Disney Family Vacation T-Shirts - copyright/trademark issues?

[ancestry]

I am trying to come up with a t-shirt design for our 2011 family vacation (1st one ever with all kids in one trip).

I'm trying to come up with a design for the shirt (don't want to use our family name or the kids names on the shirts) and I need to find a style that everyone will like to wear (we has DD8, DS8, DS15, DD19, DH 42, and myself).

I've come up with a few possibilities but I'm not sure what images I am allowed to use on our shirts that won't violate any copyright or trademarks of Disney. I don't want to be walking around the parks and have someone stop us because we violated a law by printing the shirts. We aren't selling them, just using them for our personal use (the six of us).

Does anyone know what I can and can't us? Can I use specific characters or if that off limits?

Anyone have a good design they have used previously that they might be willing to share?

Thanks!

I'm going to transfer this to the creative DISigns forum as I'm sure they can answer your question much better than I can....and I'd hate for you to keep waiting for answers if no one posts on the arts/crafts board today....

You can use the Disney character images on your shirts as you wish....as long as they are created for your own use!

Maybe a DISigner on this board will be able to assist you!

Check out the sticky notes for more info!!

Don't worry about being stopped either. We get asked a lot about our shirts and we just tell them they were homemade. The CMs that ask normally want to know where they could get one too. No one has ever stopped us and given us grief over using copyrighted images.

HTH!

and to start the ball rolling......

I have this one that has been very popular with names on each balloon but can also work with something to represent each park and other DISigns for WDW!

Hi Rustman! I loved that image. Would you be able to put my party member's names in the balloons and at the bottom put Dominick's 5th Birthday Adventure December 2013? Thanks so much!! Please let me know asap.
