Unpopular opinion alert:
I understand why some people are bummed, but I can also understand why Disney has had to cancel this service. As someone previously said, it probably has gotten way out of hand, not only with the number of items people had been asking to have signed, but the actual items themselves have become more and more expensive and elaborate. What happens if the signer messes up an expensive item or if the item is dropped and it gets damaged while in their possession? It just became a bigger liability.
Here's the unpopular opinion part. I just don't get it. Isn't it more fun to see the character and have them sign it in person? Yes, I understand it takes time and it may not be as pretty of a signature. But to me, it's like buying a signed item on ebay, it just doesn't have that special connection if I wasn't present to get the autograph myself. I totally disagree that character autographs should be a perk only available to concierge. And as far as people offering to pay money for signed items, please bring the money to my cabin when I am on your cruise, pay me and I'll gladly sign your item in the style of the character
