I overheard someone tell Snow White that she was their favorite Snow white actor and I just about cringed my face off.
Kim Love I would've broken my neck from cringing. Props to your for keeping your cool lol
I just cringed picturing it >.
I was at Shanghai Disneyland and apparently I was the only one in line meeting Belle that day who knew how to carry a conversation in English. I told her how much I loved reading and we ended up talking for about 5 minutes straight! It was one of the most memorable conversations I had. She told me how she missed having furniture (like Chip) that talked but she was glad that they all became human again. I also bonded with Cinderella when i was in Disneyland Anaheim and we talked about my journey here (it took about a day by plane from Malaysia to LA) and when i told her my journey took a day, she said, “oh my! by horse?” And she laughed. I smiled too :) it’s these little moments that a photo will remind you of forever.
I hate when parents try to stump characters. like you're the one who paid a lot of money to please your kid, why are you doing this? Why are you trying to ruin the magic? It doesn't make sense to me
ugh pet peeve & cringing at the same time
I had a mom in front of me which asked this and i said to her: No it is not hot inside, because it´s his skin. Is it hot under your skin? I don´t think so. She had a little child on her hand, around 8 i think. I said to her: Why you wants to destroy the magic for all of us, especially for your own child. She looked at me with open mouth, without knowing what she should say. I hate people like this. Why they pay so much money when they not like this? Only, to destroy other people their magical days? I love Disney! This is the best place on earth for so many reasons.
Nick Dierna to be fair if I was a Disney character I'd know my movie before applying for the job after all everyone should know the movies
Bryan Bendickson when you audition to become a Disney character you don't get to choose who you want to play, you get assigned one based on your height etc.
you can ask the stepsisters to sing.....they will do it
It's part of their gimmick. I mostly meant the princesses aren't going to sing for you, they aren't supposed to.
siiinnnnngg sweeeet nightingale
Oh yes they do loud and wrong. LOL
As soon as she said don't tell them that your their favorite Cinderella, something popped in my head. "You're my favorite, Cinderella!" and "You're my favorite Cinderella" It's all about the paused guys, haha!
Good tips, I also have one, for the people (like me) that film their meet and greet, hold the camera to the side and not in front of your face and talk the characters by looking at them and don't look at the camera screen. I do it like that and with a little bit of practice it works great and it's more natural then shoving a camera in their face
i,m surprised if one of them would tell the person to buzz off and get the camera out of there face before they call security
Bless you omg
when I was there I asked every character I met if they liked cats.
If you collect pins, one thing that I've found can help interactions with speaking characters is wearing your pins on a lanyard! It sounds so simple but it really gives you something to talk about and almost bond over, especially if you have a pin of the character you're meeting!
My girlfriend was wearing a pin lanyard that happened to have Belle and Beast on it and we went to meet Gaston... He was lulling over Belle but wasn't too pleased to see Beast lol! I made him feel better when I showed him my Gaston pin :)
Caitlin W jack and sally complimented my pins lol
Thank god you said something about "Don't tell Snow White that she is your favorite Snow White" I hate when I hear people telling them that! Also, I love talking to characters! My friends make me talk to the characters first so I can start a conversation with them. It gets really cool when you meet them more then once and they remember you by name :)) You definitely want to have a good convo with a character because they will remember you for awhile.
One of my favorite interactions I've had was with Thor in Disneyland. I was wearing a Loki shirt and the handler pointed it out to him. He told me he didn't trust me, so we took pictures standing back to back. If you are shy, just wearing something they can react to will help make a memorable interaction
I bet you can imagine Gaston's reaction when he saw my girlfriend's Belle and Beast pin! Lol!
AND DON"T SAY "ANDY'S COMING" WHEN YOU SEE A FRIGGEN TOY STORY CHARACTER.
Nothing will happen and your yelling is annoying. (As you can tell, this one really grinds my gears)
DEFINITELY. i watched at least five people say this walking by when i was waiting to meet woody, and his host was getting so irritated.
Yeah they don't do that anymore since Toy Story 3 came out. The host will usually tell you Andy's in college.
