First Disney Meet & Greet?

stitchhead28 · 01-25-2006, 04:46:25 PM

What was your the very first meet & greet you remember with a Disney character in the park? For me, I was around 4 years old, and I remember just holding onto Chip because the his fur was so soft.

When i was five, I met Mickey in Mickey's house (from Toontown). Back then, I couldn't hold still while taking pictures, so when I saw the photo again, Mickey had to hold my head.

For me, it was Belle. She was my favorite character from any Disney movie and when I was five, it was so amazing to meet her. I remember she signed my autograph book. I still have the signature.

I don't remeber when but I was very young. I would follow the characters around and would refuse to let go. I don't think any kids are really like me, I loved those characters

I was scared to death of them. Still am, kinda...

Although I remember Mickey in Mickey's house. I specifically remember him shaking my hands with both hands.

When I was a small child I was terrafied of the charectors and I still am today even though It would be cool if i was the mickey from fantasmic lol. (one of them). Which has to be the hardest friken show to work on.

the first character I can remember meeting... friar tuck.... the white rabbit... tweedle dee and tweedle dum.... the this old school pooh that had a jar of honey on his head. this was of course long ago.

Now, if my memory serves me... I believe the first official meet and greet in the sense of... like ariels groto or pooh corner... it was in frontierland and you could meet davy crockett. that was when the park was brand new.

My first meet and greet was in Mickey's house when I was like 2, I think. When I took the picture, I just didn't want to let go! And I would like to try out for mickey in Fantasmic! It sure does look hard, but I know all the movements

Yeah, they didn't have official meet-and-greets when I was little. The characters just walked around the park lookin' creepy. The costumes were terrible then compared to now.

When I was 4 my brother talked me into kissing one of those characters it was not Mickey or Minnie it was one of the 3 Pigs I have a photo of me standing by him. Yes the costumes were scary.

Man I was so excited when I walked into the park. I saw Geppeto(sp?) had just walked up and I ran up and got my picture taken with him.
