The sheer fun of sending and receiving letters appeals to every child. There is something special about putting letters into the mail box and then having letters delivered by the postman. Waiting for your Disney character postcard to arrive builds the excitement for your upcoming trip.
Postcard Tips:
- Write a letter from each child going on the trip – so they will each receive a postcard in return
- Write to Disney characters you know greet guests at the Parks and Resorts
- Keep a copy of the child’s written letter – as a fun memento or for a scrapbook page
- Write as many times as you wish – or to different characters
Letter Writing Tips:
One of my favorite things in the world is getting “real” mail. Letters are valuable keepsakes…and letter writing can be fun!
Sending letters teaches even very young children many important skills.
- Handwriting skills – using neat handwriting, correct spelling, etc
- Letter-writing skills – tell the recipient about something that happened to you, ask the recipient questions about themselves
There are a lot of ways to make letter-writing creative:
- Very young children can send drawings and include a note with some help from Mom or Dad. (click here for Mickey Mouse coloring pages)
- Older children can ask questions – What is it like to live at Walt Disney World? What is their favorite ride or attraction? Where do they go on vacation?
- Or tell the characters how excited they are to visit them at Walt Disney World and share which ride or attraction excites them the most.

How fun! I had no idea that you could write to the characters AND that they would write back. We are going to have to do this…I think it will be our next handwriting lesson!
Thanks for the tip and for linking up at Real Family Fun link party.
