Wondering if people still sending postcards from WDW ?

[AstridJMF]

hey
I was surprised because there are near no postcards from Disneyworld, there are like 5 models which are from 20 years ago, so do you send postcards from Disneyworld?
Maybe is it a french thing to send postcard from our vacations (well even if we dont send not many for Christmas or any holidays) ...

I do. I find the best (and cheapest) post cards in places like Publix and I drop them in the mailbox on Main Street in the MK. I've some friends at home that come to expect them.

When my kids were little, my mom would always purchase cards and mail them from there to my kids when we were on vacation together. She would sign off as if she were the princesses or Mickey and thank the kids for coming to visit. It was a special treat when we got home to get them from their favorite characters. Of course - the cards would end with - "See ya real soon!"

This is a fun idea! Sadly, Disney World seems to emphasize magic bands and pins over postcards. Universal and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter however... they make a big deal of it.

What is a postcard?


Lol. I remember as recent as 5 years ago, i would purchase about 20 post cards,then i would sit by the pool, eat breakfast, and write them out then mail in the lobby. Up until about 3 years ago i would still purchase but haven't sent a card sent. But with apps, texting, social media that killed apps.

I haven't sent a postcard in a couple trips. When I was a kid and now through today I started collecting Disney postcards. I have them in a large photo album, and it is fun to look back on some of the older ones. Sadly, I haven't been able to add many new ones in the last few years.

I used to, but I haven't the last few times I've gone.

Sometimes I'll send a resort-specific one to a few people when I'm staying on-site.

I also use an app/website called Touchnote. You can upload any pic, add a message and they print and send a very high-quality postcard. I'll do that using pics from the trip.

Sad when the fun stuff from yesteryear is replaced with electronic babble and electronic garbage. We used to send ourselves a postcard all the time. My mom would send them to her friends.

I sent a couple from my last two trips. I see them in almost every shop. Usually on a spinning rack somewhere. I had all of the princesses at Akerhaus sign a card to send to a friend

Friends and family look forward to receiving post cards from me. I've been sending them for so many years, that it's always a part of a vacation trip to WDW! (I also think part of the appeal of receiving a Disney postcard in the mail, is that at least it's not another bill to open for the recipient! )

I always send postcards, but then again, I'm French Canadian so maybe it IS a French thing. There's just something about getting a "real" letter in the mail that just isn't quite the same.
...however, this past summer I sent 4 from Disney, but only two were received

Is it wrong that I always thought that sending postcards was a way of bragging that you are on vacation and the receiver of the cards is not? Maybe it's just me.

I get how it can come across as bragging. That is why I usually hold on to my postcards for at least 4 - 6 months after my trip...then send them off. Makes for really awkward / confused dinner conversation around the holidays though.

I think it depends on how the postcard is worded. Some things come off as bragging but I think for the most part postcards are just a fun way to share with people at home. Just a slower version of Facebook.

 

[Mukta]

I do! I send them to friends and family each trip.

 

[AstridJMF]

yeah, really like the universal Harry Potter ones thats why I was surprised Disney has always few from the 90s...
