Walt Disney World Character Interaction Ideas

Many guests who visit with characters merely walk up, get their book signed, take a photo and walk away. The average time a guest spends with a character is less than one minute. They are missing out on some great fun, Disney Character Interaction and maybe even funny things to say to a Disney Character. Characters are always ready to play with the guests and may need a simple prodding to do so. After reviewing the list, contribute things YOU say to a Disney Character!
