Characters!

working with the characters is amazing! it was so much fun today working with the different characters in animal kingdom. to start the day I worked with Flick from "its a bugs life" movie I was only with him for a few families becasue the photographer was having trouble so I just stepped in for a little while to cover till they got everything fixed.  then I got moved over to Dino land and worked with Pluto and Goofy.  I loved working with them! it was so much fun mainly because they are so playful. they like to play with the guests and dance around and since they don't talk I get to interpret for them and be their voices.  at one point there was a kid with a shark on his shirt so goofy pointed it out and started pretending to be a shark it was hilarious then later there was another kid with a shark that looked like it was about to eat you on his shirt and so goofy looked at me pointed it out and then put his hand up to the shirt where the teeth were and pulled it back shaking his hand like it was sharp and he got cut then he put his hand close again and made it seem like he lost his arm. it was so fun and the kids loved it.  while all of this was happening I was constantly moving around trying to get a good shot of the kids faces and the excitement that they showed.  one really emotionally moment was when a little kid from the make a wish foundation came in to meet goofy and pluto and both of them put their noses close to him and gave him a kiss. it was so sweet and both goofy and pluto made it a special moment for the young boy and his family.  that is what makes me love working for Disney becasue here it is all about making everyone feel special and important and making their dreams come true. after goofy and pluto I was moved over to Doug and Russell and took their pictures for a while, they were fun and liked to do things like point out the mere cats that were close by.  after that I finished up with Pocahontas and had fun watching how excited people get to meet her.
have a magical day!