I saw someone ask Aurora about the Descendants and she was so confused I felt so bad! AND YES TO CHARACTER INTEGRITY. I took a family for the first time and the little girl was so excited for the characters but there were some people next to us pointing out certain performers so she ended up asking me if it was really them and I had to convince her that yes, there's only one Belle and so on.
ohmygod i feel so bad for her and for laughing 😂😭
But there is only one Belle
Yup! Don't understand the people who go to the parks and say things to confuse people.
+Adriana Renee the blasphemy!
My aunt told my little cousin that since there are so many Disney Parks, the Princesses get help from other people so you don't always meet the "real" one. My nine year old cousin had the most fun trying to decide which ones we met were "real'. I was able to convince her all but one or two were. My aunt does the same with Santa too :)
I went to Dinsey and I feel really awkward talking to the characters, I don't know why and then there's the "do I go in for a hug, or not, or do I ask for a hug, or walk away to notice they wanted a hug." UUUGGGGHHH I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY
Kimidog coming from someone who has social anxiety, I also agree that it sucks
My tip is when getting an autograph from a character, avoid giving the characters (especially fur characters) a biro pen or a crayon etc, thick felt tips are really handy, they're easier to hold and most autograph books use thick paper so the ink won't spoil through 👍🏼🖌
Another good tip I think would be to get a jumbo pen that anyone can hold.
Yes! They even sell pens that are big enough for characters!
I met Peter Pan without waiting in line or trying, it was amazing! We were at WDW, and we were walking back from the pool at Bay Lake Tower (Contemporary DVC) and we saw Peter Pan and Captain Hook walking out with their attendants to the dock where the pirate cruise takes place. They saw guests and immediately started bickering and saying things their characters would say. Captain Hook went off, but Peter Pan slowed back a bit to greet us. He picked up this crudely drawn picture of him over a coloring sheet of Belle and said “I made this for Belle, don’t you think she’ll love it?” We all started laughing and it was just a really great experience.
That tip about asking a question is really helpful. I'm normally really bad with face characters.
I really wanna bring tsum tsums to see how they react. I brought my Jessie Tsum when I met her at Disney World last year and she had such an adorable reaction! Plus I have such a variety that I could do it with so many different characters! (I really wanna meet Cap and show him my Cap and Bucky tsums because cute.)
Mulan is one of my favorite characters and always have to meet her whenever I'm on vacation to Disney World. When I told her that, she quoted "Really? well then you must be swift as the coursing river..." I blanked. I know the song but I just couldn't remember the lyrics right on the spot. I felt ashamed but Mulan helped me out then I remembered the rest of the chorus. Kinda did a little quiz on me lol but she was great
I found one interaction I had at Animal Kingdom last summer interesting. I met Flik and it was a great time. And maybe Flik can get away with this because he's traveled to the 'big city" in his film (???), but he pointed out a wrestling shirt my brother was wearing and made an acknowledgment about it. He also got me (after a few tries of me trying to understand) to turn on my lock screen which had a still of Patrick from Spongebob where he says "I love you" in an ep. Flik pointed at the picture and made a belly-on-stomach laughing motion. He was very funny and it was a great interaction, but I thought it was odd and interesting that he went out of his way to recognize non-Disney pop culture.
If only I knew these tips back when I took my first trip to Disneyland in 2006. I was horribly star struck so all I could do was stand there and awkwardly ask them to sign my book and take a picture.
super helpful! i wish everyone was nice to the characters!!
so helpful.....i always get so nervous when i meet characters
Just have fun with it :)
That is stuff I would never have actually thought about. Really fantastic tips.
I feel like everyone needs to know these before going to any Disney Parks.
I haven't been to Disney World since I was little and it broke my heart a couple of years ago when my mom told me that they have a lot of Mickeys in different rooms for people to meet. Just keep quoting Sarah: "there's only one", and you'll be a much happier person.
gracieliz95 That is not true. I hate to be blunt, but multiple Mickey's do not roam the park. There is only one Mickey and when he is not roaming the park, he is usually hanging out with his friends :-)
vintagealien I want to believe you, I really do. The one we met wasn't roaming, though, he was a sorcerer's apprentice Mickey and he was in a greeting area inside a building. I'll happily take your word for it, though. I'm sure you know better than I do.
