Best Questions to ask Disney Characters

In this guide we will round up all the best questions to ask Disney characters to ensure you have the best interaction with the characters. Most people I have seen meeting Disney characters at meet and greets actually spend little time actually interacting with the characters that they have often queued a long time to see. This is definitely a missed opportunity so whether you are meeting one of the classics characters like mickey Mouse or one of the villains we have you covered with the best questions to ask them to make the best character interaction.

In my opinion one of the best things to do at Disney, whether you are visiting in Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney or the original Disneyland or California Adventure is to do meet and greets with the characters.

In this guide we round up questions for Classic Characters, like Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy for instance where you will get non-verbal answers or characters who will answer back.

Please note: if you are looking for the best questions to ask Disney Princesses check out our dedicated princess post.

What Not to Ask Disney characters

Before we get onto what to ask them, first here are a few things that you should never ask or say to Disney Characters at Meet and greets

• Don’t complain about the length of the line, yes the queue to meet them has likely been long but  it’s not their fault
• Don’t complain if a character gets pulled out of rotation just before your meeting – there are very strict rules on when characters must go on break. Again it’s not their fault
• Don’t get them to try and break character – they are not allowed to break character this would ruin the magic. Don’t try to trick them into breaking character – it’s not fair.

Best Questions to Ask Classic Disney Characters

The key to finding the best questions to ask classic Disney characters is finding questions that can have an easy non-verbal response or asking them to do something with you. Another way to get a great character interaction at Disney is by wearing something with the character you are meeting on or even Disneybounding. 

As the questions you ask have to have non verbal responses there are some staple type questions that you can ask them such as;

• Where is X(Insert the name of their other half or most commonly associated character). This will normally get the non verbal characters to be quite animated. 
• Ask them to do certain poses with you for photos. For more information on best poses with Disney characters check out this post.
• Remember to ask them to sign your autograph book. This another great way to keep the interaction going and get the characters excited. 
• Ask them to dance with you or you could ask the classic characters to do the hot dog dance from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
• Ask them to give you a high five or play a game.

Best Questions to Ask Woody, Buzz and Other Toy Story Characters

Note: Despite some wild internet rumours, I can confirm that it is in fact an internet myth that if you shout “Andy’s Coming” the characters will drop to the floor. Let’s be honest if this really did happen the characters would spend more time on the floor than standing up.  

• Ask Buzz to show you his flamenco moves
• Ask if he is on Spanish mode
