Best souvenier you've ever gotten at Disney?

[maleficent esq.]

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 have such a bucket right now in my cupboard, I'm going to get it out and put it to a great use. Thanks so much for the idea

My favorites are the beach towels and the red and white cookbook. I use them all the time!

My favorite is clothes. I bought a nice long sleeved button front shirt with the WDW logo over the pocket on our last trip in 2003. I still wear that shirt (at least in the cooler months). T-shirts are okay, but I like something I can wear to work regularly.

Let's see....

I get a Christmas ornament each time we are there, so every time we put up our tree, I can think of Disney!

I have a frame that I bought for our honeymoon that is still on my dresser.

My boys have gotten some interesting things... this past trip (just 8 days ago), they made their own Light Sabers in DTD and I know they'll be treasured souveniers for a long time!

Starting on our honeymoon I bought DW a sterling silver charm bracelet and have added to it each trip.

Last year when we went down for our anniversary I bought her this Mickey self-portrait sculpture:

My own favourite was this character drawing of Jack Skellingon we bought at MGM. When we saw it we noticed that the artist who drew it was in another shop across the street working on another one so after we bought it we brought it over and asked him to personalize it for us. We didn't expect him to do the fancy NMBC style lettering but he spent quite a bit of time on it and the end result really made it special.

I think our mantle clock ranks right up there as one of my favorites.

Obviously pictures, but I bought a Disney Charm bracelet and every time I hit a disney park, I add a charm to it to show how many times i've been.

the best souveniers are always going to be the pictures and memories, but the best thing of all is every night at the dinner table my girls talk about disney what they loved on our trip and what we are going to do next trip and my husband (who took me 4 years to talk in to going to disney in the first place!) chimes right in with his favorites!!!


oh, and the picture of the family with Jack Sparrow in the potc ride line. while sitting on the boat wating to start the ride,my dd who was 11 at the time, said to me, " I met Jack Sparrow, ok, we can go home now!"

I guess I would have to say a cream colored super soft fleece pull over with a hood I bought at Disneyland in 2000 for $60.00. It has DISNEYLAND embroidered across the front with the characters peeking out from behind the letters. It is the warmest softest fleece I have ever seen and it is the only thing I wear when I walk in the mornings and it is 22 degrees and It keeps me warm! I have worn it for 7 years now, and it is like new and beautiful and everytime I wear it I get compliments (although the people here in NC always over look the LAND part and say I have been to disneyWORLD!) You know, a lot of people don't even know there are two places! Can you beleive it?!?!?
I love my jacket, and everytime I wear it I am back at Disneyland in the magic!

My fave thing for the kids? I bought them a stitch hat last year at WDW. It is fleece and has hair and big stitch ears and it is so cute. Everywhere we go people point and stare and laugh and say how cute! A lot of people think it is eyeore because of the ears. It is great!

I bought a pair of small Mickey head gold post earrings in 1998. I paid $110 for them and it almost killed me, but I wear them at least 320 days a year and they make me happy every time I see them in my ears! I don't do math well, but if I punched the numbers right, that's 26 cents a day right now, and going down more with every day I wear them!

I have a ton of favorites. All my kitchen stuff: a mickey pasta bowl (we use for everything from pasta to salad to popcorn), salt/pepper shakers, coffee mug, mickey glass, bottle opener with mickey head, etc. I use these items almost everyday, and think of disney each time. My kids favorites turned out to be the drinking glasses they each picked out. Each child has their own and they drink out of them every day. My daughter who is 5 loves her princess hairbrush (daily used) and mickey barrettes. I think my favorite item though is the mickey camera bag I bought. I take a ton of pictures all year long and smile each time I take out the camera remembering the disney trip I bought that bag on. I love the jewelry ideas, esp. the charm bracelet one. I think I'll have to start that on our next trip! I also love the autograph ideas. What a fun thread!

From our 1999 trip, I bought a pair of earrings with CZ Mickey heads hanging from small hoops. Wear them ALL the time...good investment there.

We bought All Star mugs each trip and DD drinks out of them daily. They're all she drinks from.

Bought a 5 x 7" wooden frame from MK on my last trip. It's not dated, so we could change the photo every trip if we want.

I have a little "bronze" Eiffel Tower from my first trip to Epcot. I "did" have a blown glass castle, till I dropped it on a tile floor when dusting....tried to replace it on the next trip, but never found one like it.

I love the Mugs I get from the resort.

I bought a Mickey Mouse watch.

My daughter loves the pins and my wife bought a figurine with her favoriate Tinkerbell. I belive it is a Ilardo.

 

[diznee25]

My husband's most treasured souvineer is a Fossil watch he purchased at Downtown Disney. There's a Mickey Head at the 12 o'clock position, plus around the wrist are the letter M's. (The watch is all silver, very sleek. If you're not into Mickey Mouse, you'd look over those few details I just listed.)


I got some peals from oysters in the Japan Pavillion at Epcot, and my husband set one pearl in a ring, and the other in a necklace.

Photopass CD from our mother/daughter trip. Also, we both bought charm bracelets, and while we each picked different charms, we often wear them at the same time and they bring back not only memories, but tons of talk about where we bought them and how much fun we had picking out the charms.

 

[Bondfan531]

Mine would be this cool stainless steel writing pen from the scrapbook store in DTD (can't remember the name right now ). It's stainless with red, white and blue Mickey heads cut out of the barrel. I collect all sorts of odd and unusual ink pens from all over the place.

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

From my last trip I got a plush sorcerer's apprentice mickey for my desk at work, a sorcerer's apprentice mickey coffee mug, an official WDW 2-CD set, a couple of magnets, and an '07 blue golf shirt. DW got 2 mickey mouse salad plates, a mickey mouse watch, and a mickey mouse shirt.

 

[Deesknee]

Favorite is DD 3, however not purchased! lol

I love the writing pens we collect from the hotels we stay at. Also christmas ornaments.

 

[Grumpy987]

Pictures always! My daughter and I brought home the trading pins. We had so much fun picking out and trading to get new ones and now we can look at them and remember things we did at WDW! Now we are going on the Disney Cruise and will hopefully get some new ones there! This is a fun thread!

 

[Disney"5"]

I buy a Disney World photo album each time with the year on the front. Then I have a special place to keep all of our photos from the trip. When we get ready for another trip, we pull out the albums, and start remembering our last trip.
