It was more than just the brand

[SL6827]

Never paid so much for a purse. But it has so much meaning and memories on it for me during the last 15 years. Even my very first ride on my very first trip that I will never do again is there.

Why is it sideways??? Fixed it!

Mine have come out sideways too. Some get around it by taking a picture (screenshot maybe?) of the original picture and posting that. Technology is not my thing!

It's a great purse. I don't spend much on purses either as I rarely carry them, but I had an AP this year that I am not planning to renew, so I splurged on a D&B Disney World purse.

It is a retired purse but the one I got is brand new. I do have one other Dooney that I wish I could sell now that I don't own DVC anymore. But I might keep it. I have never seen a Dooney that is more me than this one.

Sell your old Disney dooney‘s on eBay. I sold all mine there, usually for pretty close to what I paid for them. I had that print too, but the purse just ended up too big for me.

Ya, I am kinda wondering about how big it will be. But when I saw the letter carrier for $300 on a wdw store and it was $330 on ebay, I went for it.

My Disney Dooney's bring me JOY!!! I have quite a few in various sizes. I do have a HUGE Disney theme purse purchased thru Amazon using Hilton reward points for practically nothing. It's my largest purse but I don't care! I use it in the fall because I have scarves, gloves and with Xmas shopping I can throw it all in the purse!

The one in the pic is not the one I bought. The one I bought has even better placement. It was some of the best placement I have seen on it. There is one on sale on Merica for around $80 less but the placement is no where near what the one I bought has.

That's what I've found. I have the 25th anniversary DVC bag, and I LOVE it. But . . . it's too big for practical use at Disneyland, since I want to be able to go on the rides, and it's like bringing a carry on bag. I only use it around the hotel. My actual Disney parks bag is one I had made on Etsy from some Disney fabric.

I seen one on Etsy and it was sooooooo close to the Dooney design. I was sooooooo impressed and shocked that artist could get away with that. Last few trips, I have went bagless the parks.

I have at least 5 Disney D&Bs, I would have to go pull them out and count to make sure. I only by the small crossbody type though. I have a number of other D&Bs that are larger but my Disney ones I use when travelling or just running out to the store real quick. I don't use a bag at all at Disney, I go bagless.

 

[SL6827]

Going bagless at the parks is so wonderful. Never thought I could do it but it is awesome. My phone and Magic Band. That's it.

I love my Disney Dooney's too. I have way more of them than I want to admit. My DH also isn't a very creative gift giver, so his "go to" gift is a new purse.

 

[SL6827]

It's perfect!

Im glad you did something for yourself, I really struggle with that.

Believe me, I did struggle with the price. But I just got to thinking that we really don't know if or when we will make it back down to Disney. And I really wanted something like this to remind me of the past 15 years of just how fortunate I have been to take 11 trips, I think.
