Update: The got Goofy (Jacob’s 2nd autographed pic) in the mail yesterday. You could always write the characters on behalf of your child and you should receive the autographed picture in time to put it under tree.
How would your kids like an autographed 8×10 picture from their favorite Disney character? All you have to do is write them a letter at this address and be sure to let them know why you love them so much:
Walt Disney Company
Attn: Fan Mail Department
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521
You should receive an autographed picture back in a few weeks.
This is a great way to teach kids how the mail system works and help them practice writing letters of their own. I posted this back in April and a few of my readers (including us) have already received their photographs. My daughters was even personalized with her name!
(Thanks Busy Little Bee, Sarah and Melissa for the photos!)
Where do you put what character it goes to on the address? Like how do they know who it goes to. Also how do we guarantee we don’t just get a postcard back instead of a picture? Because I want a picture haha
They sadly only send the postcard now :(
Does it usually take a couple of months or is it usually 7-14 business days? I was hoping to get a picture back in time for Christmas… I mailed one to an address in Florida and got a postcard back but my step daughter would be really excited if she got a full 8X10 picture back..
Do the characters still send photos?
Does this cost anything? I seen one website saying the postcard cost 19.95?
No it’s FREE!
We sent a letter to Cinderella at WDW address and received a postcard with a printed message on the back. Very disappointed :( We sent Rapunzel a letter last October to the CA address and received the autographed picture. Maybe they have stopped doing the pictures because of the many requests for them. We are going to try one more time!
Can the Disney Characters still send autographed photos after they get any letters from the people?
I’m so bummed! I mailed a letter for my goddaughter and it’s been a little over two months and nothing has come. Have you ever heard of people not receiving one?
I’m so bummed! I mailed a letter for my goddaughter and they never sent me one .. have you ever not heard of people not receiving it?
This is wonderful! I wonder if they will send it to an international address…
I sent on in the mail today asking for Cinderella to sign one in time for my best friends birthday on November 11. Will it get here in time? Will Cinderella actually sign it?
Can you still get these pics? – I saw that the date is from a while ago, but I really want to do this for my girls! :)
All my son wrote was “Donald Duck you’re my favorite!” We didn’t have to request the photo, they just automatically sent an autographed picture. Like everyone else said though, it takes a while probably about a month for us.
AWESOME. Im fixing to write a letter for my boys..My oldest will LOVE this. I am trying to find a list of characters. My son likes power rangers and phineas and ferb wonder if they are on there.
Mine are typed up and will mail tomorrow. <3 They will go in stocking with trading pins to match! :)
Anyone know if Phineas and Ferb are available? My daughter is very into that show right now.
I would love to know about the list as well. My son’s favorite is Mater.
I just posted a picture on your FB page of my son with his personalized autographed picture! He loves it! He was so excited to get it!
When everyone is writing these letters, are you specifically asking for an autograph or autographed pic? Or are you just telling them how much your children love them and they just send the autograph pic? My daughter loves Belle!
My girls just drew pictures of themselves and their princess (snow white for my older daughter and Belle for my youngest) and told them how much they loved them and that they were their favorite princesses. We never actually asked for an autographed picture but that’s what we got.
They’re really cute too….it says “Princess so and so” (my daughters name), Love, Snow White/Belle.
I didn’t realize you could keep doing it though, my girls will be thrilled to find out they can write again!
Is there a list of which characters you can write? My kid’s favorites are some of the more obscure characters…Mater and Jessie. Just wondering.
And not to be a dunce or anything, but how do they know where to mail the picture back to?
Dunce – LOL. My daughter who is six wrote that she loved Tinkerbell and would love a photo. At the bottom of her letter I wrote – Please send an autographed photo to “name” and mail to : and gave her name and address.
LOL..Thanks!
Is there a list of available characters online somewhere, by any chance? My eldest daughter’s favorite is Tink’s fairy friend Rosetta, and I’m hoping she’s on the list. Great idea for Christmas!
Shannon – my daughter wrote 2 separate requests, and I mailed them together. Disney mailed the 2 photos together so you should be fine. Do it now, it does take a while to receive them. Or it least it did for us.
did you put them both in the same envelopes? and did they write to seperate characters?
Is there a limit of how many u can recieve? I have 2 daughters and I would love to add the princesses to her wall (she has a princess room) and my other daughter who has a pooh themed room. They would love these for Christmas. Thanks!
I am not really sure. We usually write a letter, wait on the pic to arrive and then write another letter.
AWESOME!!! I will be doing this! I wonder if Jack Sparrow does it too?? My oldest dd loves him….
I looked up disney world characters and I saw him on the list. You could give it a try!
WOW! I have never heard of this!! This is wonderful!! We will be doing this, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I requested a photo of the Fairies (or just Tink) for a friend’s daughter for Christmas :D. A cheap but cute frame around it and a wonderful, inexpensive gift!
My daughter received autographed photos from Tinkerbell and the Princesses. She wrote separate letters, but we mailed them together. The photos were personalized.
It did take almost 2 months to receive them but they are SO sweet.
Thanks for the tip
