Which Disney Characters Sign Autographs?

For an up to date list of which Disney World characters are currently signing autographs – and where – visit The Trophy Wifestlye.

Our experience with a personalized Disney Autograph Book!

When we travelled to Walt Disney World for our Disney Wedding and Honeymoon in 2005 I decided that I would like to collect some Disney autographs – but wanted something different to the standard book they sell in the parks.

I made a list of all of the Disney characters that appear in the parks and then settled down in front of the computer to design a customised page for each of the characters. I used pictures of each character and added quotes from their movies, or lyrics from songs to decorate the pages.

After creating a page for each Disney character I printed them out and glued them into a spiral notebook. I glued the images to the right hand pages of the book, leaving the left-hand pages empty to add photographs after the trip.

This worked really well; but I think if I were to make another Disney autograph book in the future I would keep the pages loose and use a clipboard to hold them together. That way you can leave signed pages in your hotel room so they won’t get ruined. You can then either slip the Disney autographs into a photo album with the photos or use them for scrap booking.

When I got to the parks I was quite shy lining up to have my photo taken amongst all of the children in the line – but the characters loved their pages! The page I made for Flik had a picture of Hopper on it and when Flik saw it he put his hands over his eyes in fear and pretended to run away!

Friends who printed out the pages to make autograph books for their trips had similar reactions from the characters, and the children all experienced great interactions because of the book.

Why not get together with your kids to make some personalised Disney autograph books of your own for your trip; they could draw pictures or their favourite characters, or decorate the pages with stickers. You could even print out some clip art from sites like: Disney Clips or Disney Sites to stick in your book.

If you want to see the pages I made you can get them here:

Feel free to use them to make your own book if you like them!


So many great ways to make your own Disney autograph books for your Disney World vacation!
