Get a Big Pen for Characters to Sign With

“Get a nice big pen for the characters to sign with. They’re pretty good at making do, but make it easier on the folks in the costumes.”

It’s an easy thing to overlook, but the characters who wear big gloves?  Don’t really have a lot of movement in those fingers. So it is really helpful to them to have a nice, big pen to sign with.  It gives them something to grip so that the autograph isn’t just all crazy scribbles.  They sell these in the parks but of course, at a markup, so if you can get one before you leave home that’s helpful.  We kept forgetting ours so we ended up buying like two of these before our last vacation was over.  At least they’re a nice keepsake too!