Thank for the helpful tips! I'm going to Disneyland Paris in 3 weeks so these tips really helped:)
I'm planning my first trip to Disneyland and I've just been watching all the videos I could on how to make the trip as magical as it can be- thank you for being a huge help!
Have so much fun!! I hope the magical memories never fade!!
Also, do NOT ask characters to do dance moves that are considered inappropriate like dabbing, the whip, the nae-nae, etc. It'd be better to ask them to do "safe" dance moves like jazz hands or the Macarena :)
Super super helpful OMG!
Nice video! I was at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL back in May, and I had a lot of fun meeting with characters while I was there! I had a fun time meeting with the princesses, got to dance with a few of them! When I met Ariel in her mermaid form, I told her about how I was in a musical about her story for the community theatre where I live, and I sang a little bit for her, that was fun! I made sure to see Donald a good few times because he's my favorite! I agree that you shouldn't quiz/drill the characters about their story, but there's no harm in asking them questions pertaining to their story. For example: When I met Raqunzel from Tangled, I asked her how Flynn Rider was doing and that lead to a nice conversation. Same with Mary Poppins when I asked her what Bert was up to. Love the Disney characters, they're great!
super helpful! thanks Sarah!
I get the ones about not quizzing your character on their movie, like don't ask Ariel about Melody, or about Kingdom Hearts or Descendants. But I see on a lot of websites to ask things like, asking Alice how many impossible things she's accomplished today, or asking Ariel what her favorite human treasures are. What do you think about those?
Thanks Thingamavlogs! I'm sure this will help me when I first visit Disneyland, and have my first vlog. :)
Thank you so much for this Sarah!
This is really helpful! I'm going to Disneyland for New Year's and I can't wait to meet all the characters! Thank you! :) xx
New Years is a great day to go cause Disney California adventure closes 1am and Disneyland closes at 2 am so after midnight mostly everyone leaves so short lines for everything
Thanks Sarah! That was really helpful!
SO HELPFUL testing these out tomorrow;)
i love this. I feel like I'm always so awkward, even when they're telling me stories haha so tips are always nice haha
I like timon and pumbaa
Yessss!!
This actually helped!
This video was super helpful I'm awkward when meeting the characters lol
What about dancing with the characters
I need tips on how to find characters. It is almost impossible for me to see Peter Pan 😫😫😫😫
Most of the times at Disneyland he is usually in random areas in Fantasyland. If ur lucky u might spot him wandering around that area. Mornings and during the afternoons is ur best bet. Hope this helps. Also use the Disneyland app and it will show what characters will appear.
Get the My Disney app!! It should help a lot :)
Sarah Marie he's almost always over by his ride in Walt Disney world.
If you think about how many kids ask the characters very detailed questions about their characters on a daily basis you would see that its not an "insult" to them. They are required to know a bit about the character too in order to "keep the magic". My sister works there right now and part of her job is to answer all the little kids questions. my sister has been in situations where a kid has known more about a movie than her, but shes required to improvise. its part of the whole show that is disneyland. if cast members don't answer peoples character questions in a magical/applicable way they would get fired.
thank you
I commented on another video about autograph books my question was answered here.
I have never been to Disneyland because it's so far away and expensive but I believe I will go there someday. and when I do, is it okay to say things you normally say to a celebrity? you know, like "I've waited for so many years to meet you, you inspired me!" etc??
Yeah that's definitely ok!
Yes of course you can say this. They all are really happy to hear this. I said this to 2 of them and they were really happy about this, was my feeling.
When getting an autograph, can you use a small sketchbook or journal? Or do you have to use an official book from the park?
