Update: It seems Disney is now sending autographed post cards instead of 8×10 prints. They are still beautiful and fun to receive, but I know they aren’t what you expected. I’m glad they are still doing something though!
The post card above was received by my reader Kelsey when she wrote Cinderella. Here is the back side:
Below is the previous post:
I have very exciting news. Disney World will also send you an autographed picture when you write a letter to the following address:
Walt Disney World Communications
P.O. Box 10040
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-0040
We wrote a letter to Cinderella and received an autographed 8×10 colored picture within 2 weeks.
Disneyland sends black and white character photos when you write a letter to this address:
Walt Disney Company
Attn: Fan Mail Department
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521
The picture will arrive with 4-6 weeks.
Letter Writing Tips & Ideas
- You can write repeated letters to each address. I have received multiple pictures from both addresses.
- If you have multiple children, they can each write letters. My kids mail their letters on the same day.
- I suggest you write characters that you know greet guests at the Disney Parks.
- We wait for our picture to arrive and then send the next letter the following day.
- How to write a letter is a great skill to teach your children. By writing their favorite characters, you are teaching them how to write a letter and how the postal service works.
Be sure to email me when your latest picture arrives!

LOVING THIS
Amanda H says
Has anyone sent a letter in 2015, all the comments I am reading are from 2013 and before, I am wanting to know if they have frozen? and about how long did it take to get the pic/postcard?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
I’ve heard of people getting postcards recently, but it took them several months to receive it. I haven’t heard of Frozen being included so far.
FEDORA says
hi i am from Nigeria
Jessica says
Disney tried to be helpful and reply to all the children’s letters until social media came on the scene and they started receiving hundreds of thousands of letters not even from the children most are just from parents asking for FREE photos. Disney only sends the postcards they DO NOT send any autographed photos. Come on you are asking for something FOR FREE then disappointed that you don’t get it. we are all lucky that disney sends anything, they don’t have to and if people keep posting that they hate the postcards, they may stop sending anything at all. it can’t be cheap to send hundred of thousands of postcards all over the world. at least they are doing something to try to make up for what some person promoted on social media. blame the person that started this mess not disney
Jennifer Nash says
Is Disney still doing the signed pictures and post cards? I have 3 kids that would love this but wanna make sure that Disney will still reply back to them.
samarah abdallah says
we went to Disney it was so fun thank you gus for making it fun
Christy says
I sent in letters for both of my girls over two months ago and I have gotten nothing back. My oldest daughter was very excited to get a picture of her favorite character and we got nothing. She even drew an a picture for them. If Disney isn’t going to honor a picture or post card deal. Then they SHOULD NOT advertise this!!! I am VERY disappointed we will not waste our time with this.
YOU PEOPLE ARE BREAKING LITTLE KIDS HEARTS!!!!
Hailey Damian says
Just send one yourself then. Just don’t put a return address on it. Problem solved.
Riley says
I Have been waiting and waiting, I sent it more than 2 months age and it’s taking super long… What’s With that?! they promised a 4-6 week time frame but now i have to wait longer. I sent it to the one in Florida for Anna & Elsa to sign. I just hope I get it soon, before I go to Disney World in the Summer
Elle says
My 5 grandchildren all sat down one afternoon and sent letters to 5 different Disney characters. That was over 6 months ago. We have not received anything.
Sid says
do you know if they still send postacrds if i write from the UK? and if Rapunzel replies or should i do it to Cinderella +co
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
I’m really not sure all the countries they write to :( They send a post card with all of the Disney Princesses, Rapunzel and Cinderella are included.
Felica says
do frozen charcters send one?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
No, they don’t at this time :(
Stephanie Mikesell says
My son wrote a letter to Olaf the snowman from Frozen and waited about two months for a letter back when it finally came it was a postcard from Mickey mouse. I was so disappointed and my son was heary broken. They should have at least sent a frozen postcard NOT mickey mouse thats not who he wrote to. Imagine my sons feelings when he wrote the letter to Olaf and the reaction when he got something from Mickey.
Gracie says
Do you know if “Princes” such as Flynn Rider would possibly send a postcard back, or would it only be princesses and the basic characters?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Not that I know of :(
yeji c says
Im planning on sending a letter to disneyland for peter pan. will they mail back a postcard?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
They send a post card but only with Disney Princesses or Mickey and Friends, not Peter Pan :(
ashleigh says
did anyone get a photo from elsa ,anna ,ariel , merdia, stitch and lilo
dee says
my grandsons just got back from Disneyworld and were so excited. one grandson is only 2 and told me his fav characters but cannot write yet – can grandma write the letter with the character names for him? :)
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Yup, you can definitely help him. :) I would just let him add a picture to it.
