The one time that I saw Mickey walking around backstage at Disney World without its head, the person in the costume was female.
So... how badly do you want the job?

Q: When you get your photo with Mickey does the guy in the costume smile?
A: What guy?
I know a woman that worked as a character at Disney World, for a year or so sometime before 2010 as an intern. She said it was basically slave labor.
She said that they could be Mickey one day, Minnie the next, Buzz Lightyear the following day. Sometimes in a day you could be multiple characters, but usually, just one a day. She also said costumes were hot as crap and sometimes in the summer it was just difficult to breathe in them. No, she did not smile.
