What I am specifically looking for is similiar to this:

I've been to Dollar Tree, Michaels Crafts, Hobby Lobby, and a party goods store.
I want to use it as an Autograph Pen when I go to Disney World in May.
I know it's kind of late to reply this since May has already passed, but thanks to the bump, I can answer for posterity's sake! The link with what you were looking for didn't work, but I know the Disney Theme Parks sell dozens of retractable pens, but they're ridiculously overpriced. I got a pen with a "dancing" Pooh on the top for my friend and it was like $5! The airport Disney stores and all the super-touristy souvenir shops sell lots of pens that match the description you're describing though they're mostly: Fab 5(or 6), Princesses, Disney Channel, Cars, and Pooh. Also, any Florida pharmacy store (Walgreens) has this kind of stuff, too. I'm sure you may be able to find it in your neighborhood Walgreens as well. Also, you can try craft stores and even Target and Wal-Mart have Disney character pens.
Also, the Epcot stamp book question on the second post was never fully answered:

I've read somewhere on the web that at the Epcot, you can get a free booklet for collecting stamps from a shop, which you take around and get it ink-stamped at a station in each of the "countries". What does the booklet and the entire collection of stamps look like?
As Flanger-Hanger said, they're not free and cost around $10-15. I got one in 2003 and it was constructed to look like a real passport with the World Showcase pavilion flags in Mickey heads and "Epcot Passport" written on the front. The passport pages had blank pages with section for each country of the World Showcase in order starting at Mexico. There's also information about "validating your passport" at a designated location (usually the KidCot Fun Stops or some gift shop registers had the stamps as well). In the blank pages you filled them with the given stamps for that country. Some were photos of scenes of the pavillion, art from the pavilion, and even concept art. Also, there was a stamp of each country's flag within a Mickey head.
It was great because since Disney employs actual citizens of the showcase's country, you got to meet and talk to them. They stamped my book with a stamp with the country name and Mickey with traditional headgear of the country (e.g. Mickey in a Fez at Morocco). Some were more special than others. In China, she stamped by Chinese Zodiac animal and wrote my name in Chinese. Others wrote in their native language and alphabet. They all said Welcome to ____ and signed their name. Some put a little note like "Welcome to the home of Pinocchio" (in Italian), "UK is Home of Winnie the Pooh" from Lewis in UK, and Lindsay in Canada wrote "Welcome to Canada, Home of Hockey." Haha. I guess she didn't know about Kenai and co. from Brother Bear.
Overall, I think the passport is best for kids to enrich their World Showcase experience and provide modes of interaction with actual citizens of the country so they can see that it's a small world after all.

Regarding this thread, I agree that as great as an idea as this thread sounds, it's rather difficult to have your question answered if not enough people are paying attention since the subject line is only "General" questions. I started a thread like this around my first year on UD and it disappeared quickly. You have to rely on posters to regularly check the thread to see if they can answer any questions. Maybe this time around it will work as long as people keep answering questions?
Keep the questions coming!
If I had known movies were actually aired on there I might care more for it...well not really but I you never know