Celeste says
If you send a wedding invitation you’ll get a signed postcard from Mickey and Minnie. I invited them to my wedding last year and got the postcard about a week after the wedding.
Jason says
This is awesome. I did not know you could do this. I am going to have to write some letters with my beices. They will love doing that. Thanks for this article.
Nicole says
I wrote dumbo for my little brother and I never got one back. I sent it last year before x-mas and nothing. and than sent one out again and nothing again. my brother is very sick and I know dumbo is his fav person from Disney and I was hoping I would have it before his 9th birthday but nothing its kinda making me mad that Disney would do this. I have always been a fan of Disney my first time going was when I was 3 and I never had any disappoint before but now I am kinda mad. if someone could help it would be great. I really want this for him. and I want the 8×10 one not the post card. so plz help me
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
Sadly they only send the postcard now and it either the one with Mickey and Friends or Disney Princesses :(
Vickie Rawson says
I sent a letter to Mickey & Minnie Mouse in October 2013, and never received anything back from either address. Very disappointed. Sent picture of family also. What’s up with this?
Bec says
Hi guys! Desperately want to do this but do you know if they post to Australia? Thanks a bunch!
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I’m really not sure on that :(
Renata Braga says
Hi, does anyone know if they will respond to international letters?? I dont live in the USA, but my kids love Disney characters.
Valerie says
My niece n nephews wrote them in November Ann’s still haven’t revived norhing yet. When they check the mail and are sad.
Heather Marshall says
I’m very disappointed as my 2 little guys wrote letters to Mickey Mouse & Woody. They wrote these letters to their favorite Disney characters back in November, and have not received a letter, postcard, or ANYTHING back. They have been very patient, but are starting to get upset about it. Not Cool! :(
Ariel says
Does anyone know if you can write to jack ans sally from nightmare before Christmas?,
becky says
I was just wondering if I could write the letter for my son as he can’t write yet but he would absolutely love this
Lau Quinteros says
Does this work in the Argentina (South America)?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I’m not really sure where all they will send to.. :(
alex says
can you get them sent to a different country such as scotland????
Sarah says
Do you have to send pre-addressed and stamped envelopes for them to write back or do they send out their own? If I do not supply one, will we not get a reply back?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
No, just put your return address on the envelope you send like any other letter. :)
Sarah says
Ah great. Thanks. Oh and will both addresses just send back those generic postcard things? I mean theyre cool but i wanna know what to tell them, dont want to say that the characters will write back and just get Micky’s card back..
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
They have only been sending the postcards lately. :(
Shannon says
So, if I want to get a picture then I need to provide an envelope big enough for them to send me a picture back in? And I need to have the correct postage on it as well? I want a Minnie one, color if possible for my 2 year olds room.
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
They only send a post card now :( You don’t need to provide an envelope or postage.
Melissa says
I keep seeing this advertised on FB and viewed this site after I sent 2 letters on behalf of my son 2 months ago…still waiting for the response or the arrival of the photo/post card!!!
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
As far as I know they are still doing it… it can take 6-8 weeks to get the post card..
tracie says
Do i need to send multiple letters for cars princesses and mickey and the gang
tracie says
I have grand children tht love the disney movies… my question is where the post cards r signed by all the characters do i still need to send in multiple letters for like the princesses, cars and Mickey and Minnie???
Karen Jonker says
I have a 5 yr old granddaughter who would love anything
From Disney princess and two grandson that woulda ve anything
From Lightening McQueen ( or any of the male characters )
So Mickey would do. If I write to the address for the boys and
My granddaughter writes hers is there a slim chance the wod get
Picture. We are in Australia so if you would like postage
Paid envelopes that’s fine just let me know how
Much, as Disneyland is a long way for my grandies
And while its probably to far to ever visit I am
Sure they would be happy with a picture
Nannie Jonker
Sharon Gray says
Does this work in the UK?
Emma Wyse says
Do you have to put a stamped addressed envelope in with the letter and do you think they will send back to the uk? X
Jennifer says
I live in Canada will they send pictures there?
Sonia says
Sure!
Jenny says
My son LOVES Ariel. I have just sent one to her. Can’t wait to get it! no matter what I know he is going to love getting mail from her.
Sonia says
You can have not just autographed post cards, but full personalized letters and photos from your favourite characters at http://www.magicmails.biz.
Just $1 for the digital copy, and $6 for the paper copy in your mailbox.
Worth a try!
jen says
i was wondering has there been any luck with these? i want to do it for my nieces birthday.
