We made it to the breakfast and while Addie was enjoying her plate of fruit and Mickey Mouse shaped waffles, none other than the real Mickey came up behind her. This was the moment we had been waiting for. This was going to make all of our saving and preparing worth it...
Mmmm... not so much.
We tried our best to comfort her after that incident, and while she did manage to warm up to some of the characters, she wanted to stay about an arm's length away from them at all times.
Eventually, we got to the point where Addie gave a few high fives and blew some kisses.
I have to say, Pluto won the award for taking the most time with Addie and trying the hardest to get her to relax and feel comfortable around him. Good dog.

Addie did well with Pluto because of her time around Eddie. So you have us and Eddie to thank for that!!!!
Quite possibly true! I think I also felt a strong connection with Pluto due to the old Doogan doll... They could have been twins!
Having done time inside big-head characters, I hafta concur: the less "person-like" your costume, the better reception you receive. Also true for the less dressed you are - which is weird. I guess when you're not wearing a shirt, you seem more like a stuffed animal come-to-life rather than some creepy, giant-faced person.
As Cat-in-the-Hat, I mostly posed for pictures & got high-fived. All he wears is a tophat & bowtie but it made a difference as he was met with more terror than Curious George. Kids LOVED George. Oddly enough, adults respected him less. I got wacked in the face a lot more as George. Go figure!
Lovin' your blog, coz. <3
So interesting... Who knew there was almost a science for character costumes? Bless you for doing that, my dear. I'm sure you were one of the greats!
