Disney Characters Autographing Stuff?

[Elias1901]

I have a question based on an idea my friend and I had regarding meeting characters on our upcoming trip to Disneyland this August. We thought it might be cool to have the Disney Characters sign store bought t-shirts rather than in an autograph book (figured getting them to sign a tee was "cooler" for us big kids ). Do they do this or have any problems doing this?

We plan to visit a couple character dining places such as Goofy's Kitchen and the Plaza Inn for Breakfast, as well as maybe hit-up a few meet and greet spots at the Disneyland Resort theme parks themselves. I just want to be sure that if we hand a character a t-shirt and a sharpie marking pen that they will go ahead with signing it and we won't be stopped by their handlers.

Thanks for any help!

They will sign most anything, but I don't believe they'll sign a shirt while you're wearing it. But if you just brought it up to them they'll sign it.

Thanks for the timely response Strmchsr! Yeah, we weren't going to put them on and have them write on us. We probably will just have them folded to the section of the shirt we want written on a clipboard that we'd store in our backbacks or something. That way they will have a hard surface to write on, gotta think of the characters too!

Does anybody know of any good shirt brands for writting on?

[Strmchsr]

Yeah, we weren't going to put them on and have them write on us.

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people asking for that!

My friends that have done something similar have had good luck with plain Haines undershirts. White usually shows up best, obviously.

Any ideas besides Sharpies for the characters to use when signing? I just realized if we use a Sharpie we will never be able to wash the shirts or else the ink will smudge/come off. Are there any markers *made* for this sort of thing?

[Strmchsr]

There are specially made "fabric markers" for this kind of thing. Most of the craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michael's) carry those. You can also look on Amazon. Use the link under ICOT Affiliates to make sure Intercot gets credit for the sponsorship.
