Character Autographed Pillowcases ....

[EvieBug]

We've done autographed pillow cases a few times. We try to do 'themes' on the pillow cases for my young nieces. For example, first year we got the Fab 5 to sign pillow cases for each of them. Then last year, it was Winnie and Pooh and friends. This way, we just have to bring them (the pillow cases) to one character meal (Chef Mickey for the Fab 5 and Crystal Palace for Pooh and friends) then pack them away in our suitcases for home. This year we will likely to do 'princess theme' as we are dining at Akershsus, or possibly Lilo/Stitch and Mickey/Pluto as we are going to 'Ohana breakfast. I use them as Santa sacks for each girl at Christmas. I wrap their gifts and put them in the pillow case (with autographs) and tie them up with ribbon. This is always a big hit with the girls!
If you are doing a Disney Cruise, you can put the pillow cases (or t-shirts) in a ziploc bag with fabric markers and drop them off at Guest Relations. They will have the characters sign your pillow cases and you can pick them up later on in the cruise. We did this for our daughters when they were younger and on the DCL.

Unfortunately Disney Cruise Line no longer allows items to be dropped off for signatures at Guest Relations. We are taking our first cruise this year and I had to revamp some ideas once that news came out.

This is a great idea. DD has two full autograph books with photo sleeves from our last trip so I'm looking for a new idea for our next trip.

Well that's disappointing . We had them done December 2008 and December 2011. Planning on going again 2017, and even though DD's are teens they would have done them again.

Great idea, what kind of pillowcase did you purchase, cotton, or a blend?

It was a blend ---cotton/poly -- we tried on all cotton, but the marker "ran" a bit --- the kids are loving them !!

We did this last April and have brought it for more signatures twice since then. Probably 50+ washes because my daughter actually sleeps on it, and still going strong. I used the "Sharpie Stained" fabric markers.

We used the same ---- ). Used (4) different colors, depending on the character --- and black for the kids names and we dated them too in the corners

Thank you for your answers---I know my DGD would love this and I love that it is a wonderful keepsake that is much more memorable than just a stuffie.

Do the Star War characters sign autographs?

Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!! DD10 and I are leaving for our trip tomorrow, and we were just looking for the last book she bought that wasn't full yet. But while she was looking for it, I thought to myself, how special is *another* autograph book...???

But this is really great. Where did you find the mini clipboard?

Found those at our local Dollar Tree store --- )

Unfortunately, the ones we saw didn't --- for those we had the characters pictures made into iron-on transfers ---
I think we ended up with 3 --- we got a great shot of the kids trading with the Jawas !! (They love anything that lights up !! (Glow sticks, etc)
