Create-Your-Own Vinylmations and Autographs

[laufaeson]

I've been on the fence about getting an autograph book for when I head to WDW next month, but I've come across some people who had the wonderful idea to use the 9" blank CYO Vinylmations instead. I absolutely love that idea because it's a lot easier to have a Vinylmations out to display than a book.

However, I'm having a hard time locating them online. They're sold out at the online store and there's a huge markup on them at other sites like Amazon, ebay, what have you.

Do they sell them at the parks anywhere? I read that there's a store at Downtown Disney, but I'm afraid they'll be closed when we get there. It'll be past 10 PM and we start at the parks first thing the following morning.

Any other handy ideas for collecting signatures that we could display? I've also seen people do picture frames, but I don't really want to carry that around in my backpack all day.

I've been trying to find a 9" blank CYO vinylmation too! Hopefully someone can tell us!

I bought 2 of them 3 years ago when I only had 2 kids in anticipation of a trip. Life happened and it got postponed until this year, now we have a 3rd to take and I was looking for another one too....no such luck without paying a premium.

Has anyone used these for autographs. I have read sometimes characters won't sign them and I have seen that they will. I really want to use one of these for autographs but I'm worried the characters won't sign them.

Ahh, I'm so happy!!! I just search the Disney park shop app and the 9" vinylmation is listed. It's 29.95. My data signal was weak so i couldn't locate it on the map. But maybe @laufaeson if you have the app, you can search for it!

Problem is Disney stopped making them. I got a pink one on clearance for $10 a few years ago. We had no trouble having it signed. We did only have people sign that weren't in a costume. Mostly princesses. I got a glow in dark one for last year and then forgot it at home.

So there's your SKU. Call or email them and place an order. I did also call D Street at Downtown Disney, and they do sell them there as well.

We had no trouble having it signed. We did only have people sign that weren't in a costume. Mostly princesses.

That is great to hear! We're really only aiming for the princesses, Tink, Gaston, etc. Hopefully Mickey can sign, too.

Ti just hot mine in the mail for our November trip. I do not see why the characters would not sign them.

 

[laufaeson]

I do not see why the characters would not sign them.

Neither do I! I'll let you know when I return at the end of the month!

@MagentaMulan I was able to locate them on the app last night, too. As I mentioned, they are for sale at D Street. But you can also pick them up at Disney's Pin Traders at Downtown Disney, Mouse Gear at Epcot, Stage 1 at Hollywood Studios and Emporium at Magic Kingdom. Thankfully we're getting there earlier in the day now, so we'll actually be able to pick one up at Downtown Disney!

Oh, That's great to hear! I prefer to buy one when we get there! Thanks.

Hope they still have them late October when I get there. I want a 9" for the princesses to sign.

Since D street is not open, I was searching to see if they still carried these in park and called the merchandise number. I was told that the white 9" used for autographs is available for purchase at Magic Kingdom Emporium and some other shop at HS.. sry I cant recall name I was just happy to hear its still being sold, and its still $30. I almost blew over $50 for a used one on ebay, so glad I called.
