Character Friends

[gunky95]

Lots of great characters there! I wish I would have met more when I was there! I guess it is a good excuse to go back!!!

[welise24]

Oh mi gravy! It's that Peter Pan! I met him a few years back! He was so nice... :)

[snowaeris]

Well we asked about Rufus and I know he gave a response as to helping them save the world, but what was more hilarious was that my friend has a Rufus keychain on her camera, and he was amazed at it! I know they used to meet and greet in Disney's Hollywood Studios, but I do believe they are no longer meeting with guests anymore :( They could be at random special events though!!!!

[ElizaShakiraMassani]

6:35 OMGoodness its KIM POSSIBLE AND RON STOPPABLE now did he have rufus in his pocket lol i so want a picture with them

[mermaidamp]

@ElizaShakiraMassani Me,too! 

[snowaeris]

@psychicize The hottest month of the year is August for Orlando, but June and July is pretty scorching, too.

[ElizaShakiraMassani]

lol i definatly want this job cause then i'll get the chance to meet most of the characters and the people behind them i say the people behind i the costumes are the best people in the world

[11liamk1]

thanks :) i heard that there in the animation building now at hollywood studios. im going this march does daisy duck still meet at the big hat ?

[snowaeris]

I'm not sure who meets at the hat anymore. I believe she still meets in the mornings (until Parade) in the front of Magic Kingdom by the flagpole.

[11liamk1]

hey were did you meet tweedle dee and dum

[snowaeris]

I've met them in a couple of places. They used to be out in front of the Sorcerer Hat in the afternoons. I'm fairly certain they aren't there anymore. I know that they still meet some mornings during the summer (and other busy times) in front of the Teacups in Magic Kingdom.

[TheRaven971]

I've met most of these characters, except for maybe the newer ones...

I always strike these ridiculos poses with characters for some reason xD

[blkynBridge95]

I'm so jealous I can't find John Smith anywhere when I go any tips

[snowaeris]

I have only found him at the Pirate and Princess Party (now no more), and special meet and greets I had set up by specific cast members. He does make random appearances, but I have no tips because they are RANDOM

[OddShoeLaces]

PIRATES ROCK

[musicgirl999]

wow how did you get to meet belle in her fantasmic costume?

[daniimal987]

@musicgirl999 i go there every yere

[musicgirl999]

I was in WDW for a week and got pics with a ton of characters as well!! Just about as much as I do when i go to disneyland!!

[mynameisbrittanym]

I met a lot of these characters in just 7 days. There were about 12 I didn't meet. I'd love to do an intermship at Disney World. The greatest place on Earth!

[snowaeris]

There were a lot used from soundtracks: Kingdom Hearts, Wishes, Fantasmic!, Aladdin, Winnie the Pooh, and Pirates of the Caribbean were all used :)

If I retrained, I could be an attendant again. I'll be there this summer, but I opted for Attractions this time for a new experience :)

lucky

[Helenina91]

I love this video!!!

[ghosty4]

I have ridiculously high standards for Belle, so I must say the Belle at 2:43 is GORGEOUS! Also Megara... BITTERNESS! Hercules and Megara are my Disney face character Holy Grails!! The one in your picture looks spectacular!

[snowaeris]

2:43 is after a showing of Fantasmic! at MGM. Belle is my FAVORITE and I was nearly in tears when I got to meet her...in her most gorgeous dress EVER. She was so sweet, so nice, and absolutely AMAZING.

[snowaeris]

A character attendant basically "attends" to the character. We follow them around, make sure they stay on schedule (they've got lots of things planned in their day!) and we help guests take pictures, find other characters, and of course answer their questions. Some call us the character's body guard.

I had a great time on my program :) I did get to know the characters backstage and they are amazing!! Disney is amazing, and I did have a blast. I can't wait to be back there soon!

[marie81794]

how did you get mickey and minnie to come to your graduation?

[snowaeris]

It was actually an event Disney hosted for us. Since we all successfully competed the Disney College Program, we got a "graduation" where we got Mickey graduation ears, pictures with characters, free food (cook-out stuff), and there were random drawings for prizes.

[snowaeris]

Well I worked with the characters, so I frequently saw them backstage. That was probably the best part of my job -- getting to know characters on an off set!

I don't think I met anyone by that name, because it doesn't ring a bell...sorry!

[juanpishoww]

padrisimo

[SassieGurl4Luv]

was this at disneyland or disneyworld?

[snowaeris]

World...I've never had the pleasure of visiting Walt's original park. One day I will though, one day.

[radiofrny]

so cute!!!

[lmcgirl923]

Prince Phillip! I'm so jealous. He always seems to be hiding when I'm in WDW.

Great pictures, thank you for sharing them with us!

[snowaeris]

That was pure luck...he happened to be walking out just as I was walking by!

[lmcgirl923]

Still! Lucky you. Prince Phillip is my favorite prince ;)

[TheRaven971]

I saw Prince Phillip at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party with my little cousin.

[daniimal987]

come on i will find out i am going there this year

[disney1nickjluvr45]

That's one of my goals next time I go to Disney, get as many pictures with characters as possible.

[snowaeris]

Good luck! I'll be down in August trying to get a few more I want. It helps if you have connections though. I worked with the characters, so I knew their schedule.

[briitnee]

i love all the charecters in disney there the best

[sailordragon]

Character Attendant is the best role EVER!

[snowaeris]

Well best role for the college program...me, my dream role is to be an Imagineer :)

[sailordragon]

Yeha- now I take that back- imagineer would be the BEST! :p

[musicgirl999]

i didnt kno you could get pics with power rangers. do they talk at all?

[snowaeris]

They are at Disney's Hollywood Studios in front of the Light's Motor's Action attraction (beside the backlot tour). They don't talk at all, and they are VERY fast. They are only out for a short time a few times during the day.

[musicgirl999]

I wish they talked lol

[brennailya]

You have one of the only Megara pictures I have ever seen - I didn't even know you could meet her at the parks.

I'm eagerly awaiting my fall 2008 acceptance - enjoyed your slide show!

[snowaeris]

She's quite rare, but with the job I had, I knew where she'd be sometimes.

Good luck on your acceptance!

[candysweet434]

aw! that was awesome. looks like you had a great time. i loved the music you put together.

[disneynut06]

Nice slideshow.

[snowaeris]

Thanks!
