If there is one must have souvenir....

I asked my family and they each had different answers.
My DD really loves the nightshirt and mug she got last time.
My DS10 loves the pop gun he got in MK
I have a sorcerer mickey and baloo the bear who sit on my couch year round.
I'm looking forward to buying earrings, Disney stores don't carry them anymore and I need more!!!
So many great ideas, I think maybe we will try for a Cinderella castle picture this time and maybe check out the Studio M in DTD. It's almost time and we can't wait!!!

My most favorite was a Cinderella watch and art work made special for me at "Once Upon A Time...." store at MGM. Expensive, but my all time favorite!

Hope you have a wonderful trip! You have gotten a lot of great suggestions here so far! My favorite thing that I get each trip is a magnetic picture holder (MK, Ak, Epcot, etc.) to put on my fridge with a picture from my trip in it! I have many now and it is a great daily way to remember our trips! I also collect snow globes! My 6yo ds collect penny press pennies and pins. My dh loves a new coffee mug and, we usually get an attraction ( TOT, pirates of carribbean, etc.) t-shirt for the whole family!

I have a little list of things I MUST buy on EVERY trip to WDW! They are mostly little things; but I've got quite the collection going by now. I always get at least 1 magnet (preferably a photo frame with the year on it!), a new coffee mug, at least 1 christmas ornament and a t-shirt or 2! I buy other things too--those are just the things that I get on every trip!

I always buy a t-shirt of one of my favorite rides right after riding it. When I'm back home, I relive that particular ride everytime I wear that shirt.

Have a great time!

Lots of great ideas. We have tons of Disney stuff all over our house, been going since the 1970's and collect way too much stuff. Everyone calls our house "The Disney House". That being said the most precious memories are in our hearts and in our pictures. We always get a picture at Studio M of all 4 of us with Mickey (I have read on these boards though that Sudio M has closed, still lots of places to get a good pic!!) We buy an ornament (or 2 or 3) every year with the date. We also collect magnets. Our fridge is amazing, people can't believe it, we have magnets from everywhere and a lot of them are from Disney from the past 30 years!! We have them from every resort, park, year, etc. We also collect license plates, my daughter collects snowglobes. I have quite a few gold charms that I have bought over the years. We just recently bought a print from the Poly, really beautiful. My son collects Disney pins. I have a HUGE collection of t-shirts, I buy 2 or 3 each year. I almost need a bigger house just for them!! LOL!! As you can see from everyone's ideas there are oddles of things you can collect. Browse through some of the stores and get some ideas of what you like most.

Have Fun and Hope you have a Wonderful First Visit!!!

And I promise you it won't be you're last!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this thread - I'm leaving in about 6 days and I'm itching to spend some cash!

Licence plates...

The fact that in the UK we have to have boring yellow or white ones (both front and rear) makes them a bit of a novelty -

I've got a few on my wall after my more recent trips to the World.

Most of the major rides have their own specific one, and each park has at least one of its own.
