Before the fireworks, Tinkerbell herself would fly from the top tower of Cinderella’s Castle on a wire. It’s long been rumored that Tinkerbell is actually a man. While it’s impossible to prove this, one fun fact is that Tinkerbell very well could be played by a man. There are no gender requirements, only that Tinkerbell must be petite and fit a very specific height and weight requirement. They’re paid a massive amount of money just because it’s hard to find people of the right body type to play her.
