No more bringing items to be signed...

[mevans9066]

Actually someone on another board got an email off DCL which listed a number of inclusions and exclusions beyond an autograph book. It lists as below:

Able to sign:
*Any autograph book
*Disney branded items that are appropriate to that character. For
example, Cinderella would not be able to sign a Buzz Lightyear item.
*Disney stationery
*Disney approved photos - only characters in photo can sign the photo
*Disney notecards
*Disney Dollars - once signed would become souvenirs (no longer legal
tender)
*Clothing - must not be worn when signed

Not able to sign:
*Flags of any nations
*Receipts / banking slips
*Money
*Skin
*Non-Disney merchandise
*Non-family friendly / obscene items

Sorry thought it had been posted over here too but just realised it hadn't been

So this doesn't list a photo matt as a yes or no item, should I leave my 8x10 matt I bought at home?

I'm guessing a generic photo mat would fall under the broad umbrella of "Non-Disney merchandise" and would not be allowed.

Yes, the characters will sign a plain photo mat... this is quite common in the parks.

By non-Disney merchandise, they are referring to other company branding... for example, Mickey could not sign a Bugs Bunny shirt, or a poster from a private travel agency or business etc.

I see what you're saying. But going strictly from what the person above quoted as what DCL sent as an email to a guest, then a photo mat doesn't fall under the category of "able to sign" items either. By all means, she should take the photo mat and give it a try since it won't take much space in the luggage anyway. But I just don't think she should get her hopes up that it will, without a doubt, work on the cruise.

Well the characters on the Cruise are trained to the same company standard autograph rules as the parks, so unless DCL suddenly deviates from standard policy, she shouldn't have any trouble.

Ah, but what is the 'industry standard' for characters signing photo matts?

"Industry standards" Bwahahaha! !! Good one!

Just came home from a DCL Alaska cruise this week... While in the line at character meet and greets, I saw several people get plain photo mats signed. I also saw at least one pillow case get signed (thick cardboard or something similar was placed inside it so ink didn't bleed through). My son got our Castaway Club backpack signed, and I even saw I saw a kid get a Captain Mickey plush toy get signed by Donald Duck (which I thought they wouldn't do based on what I read here).
