Did you know that you can send mail from Main Street U.S.A in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World? During one of our recent trips, my friend Melissa from Sippy Cup Mom asked if I could get Mickey Mouse to sign a postcard for her son and drop it in the mail for him. Why had I never thought of this before?!
How to Send Mail at Walt Disney World
Pick up a postcard at most any shop in the parks. Most shops usually have stamps for sale, if not they can direct you to one that does. All Disney resorts have stamps for sale too.
Make it Official!
If you are in the Magic Kingdom, head over to The Newsstand shop, located just to the left of the turnstiles as you enter the park, before you go underneath the train station. They have an official Main Street U.S.A. rubber stamp to make your mail official!
Meet Mickey Mouse
When you meet Mickey, be sure to let the castmembers know that you’d like him to sign a postcard for you. If you don’t have a marker/pen – don’t worry, castmembers have one you can borrow.
Drop it in the Mailbox
If you’re at the Magic Kingdom, there are mailboxes located up and down Main Street U.S.A – just drop it in! Other parks typically have mailboxes at the front of the park.
Spread the Disney Magic
Let your friends and family know you’ve sent them a special surprise. They will be thrilled to have mail from Mickey – it’s a small gesture that will mean so much to them. And it’s fun too! (If you really want to be sneaky – don’t even tell them you sent it!)
Repeat!
Sending friends mail from Mickey Mouse has quickly become a new tradition in our family. We love trying to decide who to surprise with a postcard! Give it a try on your next trip to Walt Disney World – I bet you’ll love it too!
Sending postcards to friends has quickly become a tradition for us. We have already started talking about who will receive the next postcard from Mickey!
What a super cute idea!!! Especially fun to do on your last day…. how WONDERFUL would it be to receive a postcard from Mickey when you return home!
This is a great way to share your trip with friends and family who could not go with you.
So cool to get a note from Mickey!
How cute! I’ve never heard of this before.
Very cute idea! I wonder if Disneyland has an official stamp as well. Going to check that out the next time we visit.
We love to send–and receive!–mail from Main Street USA!
What a fun idea to do while you are on vacation. Thank you!!!
What a great idea! Love to send mickey mail!
Im alittle older but sense i was a little girl i always loved mickey mouse. I could never save enough money to go see him. Im a 36 year old girl thats has alot of mickey mouse stuff. Qhat would be awesome to my collection is a signed picture of mickey mouse would make my year so good.
Wow this is awesome! My kiddos would love to do this!
This is so cool! I grew up going to Disney and didn’t even know this, we will have to do this next time!
We are huge Disney fans and we have never thought of doing this before. My girls would love to get mail from Mickey.
What a GREAT idea! Thank you so much!
What a fun idea! I had no idea you could do this!
That’s a great idea & keepsake! Will have to remember this!
How cool!! I had never even thought of doing such a thing! We’ll totally have to do this the next time we’re at the Magic Kingdom!
The kids will love this! Thanks.
That is SO fun and brilliant! What a meaningful tip…my kiddos would just BEAM if they received a letter from MICKEY 🙂
This is a great idea!
You can also sneak and write an “it was great to meet you note” for your own kids and have the character(s) sign that. Then when you get home, they’ll have a special treat waiting in the mailbox. (Also consider bringing along a birthday card and get your kid’s favorite character to sign it while you’re there. Then stash it for the big day!)
This is awesome
This is a great idea!
What an awesome idea! Who doesn’t love Mickey mail?
I love Disney!!
Oh man, my kids would have loved this when they were younger.
Great idea
my boss just left for Disney; he goes three times a year I’m going to give him this site
How cute! Mickey is FANTASTIC! My little Granddaughter would be thrilled to get a card from Elsa 🙂
Such a fun idea!
I had no idea you could do this!!!

Cute and simple!
Love this idea! So easy to send a souvenir and not have to haul random knick knacks around.
I love this! Hopefully one of my friends will be going this Summer around my daughter’s birthday, and I can talk them into having Cinderella send a postcard for her birthday! She would love it! Thanks so much for the idea!
Love this!
Never knew this! Thank you.

I wish I had known about this before we went to Disney in 2014. Will definitely be doing this our next time around!
Such a cute idea!
So cute!
What a fantastic idea!
