Hi, there!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Ann Marie. We love when you stop by!
I'm so happy to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort next month. What a wonderful way to begin the new year! It sounds like you plan on including lots of Character Experiences in your touring plans. An autograph is a must-have when meeting new Disney friends! Autograph books can be purchased at retail locations in the theme parks, Disney Springs, and even Resort hotels. They range in price from $9.99 to $19.99. To browse available options prior to your vacation, I recommend downloading the Shop Disney Parks mobile app. You can search for autograph books there, and even find the specific locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort where they are available for purchase using the map feature.
I have a few tips for managing an autograph book during your vacation. Prior to your visit, purchase a retractable Sharpie marker. Since these markers don't have a cap, Characters can quickly and easily make their mark in your book! I also suggest keeping your autograph book in a Ziploc bag when you're spending the day in the theme parks. If you get wet on a water attraction like Splash Mountain, or get caught in a passing shower, your autograph book and the precious signatures inside will stay nice and dry!
I especially love to meet my favorite Disney Characters at Character Dining Experiences. What could be better than fantastic food AND fantastic company? If you haven't made a reservation for one, not to fret. Restaurants like The Crystal Palace and Hollywood & Vine often have walk-up availability!
I hope this was helpful, Ann Marie. Please visit us again soon!
