Speaking of autograph books, we usually get this kind: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Minni...-/191030771562
They can be left open to the next page for autographs, so no flipping once you're in line & fit perfectly inside a sandwich sized ziploc. That way, if you get caught in a rain shower, the book isn't ruined. Also, bring largish gripped pens for the characters to use. We usually bring something like the Pilot G2s in black. The gel pens are smoother for the characters to write with & the barrel is fairly easy for them to hold through their gloves. The only problem is it takes a minute for the ink to dry.
Oh, and don't forget a power strip for your electronics chargers. There are only so many outlets in your hotel room.
