Theme Park Characters/Atmosphere Characters

These are the most common types of characters in the Disney theme parks; dressed in a mascot-style costume with oversized hands, heads (with limited peripheral vision) and feet. A host or two often accompany them as their personal bodyguards in a U.S. Secret Service agent manner to help guide them around the park and protect them from unruly behavior like other real life celebrities would use.
Unlike the face characters, most of them cannot speak (originally they could, but the restriction occurred in the 1960s, due to the fact that, as former cast member Paul Castle stated, kids would often call the characters' bluffs since many cast members could not get the voices right, especially Mickey's falsetto; on one occasion, a cast member came out on stage as Goofy, but accidentally used his Big Bad Wolf voice). The reason for no talking while in costume is because the characters already have iconic and easily recognizable voices and, unless certain exceptions are put in place, imitation is an absolute no-no. Any performer that is caught talking whilst in costume is immediately terminated from the Disney corporation. There are a few exceptions to this where fur characters, such as Minnie Mouse, can make a kissing sound, or for Pluto, Stitch, Bolt, or Dug, can make slurping noises when licking guests, as for Goofy, he can make a sort of flatulent sound when being hugged.
Some characters might likely go on rides and attractions with guests even when they’re not busy with doing their usual meet and greets and especially at times for advertising or special occasions.
Some characters like Minnie can do sign language, but all of them can just perform body gestures. (Even the character training videos from 1978 point this out.) But a breakthrough occurred in 2011 when Mickey Mouse was able to speak to guests at the 2011 D23 Expo. For characters that, as an example, use droid language (like R2-D2 and BB-8), their character attendant acts as their translator. For characters (such as the Jawas) that normally speak an incomprehensible language (such as Jawaese) in their films or television shows, they are encouraged to instead use gestures and actions as a form of speech.
These types of characters are also often referred to as "Fur Characters", regardless of whether or not the costumes have fur.
