Do you collect Disney merch? What's in your house right now? Regrets?

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!

I have two many pins that I'll have to do something about eventually.

I'm looking at the credenza that spans the alcove in our living room and holds our TV. There's an R2 unit at one end that I made at Droid Depot, and a Grogu doll that a friend gave me at the other end. I like seeing them there. I also have a yeti from Expedition Everest sitting on a bookcase in another room.

Loungeflys, ears, and spirit jerseys. No regrets, though my bank account may say otherwise.

I may or may not have more Spirit Jerseys than an adult with a family should have.

Aside from clothing, we used to get a new set of ears or ear hat for every trip pre-pandemic. Nowadays it's usually just an ornament for our Christmas tree and the kiddo gets to pick up a toy or what not to bring back.

We pick out a Christmas ornament for which ever resort we stay at that trip and write the year on the bottom or back.

Christmas stuff, the Craftsman souvenir mug from Craftsman Bar at GCH, lots of shot glasses, personalized glass coffee mug, glass Moana Heart of Tafiti and probably more from the Crystal shop, lots of souvenir glasses, pins, hats, purses, jewelry, eggnog sets, MBs etc from Club 33, misc sweatshirts and t-shirts, 2 silver/diamond castle necklaces, a stainless Mickey-head silverware set, a few Alice items (teapot & cup)--that's all I can think of at the moment but I know there's more

I get a new Christmas tree ornament anytime we travel. A rolling pin, wine and pint glasses, mini AP cutting board (for the bar), a haunted mansion cheese board, a picture of BWI in our half bathroom, pins, and more Dooney bags than DH would like.

I collect Loungefly's, mugs and tumblers, and shirts and sweatshirts. Basically things I use almost everyday.
