Collecting Character signatures is a fun and frugal souvenir for your Disney vacation. Traditional autograph books are sold at Disney parks and Resorts. However, for some creative ideas, this is a fun list! Read, 5 Creative Character Autograph Collection Ideas, including a custom MagicBand!
1. Photo Mat
Photo Mats are found inexpensively at craft stores. Then, store a photo in the center (or if you run out of room, keep on collecting signatures!). Above is an impressive collection of Character autographs. I love the use of different colors to add to the fun!

Does anyone still buy postcards? They are still sold at Disney World, in a variety of your favorite park icons, characters and more, and they make a frugal souvenir. Have a character sign a Postcard, to keep, or mail to friends or family!

I had old Disney movies on VHS. Cut the front cover from the jackets and had those signed. It was super adorable when the characters would point at the pictures and then themselves. The face characters would be like oh yes, I remember this…..

We used Disney Encyclopedias one year. They were heavy but it’s a great keepsake.

My 2 daughters have the same initials. Before our May 2016 trip, I went to a craft store and bought the large wooden letters for their initials (CCP). I also bought craft paint in a mauve color that complemented the wall color in their shared bedroom. I had already found some metallic- colored sharpies in gold and silver on sale. I painted the letters prior to leaving for our trip. We let the “characters” choose which color sharpie to use for each of their signatures at the meet & greets. We got so many positive comments about the letters. My girls LOVED it!!
