Fairy Godmailer, thank you so much for the postcard with the castle. It was so pretty and DH about died. He cannot believe he got 2 cards and thinks I payed my family to do it. But I keep telling him it is postmarked Orlando and not PA. Again Thank You So much!
I also am paying it forward. I already have 3 people and will take a couple more. It does not matter if they are adults or children. We will be in Disney at the beginning of May. Just PM me if you would like me to send a postcard.

Hi~ I'm new to these boards. This Fairy Godmailer is such a great idea. Can someone tell me what "PM" means?? I would love for a postcard to be sent to my kids (we're going 5/7 to 5/13) & I would certainly do the same for anyone else. Thanks!! :)

Click on the persons name that you want to respond to, hou will get a drop down menu and one will say something like "send a private message to ******" click on that and then you can send them a PM (private message) listing your childs name, address, favorite character and I alway preferred the exact message the person wanted on the postcards.

03-11-2006, 09:02 AM
Hi! You try to find someone who is going to Disney a week or two(or more) before you. They send your children a postcard saying "Can't wait for you to come see me next week!", etc. Then you allow someone to contact you so that you can send them a postcard while your family is there in June.

This is such a great idea!!!!
I'm going in September so if anyone is going to be there this summer I would love it if you could send a postcard to my nephew.
We'll be at Disney for a week and a half :woohoo: so I should have enough time to send postcards for anyone that wants them.
Just two question...
1~What is a PM? (sorry not up on the lino)
2~Where is Disney do you do this?
These questions may have already been answered but....I confess I am lazy and did not read all 53 pages (I only had time for about 3 pages) :hourglass

SOOOOOOO glad to find this thread! My boys got a postcard announcing our Disney Cruise (and re-booked cruise ;) ) last year. Pure Magic :wizard: Then the three of us spent a good twenty minutes in the post office at Castaway Cay sending out a little 'magic' to other folks. Fun!
We are booked for another cruise, but considering the parks instead. If we do...I will be asking for someone to 'pay it forward'...

I hope this has not been said already, (sorry i couldnt read ALL the post's) and I do think this is such a nice thing for you all to be doing. I just wanted to make a sugestion, maybe those of you who do not have kids old enouph to know post marks could just buy your own cards and put them in the mail box for your child to "find".
Just an idea because I know the cards could get expensive also it would be good for those who are leaving sooner then there child could have one sent thru the mail.

Hi Everyone!! :wave2: It's my turn to ask for a Fairy Godmailer. I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, I posted it on another thread too, just to see if anyone is leaving soon. My 2 DS's (5 & 2) will be at WDW for their first trip on 4/22. Is anyone going soon that can send a postcard to my little guys?? I can't wait to "pay it forward" and send some to others when I get there. Such a great idea!!! thanks! And if you're interested please PM me.

My daughter received her postcard for Cinderella today. She was so excited when I gave it to her(I brought to her when i picked her up from school.) Gracie(DD) ran around the front of the school showing it to all her friends and even showed it to her bus driver. So i would like to do this for someone else's child(ren).

morning!
This is my first time posting here, first time going as a family and we leave in 13 days (Apr 8-15th)! WHOO HOO!
:cool1:
Anyway, about 1.5 months ago, a nice lady sent my two girls a postcard from Minnie & Mickey, awaiting their arrival. My eight year olds face was priceless the day she received itt! (My 2 year old thought it was cool too!) She was so excited that she brought it to school to show her class, and when I spoke to her teacher last week, she thought it was such a great idea!
We would like to return the favor......... First 3 to PM w/ info will get a post card!
Also, which threads to you recommend for quick Disney learning? There are so many good ones, I don't want to miss anything.
Thanks!

My understanding is that there is only one place in Downtown Disney that you can mail postcards which will have a Disney postmark. They have an actual postage machine (not stamps) if I understand it correctly since I've never used it. I believe it is the scrapbook store. All other locations (we've mailed from resorts, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot) all have the Orlando postmark.

