The Photopass CD is my new favorite souvenir. It was nice to actually be in some of the trip photos this time, as I am usually the photographer.
I'm a cheapskate, and doesn't buy souvenirs unless it's really, really worth it. However, one thing I could never pass is on-ride photos. The expressions are always priceless, and you could never get the same thing anywhere or anytime else :laughing: Sometimes I also consider buying those expensive, ultra-gorgeous, handmade ceramics figure.

That is hands down my favorite souvenier! Second to that would have to be my pins/lanyards. The WDW Mr Potato Head is so fun and unique! :goodvibes I bought the big plastic potato (about $47.00) and stuffed it full of both "Mr." and "Mrs." parts (got the potato itself at Walmart). About once a week I change him/her and it is just a fun little souvenier that we display! :thumbsup2

Although I technically bought them for my daughter, my favorite WDW purchase was also the three, yes count them, THREE, boxes of Mr. Potato head parts. We play with them all the time and they are truly something you can't get anywhere else.

They used to be $8. and DVC got a 10% discount. I buy a bunch for gifts and keep one for us. Then they went to 10 and now they are $12 with no discount (so I started looking for other ornaments).
This May I started a Disney Charm bracelet with the enamel charms for fun. Got charms that signified our family, then the parks, then every Little Mermaid I could find. When I came home I got a clip on watch at Michael's.
I wore the bracelet back in Sept. and it started a conversation about DVC with the couple next to me!
My biggest treasure is from the Arribas Bros. For our 20th Wedding Annivesary my Hubby bought a Swarovski Toucan Brooch. It was limited and is absolutely striking - I have never seen them again and it is a conversation starter on any piece of clothing.

I LOVE the crystal Cinderella slipper that my DH got me from Arribas brothers for our anniversary. It is engraved with our wedding date. Awww.....
Other favs are:
Christmas ornaments
refillable mugs (I use them everyday)
"Build Your Own My Little Pony" (my girls love this)
pressed pennies (my son loves them)
a ceramic Mickey pumpkin (:love: )
Mickey & Minnie salt and pepper shakers (3 different sets now)
Mickey Head cookie cutter (for rice crispy treats; just a small way to re-create some Disney memories!)
ceramic Disney beads (used to make jewelry for next trip)
Pal Mickey
the plastic plates from kid's meals (our kids use them all the time)
& of course, Mickey Ear Hats (our DD2 wears them almost daily; she's in the dress-up phase; DS5 wears the pirate: ears frequently)

I always have to have something with the year on it, usually a magnet.

It's a tie between trading pins and magnets.

This past trip it was trading pins that were special to us. One for the resort we stayed in, a birthday pin since I celebrated my birthday, and a Mickey STL Cardinals pins cause that's my favorite team, and a pin with 2007 on it.
The best souvenir is unique with everyone, make it unique to your trip. Have a great time!
We always get something with the year on it, like a picture frame, magnet, or Christmas ornament. We love picking out a Christmas ornament each visit too. I have to get at least a couple of pins. My husband gets something with Grumpy on it. He has a small wardrobe of clothes with Grumpy on each item. The kids love to pick out a plush animal at AK. We also love our resort mugs!:teeth:

Mr Potato Head Parts & Christmas Ornaments

Since the beginning of our marriage, I have collected magnets for every trip we have ever taken. I even collect for the little day trips. My fridge is getting very full after 12 years. I will often stop & look at them & remember the great day we had at the zoo or museum so many years ago. So if we duplicate a place (like Disney) I often buy a magnet with the year.

One of our favorite family souvenirs are the Mickey shaped pancake ring, egg ring, and Mickey hand spatula. My DH making pancakes in the morning is a family ritual, so this always brings a bit of the magic back for us.

Of all the things we have bought over the years I enjoy the Photopass pictures with the whole family in the picture. They also seem to use the right lenses (I only carry a 50mm normal lens) at the right time and are really able to make the backround of the pictures look just right. I also love the extra effects you can add. My favorite is a picture I have of my girls with his autograph across the picture. These are the best memories to me.
