Best souvenier you've ever gotten at Disney?

[ashley3130]

i was just wondering what's the best/most memorable thing everyone has brought back home with them after their disney trips. Obviously pictures are the most priceless items but what else?

i'm just looking for ideas on how not spend my money on stuffed animals and things like that that can already be purchased at the Disney Store near me. and i think this would be fun.

thanks guys

mickey mouse umbrella..

Last year I brought a mat (the kind that goes around a 4x6 pic) and got signatures on it.

This year, I went to a local pottery painting place and got a mug, (which is being fired in their oven) and some special ceramic pens for autographs. When we get home you bake it in the oven to seal it.

I have a pair of Mickey Mouse earrings that I bought at YC for my birthday present to myself in 2005. Last year at YC I bought a sterling silver flip flop bracelet with tiny Mickey heads on it. Those are my two favorite souvenirs because I can wear them every day and have a little piece of the magic with me.

Christmas Stocking for DS- We bought a stocking for DS on our last childless WDW vacation. I was 7 months pregnant at the time. We bought it in the Canadian Pavillon of Epcot. Canada is DH and my favorite country in the world showcase. It is something the will be special to all of us each year we hang it. It is so cute...Canadian plaid with Mickey skiing on it.

Mickey Watch- my favorite souvenir is a Silver Mickey Mouse watch DH bought me while we were dating.

we bought a bucket of poporn on main street (actually more like a big plastic mug) we now use to collect loose change for our up-coming trip
I love it because of the picture on it, and it sits right in the kitchen where I see it all the time

I second (third?) the earrings--last time I bought myself a pair that I just love! They are big dangles with mickey heads!

My husband picked up for me a mug at the POC shop--at first I thought, do I really need another mug? Guess which one I have drank almost every cup of coffee out of since our trip? LOL

We use the popcorn buckets whenever we have popcorn at home. We have one from Epcot, and one from MK--Hope to add another one this Sept!

And the kids love t-shirts. I am not a big t-shirt wearer myself, but did wear out a Mickey sweatshirt we bought on a previous trip. And a pair of Minnie pjs have aided my Disney dreams!

And one more--we bought a print at the World of Disney store in DTD that I had framed at home that hangs in our Mickey bathroom.

I love souvenirs that get used!

I was a kid in the 70's when I got a Darth Vader mask. The kind that encompasses your entire head like a globe. I remember being amazed that it looked EXACTLY like the one in the films. Who knew that years later, there'd be a Star Tours attraction and Star Wars Weekends?

Retro artwork of the rides at Disneyland. I know if isn't WDW but that was my favorite.

I will probably get something similar when in WDW this fall.

DW - Mickey collander (kitchen item)
DH- tshirts
DS - DVD or CD
DD - ankle braclets and earrings

(we have teens and have been to WDW 4 times)

Our past favorite most useful item was beach towels - but we have plenty

im making mental notes as i read each response. they're all such good ideas. i better bring a bigger suticase at this rate. haha.

 

[justplaingoofy]

I'm sure they sell these all over Disney, but in Animation at MGM and inside the castle at MK they sell these cute pics already matted....

You can get your favorite character and have them sign the mat.

My favorite so far is a Disneys Greatest Hits CD I bought on our first trip. I listen to it in my car and downloaded it onto my ipod. It always puts me in the disney spirit.

Pictures, Videos, T-shirts, and the metal candy tin I keep on my desk at school. We are going back in June, do the souveniers now have the million dreams motifs?

I bought a beautiful Tink broche (silver) in 2004... then I went to Disneyland in 05 and bought a pair of cute earings (Mickey heads) and this year I found the matching Mickey necklace (Mickey head flotting on the chain)... I buy a piece of jewelry every time. Can't wait to add to my collection ha!

The kids love to buy a game exclusive to Disney... like Magic Kingdom game, or clue Disney etc..