Just two question...
1~What is a PM? (sorry not up on the lino)
2~Where is Disney do you do this?
I was reading through the thread and didn't see anyone answer you. Did someone PM you?
If not....
1~PM is Private Message. Left Click on the person's name to send one.
2~You can mail from any resort or park, but someone on this thread said to get an actual 'Disney Postmark' you have to mail them from the scrapbook store in Downtown Disney (Can anyone confirm that?)
Didn't want to leave you hanging! :thumbsup2

When I created my DisBoards account this was the one of the first threads I read. I thought it was serioulsy one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. I do not have any children (FH and are as excited as children, but I didn't think it counted :rotfl: ) but I would love to do it for 3 other families who would like this done.
We will be at Disney from April 24-28. The first 3 people to PM me with names, addresses, favorite character and what you would like the card to say will get postcards.
We are just so excited to go, I can't help but share the excitement with others! Although we don't have kids yet I just hope that one day when we do that something like this can be done for them. :lovestruc

They determined that DisneyWorld is just MAGIC!!
With that... I offer to add 3 more names to my list... How can you not make a childs day!! (It is totally worth it....)
We will be there April 10-18th. I can send out 3 more postcards for anyone that is going after us..

Hi!
I would love for my son to receive a postcard from anyone going soon. He's not a little kid, he turned 21 in February, but I think he'd get a kick out of it anyway!!
We are taking a mother/son trip in late September for his (belated) birthday. He is looking forward to being able to order margaritas, etc. with me! :drinking1
So, if anyone is going soon and could do this, I'd sure appreciate it! I'd like it soon rather than closer to our trip date, since he already had his birthday.
PM me and THANKS!

Hi everyone,
I just discovered this site & I LOVE IT!! :cool1: This thread is an awesome idea. I have a 12 year old daughter who loves all the princesses (especially Jasmine, but also Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty etc...). We are leaving for Disney World April 21st (1st trip for her & my hubby-2nd for me but that was many years ago as a teenager). Is there anyone who lives in Florida who has a princess type card at home & would be willing to mail it to my daughter, or who is leaving for DW within the next couple of days & would be willing to send it to her? We live in Canada it will require a little extra postage. I'm not sure if we'll get it before we leave, but figure it's worth a shot. Please pm me if able to send one. Also, I can send one to a couple of people the last week of April when I'm there. Send me a pm with details & I'll let you know if you are one of the first few to respond. This is so cool. Laurie.

I just found this thread by accident and think it is the coolest idea. Mid June will be our Disney trip. We have twins, a DD and DS and before they were born my Dad asked when we were going to take them to Disney. I said when they are 5! And here it is. My parents are coming with us and everyone is so excited. Would anyone be able to send a postcard to each of my children? DD loves princesses - especially Belle and Sleeping Beauty (which she calls Sleeping Judy!) and my DD is all about Buzz and Stitch! I would greatly appreciate it. Please PM me if you can send one to each of them.
I will definately pay it forward. I will send out 4 postcards.
PM me with name and address, favorite character (with a backup or two), and any other little info that would make you little one feel extra special!
Thanks everyone...this is Pixie Dust at its best!

OK...Don't think I am trying to put a bad spin on this because I love the idea and have already had someone offer to do this for my kids this year. (Thanks again).
I just thought I would make a suggestion when you give someone your info to mail your children) the postcards...Do not tell them the exact dates you will be going. Take your count down off your signature too. Think about it for a second...You are giving a complete stranger your home address, and dates you will be away from home.
We have house guest that will be here to "house sit" while we are gone so it was no big deal for me but...I am sure we are not all going to have this opt.
Just give them a month you are requesting them send it in.
I would love to think only honest & loving :hippie: users are on here but can never be to careful...
But please keep this going. It is a great idea and I am sure my children will think it is wonderful!
Thanks for the warning,
I started this thread a while ago never knowing that it would amount to this. I also like to post a warning once in a while to reminder everybody to also be careful of giving out their kids personal info or posting it online. I hate to be the one but not everybody has a Disney heart. I am very glad that this thread is still going and the magic that it shares.

I'm leaving at the end of the month and have already posted once, but no one ever sent me a message. If you'd like postcards, please send me a PM. To do this, click on my name over on the right and you will get the option to send me a private message.
I can send to 3 people and don't mind international requests.
Edited to add that I have 3 now. Have fun everyone!

ok...I will be in Disney May 31 - June 11th and I would love to send out postcards to any little ones...my kids are older and aren't really into this kind of thing anymore...so it is ok that the favor wouldn't be returned. I want to do this cause if my kids were little still, it would be such a great thing for someone to do for me.
So...If anyone would like to send me their information (what character, name of child or children, what you want the post card to say, etc)...I will take it with me and send postcards while I am there. I guess there has to be a limit of ones I send out huh? Well...I guess I could do maybe 6...so the first six people who send me their information will be the ones I send...
Again...it is a pleasure to be able to do this for you!

