    Cast members are taught to use the “Disney point” when giving directions; the “Disney point” involves the entire palm or two fingers - never a single finger, which is considered rude!

    2004, Rocco M. Angelo, Andrew Vladimir, Hospitality Today: An Introduction, Educational Institute of American Hotel & Motel Association

    Don't point with your index finger, either: use “the Disney point,” a reassuring two-fingered gesture (index plus middle finger, if you're wondering).