You can use any kind of bound paper book, so a sketchbook or journal with a non-Disney pattern or theme or decoration will be fine (it can even be, for example, a "minions" notebook that you have the page open to for them to sign)- they just mean don't give them a Minion doll or piece of clothing with Harry Potter on it or some other OBJECT (or poster) with a NON disney character on it to sign. Like, "oh, hey, Snow White! Can you sign my Monster High pillowcase?" No, they won't really do that. But if you have a Monster High notebook, with empty pages, then you should be okay. Just don't make a big deal out of the non-disney theme, either like "can you sign my Ninja Turtles notebook?" Just be like, "can I have your autograph?" or "can you sign my book?". If that makes sense!
but sometimes they might refuse and give you the brush off as if saying ' get away from kid you bother me "
A lot of people online say to bring Snow White an apple, but I don't think she likes that much, so instead bring the apple to Aladdin! And if you meet the Mad hatter don't be afraid to wish him a Very Merry Unbirthday. :) And always ask for hugs- well, maybe not from Darth Vader!
Hey I'm going in a few days, and I was wondering if characters would sign things like sketchbooks? Not technically Disney, but it would be cool if Peter Pan signed this Disney drawing I did. Thanks!
In my local Disney Store, I did buy some Phineas and Ferb plushes. I went to Disney with them and they did sign them...
Shiny Skies that's cause they are Disney licensed items.
I really don't get the "Don't quiz them" tip. Part of the characters interaction experience is sharing with them how much you loved their adventure. When I met Moana we ended up talking about the adventures she lived and she was more than glad to take it from there and share her point of view on the main events of the movie. And that was the BEST part for me.
I had to watch this because soon we will be going to visit my mother's friend, liz. She just moved to Florida and isn't thst far away from Disneyland SO we are going to Disneyland! I am super happy! But I have never been to Disneyland, my mom and my brother have, but I haven't. So I was also panicking when I realized: "Oh I have never been to Disneyland before, how do I interact with the characters?! AHH IM SO NERVOUS." Yeah, so thank you for uploading this video! This helped!
am i allowed to let oswald or mickey sign a copy of epic mickey 2 for the xbox 360 or is it the brand thats getting the problem
Im doing a character marathon on Thursday (seeing how many I can meet in one day) and I'm trying to come up with one question for everyone. 🤔
I have an 8 and 9 year old going to Disney World in a month. Whats the best interaction tips for them :)
i have that dress!
I once told Cap that my sister was Hydra. She was also a rebel agent. lol
Another thing that helps with interactions is if your wearing the colors of that character. When Hollywood Studios had the Power rangers I met the pink ranger while I was wearing pink, and she commented on that.
yeah, i am not long back from Disneyworld, and I was wearing a pink top and Nikes, and Anastasia appeared from nowhere and came over to compliment me as she said pink was her favourite colour
What if it’s a purse or an item that has no disney characters no characters at all and just a plain colored? Is that ok?
What if you have an old childhood photo you took with that character, and...upon meeting them again, you'd like to have them autograph that old photo. Is that ok or against the rules?
I think that would be ok!
My drama and English teacher had the potential to be a Disney princess, but she was too small 😂
Sorry to sound so 'out of touch' with Disney but who is that big fluffy dog in your video? Love the video thank you for all the info:-)

Do not ever pull on fur characters either! How would you feel if someone came up to you and put their entire body weight on your nose? We want to keep Mickey and the whole gang feeling their best!
I have never been abroad in my life and I really want to go to Disney world and Disneyland. I want to go to Disneyland to see Oswald cause he's so cute and I want to go to Disney world to see the other characters but I probably never will get to meet them and have their autograph 😔🙁😭
Has anyone shown a character Journal 3 from Gravity Falls or talked about the show?
So what about when on Pirate night my brother and I put Tink in rubber hand cuffs as I grabbed them with my hook and we raised our Pirate Swords triumphantly as we "captured" Tinkerbell
Sarah thank you for the great tips
Disney owns the ABC channel and one of the titles it has is once upon a time could you ask them about this without getting into any issues. If so could you talk about separate universes in the Disney franchise such as Marvel's Avengers or pirates of the Caribbean.
So do I need a Disney autograph book or can I use any kind of note book?
Any kind of book is ok!
I had an obssession with making my own autograph book by cutting out picture of a Donald Duck magazine and pasting them on paper with empty spaces next to them for the autographs. I remember Goofy giving me a thumbs up for it.