Kayla says
If I write Peter Pan, will I get a response or just the autographed post card?
Sonia says
In http://www.magicmails.biz you can get a full personalized letter and a photo with Peter Pan for just 1$
Leslie Ramey says
Thanks for letting us know about this one. I don’t know if me or the kids are more excited! Haha
Shannon Issette says
It is now June 5, 2013…………today in the mail I received a Disney Princess postcard because I wrote to Cinderella and I asked her to have her girls to sign me their autographs! A GREAT 100% SUCCESS!!!
Mimi says
Well, about 2-4 weeks ago, I wrote to the WDW address requesting Peter pan’s autograph, but today, I received a postcard of Mickey and pals… *sigh* its kinda disappointing, but at least they replied.
Juddy says
My daughter had a mickey and minnie themed birthday party at Goofy’s kitchen last year. We sent an invitation to minnie and mickey inviting them to attend. We thought it was a long shot since we were told that they do not typically show up there. However both Minnie and Mickey showed up together at her birthday party. She got a small free cake given to her by mickey and a gift from minnie as well. Then since my daughter was dressed as minnie, Minnie mouse paraded her around Goofy’s Kitchen so that everyone in the restauraunt would tell her Happy Birthday! It was definitely a very special surprise that we got just for sending a letter. I was told that they showed up because of the invite which is why they only took pictures with my daughter’s party guests before leaving.
Mimi says
(I apologize if I’m repetitive) but if I write to the CA address requesting Woody and Buzz, or any other character, they would just send me a postcard of Mickey or the princesses? Would my best bet be to write to the FL address instead? Thanks!
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I think that they would send you the post card of Mickey.. I think if you write a princess it would be the princess post card.
Emily says
Do they do the Winnie the Pooh characters?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I haven’t seen them, but you could try!
Shayna says
I’m wondering if I send my invitation to Belle that I can request that I only get a picture of Belle or an autograph of Belle back? I am not fond of Cinderella and Belle has been my favorite since I was 3! Any suggestions??
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I don’t think they are doing those anymore :( Just the postcard…
Elianna says
How do you send it to a specific character? Do you just address it to them?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
Yes, you would just address it to them. I’m not sure what they are sending out now besides the princess postcard :(
Alyssa says
How do u send a pic to magic kingdom or even disney land
Alyssa says
To Minnie
From Alyssa
Minnie you’re the best! You are the reason I really want to go to disney. I love to go inside your house. I never want to leave. Another reason I love your house, is its so PINK! I love you so much I even have a big Minnie Mouse doll in my room. I’ll see you soon! Love alyssa I will see you soon! ;)
chloe and molly says
writing to nemo – you are the bestest fish in the sea you will soon be the king of the sea i think prob will be :) <3
samantha says
So they will just send you a signed picture? Nothing else? And do you tell them your age?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
They send a post card now, you don’t need to tell an age :)
Shannon says
We are taking our 3 girls to Disney World this summer. I think this would be a great way to get them extra excited (not that they aren’t already thrilled) about our trip! Thanks for all info!!!
Shannon Issette says
Hi. It is now January 2013……does te disney character you write to still sign you autograph pictures?. I’m a big fan of the disney princesses: Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Rapunzel, Snow White, Mulan, Tiana, & Pocahontas. Can you email or what’s the current mailing address to write them in Florida?
Hugs:)
Shannon
Shannon says
a friend of mine just mailed them two weeks ago and her girls got back signed post cards from the princesses. =) We are mailing ours tomorrow! =)
spluff says
I really want to know if they send things to Australia because I have two really excited cousins who have written to Cinderella and Ariel, I have told them they may not get anything but I would be disappointed for them plus I wrote to Tinkerbel and I really want something back! Please answer!!
girasol37 says
I’m teaching in Spain and was wondering if you’ve gotten any response yet? I’d love to have my students receive letters from the characters!
Val says
I love this idea & will definitely do this with my daughter. She understands that just because she does something doesn’t mean she will always get something in return & if she gets something it may be “generic” & such. But like she says “I don’t care mom because that is not the point. I am grateful just to be able to do it.” We will just have to figure out who we will write first :-).
Sarah says
Just wanted to say this is such a cute idea! I sent 2 letters (for each kid) from Canada the second week in December, and we got 2 postcards yesterday in the mail! My daughter (2yrs) thought it was the best thing ever, and ran inside to show her dad!
Thanks again for the info!
Daniel says
I sent in a letter to Roger Rabbit possibly a couple months before the switch to postcards and I got a pic nicely signed.
