Oh boy, I love stories about character interaction. I'll share my top three...
3) I took 3yo DS into the Toontown character tent to see "Mickey's Friends". It was Chip, Dale, and Minnie. Chip (that's the one with the brown nose, right?) really hit off with my son. He playfully tried to untie DS' shoes several times. DS thought this was hilarious. Eventually Chip gives DS a big bear hug (or would that be a chipmunk hug?) and turns him around so I can get a picture. The laughing smile on DS' face is just priceless. In fact, I keep that as my screen saver. If I wasn't such a goober about technical stuff I'd post it for all to see.
2) When DD was 5 (we were there celebrating her b-day) we ducked into the Exposition Hall for a moment. Fairy Godmother was there. No one else was around so she talked to DD as if she were an old acquaintance -asking her about her trip, her family, her birthday, etc. After what I thought was a long conversation with DD, FG reaches into her pocket and gives DD a handful of Mickey-shaped confetti and tells DD that it is her very own "bibbity-bobbity-boo", and that from now on she had a little of the "Magic Kingdom magic" to call her very own.. We eventually picked every piece from DD's sweaty little hand and put it in our backpack to take home with us. Now DD has it in her scrapbook and it brings back beautiful memories for us all every time we look at it.
1) DS (then 2) was having one of those days that 2yo often do at WDW about midway through a vacation (IOW, he was being Mr. Crankypants). We were at MGM, and he refused to be consoled by anything or anyone other than Snow White. I had no idea that Snow White even did greetings in MGM. DW and DD went to see the Mermaid show while DS and I set off to find Snow White (or something else that would capture his attention). There in the plaza area in front of the giant hat was Snow White! DS starts bouncing up and down in the stroller and we get in line.
It looked like we might just miss SW before she went on break, but we were the last one's to greet her. I helped DS explain how much he really liked SW. Then she did something that was so sweet, and so beyond the call of duty. She kissed DS' seaty little cheek. I immediately took a picture of the big ruby red lip marks before they rubbed off.
Later on that day, during the parade, SW sees DS in front. She gives him one of those "I-swear-it-was-just-for-me-and-me-alone" winks, blows a kiss, scrunches her nose, and giggles. DS was ecstatic (I felt a tear in the corner of my eye). Now DS is set on marrying Snow White.
Thanks for the topic! It felt good to sharethese happy memories and to read yours.
