autograph idea...Cheep idea too

[momminnie]

That's a great idea! I made a scrapbook last time (07) The characters really loved it. It was a really neat idea also. I would like to do something different this trip later this year. The frame looks great. If you don't mind I would like to use your idea.

What a great idea - I was just trying to figure out if I should do the autograph books for our first visit with the kids. this would be much better!

I love this!

I love this idea! I'm going to get one for us and my friends who are traveling with us.

I should know this, but how do you get the Disney Visa 5x7? What else can you get with it? I keep up with so many other things that aside from the rewards I know nothing about my Disney Visa perks!

I have a question about doing this. This is our first trip so my kids will want to autograph books. But this is a great idea so do you think I could have them do both. Or would I get dirty looks for the characters to be doing so many autographs.

I know we will see some of the same characters more than once b/c we have 7 character meals so I am just going to alternate between meetings what I am getting signed.

You can have the kids get the books and you can have the frame signed

I did this 2 yrs. ago with dd,then 11 yrs.old. She was getting too old for the regular autograph books ,which she had done before.

I bought 2 mattes 1-5x7 and 1-8x10. We took one in with us for Mickey and Friends at the Disney Visa photo in Epcot and the larger one 8x10 to the Princess Breakfast @ Akerhaus in Epcot.

We carried them with us on just those days and I brought a "Clipboard" to hold them on so the characters had an easier time holding them. I also used "clickable Sharpies" in about 5 colors .

I got my idea off this Disboard site just about 2 years ago and it really worked out well for us...Good Luck !

I love this idea!

We will be celebrating both of my dd's birthdays on our trip. They are 3 days apart. I know that my girls will want to do autograph books. But I love the idea of displaying the signatures. We have a 1900 Park dinner scheduled for my soon to be 4 year-old's b-day and a Storybook Princess dinner for my soon to be 7 year old. I think I will do one for each and then I can put in a birthday picture from the dinner in it for their own special memory. Now I need to figure out which size would be best.

Our friends recommended t-shirts which I thought would be a cute idea... but I like the frame idea better !

 

[Peanut&Piglet'sMom]

Great idea!!!!!! I'm totally doing this!

Are you just going to do the frame at the restruant for the kids birthday meal or are you going to tak it inside the parks.Do you know how many characters will be at the restrurant.I would get either 5X7 or 8X10

LOVE this idea! Can't wait to try it out on our next trip. It has always seemed like such a waste with the autograph books, we go so crazy to get all the signatures and then it just sits on a shelf and the kids look at it maybe once or twice a year. How great will it be to see it everyday. Thanks for the tip!!!!

A cheep way to frame your free 5x7 with your Disney visa.

How do I get a free 5x7? I have a Disney Visa and didn't know I could get a free pic. I would love to know about this before we leave on Friday. Thanks!!

Look at your Disney visa online and it will tell you all about the free photo. You can get one everyday that you are there. Its in Epcot. all you need to show is your disney visa card and your in.

That's the big dilemma now... the size of the frame. I don't want anything too big, but I want enough room for the characters to sign. That's why I was thinking of limiting it to the characters at the specific dinners instead of the whole park. We actually have two other character meals planned (Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's - I'm debating about getting one for these restaurants too). We are going to 1900 Park for dinner for my soon to be four year old - from what I have read the characters include Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia. For my soon to be seven year old we are going to the Princess Storybook - so five assorted Princesses is what I am expecting. I have to get to the craft store to see the mats to figure out what works best. But I am leaning towards an 8X10 mat with a 5x7 picture. I also need to figure out where I will hang them. I was thinking their bedrooms, but I might want to put them in a more visible spot. Depends on how well they turn out. I only want to do one mat per meal because I know that the girls will want to have them sign autograph books as well and I don't want anyone getting frustrated.

Do you have any pictures? I would love to see what the Princess Breakfast one looks like. I am thinking of doing this during my dd birthday dinner.
