I was talking to a cast member on the phone today when he stopped and said "Hey Buddy". Sounded like a friend had walked in and then there were some murmurs in the background. Mickey Mouse had walked up and tapped him on the shoulder. One more reason to love Disney!

I might have been more impressed if it was Cinderella.
You do know that Disney isn't real, right?

Have you met Talking Mickey in person? I'm pretty certain he's real after that encounter. He even spoke Portuguese to the family in front of us. You should have seen the smiles on their faces. And my 8yo found herself speechless for the first time in her life.

I remember our first visit with talking Mickey - non of us knew that was going to happen and it took a minute to realize he was talking to us. DD 9 at the time was freaked out about it and has never wanted to go back.

Was this post meant for a different forum? DisBoards, maybe?

Last I checked this is the "TUG Lounge", where any topic can be discussed (within the rules of the board). Since we don't have a specific Disney board here, seems appropriate to me. Do you feel otherwise?

I've never seen a talking Mickey. Do they have them in the parks?

I don't object to the post, just the way it was worded didn't seem to fit TUG, that's all. Sure, let's talk about Mickey Mouse! I don't care.

Yes. I have an absolutely adorable video of a meet and greet with Mickey and my son from last Christmas at WDW. He was six and acting like he didn't care about meet and greets but this one he really lit up and gave Mickey a great big hug.

Here is a video I found on YouTube of a special meet and greet. You can see Mickey talking. I don't know these people, just found the video on youtube and thought it was cute:

I see VegasBella's point. The post is missing an introduction. It starts out, "I was talking to a cast member..." I remember thinking, "Cast member of what, Big Bang Theory?" Had it been posted in a DisBoard, the context would've been obvious.

Editorial issues aside, I think its cute that someone could get so worked up over over a phone conversation. But I'm also curious about purpose of the call.

I was calling to add free dining to a Disney World stay. I'm going to go tour some of the Disney Vacation Club resorts. I know I could rent points to stay at one of those resorts but I've got a good rate plus the free dining at one of the hotels. Sorry for any confusion on the original post.

The Mouse is real. We loved all the Disney characters at their theme parks and on their cruises ships.

The OP is a guest on this web site and I feel they are just happy going to a Disney theme resort having dinner with Disney theme characters.
