Characters, characters, and more characters!!!!!

I could not get over the amount of characters we got on our 8 day vacation!!!

I made individual autograph books for all the kids with us (5 total)

These books had enough room for 48 characters to sign and a spot for a picture for each!! We ran out of space!!!! And some characters signed together like Buzz and Woody and Kermit and Miss piggy!!!

Disneymom and I were like disneymaniacs on ....:o Uh... I mean the KIDS were like disneymaniacs on a mission!!!! Because of course the autographs and pictures of all the characters were for the kids:whistle:

:whistle: :)

Anyway, there were so many, it made it that much more fun!!!! We pretty much had an easy time getting autographs and pictures too because the lines were so small!!

One cast member really helped us out!! It was Friday and we really wanted Lilo and Stitch and had not gotten them yet, So he informed us when and where to be to get them!!! He was right, however, my DD(4 yrs old) was so excited she forgot her book in the stroller with dad all the way across the plaza waiting in line for Donald Duck!!! It just so happened the very same cast member came to see if we made it to get them and saw our dilemma...... Soooo I ran and got the book and he edged us back in for the autograph and picture!!! Most people in line were very gracious about it and I was so thankful to that CM. We had very good experiences with the CM's this trip!!!!

By the last day there were some characters we hadn't even got showed up..... BUT... by then we were wanting to get in some last minute rides... So we did not get Cruella or Dopey!!!! Or King Louie!!! We got our fair share tho!!! All of our favorites for sure!!

3 Different Mickey's Chef, Space and Regular!!! I thought that was cool!!!

The park experience for us is definitely enhanced by the # of characters we get too!!!!

What a great example of a Disney CM at their best. Thanks so much for the great story and I'm glad you were able to grab so many autographs and pictures. I have never seen Lilo and Stitch in any of the parks. The autograph and picture I really want to nab is Hades. See him around? He's a hard one to find. My DD and I love to collect the autograph books and do a new one each trip.:)

I have always loved meeting the characters as well and was super excited when my little boy was born and loved doing it too.

We met King Louie and he wasn't able to give autographs so you didn't really miss that one.

I would love to see your trip pictures!

I'm glad to hear you had a good time. My daughter would rather spend time getting autographs and Trading Pins than going on the rides most of the time. I think the biggest part of the Disney Experience is the interaction with the Characters and CM's. Especially for the kids, and kids at heart.:)
