What is the one item you wish you had bought while you were at Disney?

A purple Beauty and the Beast t-shirt saying "It's Complicated". By the time I decide to buy it, it had been phased out.
 
About 15 years ago I saw a snow globe at DHS, at that time still MGM, that I desperately wanted. My children were much younger then and I would barely spend anything on myself, let alone the $100 or more that it cost. It resembled the boat at Fantasmic and I believe had about two dozen characters on it and the actual snow globe part of it had Steamboat Willie at the helm. I talked about it for an entire year and was determined I would buy it during the next trip. Of course when we returned to WDW the following year it was gone. I was so disappointed. Eventually I found it on Ebay, but was hesitant to purchase it because I was worried it might get damaged during shipping. I will give in one day and buy it because I do love it so much.
 
We buy very little on our trips. We look and now and then see something we like. Overall its the same old stuff that is absurdly high priced. Just can't pay the prices Disney wants.
 
Not for myself but on our first trip my youngest was 5. She saw a princess nightgown that she wanted in the POR gift shop. It was the end of the week and I was tired, knee jerk I said no. She started to cry and make a scene so I stuck to my guns. I was NOT going home with that nightgown. I always buy my kids a little surprise that they wanted but I said no originally. They get it when we get home. I would NOT buy that nightgown and reward her behavior, even after the fact. She's almost 11, hasn't been into princesses for a very long time now and I wish I'd bought the damn nightgown, lol.
 

I was so happy I remembered to buy Disney Dollars but now I wish I had bought more. I had planned on giving them away as gifts but will be keeping them all now that they have been discontinued. I did buy more by phone when I heard they would be sold only another day, and was a little disappointed when they arrived and I saw they all have STITCH on them..the ones I bought in the park have MICKEY. First World problem.
 
When I was 16, I got the rose from Beauty and the Beast- it's small, a music box plays "Tale as Old as Time", the rose and the case are all glass. I still have it, and it's sitting much loved in my daughter's room now.
 
Absolutely super glad I got the Starbucks mugs. I love them and use them every day! Really regret not buying Disney art like a print of our resort to hang on the wall back home.
 
The 'Music from the Parks' CD. My husband went through Orlando airport for work a few months later and I insisted he brought it back for me. I love listening to 'Tiki Room' while I'm boiling the kettle and 'Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow' while I'm ironing etc. Haha. You can't buy it from iTune here in the UK either.
 
I used to, every trip, go to DTD the first day and pick out an ornament for each of us to commemorate our trip and have it personalized. I have not done this is a couple of years because of my aversion to the mess at Disney Springs. I do not like the construction, parking, crowds, and though it is beautiful, the overall ambiance of DS. I liked the little shops; not the boutique feel it has now.
 
We probably buy way too much at Disney lol but we love everything we get. Every year we buy matching t shirts. I've got a couple pairs of cute pajamas. Every year we also get ornaments, usually with the year on it. This year we plan to get happily ever after ones since we will be on our honeymoon!!
We also got several prints from the art store in DS that we framed, my personal favorite the old DW map, when 20,000 leagues was still there, which I rode as a child and have fond memories of!

Yes.
I don't even look/shop much. I would rather spend my time on attractions. The little shopping I do is usually from home at disney.com with a coupon code; some of the same products with a huge price cut.
 
A Christmas ornament, and a Starbucks or Grumpy mug. We buy Christmas ornaments on almost every vacation we go on, so I don't know why we didn't there. I can't wait for our next trip for both of these.
 
I love my trash can salt shaker, especially since Push has been long gone from the parks. Kind of wish I had done pressed penny collecting for myself instead of just the kids. Wish I had bought more Disney Dollars -- slipped my mind on the last trip and now we all know what happened to those. I already have some (mostly pirates and a few Mickey), but had been wishing to get some newer designs.
 
I thought I wanted the Starbucks tumbler but instead decided I am going to make a tumbler on shutterfly with our pics from memory maker.
