Hey all - it's my first post, so I figured I'd start a topic!
What's the best character encounter you've ever had at one of the parks?
I have two, both with Chip and Dale:
The first was at Disneyland Paris at Christmas in 2000. I was staying at the Hotel Cheyenne by myself, and one day I was in the gift shop when Chip and Dale came through dressed in cowboy outfits. I think they were supposed to stay in the lobby with Cowgirl Minnie, but they wandered in anyway. After playing around for a few minutes with the guests, someone just outside that had just pulled up in their car honked. Well, Chip and Dale ran right out the door to greet them. I guess the British family hadn't honked on purpose, or maybe they were tired from the ride through the Chunnel, because they all got this terrified look on their faces and locked the doors! I guess they just weren't ready for two big furry rodents to accost them straight away upon their arrival!
The second was at Epcot, in the Land AP Lounge during the summer of 2002. This time I was with my family, including my sister who isn't the "Disney-est" person around. Chip and Dale came up dressed as farmers. We were just about the only people there at the time. They started playing around with us, minus my sister play-sulking on the couch. Since I was wearing a Karate-Kid style red bandanna (don't ask) that was the same as the ones that C&D had on, Chip decided that he wanted to take his from off his neck and wear it like mine. Furry fingers like his don't untie too well, so I did it for him, but it wouldn't fit around his monster dome, so he just let me wear it for a bit. At the same time, Dale came up behind me and started to try to get into my backpack. My aunt shouted out "He must be looking for chocolate!" and he got all excited and nodded. I told him that I didnt have any, but that my sister did. Chip and dale both RAN over and started to look for the candy. They thought it might be in her purse, and as soon as they grabbed it, she just let it go, and ran away. After a minute, they gave up on the purse and just went to check her again. I said, "It must be under her hat!", so they started lifting up her hat and she screamed, already having turned just as red as the hat was. We were all laughing so hard we were crying. Finally the boys gave up on the candy, and gave here the purse back.
Needless to say I printed up a big photo of her being accosted and put it on my parents' entertainment center.
