pen for autographs...

[KB'sMom]

I have made an autograph book for my DD to collect autographs while on our trip. I keep hearing retractible sharpies mentioned,but the only ones I can find are ultrafine tip - is that what others are using?

I have used regular pens and they turn out fine and the characters didnt seem to mind using regular pens

My cousin is a CM and lives with some of the "characters." They prefer the bulky retractable pens. Disney actually sells an "Official Autograph Pen" that is twice as thick as a retractable Sharpie, which helps the gloved characters hold the pen better

We used the retractable Sharpie pens on our last trip. The characters did fine with them!

Have fun!

Were they the ultra fine tip though? I kind of thought that they prefered a heavier line.

I found an 8 pack of chunky and fine point **PASTEL** sharpies at Walmart tonight!!!

I plan to ziploc them seperatly then ask the (human) characters to pick their own color. I bought silver metallic just for Cinderella, though.

I find 'giant' pens all the time at the dollar store. They have a very large barrel for the characters to grip easily and they often have themed ones. We have one with a pumpkin on the end of it, a flower on the end, Mickey Mouse, Toy Story, etc. The characters always make a show of noticing the pen theme. They love to 'sniff' the flower pen.
