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

I used to purchase a new mug every trip but stopped doing that. I have quite a collection of antenna balls but those don't appear to be a thing anymore, since most cars don't have antennas. I also have quite a few pins.

I haven't purchased any collectables the past few trips. In fact my trip in May 2024 I forgot to even go shopping. The only thing I bought, aside from food, was a Tiki Mug from Trader Sams.

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

Can you post a pic? I would love to see this bowl, it sounds amazing!

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.

AGREED! I haven't bought one at Disney for years....There Is nothing NEW or UNIQUE anymore. The one I did see a couple years ago was the big Santa Mickey ear shaped ornament...it was $40...bought the same thing last year at TJs for $8!

I regret letting kids waste so much on those pressed pennies and quarters

My BIL had a bracelet made for my sister with all of her pressed pennies!

I had to thin out my mugs and I still have some cute antenna balls but no antenna. Can't bring myself to get rid of them, though!

I forgot about the mugs from Trader Sam's. I have 3 of those, I think, including the Tikitikitikitikitiki rum bowl & the shark one. They sit in a cupboard in a box. The problem with TS's is that after drinking one of those things, my defenses are down and I happily buy the stupid collector's mug that will likely sit in my bar in its box until I die.
