KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Sully

This picture was taken quite some time ago, back before Chad even had three children.  We think it was sometime during the 50th Anniversary Celebration, but we're not entirely sure.

It's always good to go back and remember, though. This has always been one of our favorites and we're happy to share it with you now.

Enjoy!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Donald and Daisy; Western Style!

We took today's picture back during "Family Fun Weekends" (yes, we do still have some); Donald and Daisy were out in their country-western garb during "Kickin' Country Weekend".  Having a picture of both of them together at the same time is something that doesn't happen that often (at least in our experience), so we were really thankful for the opportunity.

Hope you guys like!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Halloween Time Goofy

We've spent quite a bit of time over the past week talking about one of our favorite characters in The Park, Goofy, but we realized we haven't posted a single picture of him yet.  He's completely missing from our "Karacter" gallery!  We felt it was high time to rectify that, and are doing so in today's post.  

This is a picture of Goofy back during last year's Halloween Time.  Unfortunately, we weren't quite as quick on the draw as we are now (with the camera), and we missed getting a picture of him waving at us (he saw we were taking his picture).  He had turned back to his line by the time we snapped it off, but we were still glad to get a decent picture of him.

We really love the way that the characters come dressed differently oftentimes depending on the time of year it is, and this one is certainly no exception.

Enjoy!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Jasmine and Genie

We were lucky enough to catch Jasmine and Genie hanging around in Aladdin's Oasis as we were walking out of Adventureland one Sunday.  They might be out a lot more than we give them credit for, but we honestly haven't seen them since (not in this particular combo), so we were thankful for the opportunity to get the picture.

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Mulan and Mushu

With this picture, we are completely done with all of the pictures we took at the character meet and greets going on during "Family Fun Weekends".  This one was taken during "Happy Lunar New Year Festival".  

So glad we got to meet Mulan and Mushu.  We love our rare characters and this one was a lot of fun to take.

Enjoy!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Off To Neverland!

And thus we hit the end of our "Karacter" photos from Family Fun Weekends and Character Fan Days.  Man, these were fun!  Some of our favorite Park photos since we began the website were taken on this one day.  Hope you've enjoyed seeing them as much as we've enjoying sharing them.

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): Clarabelle And Horace

Our KILT posts continue this week with another picture from "Family Fun Weekends" at The Park. These weekends have been a veritable treasure trove of character pictures which we're only to happy to share. Enjoy!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): The Country Bears

We had a chance recently at "Character Fan Days" to meet up with some now defunct (and very missed!) denizens of The Park.  Enjoy!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursday): The Wicked Queen

In what has quickly become a favorite around here, we find Amy messing around with the Wicked Queen.


Next week, a character of the rarer variety.  Stay tuned!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursdays): Chip & Dale!

Mark's been talking about getting his picture taken with Chip & Dale (together!) for quite some time.  It didn't help matters at all, or help calm him down, when Chad kept telling him about the number of times he had taken pictures of Chip & Dale together.

A dream came true during an end of the summer trip when he walked out of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and saw both of his favorite chipmunks hanging around outside the store as you exit the attraction.

Next week, a villain!

KILT (Karacters I Love Thursdays): Pocahontas!

While Chad, Stephanie and Amy were on the "Holiday Time at Disneyland" tour last month, as they were going through the back area of Frontierland (near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad), they happened to glance over and notice a young woman hunched down at the fence near "The Rivers Of America" who seemed to be looking for or tracking something.

After a double and a triple-take to make sure we weren't seeing things, we realized it was Pocahontas.  Okay, so the fact that she was mumbling something about "the colors of the wind" probably helped too.  We've long since teased Michael about the "crush" he has on Pocahontas, so Stephanie was beside herself in wanting to get a picture.  The fact that we had never even seen Pocahontas out and about had absolutely nothing to do with it, we're sure.

At the risk of separating himself permanently from the Tour (Amy too, in fact) Chad ran back to try and take a couple of quick pictures of her.  He would've liked to have taken one with her, but we guess you can't have everything.

So there you have today's KILT!

In addition to doing these every week we're going to begin cataloging them, beginning today, in a special page at the the top of the website.  A little later this morning, the "kollected Karacters" page will magically appear up there for your future perusal of our past KILT characters.  We're hoping as time goes on that we'll be able to include many of your favorites, as well as some that are a little more on the rare side.  Collecting them should provide all of us with many new, and fun, memories from inside The Parks and we can't wait to share them with you.

By Way Of Explanation... And A New Segment! Introducing KILT!

Before we get into our new segment here, allow us to let you in on a little known secret in the blogging world. The articles you see here, and on other blogs, don't write themselves.

I'll pause to give you time to pick yourself up off of the ground.

In actuality a lot of work goes into these things!  Ideas have to be brought to fruition and hashed out, articles are written and edited (and then edited some more), and pictures have to be chosen and toyed with as well.  It's actually very time consuming.  We only say all of that because even we have been taken aback a bit by just how much time is involved.  No doubt a result of supreme naivete on our part.

We really do need to take at least one day a week just to work on things, and Thursday seemed as good a day as any.  We can assure you, the fact that we had nothing in the bank to publish today had absolutely nothing to do with our choice.

Enter a new portion of the website we've been wanting to implement anyway; A Collected Character segment.  When we first started talking about creating our own website we talked a lot about having a page dedicated to characters we've managed to "collect" in The Parks.  We did so not knowing how many other sites already did that, but knowing that now, we figure that since we enjoy seeing others meeting the characters so much that shouldn't be a deterrent at all.

Hence, our first KILT(!) is born.  Why KILT?  We know that a lot of people do 'TILT' ("Things I Love Thursday") posts so we figured maybe we could do something similar and call ours "Karacters I Love Thursday", primarily because "CILT" and "CHILT" are not words; at least not that we know of.  If you can suspend reality and pretend the "K" is a "C" (they do have the same sound after all), then we should have no problems here.  For the good of all of us try not to be obstinate and get all hung up on that.

So today is our first (of many) KILT posts!  We plan on adding a picture every Thursday for the foreseeable future, and each week we'll add a new character to our "Collected Characters" page at the top of our site.  Easy enough, right?

For our first character we went with a classic.  In this particular photo, we find Michael grappling with Donald.  If memory serves, this is right before Michael turned around and punched Donald in his beak, prompting a Cast Member to step in and separate the two.  Oh, the shenanigans!  


Be sure and tune back in next Thursday for a brand new episode of KILT.  You never know who we'll collect next!
