Inspired by a conversation on another thread where people are talking about the plastic $250 Key to the Kingdom (this photo is from wdwnt.com), etc.

Do you collect Disney merch or souvenirs? If so, do you have any regrets about what may have been an impulse buy at the parks? Any unusual or favorite Disneyana in your house right now? Any Disney collectibles that you can no longer collect because they stopped making them?
I don't normally buy popcorn buckets, but on our last trip my daughter and I bought matching Poohs. We thought it would be fun for watching Disney movies. These things are so big they don't fit in my kitchen cabinets so they're upstairs in my bedroom closet, which means we've used them one time and I never remember to get them out when we watch a Disney movie.
As a family of four, we probably have collected about 60 Disney pins. We rarely wear them at the parks anymore because we don't wear lanyards as much since they've done away with paper fastpasses and paper tickets. I keep thinking I'm going to make a little Disney shadowbox with a few of them, but that hasn't happened yet.
When my daughters were younger, they used to have the old-fashioned charm bracelets at Disneyland. My daughters each had one and we collected the charms for them, but they haven't had those the last few times we've been there. Switched to Pandora charms and so we have several of those, but don't wear them much anymore as Pandora doesn't seem as popular as it once was. I think each of my daughters also has a Disney stuffed animal from Build A Bear, also gone now.
I also have a little collection of light-up drink clips and ice cubes. My favorite souvenir is just a little plastic Tinkerbell light-up drink clip that my daughter got on our first trip when she was 4. She's 25 now but this little clip still has a place of honor clipped to a container on my desk. Oh, and the two or three paper fastpasses that didn't get used but made it home with us are also favorite souvenirs!
