Tip Tuesday: Using a click-sharpie

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for another WDW tip. For anyone whose been at WDW and worked to get character autographs, you have encountered some general truths about the process.

1. Standard pens don't work well - characters can't see what they're writing
2. Regular sharpies mark all over the place

When the Sharpie folks came out with the click-sharpie, I knew this was the perfect writing tool for getting character autographs. Many characters have large hands (Mickey and Minnie are great examples), so they have a hard time signing books. With a sharpie, the line is thicker and bolder, so characters can more easily see what they are writing. But sharpies by themselves can leave marks where you (and the characters) don't want them. With the click-sharpie, a character can easily have it ready to use and then retract afterward. No lid to worry about - no fuss.

One note -- DON'T get the ultra fine point - the line it draws is too thin. The fine point is what you need.

Try this the next time you're getting character autographs. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Come back next week for another Tuesday Tip!
