As an adult what chotkes, knicknacks, souvenirs do you buy when on vactaion at WDW?

[Todd&Copper]

On our last tirp, we got a dragon knicknack from Norway, a dried, painted gourd in Adventureland, and a Pirates baseball cap for DH.

I used to be the Queen of Collecting Crap, but as I get older I've gotten much more selective with what I will bring into the house.

I've never sampled the candy

However the wine? Yes. The wine I've sampled

Now let's be clear. Did you sample the wine or consume the bottle? There is a difference ya know. Of course, they do have hundreds of bottles, so technically drinking one bottle would be "sampling".

Ok...she sampled the wine!!

Yes, I did notice that even a little drinking + heat = not alot of fun.

At any rate, I just had to be a brat...its one of my best traits.

 

[PigletFairy]

I don't really buy much anymore, but I will probably buy a watch this trip. My Rolex's clasp won't stay shut so now I'm afraid to wear it. Time for a cheap watch until I can send it in to be fixed.

Also, if I a cute Stitch thing I will usually pick it up. I like shot glasses as well and there's a new 4 park set that looks very cool and I'll get that this trip.

oooh a watch would be a good idea! i wonder if they have a piglet one? or maybe stitch? or something pixar? oh my! how will i ever decide

 

[ChristusG]

I dont buy too many souvenirrs when we go to Disney. We go often so I see basically the same things each time I go.

I'm 28 and I love Stitch. So if I see something new to sit around my house with Stitch on it, I usually get that. This last time I was on a mission for a hoodie and I found one that I liked, but I dont usually purchase clothes at Disney. And I also buy a new pin or two each time I go to add to my collection. I was also on a mission for cups last time, so I found a Pirates cup and a Cars cup that I liked. But again, I dont usually buy cups at Disney.

 

[luckybug618]

and my dh was just wondering why Disney sells shot glasses...
I thought it was a great idea. I have a thing for square shot glasses, easier to take shots out of, anyways my friend brought my back one from Disneyland for walt's birthday. Now I'm on a mission to find one at DW. Maybe Arribas Bros can make (blow) me one!!

They're not shot glasses, they're toothpick holders...ask them and they'll tell you that anyway.

 

[Jenroc]

I always find way too many things I want to buy but I tend to stick with my Christmas ornament, calendar, a sweatshirt (because Canada is cold, eh?), scrapbooking things and items that will remind me of that particular trip.
If and when that is all completed then I splurge on silly things !!! LOL

 

[CinRell]

JEN!!

Go make a copy of it now and put it in your wallet... then you may have it

Based on a common sense approach, that should work. Unfortunately whenver I hit the World Showcase (espcially during the F&W Fest), I tend to start drinking around the world and my attention span regresses to that of an infant. ie. I become distracted by shiny or colorful moving objects, and have to hit the bathroom every 30 minutes.

Last trip was during F&W fest of '07, and I was al ready to get my Stein, but by the time I made it to Germany, I became mezmerized by the pickle ornaments and toy trains. Later in the week I figured I'd take care of things, but ended up in the Rose & Crown for longer than expected and forgot all about my stein again.

For the next trip, I'm writing a note to myself in permanent Sharpie on my forehead, "Ask me about my Stein" !

Okay... instead of having that written across your forehead and being in photos* that maybe someone wouldn't want in there... How about a sticky note at eye level when you go out the door of room AND make a b-line to Germany get the stein, have it shipped to room, and enjoy the beverages from there. Then you can look at the pickles and trains

*granted there is photoshop to fix things like that

You're funny

You're funny

What's funny is that I WOULD write on my forehead and hit the parks. If I'm on vacation having a good time, I usually have no shame. Typically the last words out of my friends and families collective mouth is "I can't believe you just did/said that!" My philosophy is that it takes a little insanity to keep sane in today's world.

The on-site room shipping will eventually be my saving grace. Next time I'm down (which may be F&W '09), will be a B-line to Germany along with shipping to my resort.
