Do the characters talk.
I imagine that like Cinderrella and people with real faces must talk, but does Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh?
Yes, that's how it is. If the face is covered by costume/mask, they don't talk. All the others do talk. Mad Hatter is a fun one - we had tea together.
The others are great with hugs and gestures. We've had our best interactions with them at the character meals.
Kanai mauled my kids, Koda tried to eat my food, then "told" us that he likes fresh fish better. And as he walked away, my kids quoted him, saying "say it with me, Ko - Da". Then Koda turned around and did the exact hand motions that my kids had just done (from the movie). It was one of those magical moments.
Be careful with Meeko - that one will take your bags if you're not watching!
Mr. Incredible had to still his beating heart when he saw that he was about to sign the same page in our book as Mrs. Incredible. Chip (or was it Dale?) looked through one of our autograph books and had to still his heart when he saw a couple of autographs - he really likes the princesses, but Minnie got the most reaction out of him.
Pluto tried to "bite" one of my kids hands and chased my other kid back to our table when she went to let him in the door - guess his paws kept him from opening the door himself.
The talkers are great there, too. Alice asked about my kids schooling, Belle told us all about her friends, Aladdin asked the gal next to us for a little dance lesson.
Mary Poppins helped my kid shake hands properly and gave my other kid scrapbooking ideas.
There was so much more, I could go on and on. I love the interaction with all of them, weather they can talk or not!
