CRAZY DISNEY CO-WORKER! | CAST MEMBER STORIES

[@breealvidrez9214]

I was at goofys kitchen one time and I was on my phone. And apparently goofy didn't like that because he walked up to me and hit me with a napkin 😂😂 I wasn't even mad tho it was too funny.

[@olivia_simone]

hahahaha I can just picture him doing that! That's great! And your attitude about it is great as well

[@breealvidrez9214]

Olivia Simone definitely. Who can ever be mad while at Disney!? Lol

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

LOL! Hilarious! He just wanted you to look up and take in the experience! Rather than just staring at a screen. I mean, you're at the happiest place on earth, so why not fully embrace that?

[@DragonetteEye]

So my favorite character interaction was actually a bit of an accident My mom, sister, and I were in Florida October 2016(Hurrican Matthew) and it was very hot for us. We are from New England so heat and humidity is not something we are used to dealing with in October. We had eaten at the Animal Kingdom Lodge(Dining with an animal specialist) and the food, although delicious, was very rich. I got dehydrated and nearly passed out after the meal as we were waiting in bag check at Hollywood Studios. A security guard took me over to some shade, paramedics were called, and I was deemed okay The security guard wheeled me over to first aid, which just so happens to be right next to where characters go to take their breaks in that area of the park I guess. So just as Im being wheeled to the door of first aid we see Donald and Daisy. Now, Daisy is one of my favorite characters(Ive always experienced the pleasant Daisy I guess) and I say that to the security guard, just as a little fact. He asks Donald and Daisy if they can take a few minutes to say hello to a sick princess and I just start crying because I was not expecting them to take the time to not only come say hi, but give me hugs and kisses and do their best to make me smile. After a bit of crying, and some awesome pictures taken by my mother, Donald takes my arm, helps me to stand up, and walks me into first aid And that was the best interaction I ever had And that is why I will forever love cast members

My favorite character interaction was with Buzzlightyear in MNSSHP. I was dressed like the mad hatter (Kind of... most people thought I was a leprechaun... the costume was kind of incomplete) but suddenly I come in and Buzz hugs me, he gave me a stamp... and when we were taking pictures he raised his hand as if he was having tea and signaled me to follow up. I was so happy not only because he understood my costume but because I also got a picture with Mrs. Nesbit

[@olivia_simone]

That's so amazing! What a unique experience! i'm so glad Buzz recognized your costume. also lowkey jealous you got a picture with him as Mrs. Nesbit!!

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

LOL! That's awesome! It's also awesome that he referenced the Mrs Nespit scene!

[@olivia_simone]

Thank you so much!!

[@acc5206]

These videos are so interesting to me! Daisy was the first character I ever met (just had my first trip this year! Already have my second planned for this fall) and it was amazing. She saw my “first time” pin and pointed to it and I told her not only was it my first time but she was my first character and she really did a lot of extra interactions with me and went out of her way to make it magical for me. I never cared for Daisy until then and now she is a favorite!

[@olivia_simone]

Aw yay! That sounds like such a special interaction! Love that!

[@giraffegirl3858]

Ashley C daisy was my first character to ever meet to!

[@dargonpheonixx8175]

My favourite character interaction was actually with Donald, we were stood ready to have our photo taken and he takes the Minnie Mouse hat I was wearing. Now as a little kid I found this super funny, he then proceeds to try and fit this tiny Minnie Mouse hat on his head, I think I almost died of laughter.

[@olivia_simone]

Ahhhh that's amazing!! What a fun memory!

[@suzannehunt2986]

I love how you truly care about the guest experience - I can tell you were a great Cast Member for sure!! That's so funny that this story is about Daisy because this character was my daughter's first and only creepy character interaction we've had at Disney. She was about 10 or 11, and we stumbled upon Daisy coming out from a walkway close to the back of the Emporium at Magic Kingdom and she walked over to us and acted like she wanted to pose for a picture with my daughter. Well, while I was snapping the pic, she was whispering and basically talking to herself under her breath and it really weirded my daughter out! She didn't want to meet her again until our June trip, when she was 16! This most recent meet and greet was at the front of Hollywood, so I think it's probably where you were hanging out with Daisy too, or close by anyway. Crazy Daisy!!

