Ok so what is your favorite character?
Also what is the most magical/fun random character you've met?

As for my my all time favorite is Peter Pan however I've only had the chance to meet him once!

Also a great character I've met is briar rabbit when I was in a wheelchair once he took me and wheeled me down main street my girlfriend at the time had to chase him down and make him give me back it was fun!
Then a year ago when I had a wheelchair/walker thing briar rabbit once again thought me out during a western show over in frontier land and they were doing the hockey pokey. He saw that I was a little scared to leave my mobility device and I noticed that his grip was gentle but strong enough to reassure me he wasn't gonna let me fall. So I got to participate in the street show and then he took me back and did some silly mischievous stuff honestly so much fun!*

Would love to hear back from other peoples stories I'm sure there was a thread before this but with characters never an end to stories!
 
Tinkerbell and Vidia took time to roll around on the floor with my son. All three just rolled around giggling. It was adorable.
 

I have always found Chip and Dale to be the best :goodvibes
 
Ben Franklin because it was just cool to meet Ben Franklin.

Alice who colored pictures with my kids while waiting for our ADR at 1900 Park Fare.

Minnie for making my (ex) husband give her a kiss. That was so not in his nature and made a great picture because he just went with it.

We had Mickey, Donald, and Goofy pretty much to ourselves at Animal Kingdom one afternoon. There was lots of posing for pictures and fun.

Mickey in his astronaut suit way way back in '88. That was when characters still roamed the parks and he was being crowded and my 2 year old couldn't get to him. Mickey noticed and approached him and hugged him. Viking Goofy was that trip, too.

Oh wow y'all are quite the character explorers so many great meets!:goodvibes
 
We had a great experience with the characters at our dinner at the Garden grill. They spent a lot of time at our table and even came back. Chip and Dale flirted with my oldest. It was so fun.

The absolute best was at a wedding on property. The bride's parents surprised everyone with an appearance by Mickey and Minnie. I was more excited then my oldest who was trying to be too cool for disney characters. Mickey and Minnie did the electric slide and other line dances with everyone and danced with the bride and groom. During one of the slow dances I look over and there is my DD slow dancing with Mickey!!!

Oh wow now that is truly a Disney magic moment so super happy you and your family got to experience that!!
 
At Disneyland, my sister and nieces got to ride in a teacup with Alice and the Mad Hatter. Pretty awesome!

Never have seen a character riding a ride in person but know that randomly they might
So awesome y'all got to experience definitely adds magic to the memories!
 
Rode the carousel with Lady Tremaine and then she lead the kids to the castle for pictures. She's hilarious. "Stand up straight. Smile. Fix your ear hats, your parents spent good money on those."

DD was coloring at the Moroccan passport station when Jasmine and Aladdin sat down and started coloring with her. She was in heaven! Jasmine is her favorite.

I'm hoping to meet the tremaines on my upcoming trip! during the parade a few years ago I remember they were a riot the stepsisters were yelling "why is NO ONE CLAPPING for me!" it was awesome I tried to yell that I loved them but don't think they heard me due to this rather larger lady pushing me and my wheelchair out of the way so she could get a picture of cinderellas float :(

When I told her she had shoved me asid wall she said was sorry but you were in the way my Kids asked me to take pictures for them.

Lady Tremaine and the Stepsisters were a blast! The kids didn't want to meet them so it was just me. They proceeded to give me tips on how to pretend it was my birthday so everyone would be nice to me and I'd get free cupcakes! LOL!

Gaston and my DD's friend (who was dressed as Gaston) at Villains Unleashed having a posing competition. Hilarious!
 
At the MNSSHP once, I was dressed as a Citizen of Agrabah. Now you would think that I would get more attention from Aladdin and Jasmin, but the best interaction came from one of the Ghosts outside the Haunted Mansion. She heckled me on the way in saying I had a lampshade on my head and had drank too much the night before (I was wearing a fez that lit up around the edges). Then, as I was leaving the mansion, she was headed to break and asked me to escort her out. We walked and talked all the way to the "off-stage" door. It was a very cool experience.
 
King Louie was a riot with my nephew who was 17 at the time. He made him sit on the floor in front of him and proceeded to take off his baseball cap and then picked "bugs" out of his hair and then smashed his baseball cap back on his head.We got it all on video.

A couple of years ago my daughter and I somehow could not find the pirate Ride and we were on the edge of Frontier Town with a map trying to locate it. All of a sudden there was a strange shadow behind us and I look up and am nose to nose with Clarabelle the cow! I screamed and I swear that cow was practically rolling on the floor laughing at my reaction. It was hilarious!

My favorite experiences were over at Universal. Woody Woodpecker grabbed my hand and kissed it and then danced me around and then made my husband take a bunch of photos of us in different poses. It was a riot.

When the kids were little they were into autographs and wanted to get one from Scooby Doo. I was rifling through my lovely fanny pack for a pen and Scooby started to "help me" look! I have the funniest picture of him with his nose in my bag!
 
I think Gaston is an order of magnitude above the others right now. He's just so over the top I could watch him M&G people all day, I wish they would put a web cam on him.

The stepsisters are next, followed by Naveen in his M&G with Tiana.
 
Stitch is my all time favorite character, but I couldn't track him down this year.

Best expereince so far has to have been at the soiree with Cruella. I was dressed up as wicked witch so she was commenting how no one ever lets good people take the dogs and wanted to set up a plan with me to get them where we'd go 50/50 on it was HILARIOUS!