Samantha says
Do you know if Minnie Mouse does it? That is my daughters favorite character and I think it would be really cool for us to send a letter every year. We are celebrating her first birthday in just a few weeks!
Jessica says
Both my kids sent a letter to each address 3 months ago after 2 months we sent another letter… Still nothing back so I’m disappointed and they are so sad! :(
Amanda P says
I sent a generic “Hi. You’re my favorite.” They sent my sons Mickey and friends postcards and my daughter the princesses.
Leah says
What are people writting in the letters? I’m just curious what kind of information I should include.
Julie Margaret Ann Amos says
I am a huge fan of all of the character’s but my faverite ones are Mickey,Minnie Mouse & since their Birthday is tomorrow I would like to wish them a very Happy Birthday & hope to see them all again I just love Disney World so much that I feel like I found lot of Friends that I believe in to make us smile .
Kate says
Is it ok to type up a letter or hand written? And if you send more then one letter for separate kids do you need separate envelopes?
Denise says
This is so cute. I love your blog. We are planning to go to Disneyland next year. it will be daughters first time
Smee says
First, thank you for sharing the idea of letter writing and the fun of receiving a reply. This is a fun idea and who knew?
Second- I feel sad that many of the children writing letters are disappointed, however, are we teaching our children to write letters or to beg for a photo? As a parent, we should be careful and cautious when setting “fantasy” expectations for our children that may not be fulfilled.
Perhaps we should tell our children they may write to their favourite character to say “hello” or to share an experience and leave it at that. Then, weeks later, when/if the child receives a postcard in the mail it will be an *unexpected* surprise rather than a disappointment.
briannah says
seriously. reading through all these comments has me a little disappointed with what the parents are teaching their kids. if anyone is disappointing them, they are.
Lee says
It’s not so much that the parents/kids are disappointed because they’re receiving a generic postcard instead of a personalized photo, it’s the fact that the kids are hyped up about getting a response back from their favorite character but instead receive a generic postcard that more than likely doesn’t even include the character they wrote to. It’d be like texting something important to your best friend and getting a response from a stranger saying “I like cheese.” People aren’t being greedy, they’re feeling disheartened. Don’t be so quick to judge others.
Val says
Very well said. My thoughts exactly. It’s a fun little thing to do, it’s more about the experience not what someone can get from it.
Sharon F says
Good perspective. We are going to write a letter for practice and maybe they will get a postcard back. That would be fun!
Meagan says
I’m a little sad my daughter wrote Cinderella and got a mickey and friends post card bake witch is grate but I wish it had been a princess. I might write bake and ask for another one. I think it’s cool but I was sad.
Clefairy says
Can I write letter if I am from Europe? (Czech republic)
Lewis says
I think they don´t, but I am not pretty sure.
You can always ask for your letter here: http://www.magicmails.biz
They have the main princesses and other characters and they send it by PDF to your e-mail (for $1)

Sadie 8 years old says

chotta madden says
i had seen that if you send a wedding invite to cinderella or mickey and minnie that they will send you a photo or congratulations any idea if belle and beast do this as well?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I’m not sure who all will… :(
Indya says
Curious…..If I send a photo myself, and a SASE to send it back, do you think they would sign it and send it back? has anyone ever done this?
Aaliyah Jones says
Hey, it`s Aaliyah Jones I was seeing how Tinkerbell, jessie,Aladdin and every body eles is doing. So just wen you guys get done reading my words send me a message on yahoo.com. Bye TTYL see you letter
Emmy says
Does anyone know if they have Mulan sign any? Because I want to get it for my sister’s birthday and if they don’t have Mulan then I will try to get Rapunzel to sign. Please let me know if you know. Thank you.
BOLTsBiggestFan says
I’m going to send one to Bolt the super dog, as I’m his true #1 fan and he’s my ultimate hero! That’ll be a be-awesome addition to my already massive BOLT collection ^.^ BUT, a question – do they do this for people in different countries? I’m from the UK, and I’m slightly discouraged that they won’t mail to the UK :C
kendi says
Hey, I’m a preschool teacher from the Philippines. Does anyone know if Disney responds to letters from overseas? Thanks!
Alyssa says
I am pretty sure they do. ;)
Mariane says
Guys, do you know whether they send these post cards/photo overseas? I’m from Brazil.
Thanks!
Lewis says
I think they don´t, but I am not pretty sure.