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my gosh!! I would be SO FREAKED OUT too! I don't blame your daughter at all for not wanting a picture with her until years later. And yep, front of hollywood studios is where I was at! She certainly is crazy.. And thanks for your kind words!

[@suzannehunt2986]

I will have to tell her your story (or better yet, show her this video), because we had never heard of any other bizarre character interaction stories, and with Daisy to boot, until now! Poor Daisy - hopefully she will be hanging out with better performers these days because she really is an adorable character!

In Disneyland California I was doing character dining and the mad hatter was talking to guy at the table next to us with his normal voice. I got scared and hid under the table

[@TheRealCGil]

It's me again....😂 My favorite character interaction is when goofy signed my goofy hat. He was fun and outgoing.

[@olivia_simone]

aw how fun!

[@sarahrogers2508]

Best interaction was with Minnie at OHana. She flirted with my middle school son and Mickey acted jealous. We carried over that interaction the next time we saw these characters on the Disney Cruise.

[@SeriouslyCreepy]

Aww adorable!

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my goodness that's so cute! I love that! Mickey and Minnie definitely enjoyed that interaction too!

[@giraffegirl3858]

Sarah Rogers I love Ohana! Such a amazing place!

[@naomip7468]

The best interaction was just a few weeks ago. My daughter is a toddler, not even two yet, and she LOVES Minnie and Mickey. We went to meet them at magic kingdom and as soon as we got to the front of the line she ran to Minnie and mickey and gave them a huge hug and kiss. They were so accommodating and gave a million hugs. When they were done my daughter went to the middle of the stage and said "YAYYYY" with her hands up in the air and the guests waiting along with Minnie and mickey threw their hands up with her! She also asked for another hug right before we left and Minnie gave it to her and then gestured her hands over her heart. Needless to say we got great pictures!

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my gosh that is precious!!!!!! i love that your family had that magical interaction!

[@emilybeanmagic]

Girl going to the parks solo is the BEST experience! You meet other people while in line and just do whatever you want! haha I hope you did that a couple times during your program!

[@olivia_simone]

Honestly, about 80% of the time i went to the parks it was by myself because none of my roommates or coworkers EVER had the same days off as me (until the last month of my program!) so I was really looking forward to going with people lol But yeah, it's great doing whatever you want in the parks!

[@johnnam1380]

Could you do a video with your best shifts ever? I'm sure there might be a lot to choose from so it might be hard to pick. This video was great!

[@olivia_simone]

That's a good idea! i'll start writing some down!

[@UphillWilDrives]

Thank you for making magical moments happen. I really enjoyed the character interaction at Epcot at the character spot with Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy. I grew up in Southern California and enjoyed Disneyland for years and years. The best part of Disney are not the rides or attractions, but the cast members. They make everything personal, magical , and wonderful. Thank you for being part of that magic. You all are the reason why I return.

[@lindsayanne5023]

One of my favorite interactions was meeting Belle! I can’t remember which park I was in when my family met her, but we are a large party. We are a party of 10 and we went to meet Princess Belle. She was so surprised with how large our party was, but she was so thrilled! She thought we brought the entire kingdom and asked the name of our kingdom. Belle thought my Dad and stepmom were the king and queen of the kingdom and my sisters were the the princesses and my brother was the prince! Belle made us feel like we were royalty and she was meeting US, as opposed to us meeting HER haha

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my gosh!! Okay I think that is the sweetest interaction I have ever heard of!!

[@carmenhogue4873]

I havent actually met the characters, just took pictures from a far. the best place is where ever i see them at. the next time i go to Disney I’m going to meet some characters.

[@olivia_simone]

Yes you should! You can schedule fast passes for certain characters to save time, and character dining is a great way to meet 4-6 characters in 90 minutes!

[@foreverlucky3412]

I love meeting the characters! Once when I was little, I was meeting Goofy and I was very shy. I've always been a really shy person so I didn't really smile too much while they were taking photos. Goofy noticed that I wasn't smiling too much, so he starts tickling me! Of course I start laughing, and they got some pictures of me smiling bigger. I love meeting characters when they have special interactions with you!

