We leave for DW in a week and a half and I still have a ton of stuff to do. I teach and due to snow days we are leaving late after graduation. However, I did want to squeeze in time to do an autograph book. Last time we went to Disney (when I just had my son and my dd in my belly), I used the ones we bought at Disney and while I included them in my scrapbook by cutting them out, I didn't like the way they turned out because all the paper was the same. I searched and I really like the way that this one turned out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFh_kdwI_6U
This one has a specific spot for each character. Because of character meals, we know that we will be seeing Pooh and Friends, Mickey, Minnie and at least five princesses. However, what do you do for the characters that you may see but might not. My dh suggested having some generic pages in the back but not sure how to decorate those. Should I just do like a generic princess one, a generic Disney World one or what do you do? Or should I just bother getting autographs of certain characters and then just pictures of the others. My dd won't care she is 5 and doesn't understand yet.
 
It's really up to you and how much time that you have. :)

Ive made some with specific characters. And it worked out well, but I always leave blank pages. Other times its just blank pages, with a cute cover.
 
I've done some generic and others that are specific. I found that characters loved to see their pictures and had so much more to say but it's very time consuming to do and every time I saw a page get curled or ripped, it pinched my heart and I would redo it when I got home because I didn't like it. since I had 3 kids the same age, I found myself stressing in line trying to find the correct page in all the books and then felt cheap when I didn't have something specific for a character and my girls would mention it too. Now what I do is easier for us. I bring a clip board and lots and lots of 4X6 pieces of cardstock and different colors too and get all the characters to sign on a piece. When I get home, then I do the book like on your video specific for each character and double mat the signature the same color as the photo mat on the other page and so on. I can take my time to do it and the girls LOVE to see the end product with their photos.
