A Few of My Favorite Things ~ The Real Characters

As my trip to Walt Disney World draws closer, I am reminded of many fun times with the characters. This time, however, when I say characters I'm not referring to Mickey and friends....but the "real characters," as in the Cast Members.

The Cast Members often provide lasting memories by some of the fun things they do. A good way to remember some of these great times is by having a photo taken with them. Whether it be a fun time in the front car of a monorail, at one of the nations at World Showcase, or an encounter with someone such as Art the Greeter...ask them for a photo and they'll usually be more than happy.

I've found that many of the CM's really enjoy adding that extra piece of magic to your vacation experience and looking back at some of the photos I've taken with them really brings back happy memories for me. Many of the CM's stay in character as well. For example, get a photo with someone at the Tower of Terror or Haunted Mansion and make sure you have a gloomy look on your face, because they usually will as well.

So the next time you're at Walt Disney World, don't forget some of the "real characters" that make your trip even more fun. Stop and ask for a photo. They'll be happy that you asked and you'll have a memory of that moment to last a lifetime!!!