However, you can always ask for your letter here: http://www.magicmails.biz

Casey says
In regards to which Disney character’s to write to who are in the parks I found this information:
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/entertainment/character-greetings-magic-kingdom/
“You may meet these Disney Characters during your visit to Magic Kingdom theme park:
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Donald Duck

Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty
Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie from the Disney•Pixar Toy Story series
Tinker Bell and her Fairy friends from Pixie Hollow”
When we went to Disneyland a few years ago, I know we saw Winnie the Pooh and friends. I also found this helpful link for Disneyland and where to find their characters:
http://www.disneymouselinks.com/Disneyland-Characters-A-Z.aspx
Michael says
We just got back from Disney World and my daughter met most of the princesses, but we missed Rapunzel. We tried to 2x but couldn’t see her and she was disappointed. While at the park I suggested to her that we write a letter to Rapunzel, and she just dictated it to me (she’s 3). Thanks for the address, putting her letter (and drawings) in the mail today! I’ll keep you posted.
jesse says
i would love a autographed picture from cinderella but i do not know how to email her i wish i kenw how

Riley says
A friend of mine works for Disney, he’s an Anthropologist (surprised that Disney employs anthropologists?! I was too). He had the 8×10 photos sent to my kids during our Princess phase, so I asked if he knew anything about the postcards. He asked around and said that the requests for character photos have tripled in the last year, and the postcards are basically a quick fix for the growing correspondence issues. So it looks like the 8 x 10 personalized photo era is over. :( Pinterest is amazing, I love it, but this is one of those few times that mass tip sharing stinks.
Emily says
I send my letters in for my students a year ago and still haven’t recieved anything(i sent them in December)
Emily says
Sent**
Rebecca says
I just wanted to update with our experience. Here is our blog post. http://blog.seaofclouds.com/maisys-letter-to-cinderella
Super fun idea! Thanks for posting :-)
Audrey says
i was wondering if it would work with Alice and the mad hatter (from alice and wonderland.) oh and also is there one where i can send them a letter possibally of a new idea for a movie… it would be amazing if ANYONE could make that happen :) thanks
***Audrey***
Landon Ward says
I wrote Alice and the Mad Hatter a few weeks ago. Haven’t received something yet!
Taylor Kerekes says
Hey. I sent a letter to Daisy Duck at the Walt Disney World address and I haven’t got a response yet. What should I do?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I can take a few weeks to get anything back…
Katie says
Do they still send mickey and minnie ones or just the post cards? also do they send special ones for 21st bdays?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
Lately I heard they have been sending post cards, mostly with princesses on them… I’m not sure about special ones for 21st birthdays, I haven’t heard about that.
April says
Does anyone know if they send one overseas (Australia)?
This may seem silly, but my Mum loves Mickey Mouse and I wanted to surprise her for her birthday
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I’m really not sure if they do or not… :(
Holly says
We sent 2 in on December 1st and still haven’t gotten anything back. Maybe we will try again soon :) cute idea though
Evan says
Do the characters still send people autographed photos?
Ashlie says
My class has written letters to the characters. I had them bring in stamped evelopes. What I am wondering is do I need to send a self addressed envelope for them to put the pic or postcard in? Or do they just look at the return address on the envelope the letter is sent in?
Katie says
Does it matter how old you are to write the characters?
Evan says
No, it doesn’t matter how old you are to write the characters
Kelsey says
So we sent two letters out on February 5, one to Cinderella (Disney World) and one to Rapunzel (DisneyLand). I actually got responses back this week, but they both sent us the same postcard. (I’m assuming one’s from FL and one’s from CA) It’s just the one with all the princesses on it.
We were a little disappointed that we didn’t get signed photos but it’s still way awesome that they sent us something!
Here’s what they look like:
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lznrzgLcjp1r5ybtfo1_500.jpg
http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lznrzgLcjp1r5ybtfo2_500.jpg
(and yes, they were both signed by Cinderella; I think they’re printed that way)
Jenica says
Thanks for sharing this! My 5yo just wrote and sent a letter today to Cinderella at Disney World. Crossing my fingers that she gets something back!
Sophie says
I got my two little cousins to write to their favourite princess’ today and I’m going to send it tomorrow, I’ve not said that they will definetly receive something back as I don’t want them to be disappointed and we live in England. Do you think they send to England??
Heather W. says
Sadly, my four kids wrote to their favorite characters at Disneyworld, but instead of 8x10s, now they’re sending out little postcards with pictures of all the princesses on. We just got them a few days ago. Disappointing. Do you know if Disneyland is doing the same thing?
charlie says
hope i get 1 to never mind my little bro lololooloollolololololol
charlie says
hope my little bro gets a nice 1 !!
Kelsey says
Do you have to include extra postage/return envelope? Or do they just send it to you for free?
