Autograph TShirts vs. Books

[eaturpasta1]

We have taken autograph books on all our past vacations. This time I want to try tshirts instead. Anyone have any tips? I know the Characters cannot sign a shirt while its being worn

We have never done autograph books, but we are bringing an autograph bag this time. A friend of mine bought a canvas bag at Michaels for her last trip. They put a piece of cardboard in it so the characters would have writing space and brought along sharpies. It turned out really cute. A few months ago TDS had canvas Mickey bags on clearance and I bought one for the same purpose. Good Luck!

For our trip this past January, I ordered the white long sleeved t-shirts from the Disney site that says 'Disney' across the chest using the different character parts. I bought two sharpies and placed them in a small snack size zip lock bag inside a gallon size zip lock bag with the t-shirt, so there would be no chance of ink getting on the t-shirt. I also placed a small embroidery hoop in the bag and used a back pack to carry them around. Just make sure you have the embroidery hoop in place on the t-shirt before you get to the character and that your child hands it to them right side up. (We have Belle's name upside down on my GD's t-shirt.) When you get home the child can wear it or you can take it to Michael's or somewhere and have it folded and framed. If you're having it framed be sure to have all the characters sign fairly closely together around the Disney logo. If the child is going to wear it, be sure to have the signatures scattered all over the shirt. Oh yeah! because of their gloves Woody and Buzz use stamps to sign their names. The CM with them made a point of following us and telling us that the stamps are not permanent and to be sure to use our sharpie to write over their names, before washing the shirt.
