Thanks so much for sharing this. I was cracking up. Gaston was fabulous and your kids' reactions were priceless. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's just more fun to be a villain (who can talk) than a hero.
Loved the video your children are adorable Gaston IMHO has one of the best meet/greets lately He is so into character whether you are itty bitty or up there in age Perfect Casting
I just want to say your video is awesome. It inspired me to look up more YouTube videos of Gaston meet-and-greets and I found "your" Gaston to he the best! Very entertaining and a riot.
The line for Gaston always seems like it is a mile long. We just happened to be strolling by Gaston's statue when he appeared. What luck! We stuck to the handler like glue (like Gaston needs a handler) and managed to land a spot 2nd in line.
Since Gaston's meet and greet location is not clearly marked -- at least as of February it wasn't -- my advice would be to check the times guide, grab a Lefou's Brew, hang out by Gaston's statue and then pounce on that handler when you see Gaston appear.
Good luck! (And someone please ask Gaston how he managed to survive that big fall.)
Gaston was a highlight of our trip! I have a super cute picture of Gaston and my son flexing their muscles and Gaston is pushing my son's muscles down so he isn't flexing as big. He was definitely one of our favorite characters!

You're welcome. DH and I still watch the video almost daily. And I've never really thought of Gaston as evil. He's just perhaps, a little misunderstood (but I do get your meaning).