[@obnoxiousavian]

My favorite character interaction has to be from a couple of years ago when my brother proposed to my (now) sister-in-law. He proposed during breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table around Christmastime, and as we were walking out, the Fairy Godmother passed by the castle and noticed their “just engaged!” Buttons and complimented the ring and gave her congratulations to them

[@olivia_simone]

oh my gosh what a magical memory!

[@valeriereinhard2790]

Just discovered your channel, and it’s so fun, thank you! One of my favorite character interactions was with Eeyore. We had just gone through seeing Pooh and Tigger, and Eeyore was our last stop. My bigger kids got their hugs, and the attendant was ushering us aside. My 9-month-old baby still wanted to see Eeyore, and he caught that. He followed us over, came and held her hands, and whistled a sweet tune to her. She got to pet him and hug his nose, and was so happy. It was so sweet, and those two extra minutes were priceless. No pictures, because it surprised us, but I’ll never forget how happy that made my baby!

[@olivia_simone]

oh my gosh that makes my heart so warm!!! That sounds like such a magical experience!!

[@lily-rosewilliamson4649]

This is one of my favourite character interactions. When I was about four, me and my family were in blizzard beach. We met goofy and he gave me a hug and then he walked around blizzard beach with us for a while. It was so magical and even though it was nearly 10 years ago now I still remember it x

[@olivia_simone]

[@rachaelbaldwin2279]

my favorite character interaction was probably a few years ago when we went to the garden grill for dinner and met chip and dale. my dad has a full tattoo sleeve on his arm, so chip took the napkin off the table and started trying to clean the tattoos off of his arm. he then went and got a spray bottle and towel from a janitor or something and tried with those to clean the tattoos off of his arm (he never sprayed my dad or anything dw) and it was hilarious and had our whole family cracking up.

My favorite character interaction was with Chewie! I was wearing a storm troopers shirt, which he didn't like, so he put me in the corner while he interacted with my fiance and then hugged me into him so you couldn't see my shirt in the picture. We also got to meet the toy soldiers from Toy Story that day and while it was a quick interaction, it was so fun because we had never seen them before!

[@SuperTiff1980]

I've only been to Disneyland & California Adventure. My favorite interactions: our first visit I think I would have to say Tinkerbell because of how she was playfully picking on my son. My daughter was in awe, Tink was her favorite at the time. Anyway my son was acting like he didn't want anything to do with the fairies and was sort of trying to hide. I guess Tink realized what he was doing, so she started picking on him and making him laugh. We had a blast with Chip and Dale in the park and at our character dining. Our 2nd visit: Pluto and Stitch. Pluto was being more goofy than Goofy lol. He was so much fun. Stitch is a family favorite and the only place we could see him was character dining. My daughter had gotten a baby Stitch and I had gotten a Stitch hat. When he came to our table he picked up the baby Stitch, cradled it and started swaying. I had the hat on and he sort of put his chin on my head. Just curious, have you met Brian Hull? He does impressions of characters and likes to go to Disney parks and do impressions when meeting characters? I ask because I watched his videos and Donald's reaction cracks me up every time Brian meets Donald.

[@olivia_simone]

Awwww those all sound like magical interactions! I love that!! And I'm not sure if I've met Brian! I've definitely seen his videos before and I agree he's great

[@ddivincenzo1]

Daisy is my favorite. Donald has a mean streak and she gives it right back. Mickey and Minnie are too perfect. The Daze is my kind!

[@sarahelkins2357]

My favorite character interaction was definitely Chip and Dale at AK in 2015 :) They were so sweet, it was my first trip to WDW and the characters were nice enough to dance with me, pose for pictures and give me an overall great experience on my birthday trip!

[@olivia_simone]

Aw that's so great! Chip and Dale are so fun!

