We are taking our girls (almost 7 and 4 1/2) to Walt Disney World over Thanksgiving this year. I want to get them autograph books before the trip. I found some on Amazon that are made by Disney, but they don't say how many pages they have. Where did you get your books? Did you design your own? All suggestions welcome - thanks!
My son got his from Disney World, I think there's 10pages front and back but it holds pics as well. It was around 15$
I just got a basic $7 or $8 book, blue with the characters and the palace on it, AT DW. Right when you get off the train thing, before you get your ticket taken, there's a store to the right and that's where we got it. AND free "first time at Disney" buttons to wear on their shirts which are cute souveniers but also got the kids a little attention at some things....we just kinda mentioned how excited we were for our first trip, and the sales lady was like "Oh, hold on!" and brought them for us.
I prefer sharpies to pens: a lot of the characters that are animals have a little trouble holding smaller things, and the sharpie was a little fatter, and someone in Animal Kingdom thanked us for our choice of sharpie over pen. (A regular size sharpie fits perfectly in the pen loop of the book we got). I took a picture of him with each character he got an autograph from, and taped a copy of the picture onto the page opposite each autograph so he could enjoy looking at it that way.
ETA: taping the photo to the pages like I mentioned, the book doesn't close flat. Probably because I have the picture taking up the whole page instead of making it smaller. Oh well, it's not that big a deal. He loves it, and heck, it holds itself up on the shelf since it's slightly open, lol. Just thought I'd make that note...
I bought a bound 3x5 notecard book at hobby lobby and decorated the cover. And I put Disney character stickers on the pages. There were many blank pages too We brought a sharpie that clipped on the book. Our 4 year old loved finding the character's page for them to sign. Have fun!
I just bought a spiral small size sketchbook and pens at Michaels and decorated the with Disney stickers from there. It cost me about $3 per kid I think. You don't need a lot of pages, unless you want to spend all day in lines waiting on characters. What I did was make sure each signature was across from a blank page though, cause I took a picture of them getting the autograph and put that across from the autograph in the book. It was kinda neat when we went back six years later and compared the pictures.
we bought ours the park...my 4 year old went through 2 of them in 3 days!
I bought it on Amazon and then saw that they sold the same ones there. I wanted mine in advance as it is what I used to tell my son we were going. But if you can wait I would just buy it there. The one we got was the red cover one with space for pictures and I want to say it is at least 25 pages. You can probably cross reference on the Disney store website (or call a Disney store if you have one in your area)
Have a magical trip!!!
We also bought our kids autograph books AT Disney World. They were inexpensive and fun for the kids that they were Disney.
I'd get the ones with photo slots.
We will be going in December for the first time. The cheapest books I could find were at yourwdwstore.net Just type in disney autograph books in their search box & there are lots to choose from. If I remember right they were only $7 or $8 plus it's optional if you want to order a Disney pen. I think the pens were $1.95. It took about a week for them to arrive & I am extremely pleased with the books & pens.
Have a great time...and if you don't mind p.msg. me after your trip with any tips and let me know the things your girls enjoyed the most. Have a great time!

I make handmade journals for a living, so I would design my own.
I bought small scrapbooks for each of the kids and just brought pages with for autographs. Then after the trip, we added pictures, fast passes, pages from brochures, etc.
My daughter was 8 and I had her write do all the journaling in her album. It's my favorite album that we have and now that she's 14 she laughs at her writing and comments.
We had always gotten them at the park and some hold pictures. It's nice to keep the signature with the photo taken at the time of the signing. The ones we usually got have about 30 pages in them. That should be more than enough for one trip to all the parks.
PS: that is a very busy week here.
we bought ours there, they weren't expensive
There are so many on Ebay! This one has 100 pages:
