Why the characters do not talk at Meet and Greets

This is a question often asked of the characters and I thought some of you may be interested in the reasons behind this:


It’s all to do with the physics and complications of pixie dust generated time travel wormholes.

The main characters are in a lot of demand and let’s face it – how can Mickey appear to be in, the Jammin’ Jungle Parade at the same time as greeting someone else in Toon Town?

Easy! Pixie Dust generated time travel wormholes. Whilst there is only one Mickey these wormholes allow him to bend the space-time fabric so that he can appear to be in two places at once. At least that is how it appears to us. Mickey’s own day will start and then run in sequence for him, using the wormholes to slip through to different time periods of the day.

To make his life easier Mickey will normally first don his tailcoat and then go to the various times in the day he is seen wearing it. Then he will put on his next costume and appear in the various times of the day he is seen in that outfit and so on through the full day’s wardrobe.

This is where it gets complicated and why he does not talk.
For example, say little Suzie meets Mickey at the start of the day at Animal Kingdom in his Safari outfit. She then goes to Magic Kingdom for the evening and sees him for the second time in the day, this time wearing his tailcoat.
When Mickey sees Suzie in the evening it will be the first time he meets her. But to Suzie she has already met Mickey that morning, so this is the second time she has met him (still with me folks?)

So, Suzie would get very confused, and possibly upset if she tried to continue a conversation she had with Mickey in the morning at Animal Kingdom only to find Mickey does not appear to remember a thing about it. However dear reader, you will now realise that Mickey has not forgotten all about his meeting with Suzie. In Mickey’s timeline his first meeting with Suzie will happen later in his day when he puts on the safari outfit.

To keep matters simple the characters do not talk rather than take the risk of upsetting or confusing the little ones. The kids are there for a day of fun not to be lectured about the intricacies of folding space and time with all the complications that entails.

See – simple really!

Characters don't cough cause their agents advise them to save their voices for their films. The meet and greets are only to keep them busy between films. Use your voices when you're getting the real money. This meet and greet nonsense is only till Mickey Mouse gets a Golden Globe.

Barnum, that is amazing. That makes perfect sense in a twistedly, illogical magic-type sort of a way... kinda.


Now I'm going to go ice my head down...

My friend and I were in Epcot a few years back. And we had Beer in our hands and my buddy wanted a picture with Eyore, or however you spell it. But the charachter keep pointing at him and my buddy had no clue want he meant. In other words put the beer down or no pics....

Better than my explanation which is one of the following three reasons:

1. They are constantly eating to keep up their energy

2. Eisner has had their tongues removed so that they can not talk bad about him

3. BECAUSE

They must share the PixieDust with Santa... Someone call Virginia, we can prove the fat guy in the red suit exists and would not instantly be killed by the required acceleration of his sleigh to get from roof-to-roof nightly on Christmas.
