I have done extensive work in full body costumes. It is NOT fun when a kid decides to attack.
Your vision is extremely limited. You have to really guess on how to protect yourself. I was in a 12 foot tall full body marioinette and some kid tried to tip me over. On a full dance floor. I had to see the doctor a couple of times from the twist in my back fighting the potentially damaging fall. Luckily, I didn't crash.
I don't know how it is at Disney, but I never worked without a "walker" or "spotter" for that very reason.
