Ahoy there, Ricki. Welcome to planDisney.
I’m delighted to see you’ll be sailing on the
Disney Wonder soon! Character meet-and-greets are so fun and interactive. And having them sign an autograph book during these immersive encounters is a great way to remember your Disney cruise vacation!
When you’re onboard, stop by
Mickey’s Mainsail to purchase an autograph book, as well as other
Disney Cruise Line merchandise. There are usually a couple different designs to choose from, including a cruise-themed one, and the prices vary. I recently purchased one for my nephew during his first Disney cruise and it was in the mid-$20 range. Please note that onboard ships are not open until the ship sails into international waters, so it’ll likely be in the early evening on Embarkation Day before you can purchase an autograph book on the Disney Wonder. One downside to this is not being able to capture autographs of Disney characters who you may encounter on the first day. Also, supply is limited as they only carry a certain amount of merchandise onboard.
I browsed
Disneystore.com and was not able to find any official Disney autograph books, just as you had mentioned. Have you checked out customizable autograph books from Etsy? Perhaps you can create your own autograph book using a small sketch book (since the paper is thicker and better quality than a regular notebook). Have fun embellishing it with Disney cruise-themed stickers or cut-outs. Part of the fun is getting ready for your Disney vacation as a family! You can also bring along assorted colored markers for your favorite Disney characters to use for their autographs.
Once you’re onboard, connect your phone to the ship’s WiFi to access important information on the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. You can find each day’s schedule of activities, including when and where to see your favorite Disney characters.
I hope this information is helpful for you, Ricki. If you have more questions as you continue to plan your upcoming Disney cruise, please don’t hesitate to visit us on
planDisney again.
Bon voyage,
Kiki
