Character interactions for photos

I hope I'm not duplicating a thread but I didn't find it so here goes nothing.

Do you have any favorite poses for character interactions? For instance, we have adorable photos of my daughter dancing with Mickey and on our honeymoon Mickey closed his eyes while kneeling and my husband and I were kissing over his head.

What about special poses? Is there anything you you can say or do to a character to elicit a response?

Thanks in advance!

We've had some of the best interactions with characters when we went prepared! Our last trip to DL (2013) we went with a notebook that my DD and I wrote questions in for the characters we thought we'd see - For example,
Rapunzel, we planned to ask if Flynn and Max got along now
Snow White we planned to ask what it was like to live with Dwarfs, if it was messy

Our BEST interaction surprisingly was from boys! Both Alladin and Flynn Ryder nailed the character interactions. Belle was a very close 3rd (she recognized Ada from one location we met her to another that we met her a second time). Flynn actually spoke more than Rapunzel, and we met them together. We asked about his relatinoship with Pascal. He said that the're cool now. But he and Max were more like Frenemies. Then they talked about pets - how we have a dog who acts like a horse and he has a horse who acts like a dog.

I have to admit that after 3 trips to DW, going to DL was a different character experience. I'm not sure if there's just more "actors" in CA, or if it was because we were prepared.

I've read the funniest thing with Ariel is to bring a fork and tell her you brought her a dinglehopper.

Also, being prepared meant having a pen with me and immediately writing the answers down after the interaction. Unfortunately I wrote so fast I can't read much of some of it. LOL

I guess as for poses, I have Rapunzel playing with my daughters pony tails, I have the standard Buzz pictures, we've never really been a pose type. Usually it's the character that initiates that (Aurora taught my daughter to stand like a princess and Tink taught her to stand like her).

That's a great idea about character interaction questions. My daughter will not know we are going to DW until we are there again so I may just need to ensure her personal autograph book has lots of journaling areas for each character. Thanks for the ideas!
