What do you collect??

[wisbucky]

I am a scrapbooker too. I love collecting the napkins at the resturants we eat at. Makes for great scrapbooking pages and it also gives me a warm feeling of WDW when winter hits here in Wisconsin.

We have a some of almost everything mentioned so far. One thing I just started was collecting from the Jim Shore collection.

The squished pennies. Hmmm, isn't it illegal to deface money?

Speaking of "illegal," and Heaven help me if these Boards are policed by the Authorities... ::cop:

I have always collected "Do Not Disturb" door hangers. The ones from my DVC Home - BWV, are actually pretty generic. But we have one from every DVC resort we have stayed at and from other hotels as well. They all hang on the back of our guest room door, for any of our overnight guests' use or amusement.

I have lots of DVC cardboard coasters, and welcome Home folders.

I don't have much tolerance for collecting things, every so often I throw things out. Imagine how surprised I was when I found a "Honored Guest" button, cardboard which would use adhesive backing from our 1977 trip! This little thing has made it through numerous "trash days" and a move to PA and then a move to Ohio, and really I had no idea it existed. I've put it in a little bank treasure chest that we got on the '05 Members Cruise, one of the few items that I've kept from that great time.

I really like looking at pictures, those are my most valued treasures.

I framed out an area of my living room wall and place Disney license plates ( you know the ones you put on a car)

I get one with the year , my first is 1976 ! I also try for the resort I stay in and then other specific ones like parks and such.

The last couple of years its been getting tougher and tougher to get any plate except for the year plate !

I added to my depression glass collection today!!!

Cobalt pitcher with 6 glasses, I'm in heaven!

I collect Disney Bills and Debt. Sometimes I look around and wonder what it all went too.

Then I look around and I have Pins, Snowglobes, Lithographs, and now I'm into Big Figs.

Maps. I have a huge drawer full of them.

Pressed pennies. The family has 4 or 5 books full (not just from Disney though - everywhere we go - they're a great "cheap" souvenir.

Those various plastic things that get put into drinks or sandwiches (dolphins from Coral Reef, the old Epcot multi-circle logo, the MGM watertower, etc). Have a bundh from both WDW and DLR.

I have a collection of popcorn buckets. We get one every trip.

Wow - I thought I was the only one! I haven't figured out what to do with them yet; any suggestions?

 

[buzz5985]

I have a collection of refillable mugs that we use everyday at home for coffee.

DS 11 likes pins and pressed pennies.

DH and I like watches, and I have some nice 14 kt charms - hard to find, few stores sell them.

 

[cpdwiz]

PINS, PINS, PINS.........We used to have so much Disney but we sold & gave it all away. The only thing that continues are the pins. I just received 11 in the mail today from Mouse Gears.

Whoops.....Disney ornaments. One of our Christmas trees is mostly Disney.

Pins, pins and more pins...We have over 600 displayed in cases in our living room! We love them! We can always look at them and think back to how and when we got it, ride pins, show pins....I have been getting SSR pins now that we have won.....

 

[DVC Mike]

Just Disney T-shirts. I have several dozen...

 

[I love Disney!!]

Last trip I bought my first Jim Shore piece, so I guess its not a collection yet (cause I only have one) But I am going to get one each trip now.

I like to get a christmas ordament each year and get the year painted on it.

Plus we just started with Pins (which seems to be the most addictive)

 

[a Really Bad Egg]

I lost may favorite VB cap riding on the drachen fire coaster at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg What a horrible death for a disney cap. I should have known better. I think about it almost every day.

What are Big Figs?

Big Figs, are Big Figurines or statues. They are usually about 2' tall and are figures of characters or other items. Here is a pic of one of my favorite.

I collect the room key cards and old passes and stick them in front of my work badge several people have asked me how I got a Donald Duck door swipe card.
My YB collects Disney Pins, Barbies and anything else she sees.

It wasn't intentional, but I seem to have a collection of Disney night shirts. I usually get one while I'm there, and people have been giving me presents of them for several years. My last one was "I don't do mornings" from the AKL gift shop - with a graphic of a leopard sleeping on a limb.

We also seemed to have amassed a number of Disney Christmas ornaments and mugs. And all the ticket/event/resort cards we bring back. And maps. Oh, and a bunch of Disney visors and golf hats. And Disney character golf headcovers. I even have a V&A menu from 1991. And two animations cells from waaay back when you got a "free gift" if you paid for your whole vacation with Amex.

I guess I have a big collection of "Disney Stuff"!
