Autographs - what we have done....
First - bring a black sharpie marker
T-shirt - buy a white or light colored t-shirt (Disney themed) and have autographs done on it (place paper between the front and back when signing)
Buy a bongo drum in Mexico and have the white top leather signed
Buy a hat - again white or light colored (Disney themed) and have it signed.
More creative and time consuming... Make & Decorate a scroll
Make a scroll from 2 dowels and buy a piece of linen cloth to fit between.
1) Cut the material into a rectangle (size is your choice). Fold down the short ends of the rectangle about one inch (width of dowel). Sew the edge of the short ends of the rectangle to its self to create a pocket for the dowel to go through at each end (top and bottom of the scroll).
2)You can add trim to the ends of the material.
3) Before you go - get a Mickey or Disney stamp - use material paint or ink and stamp a pattern at the edges of the scroll.
4) Bring the scroll with your to WDW, you can bring the dowels if you wish.
Have the characters sign the material. Have the countries in EPCOT stamp the material with their country stamp.
5)When you get home, after the WDW vacation, iron the backside (non-writing side) to flatten out any creases from traveling.
6) Place the dowels at the top and bottom of the scroll. Attach a small rope or ribbon to the top scroll. Hang in your child's room.
Their memory of WDW, and a conversation started for thier friends, will be on their wall for a few years.
