Three adults what to say to the Characters

[DisneyDaffodil]

Compliments to the princesses always go down well, although they are usually excellent at starting/continuing a conversation. Ariel asked where we were from and when we said Wales, she replied ‘oh I speak Whale’ and proceeded to speak like a whale 😂

We often say we’re so pleased to meet you as you’re our favourite. We’ve also often got a Disney T-shirt on, to match the character at a themed meal. This is a great conversation starter. I had an Alice T-shirt and hair clip in when we met Alice, and she posed with me for the photo in the same pose as she had on the T-shirt. She also screamed across the dining hall to call the Mad Hatter over to see my T-shirt and to boast that she was the favourite 😀

I find a lot of the characters are very good at knowing how to speak (or gesture/articulate for non verbal characters) to adults groups and they lead the way

DW had an unusual interaction with Daisy in 2019. We were at Tusker House for lunch, and DW was sitting at the table, as you do. Daisy approached our table and everything was fine, then our server comes along with a tray of 9 drinks, Well Daisy didn't see the server behind her and Daisy turned around quite quickly launching all 9 drinks over DW. Bearing in mind DW was in the sitting position and the server was standing up, lets just say it was a 'Jessie's horse moment' (Bullseye!

I must say, that led to a very interesting interaction Everything was good in the end, Disney looked after DW. We do laugh about it, just wish I had of had the presence of mind to take a photo at the time, although having said that I may not be alive today had I have, DW would have seen to that.

Love this!
Having been with younger kids conversation was much easier but then with a teen who wasn’t interested in characters I felt a bit awkward

DD has had some good interactions in the past - but not sure that she is now a teenager she will be so engaged! Woody always used to take her bunny that she carried everywhere and Tinkerbell usually was good for fun interaction. i think just think of them as a friend you have known for ages!

Mary Poppins gave me some advice on looking after grandchildren!

I find the fur characters hard to interact with and to be honest tend to avoid them, but the princesses much easier as they start the conversation!

Anna gave me a 'Mr and Mrs' style quiz to check if I should have married my husband, as you 'shouldn't marry someone you just met'

Love this thread. I love meeting the characters and just behave like a big kid you are in Disney after all. Tend to just play it by ear and go with the flow and normally start with something simple like “ Hi Mickey great to see you again” and then take it from there.

Our best interaction last time was Joy and Sadness at Epcot. We had real laugh with them and I remember trying to cheer up sadness ( not easy ).

Assuming your allowed a good old fashioned hug is fun as well. As you can see Minnie took a shine to our son!
