Best souvenirs you ever purchased?

[ConnecticutNonna]

I don't want to get this thread off track, but the Animation Academy was my family's favorite place to go during every WDW trip (except my son, he hates drawing). My oldest daughter was devastated when they announced that the Academy was closing. The fact that it was making room for Star Wars stuff made it a little better, but not much.

We are returning to WDW in November and are staying at the AofA. So, assuming that they are still offering drawing classes at the hotel, do you have any idea where and when those sessions are?

In reference to the thread's main topic, the drawings we've collected over the years from the Animation Academy are definitely our favorite souvenirs.

We didn't stay at AoA, but we were there to check it out. (Great food court and gift shop!)
Anyway the signs for it were as soon as you walked into the main building (food court and gift shop area) with signs pointing to the room.it was held in. Here's the link...

Awesome, my daughter is thrilled. Thank you.

Now back to everyone's best souvenir....

OMG do they still make these?!?

Yes they do. I had one of my son done during our trip last August and it's one of my favorite keepsakes

I let my kids do the pick a pearl and I have them all saved and plan to have necklace or something made from it. I'm waiting on our October trip to decide but I want something that I can continue to add to with future trips.

I'm trying to decide if I want to do a pick a pearl or not! It's actually my tradition for Hawaii trips already so it feels a little weird to do at Disney. On the other hand, I always love doing it. Love the idea of having the kids save up to pick a setting!
