Character Interaction Stories

[allie_to_you]

Most everyone loves seeing the Characters at Disney and I'm sure lots of you have taken adorable pictures of your kids or gotten family pictures with the characters. Does anyone have any funny or cute stories about when you or your kids met some characters; or any other stories (embarrassing ones, or ones about rude guests) with the characters too.

Me and DH went to epcot and went in to get our pics taken for the free 5x7 with a disney visa. The characters were Goofey and Minnie. Well we had our pics taken and went to leave and Goofey grabed me by the arm and wouldn't let me go, so Minnie grabed DH by the arm as well it was so cute of them to interact with adult only, I loved it and it made my day.

Well with me I had a fun time with Minnie Mouse,Mad Hatter,Alice and Cinderella in three differnt times. With Minnie I was getting my picture taken with Princess Minnie she want me to give her a huge so I did but when we were getting ready to take are second picture she turns around and gives me a kiss. And another time with Minnie which was not to long ago. I had on my new Mad Hatter hat on that I just got. Now I had it the way he puts it on. Minnie didn't like the way I had put it on and told her cast memeber to tell me to turn it around so I did. The next month when I went to Disneyland I when to see the Mad Hatter with my Mad Hatter hat on. He told me that I had it on wrong and he took it off of me and put it on the right way. I told him that both my mom and Minnie told me the way I had it on the frist time which was Mad Hatter's way was wrong. He told me "Never listen to what Minnie and your Mom say they are always wrong." I laugh at that. and at the same day when I got my hat and when to Minnie I when to see the Parade of Dreams and I was video taping it. Alice and Mad Hatter's float came by. Mad Hatter was doing his lines and he saw me and said to Alice No room no room exsept that person over there. Which he was pointing at me. Alice goes were and Mad Hatter pointed and Alice said to me and Mad Hatter. He's an imposter Hatter goes I know what is a imposter. Now with Cinderella she call me her Prince Charming as I was getting ready to get my winter picture of the winter Cinderella.

A few years ago, we were on Mickey Avenue at the Studios and we saw Chip and Dale, who were my Mother's favorites right after Dopey. Mom was in her wheelchair, minding her own business and laughing at Chip and Dale interacting with kids.

One of them noticed her shirt, which just happened to have a large picture of Chip and Dale on it. They came over to my Mother, and Chip sat on one wheelchair arm and Dale sat on the other. They then proceeded to play "squeeze the lemon" with Mom as the lemon.

It was definitely one of our most memorable character encounters!!

Another funny thing happened at Sea World with O.P.Otter. We were at Dolphin Cove, when all of a sudden, O.P. "hijacked" Mom's wheelchair. He proceeded to wheel her to other guests and, with hand gestures, introduce her to them. He also tried to give her to another family. Mom was laughing so much she had tears streaming down her face. At one point, we heard his Sea World escort tell him "Now O.P. you just can't take a person from one family and give her to another!!"

ive got a few crazy ones... when i go to disney with my family, my sister doesn't like waiting in line for the characters (even though she's younger than me. lol), but i do. so i'll go off on my own to see them. in the toontown hall of fame area i went to the minnie room. i was the last person let in for that gorup because i was a single person. so after me minnie and donald went on their breaks. so goofy and i were alone with the photographer and i think a character person, (not sure about that person though) anyways, after i took a picture with goofy, goofy got down on one knee and took my hand. the photographer was laughing. i was like omg, what is going on here... (btw, i said no to him.) but now when i look back i find it cute and funny. it must have looked funny to see a 6 foot goofy proposing to a 5 foot 16 year-old. lol

We always see characters even if it is just to get a hug. Unfortunately, with Goofy, those hugs always turn into an "incident" as my daughter's hair gets caught on his buttons. It has happened several times. I always wonder if we are getting a "same" Goofy who remembers this occurance. Goofy always stays in character and plays along but sometimes he seems to get a bit nervous.

This past October I was in WDW with my mother and sister. One of my favorite restaurants at WDW is Askerhaus in Norway although neither my sister or mother will eat there with me. I found out just before we were going that Askerhaus is now a princess character meal all day. I was disappointed a bit because at the time I was more interested in the food and waitresses at Askerhaus then any of the princesses. Well, that changed as soon as the princesses saw a single guy sitting alone at a table. I think it may have turned into a contest to see who could flirt with me the most. Alice won. Although Alice had an advantage going in. In 2000 my sister and I took a backstage tour and got to see the dressing and makeup area. There I saw two of the most beautifull girls I've ever seen, both dressed as Alice. This Alice at dinner figured out fairly quickly that she had me wrapped around her little finger. When she came over to my table she came up behind me and said "Now this isn't right". She then went over to where the other chair would have been, knelt down and said "I'm supposed to be sitting here having dessert with you aren't I?" I took pictures of the other princesses (They were literally the best and prettiest I had ever seen at WDW) but Alice was the only one I got my picture taken with.

This past Friday we were at the Character Connection in Epcot. Since my son is in a wheel chair they took us down the ramp instead of the stairs. The characters there were Mickey and Minnie, Pluto, then Chip n Dale. They took us to the middle to see Pluto first. I thought they were just going to send us around as the other's came available, but while we were visiting with Pluto, out of the corner of my eye here come Chip n Dale to play with our son also, and soon enough here come Mickey and Minnie. We were surrounded. One of the CMs took the video camera from my wife and sent her into the mix with us. We were in tears they were kissing him, touching him, playing with him and we got some great photos between the CM using our video camera, one using our camera, and the photopass photographer. One of many wonderful experiences this past week.
