I print them on 4x6 cards and get picture albums that hold 200-300 photos. Then you can easily slide them in and out of the book for autographs. If you are taking a stroller then it isn't too much to carry around. If you don't want to have to carry around that many cards...print specific cards for each location. There are great cards on this sight for Magic Kingdom, Epcot, etc.
Here is a little something that I add to the front of the autograph albums that I make...I also put this information on 4x6 cards and put them in the photo album so I know possible places to find characters other than character meals. I found most of this information on websites of families that love to character hunt:
How to Find the Characters
Sometimes finding a favorite character can be difficult. One day you may see a bunch of characters in one spot, and the next day - not one! Some characters may be everywhere on one trip, and nowhere the next. And some characters come out only for 10 minute meets, then don't return for hours.
Step 1: You can find the most characters in one spot throughout the day at The Judges Tent in Magic Kingdom. Try to go within the first hour or the last hour of the parks operating hours to avoid the lines that can range anywhere from 45 to 120 minutes at the height of the afternoon crowds.
Step 2: Pick up a park map that has the character greeting locations marked with an icon of a Mickey hand. This will tell you where and when the characters will be available so you can arrive early and be near the front of the line to avoid wait times.
Step 3: Ask where characters will be at Guest Relations at a Disney World park or resort (sometimes they can tell you where a character is meeting people that day).
Step 4: Wander around and constantly look everywhere you go! Be on the lookout for characters just coming out of behind the scenes. You can often catch them before they are mobbed at their designated area, if you have your camera ready for a quick picture. A good place to catch them on the fly like this is at the Town Square Exposition Hall near the entrance to Magic Kingdom.
Step 5: Look at websites like to find where other autograph seekers have located your favorite characters.
Step 6: Open your book to the blank page and be ready with pen-in-hand. Often the characters have trouble gripping the books and pens, so if you have them already open and the pens uncapped it makes it easier for them. Certain characters such as Buzz Lightyear will have a stamp to stamp the autograph book with, as their costume doesnt allow them to grip a pen.
Step 7: Make sure you use caution when approaching the characters; they often wont see you if you come at the character from a bad angle.
Good Luck Character Hunting!!
