Meeting characters... and Kidcot

[Tinkerbell1989]

Okay so 2 unrelated questions but I figured I'd ask them together!

My DBF and I are going to WDW in October and I want to spend some time meeting characters and doing character meals.
#1 - Does anyone have any questions they ask the characters so we don't feel awkward being kids?! I remember reading somewhere that someone asked Aurora whether she'd had a good sleep, and whether Tigger could jump as high as them.

#2 - Is there a maximum age on the Kidcots? I'd love to do a 'Duffy' for each of my cousins who are coming with us next year, but Tom and I will be 23!! Is that weird?

Thanks for any help!

Hiya!

I think its fab, not weird.

Before I had my son, I spent lots of time in the parks as an adult, either alone or with friends etc. The characters usually have a lot of fun with you. I find it can be quite useful to have some kind of 'prop' with you - like I sometimes took a Princess wand - and they love it, as it gives them something to interact with. So many times Mickey, Tigger, etc have stolen my wand and run off with it lol. I've had them take Mickey Ears off my friend and put them on me... All sorts of stupid things. Character meals are great, and props work well there too. I also took my Stitch plush one year, and did a 'Stitch does Disney' kind of thing; I put him in various situations and it turned out quite a lof of fun.

Here are a selection of my photos of 'interaction':

And some Stitch ones:

Rafiki pretending Stitch is Simba for me and Queen of hearts (my idol!):

Stitch on the phone in the Tower of Terror lobby and Stitch asking directions from security at the MK:

Cruella being, well, cruel and Stitch getting to drive the monorail:

Having his portrait done and finally have a survey taken of how he enjoyed his day:

Hee hee!

I know this was your thread, and it looks like I'm just taking over - I'm just trying to show you how silly you can be, and the sillier you are, the more fun the cast members and characters will have with you. I think it brightens their day too!

Go for it, and have a blast!

No Rachel, you carry on!!
I adore the picture of Stitch asking security for directions!

I like the idea of using props... hats and Mickey ears are a good idea!
