Have had lots of good interactions but one was really special. DS1 (adult), who is the one who LOVES characters, is disabled and loves to meet Gaston. One visit Gaston asked if he had visited his tavern. Since DS doesn't really speak conversationally, I said yes. He then grabbed arms with DS and they walked off for the tavern. I didn't want to turn around since I just knew everyone was glaring that we were eating up time. We went inside the tavern to the room with the fireplace and his chair. He told a man sitting in the chair to get up. He told DS to sit down. Then very loudly to a hushed tavern he told everyone that whenever Master B was visiting that this would be his chair for him to use. The photographer followed and had some great shots. DS was so excited. It was really cool. Hopefully those in line behind us were okay with it ...
I forgot he even flexed muscles with him ...

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing that! I always find it amazing when villains or characters like Gaston--not exactly "sweet"--figure out a way to interact with kids who like them, even if they're not meant to be "liked." I always worried about the villains being mean to DD when she wanted to be nice to them, and we never had a bad experience.