Nina says
I had my whole 2nd grade class send in letters. We didn’t get autographed pictures like I told my kids they would get. They got generic postcards instead. Needless to say I learned my lesson. Better luck for me next year hopefully!
Katie says
We wrote to Aurora and Snow White in Nov., and last week, received a generic post card w/ all of the Princesses on it, signed by Cinderella. When I read it to DD (3 yo), she was disappointed that Cinderella wrote to her, and not the ones we wrote to. So much for a lesson on letter correspondence. I guess she learned that when you write someone a letter, you don’t get a response from them. Great. I know beggars can’t be choosers, and I understand cost-cutting, but I could have bought a generic post card at Target & signed it myself. Not impressed.
Btw., my 4-yo nephew wrote to Jack Skellington & received the generic Mickey Mouse post card. Now, HE was PISSED!
Elyse says
My kids wrote to them in December, and today we got two postcards in the mail. My son was disappointed because he wrote to Phineas and Ferb and got a Mickey and friends postcard back. My daughter wrote to Rapunzel and got a Disney Princess postcard. She liked it, but she was a little disappointed as well. I told them they were neat and I hyped it up and they ended up liking the postcards. We may try it again. Maybe they were overwhelmed in December. We will probably try both addresses this time to see what happens.
Elissa says
WDW does the same thing. My class wrote to Lighning McQueen and Rapunzel in September and a couple of weeks ago, we got a “personalized” letter from Mickey and enough princess and Mickeys pals postcards for every student. They were excited, but I was disappointed. I guess it’s all for the kids…
Maybe Disney is bombarded with requests they can’t do it anymore?
Nada says
Can I send e-mail instead of letters ?
Sarah says
We just tried this about a month ago and yesterday we got a postcard with the drawn pictures of the princesses :( My 5 year old still loved it but I was sad. We wrote to Ariel and now she wants to do Minnie Mouse.
Allison says
Hi, just wondering do they send a reply to Australia??
thanks
Allison
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
I’m really not sure if they would send to Australia or not… :(
angelica says
Does it work for you?
I’m not from USA and I’ll like to know
thanks
Dee says
Allison,
if you are still getting replies…did this work for you?
Naasiha says
This is awesome! I LOVE DISNEY CHARACTERS! I’m going for Tinkerbell, Jasmine, Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, and many more! I JUST LOVE THEM!
Briana says
Did you ever get one back of Tinkerbell?
Lindsey says
I love this idea but i don’t know if we can really complain that much I mean it’s free you just have to keep trying I guess
Cherie says
My daugter sent to letter ro Repunzel in Dec. 2011 and she got a black and white, signed 8×10 photo. It took about 3 weeks. Maybe it depends on how busy the mail room is? We’re sending letters to both addresses tomorrrow.
Katie says
I have had the same luck as Camille and Missy. We wrote to Rapunzel and McQueen and just got a printed postcard back. We were VERY disappointed. I included a self addressed stamped enveloped also. Kinda bummed about this. It wasn’t even personalized or signed. VERY LAME-O
Evan says
Why don’t you just let the kids send the characters a big self addressed envelope? When I do fan mail to some of my favorite people, I send them a self addressed envelope so I can get it quick.
Stacey says
I wrote letters, on behalf of my son, to both Disneyland and Disney World at the exact same time. I received an autographed pic from Disneyland, but nothing from Disney World yet.
Evan says
I have 2 Disney Character Autographed photos. I have one from Peter Pan and one from the Aladdin Characters.
kierra says
Which one is the disneyland address, and which one is the disney world address?
Camille says
Just a heads up. My 4 year old sent a letter in early November. We got a response, but it wasn’t a photograph it was a printed postcard. Kinda bummed. 4 year old really wasn’t awed. Guessing Disney changed the protocol.
Missy says
Same here, my 2 nieces and my 2 kiddos wrote letters. Over a month later we got 1 postcard back from a character we didnt even write to. It wasn’t signed, it was printed. My kids were so sad :( I did find this website though:
http://www.disneylandpostcards.com/disney-character-autographs.html
I’m guessing Disney changed to this but I dunno
Alison says
If you read the fine print at the bottom of the disneylandpostcards.com website- it states that they are not in any way affiliated with Disney.
Sonia says
We send personalized letters from many characters, together with a realistic photo of the kid with his/her favourite one. Just for $1. Go to

layne says
I would really like a list of charecters if you don’t mind….have 3 little ones who can’t wait to write but would really like to show them who all they can choose first. Thanks a million they r so excited
Cat Mince says
Hi, I have had my students write letters. I was wondering if I could send them all in the same envelope or if I should have separate envelopes. Any insight would be helpful.
