Nice photos, hooker!
This really isn't going to go away, is it?
never once saw that many of them wandering around accesible to the public,
Actually, my best friend (she's the one with the short curly hair in the Disney shots) worked for Disney before coming to college, and she's back down there right now playing Chip, Dale, Pooh, Figment... and some other characters. She knew exactly where to find them. She knows as much about Disney as I do about Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.
We also went to Chef Mickey's the first night and got a lot of photos. So, any time it's a character in an apron, that was at the restaurant. But there's supposed to be markings on the map that tell you where character corners are. I actually have a lot of other pictures with different characters, but I took most of them out.
We were surprised by Robin Hood and a few other characters at the animal kingdom. We were sitting outside the park, eating lunch and getting ready to head to Magic kingdom, when Robin Hood and others walked out. All three of us dropped our food, grabbed our cameras and autograph books and ran to the characters. We left our purses behind and everything. "Robin Hood" was my favorite movie growing up... and I was excited as a six year old to see him.
It was fun acting like a kid again.
