Renting Elmo

I am trying to arrange a visit from Elmo for my son's second birthday. Has anyone tried "A Cast of Characters" or "The Character Stop" for an Elmo? Could you share your recommendations? I live in the Seminole/Largo area.

***Update - Any recommendations on a good costume shop that rents out a great copy of the Elmo costume for an adult would be appreciated as well. Daddy can play Elmo for thirty minutes or so if we must. To the previous poster, I know my son will not be afraid to see Elmo..but it is a good point about who may be playing the character and not wanting that type of person in my home. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Try Pinky's Parties!! They have everything for parties. They are really nice and professional. ###-###-####
also some good companies are fingerprinted and registered with the sheriffs department, parks department and school board. Ask anyone for these credentials, I know Pinky's only has registered entertainers.

I do not have a company (actually clicked because I wanted your recommendationsfor my sons 3rd Bday- :) My son is 2 1/2 & LOVES Elmo (& has seen) Minnie Mouse, Wubbzy, Santa, Clifford & the Easter Bunny... characters are all part of a toddlers life- you aren't going to be leaving the character alone with the kids (& all/most parents stay as well when it's a party for 2 year olds) so I would ask about their fingerprinting- but know that it would have to be a DUMB pedophile to try anything w/ 10+ parents standing right there! Safe is smart... paranoid needs balance.

Hello,

If I was two years old and If I saw Elmo at Disney World I would be fine, because that is where he is suppost to be. But if he was at my home or at my birthday party I think it would scare me ( as a two year old ).

As a parent my main thought would be how do I know that this person is not a sex offender?

If it was me, I would not do it.

I would get family together and do games and have decorations and lots of food and plently of presents. I would take video and lots of pictures.
