I am going in 23 days....and I can't wait to get my Mickey Mouse pen. Mine broke a few months ago. There is nothing like taking my MM pen out of my purse and writing something with it. The Mickey Mouse pen just makes me smile!

I also collect Christmas ornaments for my tree on every vacation.

Does anybody know the answer to where silver charms can be found, and how much?? I would love to start up a charm bracelt!

There are many stores at WDW that carry the sterling silver charms. I think the best selections were at World of Disney at DTD, the Emporium at MK, MouseGears at Epcot and the gift shop at WL. They are priced from about $12 to $22 for the most part. BTW I also found some at great savings at the 2 Disney Belz outlet stores and at the other Disney outlet closest to WDW (Premium Outlets, I think.) DD got 3 or 4 on our trip and everytime we went in a gift shop she wanted to look at the jewelry first.

I can't live without buying T-shirts at Disney! A co-worker asked me once why I felt the need to go back to Disney after I had already been...my answer? I need a new wardrobe!!

I also bought a windbreaker and hoodie and I honestly wear them almost everyday in the winter months!

Keebles...

I live for John Taylor...Love the pic of Duran Duran in your siggy...My DH took me to see them in Montreal this April and they rocked...12 hour drive was worth it..Had a mini vacation out of it.


I love my Disney ruler and pens. I use them everyday at work. I also love my magnets and photo albums. They are so nice.

My fav DISNEY souvenir...My Mickey and Minnie cake topper I used at my wedding...It is too cute.

Of all the things I bought on my last trip in 1998, I still use a bunch of adorable little porcelain dishes I bought in Japan at Epcot. I have a cute little fish shaped bowl I keep hair elastics in, and another pretty little square dish with flowers painted on it that I use to hold jewelry in the bathroom. I LOVE these dishes and would be devistated if they broke!

I gave others out as gifts because they were so inexpensive yet nice. I can't wait to go back and buy more!!

May have been posted previously but I do socks! Mickey dress socks and dress shirts. Wear 'em to work all the time...yup, got some on now. And, as a bonus, when they wear out I have to go back to get some more!

I'm still wearing my Mickey wristwatch from our '98 trip.

Beach Towels. I try to get a new one each time we go on vacation anywhere.

Oh, yeah, that's another one. It's inexpensive and it lasts for years and years without going out of style!

What about the monorail frig magnet? It has a button you press and says "please stand clear of the doors..." in English and Spanish. We have two of them.

Steve,

Where did you buy the Monorail magnets? I love talking fridge magnets! I would love to score one on our next trip if I can find one.

Thanks,
Lori

For me, the best would have to be a zip-up hoodie, as I wear them everyday. It is a security type of thing, and the only time I don't have one on is at work, and at home. If I am out and about, guaranteed I have one on. Even during summer. Right now I have over 30 of the ones that zip up. Way more if you count the pull over ones!

The hoodie I bought last year was zip up...I had a heck of a time finding one that didn't have a huge logo on the back...I just wanted simple. Mine has a little American flag Mickey head on the front and that's it. It's heather gray (my favorite shirt color) and I just love it!!

Refillable resort mugs...coffee every morning in them.
Also, sleep T-shirts...all I ever sleep in is my Disney T's.

I bought slippers that look like Mickey's shoes I wear them as much as possible it makes me think of Disney. I also got my pic with mieky and minnie in them it was great. They both pointed at them and gave me a thumbs up!

 

[CanadianPaco]

A 2004 Fridge magnet that is also a clip - for my girls art work/notes! I get to remember the year, the art and the fun!

Back in 5weeks!! We can't wait!

A mickey mouse purse

I have bee using it every trip since I bought it

 

[CTCouple]

Can't beat the refillable mugs at the resorts. Usefull (and $$ saving) there and actually a nice mug to use back at home.
Why not put the AM coffee in it back in the real world.

I like buying jewelry in one of the Epcot shops. Not Disney stuff, but a piece I can wear with anything.
