Greetings, Hugh, and welcome to planDisney! Interacting with Disney Characters is such a fun part of visiting the Happiest Place on Earth. I especially love stopping by the
Fantasy Faire area and seeing which royal friends I may encounter.
Hugh, there are a few things to keep in mind when visiting with Characters at the Disneyland Resort. Typically, you will have enough time to give a greeting and take a photo or get a signature. In my experience, visits are always sweet and memorable, but on the shorter side. That's so Characters can meet with other Guests who are waiting. You may not have enough time to show multiple drawings. Perhaps you can pick your favorite?
Also, Flynn Rider is always going on adventures. Even at Disneyland, he may be roaming from one spot to the next and might not be able to stop for a chat. That said, there have been times when I've seen him and Rapunzel meeting with Guests at a spot just outside of
Royal Hall. Check the
Disneyland mobile app while you're at the park to see when and where you might find them.
One final thing to consider, Hugh, is that flags and banners are not allowed inside the theme parks according to the
property rules. Depending on the size of your posters, they could potentially be considered as banners. If security decides they should not be allowed into the park, you will likely need to bring them back to your car or hotel room. It would be a Bibbidi Bobbidi Bummer for your trip to start out that way.
Hugh, have you seen the Tangled performance at
Royal Theatre? My kids and I love taking a break there to see witty reenactments of Rapunzel's story. While you are in the area, see if you can find the Flynn Ryder "wanted" poster!
And, if you enjoy drawing, make sure to stop in
Animation Academy next time you're at California Adventure. It's one of my favorite places to take a break. Talented animators lead drawing sessions and provide step-by-step instructions to illustrate popular Disney Characters. I love saving my sketches and adding them to a book at home. I've seen Rapunzel's pal Pascal on the schedule before. Give it a try if you haven't yet!
Hugh, I hope your next visit to the Disneyland Resort is filled with special moments and a sense of adventure! Please reach out if you have any other questions. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
