So years ago I went to the DISign board, printed out and binded an Epcot Passport for each of my girls. We finally went to every Kidcot station on the last trip, and had them both stamped and signed.
My girls say they want to do it again this trip, but I don't have the time to print them again, take them to Staples to have them bound, etc. I don't really want to buy them again because thats just one more expence...

So my question is - Has anyone ever brought back their already signed Passports back to the Kidcot stations, and have the CMs sign them again somewhere else?
 
Could you maybe do something else? Small photo mats for 5x7 pictures for each country maybe? You could get a picture of them in each country to put inside that mat.

I probably wouldn't redo the same passports but I don't think the cast members would care :)
 
I think that it would be disappointing for your girls to take the passports that have already been completed the previous trip.

I like the previous poster's idea of having a mat signed in each country or take a large mat and have all on one and a picture of them in front of a special spot in Epcot.

Hope you get some ideas that help!
 
I printed mine out on card stock at home and brought the pages loose in a ziplock bag. I had it bound when we got home. Maybe you have time for that?
 

We're opting to do a pressed penny from each country this trip instead :goodvibes
 
We did pennies in January. China and Japan don't have machines in them, but check the international gateway shop and the store at the entrance to world showcase from future world. All 11 countries have pennies, but even the cast members insist those two countries don't have them. Good luck!
 
It is your trip for your family. Everyone has an opinion but if the girls want them signed again, do what they want. You can suggest new options but in the end, happy family at Disney is what matters and only you know what that is.
 
If you are doing pressed pennies, there is a website out there with a list of all the pressed pennies available in ALL of Disney, which options are at which machines and their locations :) I printed it off before we left on our trip and that way if we were going to a certain park (even DTD has them) we knew where we wanted to look for the machines to get the 'must have' designs ;)
 
I'm assuming you were making them because you don't want to spend the $20 or so to get the ones they sell? (Can't blame you!) If that's the case, you can do a Google search and several options come up. There are some on Etsy that are $7.99 (https://www.etsy.com/listing/186054...nes-book-low&gclid=COf5krKg6L8CFTOZMgoddUYAJQ) or elsewhere it looks like you can find the "official" ones for a lot less (http://www.laughingplace.com/store/Product-4929.asp).

I haven't done it with the Passport, but with some other things, I have been able to just take a computer file to Stapes and have them print, cut and bind them all there. Super quick and easy. Not sure how much they would charge, though I'm betting it will be less than the $20+ of the ones you buy there.

Getting my passport stamped at Epcot as a kid was one of my best memories there, I loved it!
 
If you already have the file, you can send it to a Print Shop and have them compile. We've done this with 4x6 cards and they bind them and put a hard cardstock / plastic cover on them and it comes to ~$5