Evan says
I will try to send one of my favorite characters a Christmas Card.
Melissa says
I am having my 2 boys each send a letter to their favorite and then sending one of my own that asks their character to mention that we will see them in March…it’s my way of telling them we are going to Disney :)
Evan says
That’s really cool. What characters did they write to? If I send any characters a Christmas Card, What will happen?
Melissa says
We have not sent them yet but are going to in the near future. My youngest will probably write to Mickey but not sure who my oldest will write to. To answer your question about sending them a christmas card, I would imagine they will send you something back. That is a good question.
Amber says
Did this ever work out? I was wanting to do this now for our upcoming trip!
Stacy says
I mailed my letters Oct. 19 and still haven’t gotten anything back yet. I was hoping to have them to use to surprise my kids with our trip on Dec. 3. Looks like they’re definitely running on the late end of that 4-6 week time frame :(
Evan says
Just be very patient
Evan says
I recieved autographed photos from characters from Peter Pan and Aladdin, but I’m still waiting for more. I wrote to Mr. Incredible, Merlin the Wizard, Alice & the Mad Hatter, Toy Story Characters, Brother Bear Characters, Captain Jack Sparrow, Meet the Robinsons Characters, and Hercules.
Kelsey says
Could you let me know how the Hercules one works out? I’m thinking about writing to Meg. I’m 19, and have no shame; I didn’t find her when I went to Disneyworld, and for some reason tonight I’m lamenting over that fact and really want to meet her, but an autograph will do!
Stephanie says
I also sent one hoping to get a picture for my daughters 3rd birthday party which is Cinderella themed. Its been 6 weeks with no letter back :(
Ellie says
My class wrote to two a month ago and still haven’t gotten anything. Is this normal?
Janey says
Hi, can you write a litter to Peter Pan ? Is it even forth it for my daughter to send a letter ? Please let me know !!! Much thanks!!!
Alondra says
Can anyone write to the characters ? I mean does it matter how old you are ?
Christine says
My daughter is 3 and she can’t really write yet. Is it okay if i write the letter for her and she signs it or does the child have to write it themselves?
Marnie says
We did this 3 weeks ago and haven’t received a letter back. How long does it usually take. My little one is getting discouraged.
Megan says
Does anyone know if I can put my letters in the same envelope or should I do separate ones for each kid?
Amanda says
Writing to Cinderella: perfect handwriting practice for my preschooler! “Dear Cinderella. I love you. Can I give you a hug? Amy” – with a heart at the end, 4 year old style.
Hayden says
I mailed one in on October 30 to Florida. Will it be here before or on November 11th?
Lauren says
Would you include the character’s name above the address or just in the letter?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
I just put it in the letter.
Hayley says
Has anyone had luck with Stitch? The one from Disneyland of him was not a pic of the costume, it was just a colored print out. I was hoping to have better luck from WDW since I’ve seen him around.
Jessica says
So… Will it work for TInkerbelle? Because she is DD’s current imaginary friend and I think an autographed picture of Tink would be a BRILLIANT Christmas gift…
Elissa says
At a little loss what the kids should write. Any ideas?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Mine just write how much they love them and their movies. :)
Amy says
Is it free?
Alyssa says
Yes
Kristen says
If you send your wedding invitation to either the above address or the one at Disneyland, you’ll get an autographed pic from Mickey and Minnie, wishing you congratulations, or if you write to Cinderella, you’ll get an official proclamation signed by Cindy and the Prince, about your marriage :)
Tiffani says
I am getting married and I would love to get one From Cinderella just cause as a kid she was my FAVE lol… So just write Cinderella or send invitation? Have you done it before?
Crystal says
I can’t wait to do this with my kids – perfect rainy day project!
Leslie says
My 4 year old wrote the most adorable letter to Marie. I guess the CM couldn’t decipher her handwriting, and she got a picture of Mater in the mail. It’s kind of funny now, but she cried hysterically when she opened it :/
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
Aww! That is so sad :(
Nancy says
Do you have to ask for the picture in your letter? Or just write a general letter to a character?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
You just write a general letter to any character :)
Kristi says
Did you include a self addressed stamped envelope with your letter or just the letter itself?
Savannah says
1) if you don’t put an address on the envelope how is Disney supposed to know who to send it to. And 2) you can’t send anything without an envelope and stamp…
aj says
Self addressed stamped envelope is an extra envelope inside the letter you send withYOUR address on it. I am pretty sure kristi knows how the mail works. And no I dont think you do need a self adressed stamped envelope.
julie says
Do you need to send in $ with the letter, if so how much?
