Our kids love getting their pictures and autographs with the characters. My husband and I made a day trip by ourselves to MK in April and found ourselves still standing in line to get character pictures and autographs. Granted I used them for scrapbooking since my boys wouldn't let me have their autograph books to use...even though they have at least 10 a piece. The characters have been one of my favorite things about Disney since my first trip as a baby in 1972.
