DVC Chit Chat Thread

okay, DVC owners let's chat! You regularly go on Disney property so you've probably bought a Disney coffee mug, shirt, etc. Now that you've been several times to Disney, do you even buy merchandise souvenirs anymore?
We just got back from a short trip and didn’t buy any souvenirs. We’ve become more selective about what we bring home over the years. I used to leave room in the suitcase specifically for souvenirs because we bought so much. Something really has to catch my eye now, like my monorail mini tongs or our wooden Mickey he’d we use for charcuterie. Also, I am a sucker for a Disney Christmas ornament!
 
It is crazy that DLR does not want our money like WDW 🤣
Right?! Instead I am using mobile order for food and buying with GC in person and each time Im told my remaining balance on my GC so I know the damage I am doing.

To top it off often I am alone shopping and DH keeps the cards in his wallet so I cant buy if I wanted to. At WDW I have my payment strapped to my wrist!

I was shocked when on our last trip I didn't buy a single souvenir. Normally I am the one telling my husband to go start the credit card and have it warmed up lol. We have a lot of stuff already, so something has to really speak to me at this point.

We were definitely scaling back on Disney purchases - until DD presented us with a DGD, who's now a toddler and into Disney princesses! And books, lots of books.

The new Disney golden books are amazing. We adore this one so much. It has Disney history. Love it!

If that was supposed to be an amazon link, it goes to some sketch super offers thing instead.

We sat down last night and figured out dining somewhat for upcoming trip in June, long story short we ended up talking ourselves into the DDP, even though Oldest is 11 and we gotta pay for her as an adult, the free kids for other 2 helps do some lifting, figured it was maybe 300ish more than what we would spend normally for what we would eat, so plan to hit more character meals and expensive things than normal. I figured the last time we did the DDP in 2024 would be the last, but here we are.

We are staying at BRV and was gonna do Storybook dining if we didnt go DDP, but since thats 2 TS credits thats not happening, kinda bummed we wont be doing it. Plan to do akershus breakfast and either H&V breakfast or dinner for fantasmic dining package, still got a month to figure out the dining details before 60 days hits.

It has become less common. I need to thin the t-shirt herd, so am on a complete moratorium there (not just at Disney---in general) even though I often see some I like. I could use a coffee mug, but they always seem to be absurdly large. I could use another ball cap, but I never see one I like enough to buy.

I did buy a Peter Millar Riviera golf polo this last trip. With the DVC 20% discount, it was less than ordering a similar polo at retail from PM directly. But that was it, I think.
