I was wondering if anyone else "trains" their kids in the handling of character meets? I found it very helpful and boy do I have the pics to prove it!

About six months before we went, I started training my sons (then 4 years old) to kiss hands. WELL, when we got to WDW, not only did they kiss every princess' hand (which visibly charmed the princesses, let me tell you) but also ALL of the lady performers (acrobats, etc..) and a lot of the lady CMs. The later two groups were just awestruck, and I have so many pics of the boys with honorary princesses, like the hosts at Bomas.

And I'm not even going to mention the four young and beautiful chinese women they had following them around taking pictures of them because they called them "pretty like Mulan" and kissed them.

It really made for a special and neat time. Once they got used to it -- Pocahontas over at AK broke them in, and she was stunning -- nothing could stop them.
