I know the pre-50th Tink was definitely female. I am not sure if this is rumour or fact, but I have heard that it was the same woman for a very long time - she did it up until her 60's or 70's.

According to a Tink stalker I know, the current flying Tink wears a huge mask that is actually really ugly up close.

It's plainly visible when viewing the fireworks from behind the castle, near Dumbo. Or when you're lucky enough to be on the Matterhorn and pop out of the mountain right below her escape hatch as she begins her descent.

The first Tinkerbell was Tiny Kline - a former circus acrobat. She first flew in 1961 at age 70 (I believe - no time to check facts). Kline means small in German, so her name is "tiny tiny". Tinkerbell has never been played by a man - contrary to popular myth.

Since the installation of the new wires, Tink has worn an oversized rubber head. I think it is because she spends so long "on-stage" and dips a lot closer to the ground than her previous flight path.

I'm pretty sure that some of the current Tinkerbells are male from their body shape and whatnot when people take telephoto lens shots of em.
