Father: Costumed 'Tigger' Hit My SonBy Associated Press Sun Jan 7, 8:01 PM The video... www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeXbId2P6YcORLANDO, Fla. - A Walt Disney World employee dressed as the character "Tigger" was accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo, a spokeswoman for the theme park said Saturday. Park officials temporarily suspended Michael J. Fedelem while they investigate the accusations, Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said. "Naturally, physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated," Suarez said. Jerry Monaco of New Hampshire videotaped his son, Jerry Jr., posing with the costumed character at Disney-MGM Studios on Friday and recorded the confrontation, according to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The father said Fedelem intentionally hit his son "on or about the head," said sheriff's spokesman Carlos M. Padilla. "The tape only shows a fraction of what happened. Now it's up to us to find out what led up to that." A message left by The Associated Press for Monaco was not immediately returned. A telephone listing for Fedelem could not be located. In 2004 a Walt Disney World employee dressed as Tigger was accused of touching the breast of a 13-year-old girl while she posed with him for a photo. A jury found the man not guilty.

It looked like the guy was trying to turn around? Hardly a punch. Looks like some jerks looking for easy money. I hope they get gored by bambi.

Looked like playing to me. But did look as though tigger was pushing the kids left arm free from him. Was the kid patting tigger on the rear thinking it was probably a girl. Never been there but all costumed characters like that that I have seen do not talk. You would hate to have Donald Duck speaking in the voice of a young lady. Course any easily understandable would be and improvement for Donald.

Guys, I cant comment too much on this as I have a law suit of my own against Disney. You will notice in this picture that Donald doesn't have his hands...uh wings.. uh whatever in front. He is pinching my wife and my backsides. I would show you picture of the bruise, but this is a family site. When I own Disney World all Hunting Indiana members will get in free as a member benefit.  |

LOL, that is great! And the picture is really cute!  It might be dangerous if you owned Disney World...you'd never get me out of Epcot!! After seeing the video a couple weeks ago it's very apparent to me that the kid was joking around with Tigger, and Tigger was just trying to do his job and joke back with him, which he did. I'm certain that no one got hurt in the incident...the things some people will do for a few bucks amazes me! I kind of feel bad for the guy in the Tigger costume for having to put up with all of this... |

I have not been there, Disney Land, or Epcot. Those places just do not interest me. Six Flags, nope. Now Stone Mountian and the Confederate memorial in Atlanta, been there twice. The lazer light show is tremendous. Cival war battle fields, Cades Cove in Tenn. old homesteads, log cabins, love that stuff. Amusement parks not interested.

I absolutely can't stand any Six Flags (I detest rollercoasters and all the stupid "thrill rides"), and I love Epcot and the Magic Kingdom...just a completely different concept and design! Most of our family vacations were to places like civil war battle fields though; it's great to say that you were able to see those places as a kid. |
