What are some of your favorite park purchases?

[DisneyFive]

Probably our souvenir photo of our very first ride down Splash Mountain. It was just my family and my MIL and FIL in the boat/log.

The cutest thing about it is my younger daughter (6 at the time). In the photo, she's pinching her nose shut, with cheeks puffed out holding her breath. She thought the boat might actually go underwater at the end of the drop!

Plus, my wife looks scared to death, screaming her head off...

Impossible to duplicate those first experiences!!!!

We always buy a Christmas ornament on each and every WDW vacation. This last vacation I bought a red wine glass etched w/ World Showcase on it. Love it!
On a side note, my husband and I bought a WDW 20th Anniversary book back in the 90's (during his first visit). A few years ago, we got a 40th Anniv book. We love looking through them and seeing the changes over 20 years.

A stitch tumbler with lid and straw. The one that looks like he's leaving a gross drool trail up the side of the cup. I got it for easy water drinking around the resort, and I use it to drink water at home all the time.

And a print from Art of Disney, one of Brian Kesinger's mermaid ones. Still need to find somewhere to hang it up, but really glad to have it.

Love 'all' my Disney coffee mugs from then & now, plus my Mickey watch Dh purchased for me there at Disney.

For me, it was a Christmas ornament I bought last month - 3D red Mickey head with the 4 park symbols carved on one side. A memory of the trip and a collector's item now that they are going to tear down the HS hat.

For someone else - 2 pins for my 8 year old niece. She got into pin trading like I never guessed she would. She found the Mickey from the Nerds Rock set and ended up finding 5 of the 7 in the set. The morning of the last day she hadn't found them all, so auntie here bought the whole set (they didn't sell individually) and covertly slipped the last 2 to CMs so she could trade for them. The look on her face when she realized she had the whole set was worth every penny and more! I kept the remainder of the now incomplete set as a reminder to me of how it felt to make her "dream" come true!

Last trip was '11, so recent for us.

We fell in love with the self-lit shadowbox dioramas they were selling in The Art of Disney.

We had to buy the Baymax shaped souvenir cup at HS when we were all here. He's adorable.

 

[Tonyz]

All my pins, my monorail coffee mug, and my little viking guy from Norway (now in memory of Maelstrom).

 

[FLchick415]

Well, my pins for starters. But also my Tinker Bell coffee mug that I use every day and a sterling silver Mickey ring that I wear all the time. (So Disney is always with me lol)

 

[Teacup53]

My favorite was a Tea for One Alice in Wonderland Teapot & Cup set. Tea just tastes better in a pretty cup. I bought it in 2008, it was the last one in the WOD and I picked it up to look at it and a very rude gentleman (ok, he wasn't a gentleman at all but this is the Dis so I will be nice) actually tried to take it out of my hands. Well, after that I decided I would buy it and every weekend I use it, it brings me joy from using such a sweet set.

 

[Off to Neverland 7]

DBF and I love to collect and trade Vinylmation's every trip. We remember each trip and random interactions with Cast Members with each little vinyl. I also recently got a new mickey mouse mug and french press from Disneyland so mornings are a little easier.
