First time cruiser

[brandijo5]

We are celebrating my 40th birthday next year with a 4 day cruise on the Dream leaving May 21, 2018. I have done some research, and I seem to be getting conflicting answers to a question I have so I come to the DIS for guidance. I have seen on several social media websites that you can bring a photo mat to guest services and they will have the characters autograph it for you and return it to your stateroom. I feel like this would be a wonderful memento to display around a photograph of our family on the cruise and a great way to remember our trip. However, I have read on several sites this is no longer allowed. Which is correct?

TIA and happy cruising!!!

It's no longer allowed. But, I believe, you can take it with you to photo ops with the characters and get them to sign it then.

It is no longer allowed; you will have to go to any and all character meets yourself with your photo mat and get is signed. I think they just got overwhelmed with all the different things and the number of them left to be signed.
