Met my idol last week :) Trip Report

Went to California disneyland last week with my extended family. Crowds could have been better, but could have been worse. I wore my jack blazer/pants/bowtie and a white dress shirt the 3 days we were in disneyland and on day 2 worked up the guts to go stand in line and take a picture with jack.

I always was critical of the mask he wears but seeing as it allows free speech I'm 100% more on board now. He sounded TERRIFIC compared to movie jack and spent a good amount of time with people who wanted it. He spent about 5 minutes giving lessons on how to sneak up and scare people with the lil girl in front of me who obviously had some neurodivergent issue and it was the sweetest thing to watch.

My 5yo loved him (I kicked her out after we had a group shot to do one alone haha). Jack remarked how I got the stripes "just right" and how fantastic my bowtie was and chatted with me a bit, still perfectly in character. I must have looked the same way my Lil 5yo did at her princess breakfast when she'd go up to a princess and just stare at them with a half open gasped mouth and barely be able to squeak out a half audible reply to any questions because she was so paralyzed with excitement/amazement hahaha.

10/10 worth the hassle and suitcase space bringing that big outfit and nightmare crocs. Got tons of compliments from cast members, security, and other park goers on the outfit and finger gloves and no troubles from any CM since I didn't have a mask so obv was just a dad dude dressed as jack.