I have a really dumb question - how do you send the postcards? I wouldn't mind sending some out - but what's the procedure? You buy a card, write a note "from" the character - hunt them down to autograph it and mail it? Mail it without an autograph, what? I just have this image of myself at a chacter breakfast flipping through a stack of postcards to get them autographed.....

Dawn, my card came from "mickey and the gang" and didn't include his autograph but my kids weren't concerned with that. I've asked for ideas from the parents on what the cards should say and/or what character should be on the card, but my plan is to get them the first day we arrive and write them while my kids are sleeping. That way they don't see them and I'll mail them right away..... so I don't forget.
Hope that helps!

I will be in WDW from May 10th to 20th and we would love to be able to share some Disney Magic with others. We will send postcards too! The first 5 ppl that pm me with their information (names, fave char's, anything special they want written on the postcard) we will mail to while we are there. What a fun idea!! It would be fun if my kids could mail a card to someone in their same sex/age range, kind of a pen pal thing. I have DD(12) DS (10) and DS (5) (and me and my DH in our early 30's lol) Or we can just mail something and sign it as though it were from their fave character, whatever you like. Can't wait to hear from ppl, hurry and pm me as we leave in 19 days! (ok seems like a long time away but we all know those last few days before leaving are so filled with last minute planning, organizing and packing! lol)

I just spent a week at WDW and post cards are getting hard to find. Lots of fireworks, castle, princesses & Mickey Mouse. No Pooh cards at all except for a special card at MGM at the artist tour exit. Then I went shopping off park property and found a much larger selection - Pooh, Pooh & Tigger, Tigger,Donald Duck, etc. I guess not that many folks are sending post cards these days - they use the email machines at EPCOT. I was looking for a Goofy card, Tigger card, Prince Charming, Capt. Hook, etc.

Ok...I have responses to me offering to send out postcards (can do manybe one more too)...anyhow...my question is this...since this is obviously my first time doing this...
How do most of you write the postcards? Isn't anyone worried that the kids will notice, once they get the character's signature, that they will notice a difference in hand writing? And what types of things do you write on the cards? Also, any other experienced postcard senders out there who would like to share 'how' they do this would be great.
I am just asking for suggestions. My daughter is so excited that we are doing this and is planning to do most of it on her own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Have fun & Be safe!

Finding the mailbox was easy :thumbsup2 ...The hard part was find stamps...not all gift shops carry stamps and a few I went to were simply out of stock. I thought I could buy disney stamps ** at disney.....but this are issued by the US post office and are not available at disney.
My best advice to those planning on sending out post cards.....buy your stamps from home. Learn from my mistake...I had 14 cards to send out and went looking for stamps at 6 different stores.
**Romance Commemorative Stamp Series. These stamps are issued as part of the kick-off of the 13th Annual EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Available nationwide April 22.

Yes, part of the magic is the Orlando postmark.

Feel free to send me a pm and I will respond. I did this last year for some children. I will need the following information: Name and Address, favorite Disney character(s), date(s) you will be visiting WDW and any other pertinent information such as birthday.

....we are going to disney in September with a family who has never been. They have 4 kids, and needless to say, they are excited. The youngest saw me Wednesday night at church and ran up to me and said "Mr. Wayne, are you excited about going to Disney with me this fall?" She was smiling from ear to ear...very excited.
If you would be willing to pay it forward for this group of kids, please PM me...I'll send you their address, names, etc. I will be happy to return the favor for others in September.
Thanks in advance.

I just got 2 postcards delivered this week- one to my Mom and Dad and one to my DS3. I had cleaned out my PM box and couldn't find the screen names of who to thank so it made me think of a suggestion.
Maybe those sending a postcard could write in the bottom corner really small their screen name. I know no one does this for recognition, but I am sure the requester would appreciate being able to report back the reactions of the receiver. I know I definetly wanted to thank those who put smiles on the face of my loved ones. Just an idea???
Have a magical day! :wizard:

That is priceless! You'll have to be sure to keep a copy of that for when she's older.
On a side note, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one out there with hesitations about letting their kids ride Mission Space. I'm afraid Daddy is going to overrule me on this one, though.
Hope Sara has a wonderful time at Disney World!