[@Thefinalgrrrl]

I just found your channel and I'm over the moon! I recall 2 favorite interactions, although both happened at Disneyland & Disney California Adventure: 1. Ariel is my favorite princess, so when I met her for the 1st time ever I remember getting super duper excited, I felt like a 10 year old all over again. I told her she was the best princess ever and admired her courage to not settle for anything less than what she dreamed of being. We engaged in this very beautiful conversation that I still remember to this day when I'm feeling down and it truly helps. As I was saying goodbye to her, she said "fellow princess, do you think it'd be too much too ask If you'd bring me a dinglehopper next time you pay me a visit? I lost mine!". 2. Daisy! Ha, but got the sweet Cali version :P it was my birthday and I saw Daisy walking along with another Cast Member. I asked her where was Daisy going to be available for photos, and she said "right this way, would you like to join us?", I've never walked with a character before, it was soooooo magical

[@olivia_simone]

KZbin just recommended your channel...so random person here, lol...I was an attendant in 2007 (Spring Dcp)...saw your other video first, AND OMG YESSS... I know all of what you are saying!! I despised breakers because they acted high and mighty but totally weren't! I had my bad days, too (mostly Magic Kingdom) but I wouldn't trade my experience for anything. I look forward to more videos of your experience!!! Also...back in my day, it was up to 2 hours for a 1/2 pt...I once was an hour and a half late because I woke up late. The base actually called and that's when I woke up. I hated the location anyways (DAK), so I took my time...even got breakfast ;)

[@juliehsunflower]

I haven't really been interested in meeting characters the last few trips (definitely Mickey though!) A few years ago, I did decide that I'd like to meet Baymax from Big Hero 6 because I really enjoyed the movie. Oh my goodness he was so amazing! The line literally had maybe one or two familys which is one of the reasons we decided to meet him. I had on a BB-8 hat that he tried to work by pressing the buttons and it was so awesome. I definitely want to start meeting more characters when we go in April this year! By the way I love your channel!

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my gosh, LOVE THIS!!! Baymax is so great! I'm so glad you had that experience! And remember, for certain characters you can book fast passes, so if the wait time is an issue, consider booking one of those! Thanks so much for watching

[@lemoniilimes5577]

My favourite character interaction was tigger who out of all the children around multiple younger than me he took me arm in arm and walked to the whinnie the Pooh ride which was around a 6 minute walk. I still think back at how amazing it was bouncing like I was 6 again

[@olivia_simone]

[@kiddomoroll]

Tbh when I visit the parks meeting the characters are the best!! I think one of my favorite places to meet characters is on Main Street. Right when you enter there's someone waiting for you (last time I went it was Stitch). Pretty great way to start the day if you ask me :3

[@olivia_simone]

i always love those character interactions on Main Street as well! When I was there, Minnie would meet until 10:30 with Pluto, and then Stitch came out and took her spot once Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire started!

Not a story, but... My favorite character experience was my first one with Mickey Mouse in what used to be Mickey’s Birthdayland. I was in my 30’s. They used to have a location inside a building next to the gift-shop where you could meet him. I was so excited and turned into a gleeful child again. Mickey gave me a kiss too :). Funny how the Disney magic turns us into children. I am really enjoying hearing about your experiences. I am a former CM. I retired with 30 years last year, but other than cross U’s, and a few extra hours, I did not have much guest interactions, so your stories are fun to hear about, except for your bad experiences. Thank you for sharing them!

[@olivia_simone]

Awww oh my gosh I LOVE that!! That sounds like such a magical experience! And wow that awesome! I bet you have plenty of stories yourself!

[@Outtacontextouttatime]

My favorite character interaction was Caballeros Donald at the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot. I told Donald that I found out he was here in Mexico and I ran over to meet him because he was my favorite. He stoped and got so excited, then signed my autograph book and wrote “Your my favorite caballero, Donald Duck #1” it truly made me feel so special and he will always be my favorite!

[@olivia_simone]

Aw that sounds like such a magical interaction! I love it!

[@allie4680]

I loved meeting Anna and Elsa 😍 They were in a cute little cottage in Norway ;) Plus there was only like a 2 minutes wait that night

[@olivia_simone]

Yes! Love love LOVE meeting Anna and Elsa at Summerhus! It's usually about a 15 minute wait when I'm there but that's still 100% worth it!

