Paying it forward

[surfergrl31]

This is my first trip to disney, but my 2 ds and dd are staying at home with the grandparents before we return hopefully this fall. I plan on sending them home postcards while we are there so if anyone would like for their little angels to recieve one I will probably be able to handle a couple more. I will be there Feb. 27-March 4 just send me a PM and all the info I would love to spread a little pixie dust.

I just wanted to relay my experience with this - we are leaving on Thursday and my kids got 2 postcards from Minnie and Donald today. Of course, my DD6 is all excited but my DS12 is looking at me kind of suspiciously. He can't figure out how I managed to get a postcard with an Orlando postmark but he clearly suspects that I was involved somehow. And despite all his almost teen attitude - I noticed that he hung it on the fridge!!! Thank you JWWI!!

That is how my DD12 and DH acted, when my Dh received his postcard from Mickey. My DS 4 was so excited and the other two just look at me with that look on how did you do this, no one ever asked how, but you see that look that they are confused. They all talked about Mickey sending the card but as of today 6 mos later no one ever asked how it got to us. It was great.

Hi KKmauch-
We are going to WDW 6/25- 7/3.

Do you still have any openings to send cards?
I am a newbie and cannot pm or email.
Thanks!

I wanted to thank everybody for the wonderful response. I have seven families who loved ones will be getting a little pixie dust through the mail. I'm sorry, but I think I have all of the families I can handel at this time, but I just wanted to thank everyone and hope that my little ones will recieve some pixie dust before we go back this fall.

Hi All !
Okay, so I have read some of the posts on the 'Pay it Forward' board, and would love to have someone send a postcard from one of the 'Princesses' to my niece! We are going in April - May, and would love it if someone could send her a post card before our trip telling her how excited they are that she will be coming there soon! She is 3 1/2 and this is her first trip ever to Disney...she is excited beyond compare!
(I would send a PM...but I don't know what a PM is...! I am obviously a newbie)

NeedaVacation03 sent a postcard to the little boy that I watch and he was so excited to recieve it! He couldn't believe Mickey knew he was coming to see him. I can't wait to "pay it forward" when I return to the World and make another child as happy as Nicholas is! Thank you, NeedaVacation03!

Here's something I have had success with in the past:

Buy your Disney postcards, fill them out, address them to whomever, apply postage. Put them in another envelope with a note which reads something to the effect of "Please Mail Enclosed Card". Address the envelope to "Postmaster", city, state and zipcode of where you want the card to come from. I have done this several times over the years for my DD's and the "Postmasters" have always come through for me.

Next trip September 2007

Reached my limit! Thanks for letting me share the magic!


I leave Weds! I'm only experiencing the magic for a day so I'll take the first 3 (already doing some for my friends here before their spring break) PM's with all the important info for a postcard from the Kingdom!

name, address, fave character, anything special you're doing (will Mickey see you at Chef Mickey or Pooh at Crystal palace?)

For the newbies,
to PM just click on my screenname (suzflee) and drag down to "send a private message to suzflee"

We will be at WDW Feb. 3rd through Feb. 9th, and would love to send out some postcards for those with more time left to wait!

I just wanted to thank Soccerdad. My DD received her postcard and was thrilled. Thanks for making her day.

I have Hallmark Mickey card I'd love to have postmarked from the DTD Scrapbook store (if they still do this) or even just from LBV for my DS. I will mail it to you in an outer envelope if you can sign it and address it for me.

And I promise to pay it forward for others when we are there in April.

Please let me know if you can do this!

Thanks!

Hi all! I am new to this site, and I am addicted! My husband and I are taking our son in May to celebrate his fifth birthday. This is his first time, and he is very excited, counting down the days on his calender. I would really love it if someone could send him a postcard. He loves mail so much as it is, this might even be too much for him. If there is anyone out there who would love to make the week of a very sweet little boy, let me know. Also, I would be thrilled to mail some postcards out if anyone is interested, we will be there the week of May 13-19. Thank you so much.

Id love to seem my DD5 and DS3 faces when they get a Postcard from Mickey, Did you send it to them yourself? what is a PM?

 

[treeshaker]

Hi everyone,

My DH and I are going to WDW the END of March. I will send post cards for 10 kids.

Please PM names, address etc and any special thought.

 

[moondoggie]

For any of you who are interested, I just bought a very cool 'mouse ears' shaped postcard at my Hallmark store. It has shiny black ears, and a felt 'cap' portion with the MM Club logo--it is not flat, but you can mail it without an envelope! The writing on the back says 'See Ya Real Soon'--just like the old Mickey Mouse Club TV show (ok, I'm showing my age!). It was expensive, 4.99, but too cool.
This would be especially good if you have kids who can't read or who don't understand 'postmarks'.
Anyway, I have mine up in my office until closer to the time that I'm going with my DS--then I will mail it to her.

Hey treeshakr, I would love it if you could send my son a postcard. Unfortunately, I can't PM because I don't have enough posts. If you have room for one more, I could email you my information. Have a good time. My email is leslieseagle@yahoo.com. Thanks.

A PM is a private message. Just read these posts & see who will be going in the time frame that you need and click on their username and you will see "send a private message". Just give them info of your kids (name, address, character & any special message you want on postcard) and they will tell you if they can send your kids a postcard while they are in the world. You can see if you have any private messages yourself in the top righthand corner of your screen under where it should say Welcome Tomker. Then next time you go to Disney, you can post your trip dates and maybe return the favor for someone else if needed!

Hope your kids get their cards! I just got back so won't be returning for a bit or I would help you out.

Hi Treeshaker
I'm also only at 4 posts and I can't send private messages yet but if you aren't at your postcard limit yet I would love to get one from the world for my kids
