My favorite interaction with a character was with Chip and Dale at the Garden Grill in The Land Pavilion. When I was younger my dad would draw Disney characters into my autograph book and that was their designated page to write on. When we met Chip and Dale in the restaurant and the saw the drawings they had to give it a try! Throughout the night the two of them had a drawing contest in my book! They came back to my table multiple times to draw themselves, peanuts, and even gave their hand at Mickey. It was such a blast! And if you were wondering, Dale was a much better artist!

Peter Pan is another great character interaction for all ages (even when Wendy is with him), because he is spunky and kiddish, same with Alice and The Mad Hatter. Anyone who can make me laugh and feel like a 7 year old again is amazing to meet with in my book.

We ran into Capt Hook at the character breakfast at Crystal Palace. He posed for pictures with us with his hook across our necks like he was going to cut them. At a neighboring table, where a young couple was sitting, as soon as the guy got up to the buffet, Hook took his seat and flirted with the girl. What a rapport when the guy came back.

Another fun interaction can be had when Daisy gets together with Mickey and Minnie. At PCH Grill at Disneyland, whenever Minnie turned her back Daisy flirted shamelessly with Mickey, until Minnie caught her.

My number one character stop is Pluto. I have a bag covered in Pluto pins, usually have a Pluto shirt on, and often wear my Pluto cap or ears. Pluto often spies me from afar and leaves his own line to greet me instead of the other way around.

Mind you, looking like Pluto has its drawbacks. Mickey sometimes gives me bones or makes me fetch. And Cruella once said “Pluuuuuto. You don’t like him, do you? I wouldn’t make a scarf out of Pluto.”

I would agree that meeting Hook is one of the best interactions! We met him at Disneyland when my son was 9 months old and he spent at least 15 minutes with us. We had personal fans and Hook took it and blew it towards himself and at Riley and played so much with the baby. It turned out to be the high of our trip. Now my son is 4 and LOVES Peter Pan! We are going to WDW in December…Can anyone tell me how to find Peter Pan and Hook?

Even though I am in my mid-20s I still love meeting characters. I do not know if I have a favorite for interactions, but Goofy is always lots of fun.

Recently I had the opportunity to attend the last day of Star Wars Weekends and had great fun interacting with the Sand People that were meandering about.

My all time favorite characters to meet are Jasmine/Aladdin/Genie.
It all started a few years back, my niece (6 at the time) had her Jasmine costume on and was all set to meet the princess. We waited around Morocco, hoping to see her. When the time finally came we were second in line and out come the characters, unfortunately it was Genie and Aladdin. My niece was heartbroken. We were told that day Jasmine had to be in the parade so she couldn’t make it.
This was in the indoor section of Morocco. It was our turn and apparently the cast member had told Aladdin that my niece was sad and they played it off marvelously. As soon as he saw her he gave her a big hug and acted as if she was princess Jasmine. Him and Genie took her on a “magic carpet ride” and posed for many pictures. It was so special for her and now whenever we visit they are the first characters she wants to find.
When we walked away that day she whispered to me, “They actually thought I was Jasmine, so silly!”

I loved that the photographers and characters were so happy to help me get fantastic photos.
I was with Chip and Dale, I asked them to link arms with me and put their right foot forward. There we were looking like a small chorus line. Great photo.
I also asked Aladdin and Jasmine for a special pose. I have the photo I wanted. Me holding Jasmins hand looking into her eyes,and Aladdin standing behind me not looking impressed.
So much fun and great memories.

I could go on all day with my character interaction stories but I’m limiting myself to 2. Both in involve Ariel (in Human form)

I was waiting in line to meet Ariel and Eric over in Adventurland and there was a little boy (7 or 8 if I had to guess) in front of me. Ariel was about to take him by the arm for a picture. The little boy looked over at Eric and asked his permission first. Even the Photopass photographer had trouble holding back a giggle at the cuteness.

My other story is from my Breakfast experience at Cinderella’s Royal Table. Ariel was one of the princesses there and as she stopped by my table she stopped a pin on my lanyard of herself in mermaid form with jewels embedded in her tail. When Ariel saw it her eyes got as wide as half dollars as she expressed her love for the pin. The look on her face was priceless and that is my favorite pin in my collection. I wouldn’t part with it for any reason now.
