My favorite souvenir to bring home from any trip is a refrigerator magnet. I have magnets from every trip I've ever taken (including non-Disney trips).

My favorite WDW magnet has a picture of Walt standing on Main Street looking down at Mickey Mouse. It's so cute.

That's what I collect, the magnets. . .I love them. I also have a pin collection but I only pin collect when I am with my son. . .cause we have a system. If I end up with a pin he wants, he will work to find a pin I want and then we trade. . .lol.

I never got into pin trading. Although it looks like fun.

I did buy a 2008 Mickey Snowglobe in 2007 as inspiration for a trip in 2008. It worked cause we went back to WDW this past August

I was looking for a 2009 snowglobe but I couldn't find one. I would love to buy one with the year of each of my trips as a memento.

I would have never gotten into pin trading but my 15 1/2 year old (yes, my teenager) got me hooked. Its his fault I tell ya. . .lol.

I can totally see my son applying to the college program. He is just one of those DISNEY kids. . .lol. Hey, if he works the college program does that mean mom can get discount rooms and free passes. . .lol?

I have been trying to convince my kids to go work for Disney. In case it doesn't work out for me, I can live through them

I worked as a character in my junior and senior year of high school during the summers and holidays. I LOVED it. The perks then were AWESOME. I understand they are not as great now. But then there was not WDW. Only Disneyland Park and in Florida we had Magic Kingdom. (late 70s). Epcot was on the drawing board but did not come into existence till 1982.

Wow! Working for Disney seems like it would be soooo cool. If you don't mind me asking, which character were you?

Well, I wasn't a princess. . .lol. I played Doc. Snow White was a popular character then. I wasn't quite tall enough to do princess work but was a perfect 5'4" for Doc. . .I have grown an inch since then and now I am the stasis zone. . .no character work for people 5'5". . .plus I am old now. . .so my dreams of being a disney character when I am retired will have to wait till things change. . .maybe I'll drive a main street vehicle. . .lol.

That is so amazing to have had that experience.

I dream of going to work for Disney. I hope to be able to work for Disney within the next five years.

Just got back from spending an afternoon in NYC, was in the audience of Late Night with Conan. I know some of you are in bed early but if you are up watching you might catch a glimpse, I am a few rows behind the trumpet player.

There was a time when we would buy small figurines but that was when there was a 'we'. We also bought pins, and I still do for special events such as SWW or holidays, such as just buying the 2008 Halloween pin. I was also looking at snow globes, but there was a sign near them saying there would be a problem carrying them onto the plane.

Cool you used to work there Darcy, during my recent trip I was talking to a cast member that was from a few towns away, and he gave me the names of some people that do the work I do. Though driving the monorail looks kind of neat.

Honestly Augie, it could have been a mcdonalds job as it was so long ago. . .I played Doc in parades and would occasionally do meet and greets. . .In the 70s we would travel as 7 with Snow. . .Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty were the only other princesses then and their princes were not a part of the picture. That is a later evolution

Oh and I have several hours before late night with conan. . .gotta watch now. . .

Just presented a group project for one of my classes. I think it went really well, and now I have nothing due for 3 whole days!

Adding a question for this thread to keep it going since Tracy is out of town...(Hope you don't mind)

What is your favorite souvenir to bring back for friends/ family from WDW?

Mine is keychains...Thankfully no-one in my family has a really funky name, except for me, I can't find RoseAnne on anything!!!!

I usually end up bringing back some chocolate covered mickey pretzels
(hmm . . .I'm starting to notice I have some kind of food thing going on)

That's so cool! It sounds like it was so much fun

I'll have to make sure I stay up to watch!

I have to say that I like to collect the "Mickey's Really Swell Coffee" ceramics. I have the coffee canister, 1 blue coffee cup and the Sugar and Creamer set (I love the colors). I also have to buy the coffee to bring home, I collect those canisters to, their good to store stuff in

HI everyone

30 year old male from Mass here. Currently separated which leaves me no one to go to Disney with

My favorite Disney resort would probably be WL- really want to stay there for christmas one year

My dream resort is the Boardwalk

My favorite disney movie would probably be Toy Story

The 1st thing I do when I get to WDW, (assuming I take the first flight out of Providence) would be to go the MK, get a hot dog from Casey's and soak it all in before I start my adventure.

Has any decision been made about Foxwoods?

Here is a pic for all to enjoy

Hey there! Sorry to hear about your separation, but I hope time will heal yah (along with trips to WDW and whatever else helps).

I think there are alot of folks down here who will join yah if 'n when you head down (whenever that may be). I haven't joined up on a DisMeet yet, but alot of locals and non-locals seem to meet through that and have lots of fun experiences they share here.

And hey..I'm here too! (shameless plug)

Thanks! Yeah, I just take it day by day. It does seem to get better with each passing day

I almost took a solo trip in Dec when they offered free dining, but decided against it. If they do it agin in 2009 for x-mas time I am there ($$$ pending )

 

[Ragnrok23]

Did I scare everyone away?

You all seemed like such a chatty bunch before I came
