CM Games?

[PhotoDave219]

Just like a bunch of other people this week, I saw the "Andy's Coming!" thing and got to thinking...is there anything you know of similar to this, that IS real!? Special things you can say or do with a CM that will make a magical thing happen?

I believe the real magic happens with Vodka on Vista Way or Chatham.

Kenny the Pirate has an app, "Disney Character Locator". It gives a list of each character appearing at whichever park and provides some suggestions as to what to ask/say to the characters. Ie. Ask Chip & Dale who is the better dancer and enjoy their reaction.

Its for Android only (and thank you for getting my hopes up there).

The princesses will play "tag" in World Showcase sometimes. Last time we were there Aurora told my DD to tell Belle "your it" if she saw her.

Belle once told me to tell Ariel that she needed a good fork. Whatever the heck that meant.

Go to Disneyland. The characters there are much more free.

Asking about "George" at POTC gets random responses. We always ask questions such as "is george in a good mood?" Or simply, "is george real?" We have gotten some wild responses over the years. Some pretty cool stories as well from CM' s who wanted to talk about it. Some CM's just give you an intense, very long glare.(my favorite)

Who's George?

Skip to about 20 seconds. This might be what she was talking about.

George is part of a ghost story at PotC. Here's the best link I could find. Someone posted one on these boards once and it was much more detailed, but I had no luck finding it. This should work though!

I really want to try the Andy's Coming thing......any one done it before at the world??

As most have said, be nice and polite, they will be nice back. Most of them have to deal with rude children/parents, while in hot costumes, and still maintain their show. Give them a break and be easy/fun to be around. They appreciate it!!

Also some of the characters will be more grownup if you don't have any kids with you, which to me makes the interaction so much funnier.

Evidently at least one person given the video.

I think that was the DL, not sure......

When we were at MK, we met Gaston outside of the tavern (with a HUGE line- he's in high demand!). We found that if we quoted the song from the movie (ex. - "I see you have biceps to spare...", etc) he immediately started making other comments in regards to the lines from the song. Probably common with him, but it was hysterical!

Also, with cast members in general, just being friendly and saying "please & thank you" goes a long way! We were in MK and saw the Mayor walking down the street, and wanted to take a picture with him. We were very friendly, and mentioned that we'd love to get a great photo op since it was our friends first time.. he walked into one of the store on Main street, came back with ears for all of us and gave them to us for free and took a picture with us! It was a great moment and a great way to start the first day!

Gaston has some of the best dialogue when we were there he said has anyone seen a beauty because I have been acting like a beast and then the bicep pose followed by the famous grin, needless to say we were in stitches.

I would love to play tag with the Princesses.

It might be taboo to write it on this forum however, The Grinch over at "that other theme park" - I told him my wife loves all things Christmas. He freaked out on her, grabbed my water bottle, and dumped it on her. We were in stitches laughing so hard.

The Grinch at Uni is awesome! I love talking characters in general, but he is one of my favorites.
Here's a video (not mine) of The Grinch @ Uni Hollywood and Jack Skellington from Disneyland taking jabs at each other across theme park boundaries. Jack Skellington jokes about how he works for a more popular park, and The Grinch jokes about how he gets paid better because he doesn't work for Disney. Pretty funny war of words.

That video was sheer brilliance. Jack and the Grinch are awesome.

On a side note, poor Max looks so miserable! I know that's the point, but still.

That video is pretty crazy. If I had to guess, its the same actor portraying both and he must have thought this through beforehand.

1. Treat them like a human being and watch them smile.
2. Ask them an intelligent question and you will get a wise response.
3. Engage them in an intelligent conversation and you will both come away with a fond memory.
4. Give them a pre-made card that says they have made your day, and you will make an instant friend.
5. Stop in at City hall and report them for something special they did for you and they will be rewarded.

As a Mom of a former CP and now a CM, thanks for that post. #5 is by far the most effective, 1-3 certainly makes their day more rewarding!

Gaston gets a little nervous whenever Beast is nearby, as you'll see toward the end of this video:

I think it's two different actors. The girl who filmed this is friends with them outside of the parks, so they probably joke about it or something.
