What Do You Collect?

I pick up anything vintage Disney that catches my eye at thrift stores. I have a pin collection, but I only buy what I really like, a movie poster/lobby card/press photo collection that gets added to from time to time, a vhs collection...

But I mostly have a penchant for WDW ephemera. I have a huge FP collection.
 
My daughter collects Villain pins, I have mainly Stitch and Pirates of the Caribbean pins, and my son seems to prefer pins from attractions as soon as he's conquered a ride such as the key from ToT. :D

Have a feeling my son will be collecting Funko POP Disney/Marvel figures soon as he keeps eying them in stores, currently he's saving for the Disney Infinity 3.0 though.

I also collect Disney necklaces- well truthfully I collect all necklaces, but the Disney versions are my favorites! This next time we're going I hope to get a Stitch plushie as I love him, and we're staying at the Poly! *swoon*
 
I collect pins too, i try and get one with the name of the resort written on for every park i've been too.

And then i just like to buy pins that I like the look of.

You sound like me! I always buy a pin with the resort name on it that we stay at. I also get a dated pin every year that we go to Disney as well. I collect the Dopey pins, and any others that I like that catch my eye!

I think thats the best way to do it. I've never been a serious pin collector. Just get the ones that you like the look of and then they become valuable because of sentiment.
 
I collect EPCOT anything, old Disney T-shirts and trading pins that appeal to my eye...

I guess you can call this a collection or sorts. I have over 10 Disney T-Shirts and Hoodies that I have gotten from my vacations.
 
I collect Cinderella merchandise, but I have started to branch out to pins. I bought several on my last trip and just bought my first on eBay. I'm thinking I will stick to collecting Cinderella pins and just random ones that I like. I'm sort of intrigued by Funco Pops, but I'm trying to restrain myself!
 
I have only been to walt Disney World once in my life so I really don't have a huge collection of anything. My first trip 2 years ago though I did pick up 5 pins.
 
I collect Tsum Tsum's and Disney pins recently.....looking for any Chip and Dale pins ;-)
 
I collect Disney Precious Moments figurines. I also have a couple of the Disney Tradition's pieces. I've also collected an Arribas glass art piece from each of the 5 Disney Resorts with the park name on the mirror.
 
Hi I saw this a while from a while back. Do you still collect these? I have an original 1955 story of Disneyland guide book. Not sure how far back your collection goes...

I collect the Magic Kingdom Guide maps that are handed out for free at the entrance to the park. You can see the collection here: Magic Kingdom Guide Maps

I have about 360 out of an estimated 480. (Between 1995 and 2002 they issued a new guide more or less each week...it adds up!).
(I also have a substantial collection of Epcot, AK, and MGM/HS guide maps as well, but I haven't cataloged those, and neither do I actively go after those)

Sooner or later Disney will stop handing the guide out as smartphones take over, but I think (hope!) that's still a ways away.

Since this thread has been rejuvenated, I thought I'd give an update here, since my previous post made me laugh. You wouldn't believe how many Pops I have now. I obviously failed at self-restraint. :rolleyes1:tongue:

Yes, I still collect them, although I've slowed down a lot these last few months. I've got a pile on my desk waiting to be entered and placed in the binders!

However I don't collect the Disneyland books. I stick mainly to the Magic Kingdom, with some Epcot, DHS and AK thrown in there as well.
