I would argue that, when it comes to Disney, Universal and WB, people, at least some people, go for the express purpose of meeting the dressed-up staff…
As an adult, I find that quite odd, and it’s partly why I found Universal Studios a bit disappointing (the rides sucked, lol), but clearly some people go for expressly that reason, especially families with children, as here…
In that same Universal Experience, if the Lucille Ball impersonator that came up to us while we were having lunch was a drag queen, I would definitely have freaked the fuck out, lol…
If it's a full body costume like Mickey or any similar character then that can certainly bring up the question at times but only so much. A 6' 5" dude as Goofy will be fairly obvious vs a 5' shortstack as Minnie. It wouldn't surprise me if those costumes are all only one size for production issues so only certain people would get put in them anyway.
The issue becomes greater when it's simply someone dressed up but still showing their face like Gaston and whoever else works like that. The article mentions the "Evil Queen" so if it's the one from Sleeping Beauty then that could be either option while some others are far more likely to be whole body costumes like the later appearances of the similar character from Snow White when she turns into a crone.
Why. The fuck. Are you thinking about such things at all regarding theme park staff? They're the staff, not the attractions.
