Part 11: A Character Palooza Surprise and Talking with Turtles
After Test Track, we met up with our new friends we had met on the monorail the night before. We headed to Canada to share a drink and walked around the world.
We got to The American Adventure and listened to the Voices of Liberty.
They are so incredible! After their show, I asked one of the singers if they still perform “Golden Dreams” because my high school choir sang it. He said that they do but they need the right arrangement of people/voices in order to perform it.
We said goodbye to our friends and started making our way back to Future World West for our 2:10-3:10 PM FP for Turtle Talk with Crush. Well before we got very far from the American Adventure gates, we stumbled upon Character Palooza! We evaluated whether to meet the characters or make our FP, but knew that Turtle Talk doesn’t usually have a long wait and when would we see all these characters again in one spot with little to no wait times?? We took some pictures ourselves and handed my camera off to the character attendants so we could both be in the picture. We even had some very kind other guests who offered to take photos when there weren’t attendants nearby.

This picture cracks me up! Goofy is so tall…and we’re vertically challenged.

Showing Mickey himself on my shirt
We got to meet Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, and Pooh all within exactly 10 minutes! It was so awesome and we were so glad we stumbled upon it.
We decided to still try to make our FP so we fast walked and made it with about 5 minutes to spare. We walked right on as a new show was about to begin. I’ve always loved this attraction and loved the new Finding Dory characters that were added.
We walked around the aquarium for a little bit and saw a huge manatee and the Finding Nemo/Dory cast.

“We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time--out and back in. And sometimes, if you wanna do it four times-” “Dad…”

Such a cute shirt!
I also stopped to make a pressed penny of Nemo, Marlin, and Dory.