[@lolibud101]

my favourite interaction was definitely Pluto near the entrance of MK. I am extremely shy and it took a lot of courage for me to wait in the queue by myself to meet him. Especially being 21 I was afraid people would think I am being stupid and taking opportunities from younger guests. I waited and even though I didn't say a word throughout the whole interaction (I'm too shy and awkward omg) he made me feel so special right from the first second. he gave me the biggest hug and played with my ears, made me kiss his nose and really took time to take a few really good pictures. It made me feel so special and I will remember that feeling forever. My picture with him is now framed on my wall :)

Different circumstances - but there are just days - that from start to finish - for some reason - that makes you wonder - 'Why did I even get out of bed'. hahaha " - ) Looking forward to your next presentation!! I have always held high regard for the individuals who work in costumes and realize how enormously difficult it has to be - but now - I have a even better representation from watching your Vlogs and now I always make certain after a meet and greet photo event - I say thank you and that I appreciate them being there!

[@olivia_simone]

Thanks so much for your comment! I appreciate your support!

I went to Disneyland for my bachelorette weekend, and my family gave me guff about it and make the joke about finding "Chip n' Dale Dancers." Soooo I found Chip, and mentioned that to him. He then proceeded to do a belly dance and pose for pictures.

[@olivia_simone]

😂😂😂 That's hilarious!! hahahaha

[@caitykitola]

Swear to goodness, it was Christmas time, so he had the sweater on. I have a picture of him flashing the camera. XD

[@olivia_simone]

caitykitola oh my gosh I would have DIED 😂😂😂 that's amazing 😂

[@caljones]

This whole thing is hysterical

[@ZRatchet2]

Just came across your channel (I know I'm a bit late!), love your stories! :) My favorite interactions were, funnily enough, within the same visit to California Adventure Park just last month! I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan - it's my favorite series of all time - so I always try to wear something KH-related when I visit the parks, especially since I wish Disney would represent the series more. So it always makes my day when guests come up to me and tell me they love the series too, or when a cast member so much as acknowledges it. Meanwhile, my brother loves Black Panther and went in a BP t-shirt; I was in a KH t-shirt with the main character Sora on it. We waited about 1.5 hours in line to meet Black Panther, and unfortunately he had to go for lunch JUST when we got to the front of the line. But I don't regret it at all! The line attendant, it turns out, loved KH too. And he, my brother and I spent almost the entire lunch hour just chatting about our love for the series and for Marvel comics. He had a grin on his face the whole time, as did we. Disney cast members have my undying respect, in and out of costume. Later into the day, we met Nick and Judy from Zootopia. Nick pointed at my brother's t-shirt and then made a Black Panther claw stance, which was adorable. I thought that'd be it and was about to pose for our picture... but then he pointed at my t-shirt and made a stance like he was summoning Sora's Keyblade! His attendant was making jokes about how maybe Nick can be in KH4 when it comes out 30 years from now. One of the happiest moments of my life.

[@olivia_simone]

Aw I love that! Magical memories are my favorite!!

[@j.j.6823]

Thank you for sharing! I love all of your stories. I'm sorry that you had such an annoying experience that day with trying to contend with Daisy's antics and being blind in one eye. (I know all too well how annoying contacts (or lack thereof) can be). Favorite character interactions, huh? I've had quite a few really good ones tbh. Probably the time I was detained by stormtroopers was the best. lol

[@olivia_simone]

Wow, new life goal: be detained by storm troopers!

[@isabellapower1869]

I'm new to this channel and I love Disney. Watching these videos have inspired me to work at Disney. Of course when i'm old enough to work there.

[@olivia_simone]

Thanks for commenting on my live stream so much tonight!

[@isabellapower1869]

No problem Olivia! I love you so much! ¡

[@flaviawalter745]

Didn't the character attendant say something? Or complain to a manager? Bad enough how she interacted with you, but I'm sure Disney is not OK with how she interacted with guests...our manager would have been so angry!

[@SeriouslyCreepy]

Right, who knows how people react!

