Fairy Godmailer Question - What Does a Fairy Godmailer Do? About This Page:

[chelle89]

Can someone tell me what a Fairy Godmailer needs to do?

[WDWfan]

The simple answer is you mail postcards from the parks to people who have asked for them to be sent. Most people post an offer to be a Fairy Godmailer here. Be sure to have people PM you with their information. We don't want personal info posted on the boards. It's a good idea to set a limit on how many you're willing to do. I've seen anywhere from 3-10. You ask for the name and address of who it is going to and any specific message they want on the card. Some people ask if there are specific characters/scenes they want on the cards, but be careful there. The postcard choices at WDW are pretty limited. You can find princesses (not always individual ones, but groups) and the basic, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto (again in a group). I always ask for a second choice and let the person requesting know I'll do my best! Some people stand in line and actually have the character sign them, but others write the message and sign it themselves.

I enjoy doing it. It's fun and a way to spread the magic!

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure there is a worksheet yet, but I think it's a good idea. If you have an Annual PassPorter Club membership you can commission one. http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...worksheet.html

ok, so you mail the cards from the resort so that it is postmarked from there? i never have mailed anything from there, would be willing to do this fairy godmailer thing, most definitely! i go so often and would love to be a part of someone's magical experience!

yes. The idea is to make it seem as if whatever character is sending it, that is came from them and since Mickey Mouse lives at Disney, you'd want it to be postmarked from the resort. I think that just adds to the magic anyway.

Could not get in to your post so answering here. Even I, received a postcard from a Fairy Godmailer. I would like to think her but I don't know who she is. THANK YOU, FAIRY GODMAILER! It was so much fun receiving the card.

My Granddaughter received one too and it was unbelievable to watch her reaction. Kids just are thrilled when a card comes form Disneyworld, saying they know the child is coming soon and can hardly wait for them to arrive.

So I have already posted saying I would like to do a five. Mine came with just my first name and address and a message.

Where do you find people who are willing to be fairy godmailers? Is there a thread that I am missing?

Sometimes folks will post that they are willing to be a Fairy Godmailer . . . but I have found it to be more effective for ME to post asking if anyone would be willing to be a Fairy Godmailer for me.

Fairy Godmailer question?? How far in advance would your FG send them? I would love for someone to do this for me..and I would be happy to be a FG myself when I go in December..this is a great idea!

[agnes1956]

I would enjoy being part of someone's magical experience by being a Fairy Godmailer for them. To date I have only three names and will do more. My days are pretty busy now so I would like to receive the names of the children or adults now while I can still focus on this. Over the past year I have lost weight and need to replace all my wardrobe, buying clothes that I can wear both in Disney and in the NE for our winters. That is a challenge that keeps me busy.

We are leaving on our trip in less then a month, and my son would be really excited to get a letter. If anyone is willing to do it, please write me back. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
