What a bunch of characters!!

For most of the trip, Owen wasn't thrilled with the idea of seeing characters.  We urged him to see ones we knew he really wanted to, like Buzz, and he tolerated them, but they weren't his favorite part, by any means. 

Until the very last day, of course.  If you look back at his face with the few characters we saw earlier in the week with his face with the characters on the last day, it's obvious.  Lil' turkey!!  We were SHOCKED when he specifically asked if we could see Goofy.  We'd kind of moved past waiting in line to see characters...we did a few for him, and the girls would rather ride rides, so when he asked, it was a bit of a shock.  Time to shift gears...

We waited to see Goofy....


...then we saw the spot where Pooh and friends were hiding out, so we checked them out too! 


(check out the hands behind the back...what's his stance say here?  Apprehensive?  Nervous?  In awe?  In anticipation?  Eager?)


Natalie was in charge of keeping the autograph books straight.  We used ours from Disneyland in 2002 and the one we used in Disney World in 2004.  She wrote the dates in so we'd know which signature was from which trip.  :)




Oh yeah...he's comfortable with them now, alright!  ;)


(The fact that they can sign like they do is amazing to me!)  :)




Then we get to Tigger, and Natalie hands him her book...and then hands him Owen's...


...which didn't set so well with O-man.  He didn't throw a huge fit or anything, just a, "Hey!  I wanted to give him mine!"

I didn't think anything about it...I could tell he wasn't going to persist...but Tigger picked up on it, and promptly gave it back to him, so Owen could give him his own book!  Here, Tigger is giving it back to Owen, and you can tell by the look on Owen's face...that was NOT what he was expecting.  :)




Ol' Tigger's a pretty good guy!  :)
