Character tips

[AngieBelle]

More tips to enhance your character experience.

Toontown has the most guarenteed character meet and greet locations, but also the longest lines! Most characters found there can be seen with much shorter waits in other locations, although you won't get the nice backgrounds. The best time to come see Toontown characters is within the last half hour before closing, especially when the park is open late. They will open the doors to all 3 character rooms and have a free for all.

When taking a picture, remember that some characters because of their limited vision have trouble telling where the camera is. If they seem mixed up, kindly tell them (verbal instructions, not pointing) where to look. They also sometimes have trouble telling if their eyes are focused correctly on the camera. It may look as if they are looking down or off to the side. Feel free to let them know if they should move their heads a little to give you a better picture.

Characters enjoy seeing how their pictures turn out so if you are using a digital, let them take a peek! They so rarely get to see any of the hundreds of pictures they pose for each day.

If you are visiting the characters who are out in front of the castle, it may be helpful for you to know that the song "A Friend Like Me" is the cue that it's time for them to go in. Most of the time though, right before they go completely, they all gather on the castle stage for a really fun group photo.

Talk to the characters! Goof around with them! They play off of you. The more you interact with them, the more fun and memorable the moment will be for you. This particularly applies to adults as some characters may think that adults don't want to be bothered, especially in resturants.
