Calling all Disney dorks "What's a must have item when departing WDW?"

[ericalynn1979]

Always Christmas ornaments, I generally get one for each kid and one for the family tree.

My DH always gets a new baseball hat, usually a golf hat with swinging Mickey on it.

My DH also, exactly--and this yr at POLY/Boutiki he got an awesome money clip and some more Oakley sunglasses, same exact stuff every year for him.

Your children are beautiful!!

I forgot I also bought a picture of Walt drawing Mickey (blk & white) with Mickey looking under his arm (color) at him drawing it! One of my favorites yet! Oh and Mickey head chips & dip dish and a big brightly colored orange bowl with mickey on it.

Ornament, for sure, and either a jacket or blanket (my favorite is a soft blanket with the castle on it...we use it every day!)

 

[WantToGoNow]

Albums to put my pictures of the trip in.

I always get a photo album for each year. I really like the ornament idea. I think I may need to start that new tradition.

 

[sallysue66]

Some of our "souvie traditions" have changed over the years. Used to get a photo album, but now I have our pics made into photo books from shutterfly or snapfish. Have been getting an ornament the last few years, will continue that. Last year I got Mickey salt & pepper grinders and I plan to make a kitchen thing a new tradition. And I always bring home the pens from the hotel room and all the extra napkins we collect. And the paper plates from our DVC villa. We save those for special occasions, like it better than the "good china"!!!

Also, this year I hope to get a wind chime from AK. Saw them last year and loved their sound. I didn't get them because I thought they were expensive, but after shopping around I have found that they are actually reasonable. Can get cheaper but they don't sound nearly as pretty.

I forgot, I bought a wooden wind chime from AK next to Kali River Rapids (I think) last visit, thx for reminding me. I love it, I have it on patio and enjoy it very much. This last trip I literally went CRAZY, since we drove, I bought everything I've always wanted- Oh and the Pièce de résistance was my 40th Anniversary Dooney & Bourke large purse, how could I forget to mention that!!!!Also some zebra salad forks at AK.

We have the one with Mickey sitting on a plain 4-legged stool looking in the mirror yet drawing Walt.

Where & when did you get yours? It sounds like a great complement to ours. We purchased ours about 5 years ago in the Disney Art store at DTD.

Thanks,
Dan

How exciting, your FIRST Disney vacay! Tell us about it, did you post a trip report?

Memories. Just really good memories.

Next years reservation!

 

[disneygal58]

Christmas ornament, kitchen item and Mickey rice krispie treat for the "ride" home!

 

[Havana]

Disney treats/snacks. We stock up on items from the confectionery to bring home. It makes the transition to the real world a little easier.

Definitely!
