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

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.

 

[PiratesOfTheSea]

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

 

[LoveDaisy]

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.

 

[tlovesdis]

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

 

[WDWEPCOT]

My only regret was not getting this humongous Winnie the Pooh cuckoo clock because it was outrageously priced and I couldn’t afford it but I still wish I could’ve because it was absolutely gorgeous I seen it a few years ago on eBay They had made two of them one of them had made it to eBay I still couldn’t afford it it was beautiful otherwise I regret nothing I don’t regret any of my pins that I have on display probably close to 100 any of my shadow boxes artwork figurines purses clothing I could go on and on jewelry my whole house from head to town every room is DISNEY and I’m proud of it I’m made fun of because of this and I’m like well some people are into sports teams I’m meant to DISNEY no regrets

 

[cruisehopeful]

I collected Dooneys for a while when they first came out and they seemed so special back then. I did buy the Haunted Mansion one this year because I happened to see it on Shop Disney and I was still bitter about it selling out so fast last year in the park.

I try to collect things that I will use like coffee mugs and Pandora charms. I bought a cool Tiki mug once and still haven't used it. So, now whenever I want to buy one, I remember that my other one is taking space in my cupboard and not being used. That stops me from buying another.

 

[kikismom]

I miss the charm bracelets/necklaces. My daughter had just started collecting charms the year before they stopped selling them.

We buy a regular popcorn bucket each time we go, if we don't already have it. When my daughter and her friends have sleepovers it's what they have popcorn in.

Other than that I have a Goofy collection that spans from 1988 to 2000 that sits in a box because I don't know what to do with it and also don't have room if I did wan't to display it.

 

[crystal1313]

We collected art until we had too many! lol. And it’s not one of a kind pieces or anything. Just the affordable pieces from disneyana.

I also have my China cabinet full of special Disney items. My moms pennant from her first trip in 1958, my pennant from my trips as a kid, Lenox figurines (my most prized is sleeping beauty’s castle from the 50th anniversary that I bought on July 16, 2005), and my Alice and wonderland child teacup set from when I was a kid in the 1980s.

 

[Littlebitofsunshine]

I regret nothing! Kidding!

Mugs! So many mugs!! I don’t plan on stopping either!

 

[Tinkaboo]

No regrets..but then I didn't spend $250 on one of those keys...LOL.

HOWEVER....every time a box arrives, my husband says, "let me guess...another purse...". I LOVE my Loungefly...

I have a few special mugs, the Starbucks pink/aqua Disneyland one, the Starbucks Avenger travel mug, MSEP mug and one from Candy Cane.

Currently on my bed are my plushies: Steamboat Willie, Sorceror Mickey, birthday Mickey, NYC Mickey, Scrooge McDuck, Grogu, Anxiety, Sadness and Bing Bong.
On my bedside table is the plushie Pooh Family plus my Aura feame that I only use for my Disney photos.

And here is one corner of my crafting room!

 

[Tinkaboo]

Oh...and I just started doing Pandora...i usually buy one charm per trip if I find something I like...last trip it was the 70th "D" logo...

Guess I was late to the Pandora party but I just pick my fave characters and have one of each..haven't gone all crazy with it...i like the little Princess dress ones, I have Snow White and Tink.

And my Christmas stuff is all Disney and has been for decades...i even made a book for my kids showing the history of each ornament. I have the set from the 90s of the DL attractions (Castle, Space, Splash, matterhorn, Mickey 's house).
A couple of years ago, I bought the Disney train thatCostco had and it goes on the fireplace mantle. That is one of my faves.

So, yeah, I guess I am one of those "Disney Adults" written about in that book. I have it on request at the library so we'll see

That's us. We bought frames for the art but don't have enough wall space to hang it all.

I used to collect Disney pins too. My husband is a woodworker and also has a business on Etsy for wooden bowls, etc. He designed a bowl for me and inlayed my favorite pins into oval recessed spaces, covered with clear epoxy. I love this bowl and love looking at my favorite pins. I think making shadowboxes would be perfect

 

[disneyseniors]

I also collected Christmas ornaments each year and now have enough for a Disney tree. However, when we last visited, the ornaments all seemed to be the same which is a shame.

I regret letting kids waste so much on those pressed pennies and quarters
I regret wasting so much on the stupid Country Beat Jamboree plush. I have the whole set in my attic.

My favorite mug is my Pooh and tiger one friend m AKL asking Tigger is that you?