[@olivia_simone]

The attendant seemed confused too but I guess wasn't as bothered as i was!!

[@flaviawalter745]

He/she may have been there with this girl before...

[@olivia_simone]

That's very true, didn't think about that!

[@HannahSnickers]

Awe you’re lovely! You make me wanna tell my stories about working at Disney I miss it haha. Did you ever meet Dakota Bricker? Loved him. He was usually friends with goofy!!

[@olivia_simone]

Aw thank you! and girl, you should! Oohhh... the name sounds SO familiar but I'm not sure!

[@jianxiongRaven]

Love about people talking about thier experience , very interesting :)

[@olivia_simone]

I LOVE watching people's work stories! Whether it's Sephora, Kohls, disney - I'm hooked! haha thanks so much for watching :)

[@danstrong750]

Yay a Disney channel is much better, but have still enjoyed all your content, have subscribed since you started xx

[@olivia_simone]

Yeah, I think it was time to accept that most subscribers enjoy disney content the most! I appreciate your support!

[@jennifergrosky]

I was in Disneyland and getting autographs from some of the less active characters that day. I happened to find the Queen of hearts and I bowed to her. It made my day how she enjoyed it.

[@olivia_simone]

oh my gosh that's so awesome!! Love that interaction story!

[@zacharyparsons7144]

When I first went to Disneyland, I was 12. My favorite character interaction was when I was getting an autograph from Goofy. Omg! It was so hilarious! He was acting like he was giving my pen back to me. When I went to grab it, he'd move his hand. I'd try again, and he'd do it again. And again. 🤣😆 About 5 times he was playing keep away with the pen. Everyone, including me thought that was the best thing ever! He eventually gave it back. Lol. I miss going to Disneyland. That was sooo fun!

[@elainecustodio9925]

Love your videos :) My favorite character interaction has got to be the Incredibles! They're usually upbeat and caring. I have this great picture of Frozone, Mr. Incredible and I just cracking up about something, probably my favorite picture with a character. Oh, wait. But then there's Woody. I have such a HUGE crush on him. I remember once we were wearing the same boots and he got super excited, lol.

[@olivia_simone]

Thanks so much! and oh my gosh the Incredibles are the BEST!!! Love them! Aw that's awesome Woody pointed out your boots!

[@VerchielxKanda]

I'm so sorry you had such a horrible day!! Glad you had a restful day off!! =)

[@olivia_simone]

Thank you so much!

[@freddyantonio9179]

Awesome storytimes, you're so sweet I wouldn't be surprised if Disney contacts you to work for them again! Subbed

[@jamesscully9706]

I always thought working at Disney World was a very strict, no-nonsense, once in a lifetime opportunity. I was always too afraid to even consider working for them out of respect. That being said, I’m shocked by Daisy’s antics here. I always assumed you’d just get fired right away if you did anything wrong more than 1 time since so many people want to work there. Crazy stuff. Also, I wish I could come home after work and be like “So Daisy was being mean to Donald and then the stormtroopers marched down the street.” Sounds so awesome, but I’m sure it was so stressful actually being there. Great videos!

[@olivia_simone]

I was always scared because I too thought I could be fired at any moment for any slip up! But yeah it was pretty awesome getting to watch stormtroopers all day at work lol

[@ILoveLyricsGirl22]

I got really excited when you said Daisy Duck but then I realized you work the Florida location and my childhood best friend works the California location.

[@olivia_simone]

Oh no way! That's so cool!

[@aeternanova]

Oh no, whats wrong with some people? Love how you how you care for the guests. Be safe!

[@olivia_simone]

Thank you!

[@kioku119]

When little I once got to play jump rope with Bonkers using Marsupilami's tail. That was cool.

[@olivia_simone]

oh I don't know who they are!

[@sarahlang3462]

I love your videos!!❤️❤️ You should do a video on tips and tricks for wanting to work for Disney. Or have a video on what to expect when auditioning.

[@olivia_simone]

I have a couple of audition videos actually! But that's a good idea! I'll jot that down!

