Hello Ian and thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with such a fun question. Plus I must say that it's always an additional pleasure for me as the current British Panelist to offer some assistance to a fellow Guest from the United Kingdom and this is especially so when they hail from my neighbouring county of Devon!
I believe the talking Mickey Mouse videos you may have seen online were from back when Guests could meet the truly marvellous magician Mickey who had the
magical ability to converse with Guests as they met and interacted with him. Although talking Mickey was only offered for a limited time Guests can certainly still meet the Big Cheese himself at
Meet Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theatre where he communicates through lots of welcoming hugs!
As an alternative I've seen many similar videos online from
Disney Princesses at Walt Disney World Resort who I'm sure would be delighted to make a pixie dusted appearance in a short fun video during a meet & greet experience.
In the past when my own children were younger I found creating personalised letters from beloved Disney characters to be a cute thing to make as 'Disney holiday reveals' - lots of ideas and templates can be found by searching online via websites such as
Pinterest.
I also thought you may find these
FREE Holiday Planning Tools to be a useful resource for your upcoming jolly holiday to the magic of Walt Disney World Resort.
Have a great Disney day.
~ Jane
