Here’s a fun activity for your kids to do this summer. They can write a letter to their favorite Disney character and get a postcard back in the mail within about 3 weeks.
Disney World will send you an autographed postcard when you write a letter to the following address:
Walt Disney World Communications
P.O. Box 10040
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-0040
Disneyland will send you an autographed postcard when you write a letter to the following 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
- The letter can be about anything you want. My kids usually tell their favorite character how much they love them.
- You can write repeated letters to each address.
- If you have multiple children, they can each write letters. My kids mail their letters on the same day.
- We wait for our postcard to arrive and then send the next letter the following day.
- Writing 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.

I am working with students on a letter writing unit and thought this would be a fabulous option for writing because receiving mail back from Disney would be motivation. Imagine my student’s disappointment when what they got back was a letter saying they no longer send postcards and to “please visit us at any of our locations”.
Letter was sent just before Winter Break (late December) and return was last week.
