Excellent question. I know of nothing special, other than I have always had pleasant interactions with all types of CMs. But I've never given a CM a hard time about anything.

1. Treat them like a human being and watch them smile.Special things you can say or do to a CM that will make a magical thing happen?
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.

If you say "Mommy", Prince John will suck his thumb and pull his ear.
Captain Hook will sword fight with invisible swords.
Back when they had Mickey's Birthdayland...Goofy played hide-n-seek in the maze with our DS (3-years old).

Rapunzel - I asked her, "where is your frog?" and it led to a comical exchange between us.
Tink - I asked her to pose back to back and put on her angry/frustrated face and this too led to a comical exchange (and some great photos)
Jafar - He wanted only to schmooz my wife and pushed me away and took her hand to walk away. After a brief comical shoving match we took a family photo. To my surprise he then put me in a headlock, tossed me aside and pantomimed that he was her champion and thus she should toss me to the curb for him. (He went on one knee and proposed)
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.
Personally, I love the character exchanges. I know a lot of people would rather have another ride built in place of a character meet, but for me the exchanges between characters can be just as fun if not more. I think what you put into a meet-and-greet you can equally get out of it. If you go in and just stand there, pose for a photo, and leave that's all you will get. The special things you can say or do to make magical moments happen, in my opinion anyway, are to just politely engage and try to be as equally entertaining.

Yell "Squirrel!" at Dug and he''ll stop and look sharply to the side.
Ask Snow White if she would like an apple and you get varying responses.

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.

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!

Wear an Alice in Wonderland shirt, and Mad Hatter and Alice will point you out of the crowd during the parade.

Ask Mary Poppins to say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious back words and she can.
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)