[@rileynicole7001]

I’ve only been to Disney World once and it was this past summer I’m 14 years old and is still obsessed with Rapunzel😂 I was so excited to get to meet her and I finally got to meet her after standing in a 10 minute line which isn’t that bad I was just so excited and I started crying so hard when I met her because I was so excited and she got so sad because I was crying and like everyone started tearing up and it was the sweetest thing but also embarrassing looking back because I was bawling because I met Rapunzel

[@olivia_simone]

awww! that's so relatable though! When I met TInkerbell for the first time I was starstruck!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

My kids love meeting the characters! Good stories!

[@olivia_simone]

Yay! i'm so glad! thank you so much!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Olivia Simone I’m new to the KZbin community and loving all the Disney stuff I’ve discovered already :) I wonder if we ever met you!

[@olivia_simone]

There's so much Disney content on here, it's great! And maybe! If you were there from September - December 2016 it's a definite possibility!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Olivia Simone we totally might have! Had annual passes then :) I started posting all our recent meet and greets on here but not the older ones yet.

[@olivia_simone]

Oh that's awesome! i'll have to check them out!

[@dustycoward7615]

My favorite character interaction I ever had was I was 16 went to Disney World. I had on my favorite college team’s hat (Mississippi State). Went to take my picture with Baloo who is one of my all time favorites. I walked up and Baloo went nuts over my hat. He even took it off my head and put it on his head for the picture. I assume he was doing the college program and must have attended college there. It was a really cool moment for a 16 year old kid who was nervous about if he was too big to do character meets

[@robs7229]

Love your Disney Story's!!!!!!! They are awesome!!!!!

[@olivia_simone]

thanks so much!

[@morganbean9825]

I am a woman from Texas who wants to be a Disney character but unfortunately due to travel restrictions I can't. so I'm living vicariously through your videos lol

[@nessierey6721]

Just found your channel but here to stay! You’re adorable!! 💕🤗😍 My favorite character interactions were with Baloo and Snow. Although meeting Belle is always my favorite as well since she’s my favorite princess. So with Baloo this one time I had met him for the first time in like over ten years and I told him as such and that I was so excited to see him. And then he got really excited and hugged me again and then he just took my hand and showed the attendant and she goes: „Yeah you’re right Baloo, she doesn’t have a ring so maybe she doesn’t have a boyfriend“ at the time I was single so I told them I didn’t and Baloo got real excited and the attendant kinda translated what he was saying „Yeah so maybe you could be her boyfriend“ and I totally played along and was like „yeah sure! Why not?“ then he got even more excited and took my hand and kinda started walking off with me but then the character attendant stopped him and was like „No Baloo you can’t just take her with you to the Jungle tho“ it was so funny. Idk. Then like three years later I meet Baloo again and my friend and I tell him this story and he was so excited. I think Baloo‘s friend was just about to leave for his break and left for his break after meeting us, and I hope Baloo and his friend remember that too or at least had them leave for break with a nice feeling. The character interaction with Snow was at Dining. In Disneyland Paris at the Auberge de Cendrillon. Which makes it even more special as I know that can be quite stressful for character performers as their time with the character they’re hanging out with and the guests is limited and they need to be efficient. But so Snow comes over to us and talks to us for a moment before she leaves to talk to the guests her friend is supposed to, then we have our actual interaction with her a little bit later, she came right back to us and I thanked her for it and we talked about the dwarves and her prince and took our pictures. And she seemed to really enjoy talking to us - mind you we were all adults in our early twenties (me and my friends Alessandro and Raphael they’re twins). And after we‘d met all of the other characters we were having our desserts and then she came over to our table again even though she and her friend should’ve been getting their well deserved break. But instead she came back to chat to us and we figured out what our dwarfnames should be. It was so lovely. We‘ll never forget that. I wish I could tell Snow‘s friend that she made our day that day.

[@olivia_simone]

Oh my gosh I love those interactions! 😭😭😭 Thank you so much for sharing them! gosh I love that Baloo story!

[@britneybrown]

just found the channel ,your awesome Olivia keep it up!

[@olivia_simone]

Yay! Glad you found me! Thanks so much and thanks for watching!

