One of the most special parts about Disney is getting to have a little one-on-one time with the characters from your favorite Disney movies.
There are several spots throughout the parks where Disney characters are camped out throughout the day. If you're lucky, you can catch them with a short line, but sometimes you will have to wait a few minutes to visit with them. When your turn comes, you can take your own pictures, or there will be a Disney cast member who can take them for you.
If you are traveling with a child between the ages of 3 and 9 (or if you are a kid at heart), come armed with an autograph book. (You can purchase these online before you go or grab on at your hotel gift shop when you check in.) Most of the Disney autograph books have a photo holder and a blank page where the characters can sign. When you get home and get the pictures in, you'll have a great souvenir to remember your trip by!
Character Tips:
Don't forget a Sharpie or other large pen - some of the characters have gloves and struggle with smaller writing utensils.
Write your name and cell phone number in your autograph book. If it is turned into a cast member, they will call you and tell you where to pick it up.
Be sure to prepare s
mall children before you encounter characters. I told my daughter that Mickey and Pooh weren't small like they are on TV - they were big like Daddy. That way, she wasn't overwhelmed when she saw them. There will always be a few characters (particularly the "Evils") that make kids cringe - hold their hand or carry them for these pictures (or skip them all-together).
