My last trip I had great interactions with tons of characters, except Pan, I was most excited for him but the Pan we got was super awkward and didn't even notice the huge Peter on my friends shirt, we basically just took a photo and left. Super disappointing.My last trip was the first time that I ever felt concerned or self-conscious about my age (I'm 28) - I had a sort of weird interaction with Peter Pan, and I felt like it was literally forcing me to grow up, haha. It very well may have been the Pan that I ended up with that day - the rest of my interactions have been wonderful. I'm curious to try Peter Pan again next month when I go.

I'll be there in May with my BF and feel the same. He isn't into that kind of stuff but I'm hoping if the first couple M&G go well, he'll be in better spirits when doing the others! I suggest staying away from the face characters. My favorite interactions are Mike and Sully, Buzz and Woody, or Mickey, Minnie, Goofy etc.Weirdly, my last experience with a character was with Peter Pan, and it made me really self-conscious, too. This was in 2009 and I had just graduated high school. I was there with my dance team and we had done Peter Pan that year and were really excited to meet our characters. I was Wendy, and I told Wendy and Peter and they just seemed to be laughing at me in a bad way. It was really awkward.
So I'm a little nervous, too, about my trip in September because I would like to have some nice character interactions. Plus, my BF isn't super into M&G so I think if the first one or two don't go well we probably won't do many.
Love the tips in this thread, though!
I might sound crazy but I always wear a birthday pin. Lol it could be 3 months after my birthday two months it could have been booked on my birthday and 4 months later be going I just always say it's my birthday present. It makes the experience more fun the characters always react in different waysfor the last few trips i've felt a bit awkward during character meet n greets cuz i feel like there's no conversation between me and the characters.
we just sorta look at each other and then they say lets take a pic and then off i go having only seen them for 5 seconds.
then i see other adults interact with the characters for much longer than i do and i feel like its cuz they've done something special to make it last longer like wear some weird outfit to make the character comment on it or ask some weird question that the character has to come up with an answer to. (or challenge gaston to do something which seems to be very popular at the moment)
thats not me...
so i wonder if bringing an autograph book would give the character more time to come up with something to say?
or how else could i make the interaction seem less awkward?

No matter I get lucky with character interaction for some reason something crazy always happens but I have done the autograph book. Buzz slammed my book down cause woody was trying to dance with me . Me and Cinderella were gossiping about the other princesses I think the autograph book shows them your here for the magic not just the picture lolwell i just went last week and i brought an autograph book and that really did help.
i also told belle that when i saw gaston a couple days prior he told me i should be with beast so he can be with belle and that got a conversation started lol.
