We told our kiddos this also... ;-)

I'm 50-mumble, and in my brain I know the characters are people in costume - in my heart, though, they're very, very real.

Tigger is DH's favorite character--the only convincing I need is to see my 48 year old, 5'8, 260#, firefighting DH gush when Tigger hugs him at the Crystal Palace. He sports his Tigger shirt there and back home. I mean Tigger's twin is at DL, but Tigger also lives at WDW...it is the only place where you can see them...that makes them the real deal.

It is like there is only one Cinderella Castle and it is at WDW...it is the real one because that is the only one there is....

If Tigger were to hug you off property--you can always know it is NOT THE REAL TIGGER.

I like my logic...

Last year at CP having dinner with DH, DD 6 and DS 4, it was hysterical and I had to try my best not to crack. Tigger and Pooh walk by our table and I swear it was like a light bulb went off in DS's head. He says "I figured it out!" and this was spoken with great conviction, and DH and I are asked him what did you figure out?" He replies "pooh is either a robot or a guy in a suit! I see his zipper!" (keep in mind how crowded the restaurant is) I am trying not to laugh because he is 4 and very very observant, and I finally said "Aidan, look how big pooh's head is! He must have a zipper or buttons to be able to take his shirt on and off as he would never be able to pull it over that big head of his." Aidan thought it over for a second and says "let me guess mom, tigger zips his shirt up for him!"

I actually had to tell my son that they were people dressed up in costumes. He was afraid if the characters and refused to be near them because he thought they were real. What scared him was that their heads are so large. Now that he knows they are not real he's wiling to take a picture with them.

Santa lives on because he's still magical and far away. The ones at the mall are just his older helper elves filling in for him.

My son is 5.5. I had to tell him the costume story because I finally wanted some cute pics of him with the characters.