What a cute idea, my grandchildren would love this.
This is cool, I never knew! I wish I could send my Christmas cards with the Main Street stamp, but we’re going at the wrong.
This is such a great idea! I’m definitely going to do this the next time I go to Disneyland!
Such a cute way to send “postcards” from your trip!
Gonna do this at Disney World!
Fun idea! And mine would be Goofy!
Thats cute
Definitely would want one signed by Goofy!
I’d love to get mail from Mickey!!!!
Super cute idea!!
That would be a lot of fun for kids!
Such a cute idea!
I never knew this, it’s a cute idea for the kids and I hope to try it out on my next visit
That’s so sweet and fun for kids to do. They will really remember this because how many kids mail anything these days?
Love this idea!
We sent mail Rom Mickey we had him sign after photos,and sent it out from main street!the kids loved it
Will have to do this when we go
I love this! It would be awesome to get one from Pluto!!
great tips! Thanks!
this is cute love Mickey
I wish I had thought of that when I wanted to send something from WDW back home to our grandkids.
What an adorable idea!!! You can send them to the family friends kids that could come. It would make them feel special to get something from Micky
I love this idea!
Cool!
What a great idea! Thanks!
Wow I love this idea! My kids love getting mail and it would be even more amazing coming from Mickey Mouse!
I had no idea you could do this! Next time, it will be a “must do”! What a great idea for a souvenir and a way to keep the magic alive after you’ve returned home.
Definitely doing this when I go next time. my kids would love it.
I have been to Disney World several times and how did I not know about this! It didn’t even come to mind to have a character sign a postcard for someone. Oh my gosh, next trip will be on our must do list and the kids will have so much fun with picking out postcards and sending them in the special Disney World mailboxes!
I never thought to have a character sign a postcard! What a great way to bring some Disney magic home to those who could not go!
Love this idea!
Great idea for little kids! Actually my 16 year old would probably love getting mail from Mickey!
No matter how much you think you know, there is always something to learn about Disney! This is awesome!! 🙂
my grand kids will love this.
The kids will LOVE this! Thank you for letting us know.
My kids will love this.
Super helpful! Thanks 🙂
I didn’t know you could do this! How fun!
What a great idea! Wish we would have done this when we went!
So fun! I need to do one from Minnie for my Mother. 🙂
I need to do this for my kids!
Flynn Rider 🙂 or Jack Sparrow
This is a wonderful idea! I hope I can afford to send my grandson to Disney World so that he can send one to his classmates back home! Oh how I would love to see his face when he sees everything… Magic through the eyes of a child is the most precious! Thank You!
Super cute idea! I had no idea you could do this.
I had no idea about this & my four year old would be so excited to send her cousins mail form Disney 🙂 thanks for all the info !
I did not know you could do this!
What a great idea! I will have to try this on my next visit!
I love sending postcards from vacation and this is such a darling idea!
Such a cute idea!
Last year I participated in a Christmas card exchange with a group of Disney loving friends. One of the gals sent her cards from the Magic Kingdom. Another sent hers from Disneyland. Those were so exciting to get!
I wish my kids were able to go when they were younger but they are teenagers and would still love a letter from Mickey!!
What a cute idea!!
What a great idea!!
What a great and cute idea!
We did this last year on vacation!
My kids would love goofy and stitch
Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
How fun is that?!?
Awesome!! Wish they had the stamps and did this at Dland!!
My kids would love this!
I had no idea you could do this! Thanks so much for the awesome idea!
Awesome!!
Neat idea!!!
Awww! Love this!!!
Super cute ideA!
Sweet! Gonna have to send this to friends who helped us get to Disney!
Great idea! My son would love this
I did not know this! Thanks for the tip!
I had no ideal this would make the best souvenirs!
great idea
Great Idea! We will definitely have to do this next time!
Wish I would have thought of this when we were there. But I will keep it in mind next time.
This is such a great idea, I never even thought to mail postcards from characters. This would be fun to mail your kids one to get when they get home from Disney saying Mickey had fun meeting them.
I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely do this when we go.
I love this idea, and I know the perfect person to send such a postcard to. Now I just have to go!
Neat idea.
How fun, what a great idea!
Snow White is one of my favorites!
