I know you can download apps to send postcards using photos you have taken but to me there is no substitute for sending a postcard whilst you are away and getting a phone call from the recipient two weeks back telling you their post card has arrived

I'm exactly the same - I wouldn't use one of those apps for that reason - those phone calls can be quite amusing! Also I like sending one to work and seeing it arrive 2 weeks later!

The trouble with sending one to work is when it finally arrives it may prompt the "why don't we go back" conversation

Slightly off topic but we buy 14 postcards from Walmart and each evening my dd writes on the back of one what we did that day . At the end you have a lovely memory of the holiday as told by your child

BB. We haven't sent any cards since the late 90's. But back then they used to take 3 weeks to arrive!

Worth checking their delivery times nowadays as we used to be home before the cards.

All Disney onsite shops at the hotels sell them, plus I expect you can get them at Walmart. I love sending postcards to people as I think it means more to have a handwritten card but that’s just me :-))
