Do you remember your first souvenir?

I don't remember my first trip in 76. I do know that I met Dopey, but only because I got a photo with him. Got another with him in 03 at WDW, they look great next to each other.
I do remember trip in 1979, it may have been my third trip, I seem to recall a trip between 76 and 79. That year, I got a Peter Pan hat. And one of those lollipops. They're like 6 inches in diameter, every kid wants one, they still sell them, and I don't recall if I ever finished eating it.

I remember a pen. And I remember a bucket hat with red plastic that acted as a visor. Not sure if that was *from* Disneyland or *for* Disneyland. I also very very firmly remember getting a drink in an orange plastic, well, orange. But only people on WDW talk about that, and I didn't go to WDW until 2000.

I bet it was from the old Sunkist sponsored stand, hilariously named "Sunkist I presume?"!

I can't remember my first souvenir that my parents bought me, but the first one I bought was in 1988. It was a Disneyland license plate with Mickey, the castle, and 1988 on it. I still have it and it's in perfect condition.

My first visit was as a teenager and I self-funded a long road trip from WA to Disneyland, stopping in San Francisco and Six Flags Magic Mountain before getting to DL. By then, I was so BROKE that I don't think I got anything except pressed pennies!! And the mandatory embroidered ear hat, of course!

Mine was a little yellow octopus bought in 1971, from the Crystal shop on Main Street, long since broken.

Yes, it was 1969, I was six. It's a button that says Disneyland, I Tink it's great, with a picture of Tinkerbell. I still have it!

My first trip when I was 3, I still have my ears. They are blue. When I was older, my parents let me choose and I always picked a cap gun from Frontierland. They were awesome and made out of wood. I had two rifles and a pistol. They got so much use!

Well, we're talking the early 60's, soooo - it was free souvenirs: the little umbrella from the drink at the Tahitian Terrace and paper napkins with "Disneyland" on them. The first bought souvenir was a really big pencil with Disneyland scenes on it.

Can't recall if it was my first ever souvenir, but I still remember getting my first pair of mickey ears with my name on it like it was yesterday, but actually in the mid 1980s

I don't remember my first souvenir but my mom has a beautiful Minnie charm bracelet charm that she got at Disneyland about 40 years ago!

My first trip from Australia to Disneyland was in 1993 or 4, and I bought my first pair of Mickey Ears. Pink with my name on them..
