The A-Z of Character Meet and Greets! - The Letter C


C is for...

Chip of course! Obviously he always comes with his brother Dale. I got to meet them in their cute Western gear in Magic Kingdom in 2016. I managed to find a picture of just me and Chip! I also met them when I was 6 but I can only find a photo of me with Dale!


Cinderella I got to meet twice in 2016. Once at Akershus Breakfast in Epcot and then again at the 1900 Park Dare Dinner. She was lovely, very gracious and poised both times. These were also 2 of my favourite dining experiences!

The A-Z of Character Meet and Greets! - The Letter B


B is for...

Baloo! I have met Baloo twice in Disney World. Once in Animal Kingdom when I was 6 and then again in Animal Kingdom in 2016. He is always a fun character to meet!



Baymax is a character I never thought I'd get to meet. And to be honest I was so nervous about popping him! But it was fun nonetheless.

Brer Bear and Brer Fox I met both at the same time so I will stick them together! I have only met them or even seen them once, when I was 6 in Magic Kingdom! But they were a lot of fun, they picked me up and were playing with my hair!


Buzz Lightyear I have met twice. Once when I was 6 in Hollywood Studios and then in 2016 in Magic Kingdom!




The Beast was my most anticipated meet and greet ever! I was determined to go to Be Our Guest in my Beauty and the Beast dress and get my photo taken with him!


Belle was another princess that i had never met until 2016. We had a breakfast meet and greet with her at Akershus in Epcot.



Big Al is one of the more rare characters I have met. I was sat having a break on a bench in Disneyland Paris in 2009 and out walked a lot of random characters. I was gobsmacked, as I was the only one sitting there they flocked over. Big Al was one of them. I recognised him as a Country Bear but had no idea what he was called till later.



I have met Betty Boop twice in Islands of Adventure. She is always fun to get a cute pouty picture with. Met her in 2012 and 2016. 



I am not entirely sure of his name but for the purpose of this I am calling him Bubba Gump Shrimp! I didn't even know he existed until we spotted him on the way out of Universal Citywalk in 2016. We had to get a photo!


Bart Simpson, he wasn't as fun to meet as his Dad Homer, however he is still another character to add to my repertoire. 



Bullwinkle is a character I believe isn't available for meets anymore, I doubt many kids will even know who he is. But I enjoyed meeting him when I was 6 in Islands of Adventure. 


This character I am naming Blue Fish for the purpose of this blog post, as he is a generic Blue Fish I met in the Spongebob parade! But he was awesome!


Took me a while to figure out which dwarf this ws, but apparently it's Bashful! I loved meeting dwarves, as I was only 3 and Snow White was my favourite movie ever! We were sat in Disneyland Paris and all of the dwarves just walked out in a line! It was magical!

The A=Z Of Character Meet and Greets! - The Letter A

I love meeting characters at theme parks, obviously mostly Disney parks, however I also love Universal Studios and a couple of others that do character meets.I figured it would be a fabulous idea to record all of my character meet and greets here on my blog. I am hoping to keep adding to it as I meet more characters. So in an alphabetised format, as Peter Pan would say:Heeeeeere weeeee gooooo!

A is for....

Ariel. I have met Ariel three times now, all in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The first time I met her I was 6 and had so much fun entering her grotto. I then met her again in 2016 with my friends in her newer version of her grotto. Then again in 2017, we met her in Akershus in Epcot at the breakfast character dining, which was superb. Each time she was very interactive and one of my favourites to meet.







Aurora. I was excited to meet Aurora at Akershus as she is a princess I quite often portray in my job and she has since become one of my favourites. She also said she loved my phone case which was the Vogue cover of Aurora!


Anastasia. She was a very funny character to meet! I got to meet her at the 1900 Park Fare Cinderella Dinner. She commented on our ears and interrupted us at the table to ask if we were discussing cheese! She taught me how to pose "proper" as she called it!


Aladdin is another character who I have met a few times, ranging from Disney World to Disneyland Paris, and at all different ages. He was actually probably one of the first characters I met when I was 3 in DLP. He kissed my hand and I thought he was amazing!









Alice is one of my all-time favourite characters so I was excited to get to meet her at 1900 Park Fare for breakfast. It is my dream to get to play Alice.


Anna was very funny. She loved my ears and even did a special little message for my friend Meryn, which i thought was really sweet. She was one of my favourite characters to chat to!
