Yeah,sure. We believe you. Don't we gang??ktulu wrote:Or perhaps some sort of communique...
Yes, the little one in pink is my daughter.
And no, the one on the left here is NOT me either...
Not I either. I think I have seen a pic of him, but I could be wrong and he doesn't look like Dopey eitherWhazzup wrote:Not I, said the little red hen, based on descriptions of ktulu by other SGT folks. :D:
She really dosn't look like she is enjoying the magic, or ?ktulu wrote:This is from our WDW trip, this is before Abby surprised us by jumping out of her stroller and running to see Minnie.
Not at this point. Normally we hold her, tell her to smile at the camera and she smiles long enough for a picture, then goes back to looking worried. That all passed a day or two later. She doesn't like the mad hatter or captain hook (at least at DLR). She did play with Smee and Hook, but I think the friendly Mr. Smee kept her happy on that visit.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:She really dosn't look like she is enjoying the magic, or ?
I know the first time we took the grandson and parents to DL, he was that age, and he had a little "problem" with Pluto, until he got out of the stroller and went up to him on his own. then everything was o.k., (The CM performing really picked up on the 'reluntance" so it made for a good day!!ktulu wrote:Not at this point.

When we visited DLR back in July we ate breakfast at Plaza Inn (tradition at this point), and Chip and Dale picked up her reluctance really quick, so they played around with each other and made her laugh. They even went outside and banged on the window to get her attention and then played around. If I was to be a character, I'd want to be Chip or Dale. The have the most fun and can get away doing stuff like closing double doors on one of the trays so the doors are holding it, then smacking it and shooting it through the door. Man that was a good time...GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:I know the first time we took the grandson and parents to DL, he was that age, and he had a little "problem" with Pluto, until he got out of the stroller and went up to him on his own. then everything was o.k., (The CM performing really picked up on the 'reluntance" so it made for a good day!!
Wow, a scary pirate, who knew!!Purpura wrote:The Characters are really fun to have around. When I have my morning shifts there, I sometimes get to see some of the antics they do even as I work. One time Gepetto sneaked up on Captain Hook, and raised the latter's coat tails to his shoulders before dropping them and stepping away from the pirate. Another time Cinderella's Fairy Godmother got me to give her some waffles which she brought to another guest. I was barely there in working as a hostess when one of my fellow Plaza Inn cast members was ordering waffles for the breakfast buffet, and Chip and Dale messed with her hair, and tried to tell me she wanted 3 or 4 waffles when she only wanted 2 of them. I once saw Chip distracting a little girl with braids in her hair, and Dale came up behind her, and started knotting the braids together. The girl was laughing when she felt something happening to her hair.
Some moments at the breakfast are quite heart melting. I once saw a little 2 year old girl enter with her parents, and the characters were lined up at the entrance of Plaza Inn watching for guests to enter, and the girl just opened her arms and hugged each and every one of them.
Some kids are nervous about the characters, and if I see this or a parent tells me, I'll tell the Character assistants to have a character avoid one of the tables where the family is- One kid went under the table and refused to come out when Captain Hook kept visiting the table...
