What is the most Disney thing that's ever happened to you at the Parks? Have you been in a parade? Had a night's stay at the Castle? Experienced amazing Disney kindness or generosity?
We had a character lunch at The Land because my mom just loved Chip & Dale. I guess a group of 3 adults wasn't a priority for the costumed cast members because they just passed us by, usually just waving as they zoomed on to the tables with kids. Minnie stopped once, but that was it, in about 45 minutes.
We were all disappointed, but my mom was really crushed. She used to love taking photos & feeling the softness of the costume when they hugged her. She went into the rest room when we left & while we waited the host CM asked if we'd had fun. My friend & I told her what had happened & that my mom was genuinely disappointed. That lovely CM said, "Don't you leave until I come back." When my mom came back from the rest room, the CM walked over with Chip & Dale who did a personal meet & greet with our party. I thought we'd all cry.
Another time, I had a friend who was a live-action star in a Cartoon Network show that taped at the then-named Disney-MGM Studios. She took us on-set & we became part of the attraction as guests passed by & watched the taping. Then she took us to the cast members' commissary. We were really shocked to see how many cast members ate their lunch in full costume -- watching Princess Jasmine eat her lunch was sort of surreal, but fun!
I would love to hear your stories! They make me smile!
Thanks, in advance for sharing them!
