My first souvenir was a necklace. It had Tinkerbell printed on a white heart that I got when I was 5. This was in 1960.
 
My first Disneyland trip was our honeymoon in 1999. I picked up a Christmas ornament with the date on it which was the start of our collection. Every trip we take we buy a new ornament with the year on it.
 
A small skull from the Pirates gift shop way back in the '80's. I' sure if it other things that trip, but that is the one I really remember.

I do the same thing! Although I didn't start until after 4-5 trips.
 
I don't know if I got anything on my first trip in 1986, when I was almost 4. I don't have any pictures with it, if so. The next year my parents went without us and brought me back a stuffed baby Mickey Mouse. The first time I remember picking out my own it was a small stuffed Lucky from 101 Dalmatians. I had him until this year, then he finally got downsized. :-/

We didn't have a lot of money when I was really young, so on our first trip to Disneyland when I was around 4, my souvenir was one of those big round rainbow lollipops with Mickey on it that my mom bought me from the gas station on Harbor. Funny thing is, I saved that big lollipop and still have it all those years later! I've now worked my way up to Disney Dooney's as a souvenir! ;)

Around 1996, when I was 12, and it was a pair of big, floppy, Goofy head slippers (that I still have).
 
Mine was a plastic glow in the dark tinkerbell wand, and gold tinkerbell necklace, her sort of standing on a little cage that had jewels in it and a park map. All from way back in 1971. Being from up in Canada, and we didn't have much money, so that was our one and only trip to Disneyland until I was an adult and went back with my own kids! And then of course the snowball effect took over....
 
It's been so many years ago, so many trips ago (I a local) but I think it was a pirate flintlock pistol from Pirates of the Caribbean or Mickey Ears Hat.
 
I went on my first trip when I was 17. I bought a Goofy hat (plastic face and long ears), a plush Briar Rabbit, and Winnie the Pooh sunglasses. I still have the plush and the hat.
 
Mine was a giant rubber snake from the jungle cruise when I was seven. My parents wanted me to get anything else pretty much but I wanted that snake and nothing else. Funny thing is my husband did the same thing when he was a kid.
 
The first one I remember was when I was about 5. I got a gold metal bell, and the handle was Tinkerbell. At the same time, I got a flat round box of bath powder with Tinkerbell's picture on it, and it was called Pixie Dust. My neighbor convinced me I could fly if I dusted it on and jumped off the cement block wall between our houses. She was wrong. That was 1961.
 
The first one I remember is from the 70's - a 45 record of Small World. I'm thinking I never listened to it since it's still in the bag with receipt.
 
1984... it was a crew neck sweatshirt with Minnie Mouse wearing a pair of Sunglasses. I got it in EPCOT. That was when there were only 2 parks.
 
Mine was a green wooden parrot on a stick from the Enchanted Tiki Room. I loved that thing and had it for many years.
 
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.

Never listened to it??? I don't remember it being a 45, but I had an album of the music, and nearly wore it out. Also nearly was the victim of stepdaughter-icide b/c I listened to it over and over and over again in the presence of my poor stepmom. :)
