Can any character hold a baby?

[Kristamouse]

We are headed down in about two weeks with our kids and our 9months old. Are there any character that can hold a baby? When my DD was 9 months we went and DH or I held her but now we want a pic with just the kids. I was thinking perhaps the Princess's? Ariel has a child so she would know how to hold a baby right?:ROFLOL:

This conversation reminds me of an incident I witnessed at one of the "dance" parties last May, which I find to be way too chaotic in general, and a free for all for kids and some adults to maul the non-face characters. I don't mind the dances so much when it's face characters, like Anastasia and Drizella, who can interact with guests in a different manner.

Specifically, I watched as a mother or older sister (couldn't be sure which) tried to push what looked to me like a 5-6 month old into Minnie Mouse's arms as she was dancing. Minnie Mouse was frantically waving her hands back and forth saying no, no, and the lady wasn't having it... she wanted that photo op. Luckily, a character attendant saw what was happening and intervened, explaining to the mother that Minnie wasn't allowed to hold any children. The lady looked exasperated and huffily walked away with her baby.

Give me meet and greet lines any day! Those dance parties have to be so stressful for the characters, as they can't possibly take in ALL that is happening around them.

I agree with the dance parties they can be insane. During a MNSSHP we were at the Dance Party with Stitch in TL. I saw so many kids rush Stitch! Stitch was serioulsy tettering trying to get his balance and trying not to step all over the kids. I felt bad for Stitch, poor 626 couldn't see and was likely sweating bullets until a character attendent came and helped him out and gently moved the kids back. I did notice a number of parents grab there kids and try to move them back. Nice to see parents address the situation instead of pushing their kids closer.

Also a baby does have a say, if my DD was crying or clinging to me, pushing away. She may not talk yet but she sure gets her feeling across. I wouldn't give her to anyone much less a stranger.

On a different note I have talked to some other Mom's and
many have said Snow White holds baby and kisses them. One even sent me a pic of her 18 month baby with Mary Poppins in EPCOT. I will get her permission to post here, it is a darn cute picture.

I like what the OP said about the Characters kneeling down at child level for a pic, Baby Mouse is very good a sitting up. If I get a good pic I will post here. Just hoping the Judges Tent line is managable or none of the three kids will be in any mood for a picture!:brick:
