I was worried when I did my CP that it would ruin some of the magic, but it really only made everything more magical for me. They took us to the Utilidors during Traditions but they warned us when we were getting close to the character areas in case we did not want to see the characters in their not completely magical state.

I worked at the Studios so most of my time spent backstage was there. Despite it being just backstage, there was still some magic back there too. I usually got to see Pluto, Minnie, Goofy and Chip and Dale on their way back from the Hollywood and Vine on my way to the shop where I worked. They were known to jump off their little golf cart and dance around with the cast members backstage - it was pretty neat and a great way to start your shift! I also once saw Mickey and Minnie skipping and holding hands backstage as they ended their cheese break and headed out to meet some more guests. That was super cute!
