    Default Autograph books/character meets

    Do you purchase an autograph book for every trip? Or bring back the older one and try to get all the characters you've missed before?

    We bought my son's book last yr when he was only 5 months old so we plan on reusing the same book this year since he really doesn't know much better.

    Just curious what others do?

    we buy the one with a place to put a photo and autograph, so we get one on each trip. They are great keepsakes and our kids love to look at how much they have grown.

    Default We get a new one every trip!

    Meeting characters and getting their autograph is a major part of every trip for my son.

    We buy the blue one and write the date inside so we can tell them apart when we get home.

    I'm a teacher, so I usually buy a separate one to fill and bring back to my classroom library.

    I feel bad wasting the unused pages, so I like to reuse the autograph books. I write the date and the name of the trip or celebration on the first page of each trip section. With that said, however, I am horribly forgetful and occasionally forget the book and end up buying a new one anyway.

    I have made one for my DS every trip- the characters love seeing them. Plus it looks nothing like anyone elses. Good luck

    We bought one for our 1 year old son. I plan on reusing the same one. In the back of the book I just write down what characters we get. That way if we are passing and see a line for a specific character I can just see off hand if he needs them or not.
    Each trip I do make a scrapbook of pictures so in there he will see what characters he met on which trip.
    I just want him to have a book with all their autographs.

    Lightbulb different idea

    we are heading down in 27 days...
    an idea I saw was a canvas bag or back pack. I got iron on letters for my kids names and we are going to get the characters to sign them with fabric pens.
    we have two autograph books and i wanted something different!
    It will be a great souvenir that they can use

    Anyone ever had them sign a t-shirt?
