favorite souvenir

[poohtown]

what's your favorite souvenir you brought back from the parks? Besides the obvious photographs. I love my kids pins and autograph books, but my personal favorite thing is my Mickey Mouse ears fuzzy dice. Everytime I get in my car and it's freezing out, I look at my dice and think warm......bathing suits......sun.....

My favorite isn't from the parks exactly, but it's my refillable mug from the Contemporary. I use it every single day for my morning coffee and then again at night for my decaf while watching tv. My kids use their kids cups from Sci-Fi and the water parks all the time too. We've certainly gotten our money out of those purchases.

I really love our WDW refrigerator magnets! LOL!! We have two that hold photos, and I see them everytime I go to the fridge. One photo is my oldest son with Mickey, and the other is myself and my boys on Main Street in front of Cinderella's Castle. I love seeing them all the time.

(I forgot to say that we bought the magnets themselves at WDW, one is the older looking Mickey and Minnie, and the other is Tinkerbell and Cinderella's Castle.)

We went to Typhoon Lagoon early one day and were in the wave pool before the crowd hit. The CM there organized a body surfing contest and, after 10 or so runs, picked a few of us out for recognition. My son and I got picked! We got up on a little stage just outside the wave pool and we each got a Typhoon Lagoon surfboard keychain. Brings back great memories of a great day and vacation!

I love my Mickey Ears fuzzy dice too! They make me smile every time I look at them. I also love my Mickey antenna topper.

Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooooh...Where did you get the dice?

I forgot my favorite. It is my Mickey ears umbrella! I saw it on our first trip (Honeymoon) but at that time $30 for an umbrella wasn't in our budget. By the next trip I still wanted it so I sought it out and I love it.

I have a topper too but when I drive with it, the antenna looks like it's going to break in two. I ended up keeping it in the glove compartment and use it when I go shopping at the mall as a car finder.

ps to cujochurch:
<<<Ooooh, Ooooh, Oooooh...Where did you get the dice?>>>

my husband picked them out for me in the gift shop of Test Track. It was cute because he says 'i know they're kinda corny, but I thought you'd like them'. I guess I'm just a corny kinda gal. LOL

My Disney charm bracelet.

Every trip to Disney, I purchase a charm that symbolizes something special about that trip (in December, it was Cindy's castle because we saw wishes for the first time and I LOVED it!).

Also my Mr. Potatohead(s).

Seems like we always find new accessories for Mr. Pototohead each time we go to Disney. So, of course, I have to collect them all. I keep them in a basket by my desk. My kids love to play with them (and so do I). I keep one on top of my computer with his Mickey ears on, and he's a daily reminder of the place I love so much!

I started collecting salt and pepper shakers. Originally I bought them for a friend sort of as a joke because we love to go to WDW and she doesn't want to ( can you believe that), then I got hooked! They are my souvenir of choice for all my friends now!!

My favorite so far is cabinet handles we found in DTD in the home store. We put them in the kids' bathroom - Mickey Hands for the drawer pulls and Mickey Ears for the doors to the cabinet.

I too love my stars and stripes mickey antenna topper. Its so faded now. Lucky we are going back in april. I think I'll buy 2. Even the ds comment about it. Like looking at old autograph books the ds have. My disney cruise line pen. I hid it in the drawer but looks like someone found it.

My Disney charm bracelet, each trip I purchace a new 3-D charm. I have now started my neices silver bracelets with charms and they add a charm with each visit.

The Figment doll my grandfather bought me many years ago before he passed away. Sigh.

I have two. One is a great little purse I purchased at World of Disney. It is brown, with mickey head design. It looks like a designer bag until you get close and really see it has little mickey heads all over it.

The other is a stuffed teddy bear. He's extra soft and has mickey icons on his paws. Also, the white fur on his face is shaped as a mickey too. He's adorable and is sitting in a child's rocker in my living room.

My "Grumpy" zip up sweatshirt...love it! My hubby bought it for me on our honeymoon...and yes, I wore it with my wedding ears. (got some funny looks from that one!)

But - I really love the food and water dishes we brought back for our dog...we even got her a Disney collar too...she'll never get to visit Disney...but she's still a Disney Dogger!

Hmm, I have a few souveneirs that are worth metioning. First and most favorite is my Sorcerer Mickey doll, I still curl up with him. I love my disney pin collection, hoping to finish collecting the mickey shaped country flags from World Showcase. Finally my Minnie antenna topper, reminds me everyday that I wanna go back.

Each time we go my DS (12) has kind of a theme. Last time it was Sorcerer Mickey, so he bought the hat, pens, etc. The previous time it was Pluto (wore the hat in all of our pictures). He is now wondering what it will be on our next trip coming up - he waits until he is there to see what strikes him (thinking maybe Buzz).

I haven't had much luck with antenna toppers; my Mickey from Disneyland and Mike Wazowski were both stolen. Oh well, my new car doesn't have an antenna anyhow.

My most sentimental souveniers are the coloring books my two older kids got from DL on our first trip in 1986. They were 3 and 5 and I was recently divorced and broke. But I really wanted to take them so we drove from Phoenix and stayed for 2 days. I brought most of our food and the only souveniers they got were coloring books and stickers, and the whole trip cost $200. That was a memorable trip.

We have a collection of fridge magnets from each of our trips but our favorites are the mugs we have picked up after each visit...it's great to start each day with some thoughts of WDW!
