Interacting with Characters

[Kath2003]

We won't have autograph books at WDW next month.

We want photos with the characters but I'd also like to have some fun with them, let them play their roles a lil.

What kind of things have you done in the past which have provoked great character interaction?

As well as meeting characters in the park we're doing character meals at Crystal Palace and Ohana so specific suggestions for these meals would be great.

My dd had a Stitch stuffed animal when she got his autograph and that sparked a great interaction. He took it from her and stuck it in his ear. Then she was asking for it back and he acted like it was his and wouldn't give it back. It was so cute and I got it all on video. You just see my dd shaking her head and pointing at herself saying that it was hers. Another Stitch encounter at Ohanas was PRICELESS!! There happened to be an honest to goodness Elvis look alike at a table next to ours. The guy definitely had to work as an Elvis impersonator. Stitch was so excited and borrowed pen and paper from a CM and got that guy's autograph. He was taking people from other tables by the hand and leading them over to meet "Elvis" and during the conga line he made "Elvis" walk with him.
