below i asked for your favorite Disney story. How about favorite character meet? I have so many but here's the best:

Mickey - wanted a family pic. with Mickey and my dd(15) was a little embarrassed. After making her come over, I noticed Mickey was bent over. I said 'Mickey whats going on? and he pointed to my daughter then his shoe. He had a big footprint were she stepped on him. The family picture is beautiful with Mickey smiling and my daughter bright red!!!

Queen of Hearts - my dd(8)was too scared to go up so I went with dd(15). I told her my youngest was afraid and she looked around waving her arms asking where she was. I pointed to the little girl hiding behind her dad. She grabbed the autograph book from my hands, banged the pen on 15 yr. old head, signed then went over to my daughter. After looking my husband up and down till he moved over, she gave my daughter the book and patted her head. Then she came back to us, pulled our hair and pulled us close to her for a picture. She was tooooo fun.

Belle - we waited and waited for her to come out on the coldest day of our visit. Finally Belle and Beast came out. My daughter ran up to her and said she was her favorite person. When Belle asked her name, my daughter told her 'my name is Danielle but everyone calls me Belle (which is true)' Everyone thought that was so cute. Belle called her a little princess, kissed her autograph book then took her hand to walk into the library where everyone was waiting. In the pictures you can see my daughter is starting to cry.

Daisy - my husband kissed Daisy on the head during his picture with her. When he went to leave, she grabbed him and pulled him back. So I took another picture. He went to leave again but she held on tight. All the people in line were laughing but the little kid waiting to go next looked so confused. Finally she let go, but kept waving to him. My husband had on a red shirt and his face was so red that he looked like a giant beet.
 
Our favorite character meets weren't planned, which is what makes them to special (and funny) to us. While waiting for the MK parade, my DS8 put his Sprite bottle down on the curb (we were sitting behind the rope line in front of LTT). Well, didn't a Country Bear come right up and sneak it when he wasn't looking. When my DS turned to pick up his soda, he looked all around and there was the Bear right in front of him waving the bottle! Well, my DS had to chase said Bear all over the street to get his soda back!! Very funny with the Bear pretending to drink it the whole time.
The second character meet involved my DS6. We were in LTT for dinner, so we were expecting to see characters. My DS6 was not really enjoying the LTT- not into the food, dissapointed and I guess it showed. Well, Meeko sits next to my DS6, puts his head in his hands to give my DS a good look. Then he picks up my DS6 fork and tries to feed him! Think choo-choo and airplane. Made my DS6 laugh, even though he didn't eat any of the food. My DH still thanks Meeko for saving our special dinner!
 
I have a ton of favorite character moments. I've already posted two of my favorites on my site, but here are a couple more.

In 1995, I was in the American Adventure Pavillion at EPCOT. The entertainment schedule had listed the area as a Pocahontas meet-and-greet location so I was on the lookout for her (the movie had just came out). When I got there, I saw Ratcliffe and Meeko, but no Pocahontas. While I was looking, a CM came up to me and asked if I wanted to meet Pocahontas. I said yes and the CM took me to a little hidden area of the garden where Pocahontas was waiting all by herself. She said hello, signed my book, and told me that if I came back latter, John Smith would be there. Then she asked me how I liked her movie and then showed me how to say hello in her own language (win-gap-o) just like she taught John Smith in the movie.

Last time I was at MK the first Castle show performence of the day was cancelled and some of the characters from the show were doing meet-and-greets. Among them was Snow White and her Prince. I had been looking for the Prince for a long time so it was very cool to meet him. I told them how I played the Prince in a production of "Snow White" when I was in high school and they were impressed. We talked about it for a while and the Prince was very happy to hear that I told everyone in the play to call me "The Prince" insteed of "Prince Charming" (that's Cinderella's prince).
