I think the difference is that with movies, they are playing one specific character. One time. Disneyland is a job, not a movie. They play a character of sorts, but are still themselves at the same time. I wasn't even aware that the tour guides ever were attractive. Regardless, if they start only hiring attractive people, there will be just as many skinny people discriminated against. I've seen plenty of sticks that still weren't pretty.

It's not so much the "fill a role" opinion that I take issue with though. It's the "hide the fat people" message that seems to be in a few of these posts. I'm sure the posters didn't intend offense, but they sort of come across as a bit degrading in a "nobody really wants to see fat people in public and certainly not as a cast member" kind of way. That can be hurtful because maybe some of us already feel that way about ourselves.
