My side goal on this visit was to get a character to flash a V.T. sign. This sounds simple enough, but it cost me around a hundred bucks. Meeting characters in the parks are hit and miss, and I certainly won’t stand in a 60 minute cue for something that may not happen. Luckily, we had reservations at the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom the first day of the trip. It calls itself a “buffet with character”. Basically, this entails a table visit from all the main characters. Mickey came first and pointed at my Virginia Tech logo and immediately threw the sign. Goofy acted like he didn’t understand what the hell I was trying to say. Donald Duck outright refused. Oregon loyalty perhaps? All I know is that Mickey Mouse is a Hokie, Goofy is mildly retarded, and Donald Duck is a Pac12 sympathizer who literally lives in a fantasy world.