[@bomitalia3588]

I love mickey every time I go to Disney I go to see him at Epcot but can't just go and say hi oh no need to talk to him using the mickey voice but funny that minni gives the best reaction everytime

[@olivia_simone]

aw how fun!!

[@kabenno]

I once had a character encounter with Stitch over at one of the Disneyland hotels in Anaheim. I was at one of the diners at breakfast time and I got to dance with Stitch and some other kids. It was fun.

[@olivia_simone]

awww that sounds so magical!

[@muppetfreak1000]

I watched the first video I love your videos and omg you got to play Donald he’s my favorite next to Mickey I have the utmost respect for you and how hard you work under pressure you are such a sweetheart I can’t wait to hear more

[@olivia_simone]

I appreciate that! I had no idea how hard of a job it was until I was doing it 50 hours a week.. Thank you for watching my videos!

[@muppetfreak1000]

Olivia Simone Your welcome 😊

[@ddivincenzo1]

You guys really work so hard and put up with so much. I have been to both WDW and DL several times and always do meet and greets. I was in Anaheim last Oct. and the cast members at Disney Land and Cal. Adventure were fantastic. The only creepy thing that happened to me was upon exiting Pirates of the Caribbean. This guy came up behind me in a throng of people and grabbed my butt!!! He disappeared before I could react (I had to hold my mom back from doing the same to him, though). My sister said that the best thing to have done would be to have run ahead and snapped a picture to supply to security. I consider Disney Land a family park and was shocked.

[@purpleserpent]

I miss Disney. I remember going there for the first time and it was an amazing experience! I remember going to Tony's restaurant from Lady and the tramp and I wanted spaghetti and my mom asked the waitress if there were carrots in the sauce. (I'm allergic to carrots) anyway so the waitress goes to ask the chef and comes back out saying "yes there are carrots in the sauce but the chef is making a special sauce for your daughter" it was so nice!

[@olivia_simone]

I love how well they take care of their guests!! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time!

[@purpleserpent]

@@olivia_simone wow! Thank you very much for replying! I love your videos!

[@Curlzi]

I love these stories

[@SapphicFaerie92]

Love your videos! I did the dcp in entertainment in 2013 and then worked at Universal as a character performer until last year and now I work at Cedar Point and I hang out with the Peanut's Gang! I love hearing all of your character interaction stories, it helps me remember all of my memories! :)

[@olivia_simone]

Thank you! And wow, look at you go girl! That's so awesome! I'm sure you've had quite the share of guest experiences yourself!!

[@SapphicFaerie92]

Olivia Simone No problem! Haha thanks! I’m planning on moving back down to Orlando in the fall and hopefully finally getting into performing at Disney! I’ve auditioned over 17 times and I got put in the pool 12 times so hopefully it’ll work out! Oh yeah I have some crazy ones! I also did Halloween Horror Nights and the Macy’s Christmas parade at Universal so I have some great ones and some awful ones!

[@olivia_simone]

Wow well good luck! I feel like with all your experience you'll find a job easily!

[@SapphicFaerie92]

Olivia Simone Thanks!! I hope so!

[@AnAspiesPOV]

in Jan 2012, I had a private meet and greet with Donald and Daisy. totally unplanned but we were waiting for the ASL interpreters to come to Animations for the show and it was raining outside so no one was there. Daisy had always been my favorite character and she spoke ASL! We (Donald, Daisy, and I) had so much fun and played around. We were the only ones in the building. We posed for tons of pictures and had an amazing time. It literally MADE my trip!

[@cozytanooki]

Little late but the best disney interaction I've had was in Paris, I just bought a stitch backpack and while walking towards the castle I spotted Stitch doing meet&greets. I went with my friend to wait in line (my friend got a stitch plushie) and once it was our turn Stitch stole her plushie and acted like it was his child. I felt a little left behind so I shyly poked him and he started hugging me and holding me close and i think he kept trying to "kiss" the stitch hood. He wouldnt let go of me at all and I couldnt stop laughing. Stitch is one of my favourites so that day was truly a magical one.

[@olivia_simone]

Aw that sounds like such a fun interaction!!! I love that! Thanks for sharing :)
