I think you are adorable. Meaning your youth and excitement is infectious. Watching your videos and hearing your stories make me feel young again. It so good to see someone take a chance when they are young and have these type of opportunities. I love all your videos.
I like to tell people that if they can afford it, do character dining! Especially for the parents who aren't into meeting characters, then they can focus on food and won't need to wait in five different lines to meet the characters they can there. Plus 9 times out of 10 it's a buffet!
My parents told me that one year all I wanted to do was meet characters, mom said we barely even rode any rides that year. We waited in character lines everyday the WHOLE trip!!!!😂😂
I forgot to add that the costume Head has a fan inside, we didn't know how long the battery would last. Long story short, the fan stops working half way through the varsity football game. I got the body part of the costume sweaty, also the clothes I had on underneath.
Much appreciated tips...especially regarding Joy and Sadness, since I would love to see them. Do Anna and Elsa have times posted, and how can you determine wait time based on their line?
Alpha Stoutland you're so welcome! Anna and Elsa meet at am indoor location in Norway, so their wait time is posted just like an attraction's wait time is posted. I believe they meet in epcot all day! check the app and a Times guide to make sure! :)
Ok. You’re gonna think I’m crazy... but... I wanna do the character meet and greets, but masked characters scare me. When we were at Hollywood Studios for my birthday last month and we were walking back towards Star Tours and Chip and Dale were walking through the park high fiving guests and one of them approached me to give me a high five and I was so scared to do it (I mean I did it, but I was hesitant). Then later the storm troopers were out and they were like walking toward me and I like turned and went the other way. I’m such a baby. But I feel like I don’t have the obligatory Mickey and Minnie photo and I want one, but I am too scared to go do it. Do you have tips? I’m also relatively shy and rely on others to break the ice but they don’t talk, so it’s kinda weird. Should I practice with the face characters first?
Love your videos and all the WDW tips! I'm just wondering if you can give us any tips regarding the actual character interactions themselves!? I'm quite shy, rubbish at making conversation and never know what to say! Do you have any tips about good/favourite questions to ask specific characters, or even what questions/comments to avoid!? I would love to see a video about that! Thanks! :-) x
Hi! We are going to Disney World this summer and last year when we went we missed meet and greets because we did not know what time they were. Where do you find the meet and greet times for characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger?
Briar Rose said a lot of the things I was going to say! There's also getting a mat for a picture frame signed by the characters and then putting a family photo (or whatever photo) in it. Some people get pillow cases signed. I think backpacks are super cute with all the signatures on it! Just nothing too small (ie magic bands - doable but pain in the butt). Some people get the ears of the mickey hats signed, but you'll only be able to get a few signatures on those. And regular sized sharpies are my personal (and a lot of others') favorite to sign in! :)
Ben Collins it depends on what the temperature is! Characters will usually stay out between 20 and 30 minutes and then go check on their cookies baking (well, that's what Minnie usually goes and checks on!) And then be right back out, 5 minutes or so later
Olivia_Simone I wanted to bring this up because I was my high schools mascot during my senior year before graduating. I learned being outside on a hot day, I did have to learn the hard way.

Ever since Elsa was created we say in the winter " who ever upset Elsa go and apologize!"
hahahaha that's amazing :D I'll have to use that
You have such a Disney voice. It makes me so happy! 💚
Aw thank you! That's so sweet!
Olivia_Simone so are you!! Thanks for making the Disney magic a reality 💚
I waited 2 hours for Baymax and Hiro and it was Worth IT! SO much fun. :D

That's such a great tip I've never thought of that before!
We love doing Cinderella's Royal Table so we can meet a bunch of princesses and not have to stand in lines to see them.
My parents told me that one year all I wanted to do was meet characters, mom said we barely even rode any rides that year. We waited in character lines everyday the WHOLE trip!!!!😂😂
hahahaha I'm so happy your parents went with the flow and let you do your thing! haha
I love your "Disney story/experience stories! If u have more pls share them!!
love meeting all the characters. thanks for the extra tips!
No problem! :)
Great tips! Meet and greets are my favorite!
I saw Donald at Hollywood Studios. Also at MK we were lucky to find Mary Poppins, she was really hidden but we found her!
I have NEVER met her at MK before! That's so cool!
Thanks for the tips we go in June and can't wait to see more characters.
Have a magical vacation!!!

If at all, how does the Disney cast keep their composure when a hurricane is approaching before the parks close?

I'll try to make a video about that soon! Thanks for the idea and for watching my channel! :)
I thought I was the only one that pronounces MRFF like merf but you do it too! 😁
haha yes! Everyone I knew in entertainment called it that but my roommates never knew what I was talking about when I called it that lol
Omg I have a disney visa but never used any of the benefits. I live in DTLA so Anaheim is close by... i need to do that!
Thank you for the great vlogs. I am just curious, what do you use to record your videos?
Hi! We are going to Disney World this summer and last year when we went we missed meet and greets because we did not know what time they were. Where do you find the meet and greet times for characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger?
The app! :) My Disney Experience
I waited 1hr and 30 mins to see Mickey in Hollywood studios 😭😭 but I saw them anyway
What about Timon the meerkat from The Lion King does he have fast pass
Eddie He doesn't meet unfortunately!
I've seen his signature but there's no one place he ever reliably shows up these days.
So, for instance, the new Sorcerer Mickey meet and greet at Hollywood Studios will more than likely be an all day meet and greet because he's inside?
Yep! He should be there all day!
Olivia_Simone Awesome! I am mainly looking to meet Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Pluto, Chip and Dale. We're going in October! :)
Do you have any cute suggestions of things to get signed?
Briar Rose said a lot of the things I was going to say! There's also getting a mat for a picture frame signed by the characters and then putting a family photo (or whatever photo) in it. Some people get pillow cases signed. I think backpacks are super cute with all the signatures on it! Just nothing too small (ie magic bands - doable but pain in the butt).

Really? When I went to Epcot the line for Baymax was an hour long and no one at all was seeing Joy and Sadness. o.o This was like 10ish? 11ish am?
you also forgot to say that you can go to minnie and mickey's house to meet them. at magic kingdom.
They dont have houses in MK anymore!
i wonder why they took them out they was so cool to see, glad i have video of the house before they took them out. it was a popular place too.
My wife will be in a wheelchair is there a special line we go in for the que lines or are they wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair?
Like Briar Rose said, most lines are wide enough for wheelchairs :)
Olivia_Simone thanks for the information
what different characters have you "helped".
About how long can a mascot be outside? If let's say this person is outside.
Ben Collins it depends on what the temperature is! Characters will usually stay out between 20 and 30 minutes and then go check on their cookies baking (well, that's what Minnie usually goes and checks on!) And then be right back out, 5 minutes or so later
Olivia_Simone I wanted to bring this up because I was my high schools mascot during my senior year before graduating. I learned being outside on a hot day, I did have to learn the hard way.
Ben Collins Disney's number 1 priority is safety and they treat their performers well!
is elsa a man? in the thumbnail elsa looks like a man
You might want to go in for an eye appointment because she was actually one of the prettiest Elsas I've ever met!
Olivia_Simone Sorry I was watching this on my phone that has a cracked screen.
Ah that explains it! :p no worries!
Hey I have only been subscribed for a month or two. When did u work at Disney?
