    Default Whooo Hoooo

    I love spreading the pixie dust around!!!!
    I have thought about this and have decided that we could do this for lots of occasions. Doesn't have to just be bdays or trips to Disney -

    What about get well wishes (someone you know is having surgery or to welcome a new addition ), bdays, anniversarys, purchasing new homes, who wouldn't want to get something from Disney for any old occasion??? I know I would.

    First day of school or big event for teens, good luck on the drivers test - Whatver the occasion. I still have openings so if you can think if ANY reason for me to send a PC to someone ( friend, relative, whatever ) just pm me and we'll get all the details.

    For instance. I know of a friend that is due to have her baby sometime in October so I am sending a little card to her as well from Mickey and the gang to welcome her little one - the baby may or may not be here when the postcard arrives, but it won't matter.

    This is too much fun. I only wish I could get to Disney more often to send these out!!!

    As an after thought - even once I get back from Disney I am willing to send out get well cards, bday cards or wahtever to people that you may know of that could use a little cheering up. It may not have a Disney postmark on it but I could still do post cards to anyone in need and sign it from whomever!!!

    Other boards call these Fairy Godmailers.

    People make requests for Fairy Godmailers to be sent to their kids or volunteer to send Fairy Godmailers to the first five responses.

    I have been just a bit too late for all the Fairy Godmailer Volunteers going in mid-August to try to get two post cards sent to my kids before our September 4th trip.

    This might be a dumb question . . .if I offer to do Fairy Godmailers for someone whose favorite character is Mickey, should I get the postcard and have Mickey himself sign it? What if the recipient checks their autograph book and notices it's a forgery?!?!

    I don't think you need to go that far with it - getting autographs in the park can be very time consuming. I can tell you that my oldest DD just went through our autograph books from our trip when she was 7 ( she is 17 almost 18 now ) and saw that even though we saw Mickey at least 3 different times ( chip and dale too ) that all of the signatures were a little different.

    I am hoping that the kids will be too excited to pick up on it. If they do I am sure that the parents can think of something to tell them.

    I can tell mine that maybe Minnie had to sign it for Mickey like mommy always has to sign daddy's names to the Christmas cards or something like that. again hopefully we won't have to go there.

    Also so as not to be in trouble with other boards I am going with "Mickey Mailers" for the title on this thread. Thanks to moderator Jeff for making that change for me.

    We are going to be in Disney Nov. 16th - 24th for Thanksgiving and I would love to send out postcards to anyone needing them around that time. I'll do like others have stated and send out to the first 5 requests I get. Also if anyone is going before our trip, say sometime in Oct. I'd love for my boys to get a "See you real soon" postcard. This is a great idea. I just love it!!!

    Okay, I have a question...What do we write on these postcards? Just see you soon or whatever the occasion is? Do the postcards need to be signed?

    Count me in. I'll be at WDW Dec 1-7. PM me and I'll do the first 5 responses.

    I love this idea! We aren't going soon, but I can't wait to be a part of Mickey Mailers when we do book a trip.

    Now is there any way to make this official with Intercot? I feel like we should have some sort of sheet with the dates of who is offering to send and 5 openings for postcards, etc. Something to make it easier to see if someone can send you a postcard, and something to make it easier for those requesting to put the address, occasion, character, etc.?

    Mods is that possible? I'd be willing to volunteer to help if that was necessary!

    All three of my children, girls, are going off to University/College this September, and we're taking a trip to Disney when they are done next April/May, would anyone going very shortly be interested in sending them good luck/see you next year cards? They love Disney and would love to get them! Thanks.

    What a wonderful idea! We had to cancel our trip for this year, so we won't be going until next August, but I'll definitely extend the offer to take part in a Mickey Mailing then. Can't wait to get to share a little magic!

    How sweet of you to think of this. I don't have kids and I'll be there in September so no postcards are needed here but I just wanted to tell you that, this is a fantastic idea. There should be more people like you on the planet.

    Count me in. We are going 10/29-11/04 I would love for our DS and DD to get cards before we go. I will return the favor then for two others when we are there. PM me if you can send cards or want me to send to you.

    I have sent postcards to various kiddos (some I know, some I don't) my last 3 or 4 trips to WDW. It is SO much fun to do. I assume the personality of a favorite character and tell them either that I can't wait to see them (if they are about to have a vacation) or that I miss them (if the vacation has passed). I know one little boy who slept with the postcard that Buzz Lightyear sent him! It would be GREAT to get a regular sign up type thing going for INtercot members!!

    I'm not going until January -- but would be happy to help anyone out.

    We received the postcard for my DH's birthday today.

    I went to my private messages to thank the person who sent it and I must have deleted the message!

    So, to the person that sent my DH the Minnie Sticker/Postcard,
