Getting a Postcard from the Main Mouse

With the advent of Pinterest there have been lots of bloggers pinned who talk of sending a letter to your favorite Disney character and getting a signed picture in return.  There is even chatter of getting a signed picture and “Just Married” button when you send a wedding invite.  I can vouch for the wedding invite having been a real promotion.  When I got married in 2009 I sent off an invite to the Disneyland address and got a signed picture of Mickey & Minnie in front of Sleeping Beauty castle (granted my name was spelled wrong and I did not get a celebration button) I was very happy with this little memento!

I decided with the new popularity to give it a try so I printed off an invite, changed the date, and mailed out a few letters.

If you send a letter to:

Walt Disney World Communications

PO Box 10040

Lake Buena Vista FL 32830-0040

You can expect to get:

A postcard from the fab five addressed to your family.  Some people still report the signed picture but I had no such luck.

If you send a wedding invite to:
Micky & Minnie, 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank CA 91521
Or Mickey & Minnie Mouse, 1675 N Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista FL 32830
You can expect to get:

A postcard with a cute congratulations and Minnie kissing Mickey image addressed to you and your spouse.  I have found info from people as late as last year who reported getting a picture from Disneyland but can’t seem to find anyone recently who has received anything besides a postcard from Walt Disney World.

Sure a signed picture would be a littler more personal, but considering this is a free extra I am very happy with my postcards! I have them hanging on our fridge right now and they will surely find their way into a scrapbook in the future! icon wink Getting a Postcard from the Main Mouse %tag

    I think even getting a postcard is worth it but if they return to the signed photos that would really be wonderful!

    Its a shame that they aren’t sending pictures anymore annnd that I lost my photo (It said “Congratulations Mellisa and Robert” though so my name was spelled wrong anyhow!)

    Same here and that is the exact address I sent to. I did this experiment about a month ago so this is a fairly recent change I would guess.
