Souvenir Buying... What Are Your Automatic Must-Purchases / Plans?

[LadyDiznee123]

I've been dying to go to those two Disney outlets but haven't had a chance since I learned about it (most of my trips are only 2 days at Disney).

I don't have any automatic purchases, but my favorite has been the character sketch artwork (I love things you can display at home to remind you of Disney every day!). I also like some of the low key clothing and accessories (like scarves), and Christmas ornaments.

Lately I've found there are less items I find really appealing in the gift shops, and believe me, I come wanting to buy stuff! I've found a lot of the items to feel pretty generic overall.

I have 8 days and I really going to try and make sure I catch the bus to those stores. The buses run there from DTD.

Here are the buses (bus number 8 and 42 take you to the Premium Outlet mall):

I get a new coffee mug every trip and this year I am looking forward to picking up one of the Disney Starbucks You Are Here mugs when we are in Disneyland. Also, love the Disney parks Alex & Ani bracelets. I have CA Adventure and Hollywood Studios. Going to pick up Disneyland park this year, too. Sometimes I will pick up a new keychain or car accessory. DH usually gets a t-shirt or a sweatshirt.

At least one mug is a must for me!

I think they are lovely as well. I look forward to getting those when I have kids. You mean the Cinderella carriage buckets right? It's just a tad more than I want to spend for myself, but if I have little girls we will definitely bring one home from the parks.

I have not been able to get the cinderella one yet but I have two Santa Mickeys, Dumbo and Han Solo. Looking for to MNCCHP to get one there.

There are a bunch of them. Oh and I have a Darth Vadar helmet one too. I want the one that looks like the Mickey balloon

You know, I think I do recall seeing on a You Tube Disney Haul Vlog that Darth Vadar bucket. It would have to be a character that I really like to purchase. Like Tiana, Tink, Merida, Cheshire Cat, Seven Dwarfs.

I'm trying to figure out something to do at home to reuse my popcorn buckets! Storage or something... I have a Frozen one from Tokyo Disney that is the size of the regular popcorn buckets but collapses to a smaller size. And it has a strap. I'm thinking of reusing that one for popcorn at the zoo so I don't have to hold it

usually some type of coffee mug and a keychain. I always buy a new picture frame as I hold my photos dearly.

Hello Fellow Disney Nerds!:

Your Automatic sight unseen that you know you always pick up when you go to WDW. (*_*)

The terrible red rash around my ankles. Always goes away within a few days of leaving WDW.

Seriously, I always get the rash, without even trying.

Wow. Wonder what it is?

I'm planning on buying a new hoodie if I can find one in my size. The one I wear now is from 2006 and is getting pretty ratty (doesn't stop me from wearing it even with the small holes).

You can search the Disboards for "disney rash". There are many threads about it. Many guests get this souvenir.
You can google "disney rash" There are many other Disney sites that talk about it. It is a quite common, and unpleasant souvenir.

Wow. Never heard of it. Going to check it out. Hell of a souvenir.

Cool. Well worn. Now you can put it away and preserve it in its current condition. Wear out the new one! Soon enough you'll have a collection of your well worn Disney Hoodies!

We always buy a magnet, photo album and Christmas ornament with the year on it.

I love the popcorn buckets too. I have way too many of the "regular" ones but I love them all-need to find a practical use for them. I also have a Dumbo, Ghost Mickey, and 2 Christmas Mickey shaped ones. I'm hoping to get another different Christmas Mickey one this November. Wish I was going to be at the parks to get a Zero dog house one too but I don't think they will still have them when I go mid November.

I did a google search on the Mickey Balloon one. SO CUTE!!! But it looked to me like it was special for the 60th anniversary of DL. Did they have them at WDW?

I haven't been in 17 years, but when I get there in March I'll probably stick to the basics:

Christmas ornament
key chain
magnet
t-shirt
mug

Other than those items, I plan to spend my money on cupcakes. LOL.
