only suit as long as you feel good. If you're hot, take a break!
- • Friendly Gear: Stick to a collar with a name tag. Avoid muzzles or harnesses, as they can look intimidating.
✨ Don't "Ruin the Magic"
(I know, I know—it's a meme, but it matters!)
Keep the Head On
Try not to "ruin the magic" in public. Find a quiet "nap spot" out of sight to de-suit.
No Skin Showing
Use Under Armor or buffs to hide neck and wrists. Keeps the "cartoon" look solid.
Silent Doggo
Avoid barking or sniffing. Use head-tilts, ear-flops, and waves to talk with your body.
🎾 Interacting Like a Pro
The Golden Rule: Let them come to you!
The Happy Tail
Use your hips to get a good wag going! It's the universal "I'm friendly" sign.
Get Low
Always crouch on one knee for kids so you aren't scary.
Kill 'em with Kindness
If someone is rude, just give a friendly wave and move on.
😇 Professional Boundaries
To the public, you are a cartoon. Avoid anything sexual or "adult."
- ! No Adult Gestures: No pelvic movements or suggestive poses. Keep it G-rated.
- ! Safe Hugs: Let the guest start the hug. Stick to "side-hugs" to respect personal space.