This is AMAZING!!! I am so doing this when I go!!!
This is such a cute idea! Who wouldn’t want to get mail from Mickey?
Wish I had known about this this when my son was younger!
Cute idea! My kids would love a postcard from Anna and Elsa!
We’re going to try this for a few friends back home on our next trip to see Mickey 🙂
I didnt know you could do this!
cant wait till i can finally afford to take my kids to disney. just for them to be able to cherish all these memories. and get autographs from the characters. would be so cool!!
This is adorable!!
Good advice
What a cool idea! I love how it seems Disney is full of these hidden treats and things you can do!
Thank u
This is so cool! I have never heard of this before. Must try it.
I never knew this…thanks for sharing!
Love this idea!
Such a cute and fun idea!
That’s a great idea, didn’t know that!
There are so many cool things to do!
Love it, thanks!
One of these trips I have to remember to do this!
Oh, my daughters are different ages, but one would love one from Elsa and the other probably Rapunzel or Ariel – but the oldest is into Star Wars so probably one of those characters. There is a way to write to Disney and ask for an autograph and they will mail you them, too – without going to the park!
What an amazing idea! I am glad you shared this! I couldn’t have imagined what I would do with others stuff while walking around all day! It would be so fun to get some mail from main Street!! <3
Now I know!
So cool, I never thought about sending mail from the park!!!
Cool! I had no idea that this was possible!
That is a cool idea. My son is a little to old for that now but I am going to share this with my sister for her children.
What a sweet idea!
what a NEAT idea to do for family and friends-and send one to your child so when you get home from your trip he/she has 1 waiting
I’d love to get mail from Gaston!
What a thrill that would be for my grandchildren. I would pick Aerial. Thanks so much!
What a wonderful idea! My husband’s grandmother loves Mickey and she is not able to go with us to Disney but she would be thrilled to get a postcard from him!
I can’t wait to do this for whenever I finally get to take my 6 year old to Disney World! I’m going to mail one home to her and not tell her so when we get home she will have a postcard from Mickey! I’m so excited about doing this!!! Thanks for the ideal.
That is an awesome idea. That we will definately be soing.
What a cute idea! Might even be fun to mail it to your kids as a “Thank you for visiting me” from Mickey when they get home!
hoping I can somehow pull this off when I finally make it to disney
I love this ! Kids love this !
Carrie, thank you for sharing this, what a beautiful idea to focus on teaching our children to share their magical experience with friends and loved ones who can’t be there. I have been working to manifest a family trip to Disney World, and I have faith that it is about to come to fruition, I don’t know how we will afford it, but it WILL happen. I’m so happy you and your family have these beautiful experiences and memories together.
Very cool! I didn’t know you could do this!
I would love Mickey to sign for me, and maybe send it to myself. Is that even possible?
This is such great idea!! I had no idea you could do this!
i need all the ideas if i ever go to Disney 🙂 Thanks
I learn so much stuff from reading these articles.
That is so cool!
I never knew about this.. So cool!
Such a great idea! I can’t believe I’ve never thought about it in all the times I’ve gone!
You can buy Disney stamps at your local post office in advance.
Totally doing this on my next visit!
OMG!! I never knew about this! my kids are going to LOVE it, thank yOU!
What an Amazing way to share the magic of your Disney vacation with friends and family back home!
Great idea. My kids are a little too old now. Wish I knew about this sooner. Oh well. Guess I’ll have to wait until I have grandkids.
Such amazing fun-filled ideas, thank you!
What a great idea!
That is a super cool idea!
such a cute idea!
Great idea…
Good idea!!!
Oh i absolutely love this idea of grabbing a bunch of post card having it stamped by the official rubber stamp and going to Main St. And asking Mickey to sign it. This is so nice what a treat and a memory to share with family and friends.
What a great idea! I had no idea about the official rubber stamp! What a great way to share memories with friends & family – or even to send one to your house, so it will be waiting for your kiddos when you get home!
What a sweet idea to send friends and family a surprise!
Very cute idea to send postcards while in the Park! Would also be nice to send one back to our own house, for the kids to enjoy when they get mail from Mickey!
That is the cutest idea ever!! I love it and it’s not expensive and totally adorable!! I’m definitely doing that when we go!! Really great idea…thanks so much!!
