A Disneyland photographer is on hand to take pictures for later purchase. You are, of course, free to take pictures with your own camera as well. On certain days Disney princesses do storytelling in Fantasyland at Tinker Bell's Toy Shoppe and the Aladdin and Jasmine Storytelling performs at Aladdin's Oasis in Adventureland. Mickey Mouse can always be found at his house in Toontown and Minnie can often be found at her house as well. Characters can occassionly be seen doing just about anything including riding attractions, playing musical chairs at Coke Corner or leading a band.
Characters are always friendly and lovable.
Even if a character is sad and hot from the layers of fur, they'll always look great on the outside for our photographic pleasure. Whenever a crowd is near they are as sharp as ever. For example, tigger wags his tail whenever his back is to a crowd at another attraction he can't get to. Take one while the character is getting ready to pose, one when they are posing, and ask for another posing shot for posterity. If not the first, then do the last two.
