    When getting character signatures at Walt Disney World, can I bring Markers into the parks? I was told by someone the at they are no longer letting you use markers, only pens. Is this true? If I bring a marker will it be confiscated? Thanks!

    Hi Margaret,

    I'm not really aware of any change in policy.  In fact, my family and I were there in early December.  We went to the park each day armed with an autograph book and a Sharpie.  About halfway through the trip, I did switch to using a pen --  but only because I saw Mickey with those big white gloves, and the mom in me started to think how difficult it must be for him to keep his hands clean.  Just make sure that if you do use a marker, have it opened, and let a responsible adult place the pen in the character's hands.

    Hope this helps.  Have a magical vacation!

After spending 25 years in RI, my husband and I relocated to GA with our youngest, who is now in high school. I took my first trip to Walt Disney World when I was 11 and I have traveled many times since then with all different party sizes. From creating our first itinerary as a honeymooner to later creating magical experiences for our multigenerational family gatherings, every aspect of planning a vacation has been pure joy to me.  Learn More About Diane
