what happens when....

I just read this on mouseplanet.com:

"...Visit Tinker Bell's Treasures in Fantasyland early in the day. Ask a cast member if you can be the one that wakes up Tinker Bell."​

Has anyone done this and what happens? Curious minds want to know!!

Yes we did this, on the wall there are lights like stars, they give dd a wand and asked her to tap on the box and the lights, light up across the wall and Tink lights up we woke her up I have really cool picture somewhere of it, and they gave her a certificate too! It was very cool thing for dd!

Yup, my dd did it on our last trip.

We were not actually the first ones in the store, but apparently we were the first ones who asked about it. It was cute. This is the description from my trip report:

They had the route through the castle blocked off due to the Cinderella show so we veered left and entered Fantasyland that way. Since we were walking right by Tink’s Treasures, I thought why not pop in and see if Tink was awake. I had not planned on trying this as I’ve seen lots of posts on how competitive it can be and how you have to be the absolute first one in the store. Kind of like getting that CRT ADR I guess. Anyway, there were already a mom and young girl in the store talking to a CM so I figured, Oh well. But the CM walked back to the register so I asked if Tink was awake yet. Well, after some consultation with another CM, it was determined that she was still sleeping and that Anabelle and Rebecca could wake her up. To be honest, it wasn’t as cool as I would have thought. They gave Anabelle a wand and had her tap a chest three times saying loudly, “Wake up, Tinkerbell!” each time.

After the third tap, the lights around the store flickered and the “Tink” music began. I really didn’t think Anabelle was that impressed, but she has since told all her friends that she “got to wake up Tinkerbelle”, so I guess it was a bigger hit than I thought. Rebecca just stood by and watched, but that didn’t seem to bother her at all. The CM’s had the girls peak in the keyhole to see Tink flying by, they both thought that was pretty cool. The girls got a YOMD certificate for waking Tink and we were on our way.

How very cute. I'll have to keep this in mind and give it a try on our next visit. We're usually there prior to rope drop, so maybe we have good chances.
My kids get a kick out of "tinkerbell" flying around the car -- when the sun reflects off my jewlery and creates that spec of light on the roof of the car that moves around when i move my hands or arm --- so I bet they'd like the wake up tinkerbell thing.
Thanks for the replies!!
