[AuroraRora]

I love my Disney cookbooks. I got the latest one in October 2012 when I was there & I LOVEEEEE My swarvoski Mickey earrings.( I get compliments on them all the time) I bought them at the cart w/ jewelry next to Pirates attraction.

My favorite purchase: fans from Japan in Epcot. They wrote our names on them in Japanese.

Biggest regret: wish I'd bought one of the canvas tote bags which featured stylized Japanese girls wearing kimonos. (approx. $30) So pretty! Or a pearl!

I've managed to get a watch with one of the "spend X get a watch for Y" deals on the last two trips. That's a cool thing for me.

I'm a fan of the golf shirts with various logos on them. I regret not getting one last year that said 2012. I had one in my size in my hand and said "I'll grab it the next time through the store." I came back and they didn't have one in my size anymore and weren't getting anymore because it was the end of the year and the 2013 stuff was about to start.

My wife always gets a hoodie. Last year she also got a bag and a purse.

We get the personalized ear hats for the girls each time. We were very bummed that they don't do the custom hats at DTD anymore. It was neat for the girls to pick out the patches and such they wanted.

If there's anything I've learned it's that if you see something you want then it's a very good idea to get it right then. If you don't then you may not be able to get it at all.

I wish we would have gotten an Orange Bird Ear hat. Had it in my hand and decided to come back and get it. Never did.

My favorite souvenir is my Beauty and the Beast wine glass from New Fantasyland. It's something I actually use

I want to buy the monorail for around our Christmas tree every time we go, but I always put it off. I'll probably end up getting it on the Disney Store site so I don't have to lug it on a plane.

Could you post a picture. Would love to see what it looks like.

We got these Disney Nerd cups (juice glass size) one trip--DH picked them out. I have no idea why he got these, but now I love them. I use them when I am drinking red wine (crazy, I know).

Over the years, my favorite souvenirs have been...
-Silver Mickey ring that is a silver band with tiny embossed silver Mickey heads all around it. It just looks like a bumpy cool ring to anyone who doesn't recognize a Mickey Head! $25 from Mouse Gears in Epcot

- A Mexican blanket from Mexico in Epcot. I use it everyday while I snuggle on the couch. $25

-Watches, keychains, Mickey tea towels and Mickey shaped plastic icecubes are things I use all of the time.

- We get Disney Christmas ornaments every trip and my tree is loaded with them!

I think I will get a Pick A pearl next time... and more ornaments and a new keychain.

I collect vinylmations...I have about 30 (not a lot) I try to get some every trip since I started collecting them. This time I plan on getting some of my favourites...eg Tower of Terror, Everest, Space Mountain...etc. I got the Dole Whip in the blind trade and was so excited.

I wish I had bought the Mickey-shaped casserole dish on my last trip. I told myself I could get it online and not have to carry it back in my luggage, but the Disney Store is sold out. I have seen it on Amazon for around $40 so I may have to breakdown and get it that way.

Saw some really cute salt and pepper grinders at DL - I still wish that I'd bought them

 

[sephorachick]

I like those!!! I know what DH can buy me for my bday!
What was the price? If you don't mind sharing?

Sorry I JUST saw your comment. I got them for $30 in the park two years ago but I think they are $40ish online if you can still find them. I wear them at least 1 day a week.

Wish I had bought a couple more souvenir popcorn buckets at Magic Kingdom.

Did buy a fleece Mickey throw because it was so cold. Also bought a wooden Mickey pepper mill I like to buy one kitchen thing each time I go. On past trips, I've gotten a red Mickey colander, a spatula, a wine stopper, a bottle opener, and a pizza cutter.

I just found the Gourmet Mickey casserole dish I wanted at www.characterwearhouse.com and ordered it! Can't wait for the next potluck at work!

I got a pick-a-pearl butterfly charm thing to replace my sad butterfly charm that was falling apart at the time. I love it, but never wear it. I'm afraid DD might start chewing on it while I am wearing her, pop the pearl off, and choke.

I wish I had purchased a Duffy bear for DD. I adored those bears and really wanted something for her since she was with us, just not born yet. I kept waffling though due to suitcase space and ultimately decided not to. I will probably be purchasing one for her during this upcoming trip though unless I find something I like more.

DH really wanted those steins they serve beer in at the Germany pavilion in EPCOT. On our last night there, he planned to get a couple of them before Reflections, but the stand he visited was out! They told him they had some at the Norway pavilion and he ran all the way there, hoping they would still be open. They had just closed. He was sad. He's already said he's going to grab some the first time we visit EPCOT in May.

I love the dumbo pp bucket !! Like I almost cried because we are not going until August!! And what if they are gone by then

My wonderful DH bought me the diamond Mickey earrings to match the pendant he bought me on the cruise for our 15th anniversary. I can only wear gold--lucky me. He's also not allowed to buy me anything big for several bday s & Christmases.

I'm very lucky & nothing will top it. Diamonds & Mickey!!!

Looking forward to buying something w/ orange bird this year & that popcorn bucket is on my list thanks to this thread.

While we were on a December trip, my wife noticed a necklace she liked. We were almost out of funds by then, so we passed. I have since browsed through Disney's online shop and simply can't find it. So the lesson is - if you see something that moves you, grab it! I still hope I can find it for her one day.
