Push also likes hanging out in front of the restrooms next to the Plaza Inn and Star Tours so he can talk to the characters going in and out of the park....

My husband and I have never been able to spot the handler which to me adds to the magic. It drives DH crazy.

I don't say this in a mean way, but to me the handler was way to obvious while we watched PUSH. But that is OK. He was only obvious to adults. Kids didn't notice. I had fun talking to PUSH saying little clues that I knew who the handler was and he grinned. But he does a great job. We watched for about 20 min. It's funny to watch people react, except for the little brats that kick him. One parent made the kid apologize and hug PUSH. That was pretty cool.

Either they're really dumb or it just isn't as obvious as we, who know the tricks, think it is.
Originally Posted By Mitten Little brats.. I was there today and walked up on Push.. He was hiding next too another trash can. There were a few boys there shaking him and trying to move him.

Not much I could do accept turn it off and wait till they leave, I have to stop when they climb on top, thats not safe". I then said oh I understand. He went on to say how much he loved doing Push. I actually haven't seen this handler before. I was actually looking for one of my other favorites. But he was still entertaining as Push. Then I watched a bit and saw the boys walk back to their parents who were not far away.. They could have stopped these boys. Unbelievable.. Guess I have seen it all at Disneyland though. I have actually posted on this message board a time when I had to get 5 kids off Push, because they wouldn't leave him alone..

Originally Posted By Mitten Push is the same size as a regular trash can.. The only difference is on the flap it says 'Push', where the other trash cans in Tomorrowland doesn't.
Originally Posted By GMLSKIS 2 weeks ago I had never heard about this and this week at Disneyland I must have ran into it a half dozen times. It was pretty cool and the kids love it.
Originally Posted By Mitten To Ghoofie.. I could see what you mean about him being obvious. I have seen him do Push on numerous occasions and he always blended well but lately he has been hanging around the bathrooms only which makes it harder for him to blend in. He must of been told to stay by there. He use to always wander around everywhere in Tomorrowland. Seems strange.. I think I need to ask him next time I see him. I don't like to talk to them while they are doing the trash can. I wait till they have put Push away to talk to them.
Originally Posted By RAM1984 >>One parent made the kid apologize and hug PUSH.<< That is good to hear. We had a long thread going on about this not too long ago. It is good that some parents actually let their children know that hitting and kicking Push is not okay.
