Question about Character Meeting - Posing for Pictures

[Cirlonde]

Hi!

I'll be visiting WDW for the first time in November and I've been trying to think of some "unique" poses for pictures with characters. Well, I work for the University of Oklahoma and it occurred to me how awesome it would be to have a picture in my office of me and "fill in the blank" character doing the "OU" sign together. (This is just basically one person making an O with their arms over their head and another making the U.)

So, do you think it would be okay for me to ask a character to make the "U" symbol for a picture? (I figured the U would be easier than the O for someone in a costume!) Or could that be considered problematic in anyway?? I guess I'm just worried that they have some kind of rule where they can't "support" an entity...you know, like how the Olympic competitors can't be seen wearing a brand that's not one of their sponsors, etc. I don't want to risk feeling awkward if they have to say no....

Thanks for your input!!

You can certainly ask.
(The character can agree or decline.)

To make it really EASY for the character to understand, take a really big photo with you showing a person who is making the sign with their hands/arms/body, so the character can SEE what you want them to do.
