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

I found my fuzzy dice at Mousegears in Epcot. I love that store!

I always buy a WDW tote bag to carry my things around the park. Also, my Mickey toaster and waffle maker are so much fun. My all time favorite are my WDW Christmas ornaments and Christmas cards and snowglobes.

I have a few - my Mickey antenna topper, my Mickey ears umbrella (it makes rainy days more fun), my zip up Mickey sweatshirt that I got this past December when I was freezing, every time I wear it it brings back memories and on my desk I have a pirate Mickey in a bottle that I got in the Pirates of the Carribean store, whenever I look at it it takes me back.

Favorite is my gold charm that DH bought me on our anniversary - Mickey and Minnie on a heart.

2nd fav - we have a coffee mug from every resort we've stayed at (which is all except Poly and CR). Love to have our coffee and tea in these...just brings a little magic and pixie dust to every day.

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 Minnie Mouse princess antennae topper got stolen too! So the last time we bought some, we superglued them to the antennae - now nobody can just walk by and pull them off. They are still there after two years!

We always get a photo album with the year's theme on it. I put all our photos in them from that trip. It's a great way to organize them. I also love my Mickey Mouse teddy bear and my hubby got me some gold Tinkerbell earrings for my birthday last summer when we were at MK as a surprise.

My favorite is buying the dated Disney photo frame that says "Disney World 2004" and I place a family pic from the trip in it. It's fun to have the frames sitting in my husband's office and seeing our family change in each pic.

Mine would be the license plates. All 251 of them.

 

[Ducky4Disney]

WOW! - 251 license plates! I just got one from e-bay. It's from the Haunted Mansion and says "Doom Bugy" - I have it on the front of my car - I love it!

I love my refillable mugs from CSR, my light up mug from MNSSHP, I collect pins but I didn't do to much collecting last time, I was waiting for the Halloween pins to come out.

I like the idea of having a theme. I think I will have a theme for my pin collecting on my next trip!

I thought I was the only one with a Mickey ears umbrella!

holy license plates!!! where do you keep them all? are they displayed some how? I'm picturing an entire wall covered with them.


by the way, I'm loving everybodys responses. Maybe one day I'll be driving and see another pair of fuzzy dice next to me.

My pressed penny book and the scrapbook pages I've made from the trip are what I still have and show to everyone, and my kids are still pretty fond of the Eeyore ears my cousin bought them in 2001. However, the souvenir with the most sentimental value I didn't pay for at all, though. As I was walking into Epcot for an afternoon visit with my Dad and two small kids, it started to rain. A man and his family who were leaving the parks gave us their golf umbrella. Thy said they were going home and wouldn't need it anymore. I'm not sure I even thanked him properly I was so dumbfounded by his gesture. We still have the umbrella and it has already made one return Disney trip and will make another at the end of the year. It's nothing fancy, but I will never forget the gesture. It has kept us warm and dry many times since then.

I have a spoon rest that I love, I got it many years ago and it has a picture of the magic kingdom, I can't find them like that anymore.!!

 

[kirstyfly]

All the souvenirs i got are my favourite but for different reasons.

I love the magnets on my fridge because every time i go to my fridge i remember my trip.

My coffee cup is great as I often have a cup of tea and look at the mug and remember my trip.

The photo frame I have from WDW is cool as it has a photo of me and chip and dale in.

And we got some lovely Christmas tree decorations so each year when I put the tree up i can remember my trip.

 

[Armadillo4]

Wow, lots of fuzzy dice and antenna topper fans here! They're great, aren't they? I love 'em too. But what, no pin fanatics here?

My fave souvenirs are from AK. We have lion and tiger mini bean bag plush that roar when you squeeze them. They have the AK logo on them and are really cute! They sit on top of our computer monitor so I am constantly reminded of WDW!

At the time, I thought "This is dumb," but it brings me more smiles and happy memories:

Last May we had "floor" seats at the Hoop-Dee-Doo MR. Our server was this energetic, kinda scattered guy (I mean that in a good way -- he was a great server) who never stopped talking. Said his name was "Rob, but that he was dyslexic so we could call him 'Bor'" and on, and on. At the end of the show, "Rob" passed out red, white, & blue ball-pt. pens to everyone, and on the pen was his "Rob or Bor" name with WDW on it. Ok.

Well, NOW, EVERY SINGLE TIME I TAKE OUT ONE OF THOSE PENS TO WRITE A CHECK (or whatever), I have such a warm, happy, smiley feeling and I am greatful to "BOR" for this gift!

That's my favorite souvenir from WDW! I will never part with my pens!

that's a sweet story. It's funny how a little thing can touch someone and the person doesn't even realize it. Makes you wonder if anyone out there has a story about you.

I almost forgot the washcloths, I like to collect all the different washcloths, I must have over a hundred of them and from all the different lands as well as the classic ones.

I am going to have to do this. Our last trip I got one only to have it stolen 2 days after I got home. My DH ordered one from WDW and gave it to me for Christmas, (probably because I still complain about losing it 2 years later) that one last 1 week before it was swiped. We will be there in May. I think I will try again with the super glue!

 

[kathymc]

from my last trip - my DH bought me a mickey head pearl necklace where three pears make up the mickey head.

granted it was a special and not so cheap "souvenier" as it was my birthday - but I love it and get so many complements!

Definately our leather Park jackets from 2000.