Looking for a Fairy Godmailer --
We will be there the week of June 5th thru June 11th. So I know this is really short notice, but I have just recently become addicted to DISboards.
I have one 4 year old boy who LOVES Dinosaurs and a 2 year old girl who LOVES Poohbear.
If you are willing to be their Fairy Godmailer, please PM me.
We'll be there the week of June 4th. A very nice person (Thank you MAGGIED!!!!!) made my DD5's whole trip by sending her a postcard. I'd like to do the same for someone else. Email me with your request, I'll do as many as I can.
Ok, I've gotten a LOT of requests for postcards. I'll handle as many as I can, and have replied to the ones that I am able to send to. If anyone else wants to volunteer to send postcards, I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it!!
Hope everyone has a great trip! :wave2: :wave2:

I really want to return the favor to a few families. He and I (dad is deployed to the middle east) will be at WDW from Sept 30 - Oct 7. If anyone has a request, I would love to try to honor that.
Let me know if there is anyone out there in need of a little magic!
Have a wonderful evening,

I just came across this idea, possibly too late to have one sent to my son since we are leaving next week. This is a great idea. I would be happy to send post cards to the children of the first 5 or 6 pms that I get. as with the others just tell me the character, date you are visiting, and your childs name and i would be happy to send out post cards. I will pm the first couple of responses that I am able to accomodate.

We returned from WDW very late last night. Our flight was delayed over three hours! I sent cards for the following: cinderellacorky, jazznms, RedDawg and SnowWhite607. I hope everyone received their post cards.
One comment for anyone who will be sending cards . . . make sure you check the required postage. Some of the postcards are different sizes and require $0.39 rather than the standard $0.24. It would be disappointing to find out that someone didn't receive a card because there wasn't enough postage on it. Annmarie

Thank you to 2princes&1princess for the awesome postcards for my kids. My oldest (6) was thrilled to get "an invitation". They were all holding them and screaming with excitement (ages 6, 4 & 2). Great job picking out the characters! They had to call their auntie to let them know they got them and they hoped her kids (ages 14 & 15) got theirs too (we are meeting them there but I didn't have any sent to them).
This such a great idea!! BTW, we'll be there in 8 days so the first 5 to respond with info: I'll send you some cards.
THANK YOU so much!!!!

Last year we did the pay it forward... before we left all 3 of my kids recieved postcards and STILL have them pinned to there corkboards! We sent out postcards from the parks while we were there and had so much FUN picking them out. Definately a family moment. We would love to repeat that again this year so we will be in the world August 12th through the 28th. We could send out postcards for anyone going in the begining of September. I anyone going before that wouldn't mind sending my 3 kiddo's their own postcards?

We will be heading to WDW July 7-15th. My DS13 isn't interested in receiving postcards anymore, but I'd love to brighten someone's day by sending a few out! I can mail out postcards during the July 10-15th time period to the first 3 families to PM me with their children's names, address, favorite character or postcard picture preference and who the postcard should be from. Be sure to mention your vacation dates (if you have a trip planned) so I can include that in the message.
If you have something special you'd like it to say or any other things that would make it even more magical, please be sure to include those details! Families with multiple children can ask for a favorite character to write to each child individually.

We are leaving July 16th for our 1st trip to WDW. I have a six year old that would be so excited to get a postcard. I would be so happy to send out postcards while we are there to other children. What a great idea!

I'm here at WDW and am having a very hard time finding decent postcards. I'm staying at the WL and have looked at a few shops at MK. Is there a place in particular to find some good ones (princesses, Toy Story, Mickey/Minnie)? Also, if I send out one of the "shaped" ones, would 2 stamps be sufficient?
One more day left and it's going too fast!! Too bad dd (2yo) was up sick all last night so she and I are hanging out doing laundry. :rolleyes1

Dh and I are going in Sept (18th -24th). I would be happy to send out 5 pcs to the first ones to send me pms. I was able to do this on my last trip and it made me feel good to play fairygodmother princess: Especially for any kids or adults who haven't recieved them before. :goodvibes