Kristin of Couponing to Disney says
No, you don’t need to send any money. :)
Danielle says
Are you still doing the letter to the Disney characters? I want to do it for my two little cousins for christmas this year so i can be the best cousin ever
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
They do a post card now, but I hear it takes a while to get it back lately. :(
Kimberly says
ooo, great homeschooling project! Much for fun to work on handwriting when it involves Disney. Thanks!
Mary says
This is great! My daughter always got upset because the characters were not in front of Cinderella’s castle. She will be glad to have the new address!
Whitney says
I’m so excited for this! I might do it for my kids as a present for Christmas!
denise reyes says
How can you get a list of caracters that are available to both locations?
Karen Long says
I would love to know if we can get an autographed 8 x 10 or postcard autographed from Rapunzel. My granddaughter absolutely loves her. If there is a charge involved I do not mind paying for the autograph
Lucas says
You can also get the letter from http://www.magicmails.biz
It’s just $3 for a digital letter and a photo of the character with the child, and $12 if you want they paper copy in your mailbox.
They’ve got Rapunzel and many others
Kim says
We’re going to be writing letters to Ariel and Minnie Mouse today. It’ll be a nice project for us. Thanks for the info!
Amy B says
My 3 yr old insisted on writting a letter to Mr. Smee… We sent it to the Disneyland address because that was the only one I knew of. We just got a reply in the mail yesterday- he got an 8×10 of Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, all personalized and signed. He was overjoyed! Such a wonderful thing they do! I can’t wait to send some letters to WDW now! Thank you for posting this!!!
Ray Ray says
Where did you send the mister smee letter to FL or CA?
my son luvs them too.
steph says
What address did you use please
Mari says
Do we have to put a postage stamp ?
marion says
I did not and we just got our post cards . The kids love them.
Hayley says
Yay can’t wait! I did the Disneyland one, now to do this one! Think WDW can do Stitch since Disneyland couldn’t?
Karen says
This is awesome! Thanks for the info my daughter will love it.Good tips as well. My youngest son would only want to write Lightning McQueen so I think I will have him pick another Disney character… one with hands perhaps ??
maddy says
I heard lightning mcqueen does send autographed pictures back, but im not 100% sure (:
Katie says
We wrote to McQueen and did not get a autographed picture back. We only got postcards and not even of Cars characters (Mickey and Pals.) VERY DISAPPOINTING
Jennifer says
We wrote to Mickey Mouse [CA address] and also got a postcard of Mickey and pals. My daughter was really excited anyway, but we will try WDW next time :]
Jesking33 says
He does :) My son wrote his to Lightning McQueen and got a signed pic back.
mary says
how long did it take for your son to receive his pic?
Meghan says
Did you send Lightning’s letter to FL or CA?
Lacie says
Which address did you write to? I have heard that Disney World sends postcards & Disneyland sends photos. My daughter would be ok with the postcard since it has all of the princesses, but my son would be disappointed if it was the Mickey one, because he loves Cars and Toy Story.
LMouser says
My grandson likes a character from “Airplane” and he got postcard of Mickey, Pluto, Donald, etc.
Mateus says
I really love disney but I think u guys need a spanish princes.to
Alexandria says
I have a picture of all 10 princesses I would love to get that signed for my daughter. I really like it cuz all of the princesses are in it and my daughter kid all into the princesses
DarciHeck says
Dont send anything that you woruld like returned- i have heard a bunch of people saying they sent birthday cards and pictures and they were NEVER returned. which sucks if it was an only copy of a picture or something.
Sonia says
Hi! I think too that a Spanish princess would be a great idea!
What do you have in mind?
Maybe a misterious andalusian with deep dark eyes? A beautiful dancer from Argentina? A brave mexican woman?…
David says
How about a teenage version of Dora The Explorer in the days of Cortez?
Patricia says
Dora is on Nickelodeon not Disney and Sofia is a Hispanic Princess
Madi says
Does anyone know if I could get one from repunzel?
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
I think that Rapunzel is included in the Disney Princess post card, it’s signed by them all. :)
SANDY says
they do have a hispanic princess.. She is princess sophia!
Karol Price says
My Great Nephew loves most of the Disney characters so i will be helping him write a letter to a few of his favorites.
Hannah says
Yes, Lightning McQueen sends autographs. Someone posted a picture of their signed postcard by him on pinterest.
Cay says
Is there a cost to receive a post card? If yes what is the cost? If not, do you have to send a self addressed stamped envelope.
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Just the stamp to send it :) They send postcards in return now.
