How to Make Your Disney Character Experiences Unforgettable

The following photo is of Alice and the Rabbit at Disneyland Paris. What an experience it was. There is nothing quite like meeting the characters at Disney, whether it’s Disneyland or Walt Disney World. It’s something that most parents, and kids alike, do to really make their trip memorable. The amazement on your child’s face when they meet their favorite character is always a joy to behold. It however can be time consuming, but if it’s something that you really want to do, my good friend Rachel is going to share with you some ways on how you can make your Disney Character Experiences Unforgettable.

One of our big mistakes during our first couple visits to Walt Disney World Resort was skipping the Character meet and greets. The lines can get pretty long, and we wanted to get the most out of our visit. By about our third visit, we started meeting our favorite Disney friends and we realized what we missed out on! Where else can you meet your childhood heroes and heroines? There’s a reason the lines can get quite long – interacting with these characters in real life brings you back into your childhood if only for a minute. Oh, and the kids enjoy it also!

I see many families wait in a long line just to go up when it is their turn, grab a quick hug, pose with fake smiles for the camera, and be on their way. I completely understand it can be awkward when meeting characters. What are you supposed to do? What do you say? I’m here to help! Many friends will start up a conversation with you, but sometimes they may need some ideas. Here’s a list of several Disney characters you may run into on your visit and some ideas to maximize your experience!