Hey Sarah, burning question I've been wondering: How do the talking Mickeys work? I'm never sure how to interact with him…is it a recording that plays and is controlled behind the scenes?
what stumps me more is the Crush turtle one
Mikey has a bunch of pre recorded sayings (I got him to sing happy birthday to me!) and crush just has a guy say the things then a computer changes his voice
All of talking mickey's phrases are prerecorded by the official voice of Mickey and through some Disney Magic he always knows what to say!
Woh woh woh! Hold the phone!! There's a TALKING mickey??!!! When the heck did THAT happen?? where is he?
The only one I know of is in Disney World, although he might be found at parks oversees.
Is it okay if I give them something? Like a drawing of them?
Yes! As long as the gift isnt inappropriate :)
but how to do it with a fur-caracter?
What's the problem on bringing up non-disney to the characters, I like doing that with my interests that are non-disney
They're not allowed to talk about anything outside the Disney universe.
wonder how the female Disney characters will react if I were to sing Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass?
So like, if I was in Hollywood Studios when I go to meet and greet with Star-Lord and Groot, I shouldn't mention any other Marvel properties (e.g. X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, etc.) that are in Universal Orlando?
I think it's OK to talk about other Marvel characters from the Disney/Marvel MCU.
AKA not Xmen.
Hi there! Thanks for this informative video! I'll definitely take it into account when I (eventually) visit Disneyland!
However, I do have a question. I would like to demonstrate to Mary Poppins my ability to say 'Supercalifragilistic...' backwards, but I don't want to go up to her and just say "Hey, I can say 'Supercalifragilistic...' backwards". So would asking _her_ to say it first count as quizzing her? Do the 'friends' of Mary Poppins typically learn how to say it? I know that some of them can, but I really don't want to embarress her....
Thank you in advance!
I'd probably not ask her to do it! Maybe try saying "did you know I can say Supercalifraga.... backwards just like you?" and then do it for her!
Thingamavlogs Thank you! That's a real help! I simply could not think of a way to put it to her without sounding offhand or embarrassing her, but now I have a solution! Thank you so much! 😊
Why havent merinda a prince?
I recently had the best experience with Anna & Elsa by showing them my cosplay of Anna in her coronation gown! If you cosplay or have a really spot in Disneybound of a character, show it to them!
What an awesome idea!
why is ariel playing with her hair?
I dont meet some character at all
Is it okay to ask for an autograph for the fur characters? I don't want to make them uncomfortable or something by awkwardly trying to sign my book.
Yes you can!
Thanks for replying! You guys are my fav disney channel (wink) on you tube! ❤️
Do Furry characters sign books and should I have a pen when asking them for autographs?
LoliRock XerisCitizen they sign books, but have a pen handy!
Can they sign polaroid film pictures? Or are they too small?
A few can! Usually only human characters like the Princesses.
How come they're not allowed to sing?
Amelia Shaw Its not that they're not allowed to, but it is extremely awkward. Common decency should tell you not to put the characters into such an uncomfortable situation.
Amelia Shaw I also feel as if they don't because their singing voices probably won't sound just like the princess they are portraying. Kids tend to remember the songs they sing very well, and if it doesn't match up, it could be very disappointing...
I feel they should have at least some knowledge of the movie character they are portraying because they are getting paid to provide a magical experience to guests.
The question is are there only one Disney is magical other dimensions are magical THEY TAKE OTHER ONES FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS
Is it only one snowhite but snowwhite must have some covers if she is sik or something
The characters are suppose to know their story! They lived it! It tests them on their improve skills! Thinking on their feet!
First lol
I disagree with the "Don't quiz the Disney characters on their movies." When Disney hires people to play face characters at Disney, they're required to know their specific Disney movies forward and backward.
Brooke507 if they are required to know then it shouldn't hurt to see if they are true to their part
There's only one Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Snow White? That's rather fascist. After watching this video, I really don't want to interact with any Disney characters. If I see them I will just politely keep my distance.
Um ok
...."fascist"....
