What kind of souvenirs do you guys bring home?

[CampbellzSoup]

I usually try to get one stuffed mickey or someone representing the respected park it belongs to. I also try and pick up park exclusive mugs now I really want the star bucks ones!

 

[PHamrick]

I always get a Christmas ornament. This year we are going to get the kids postcards that they can write and mail to themselves (they are 4 and 6--we will help the four year old write hers)

 

[MKMomma]

We run the gamut from clothes to ornaments to Barbies to pens.

A pin for the resort we stayed at. A new coffee mug. Magnet for the refrigerator. That years license plate. Something clothes wise for the kids

Always a watch, new charm for my bracelet (not pandora good old fashioned dangly charm), if I like the new Dooney & Bourke I get one, christmas ornament, various christmas gifts for family.

Coffee mugs.
I use them every day and it's nice to be reminded of a fond memory right after you get up in the Morning.

Where do you get the charms? I love the idea of starting a charm bracelet but I'm not crazy about the Pandora ones.

I too have a thing for watches, the wife and I are crazy enough to have purchased four so far one from each on site stay we have experienced. I will state for the record they are the most reliable watches I have ever owned. My first was purchased in 1999 and still keeps perfect time. We also collect pins and the wife and kids have a thing for hoodies.

PLUSHIES!! I love them all so much I want to buy all the plushies! That one store in downtown disney always overwhelms me.

Last trip I bought all three sizes of Figment plushies, and a super cool print of Figment with Mickey. I'm hoping that the Figment store has new stuff in May.

Probably an ear hat for DS (first trip); hopefully a Star Wars popcorn bucket for DH. We'll let DD and DS each pick something to buy (probably a plush). My brother will buy pins; grandma (and maybe grandpa) will most likely buy t-shirts.

I don't like knick-knacks or clutter at all, and I don't wear clothes with writing on them (or tee shirts in general), so I probably won't buy anything (photographs are my souvenirs).

My next trip I'm going to hopefully pick up a couple park exclusive Pandora charms and that is it. From past trips I have coffee mugs, magnets, and art prints.

 

[Disneylover99]

We always buy a new antenna topper for our car. Right now, I'm driving around with Pirate Mickey.

 

[Angel Ariel]

We get:

1. A Christmas ornament (and personalize it w/the year)
2. 1 pin/person that represents something special to that trip (for example, I got a pin of the Maleficent float in FOF as FOF was a new experience for us on this trip, we got a pin for YC since it's our first stay there and we don't usually stay onsite).
3. Maybe a shirt if there is something we like.
4. Some kind of clothing for DD

My favorite Disney memorabilia right now, though, are the 7" plates at the Disney Store Online that have the artwork from the original attraction posters for Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mtn, Pirates, the Railroad, and the Tiki Room. I'm looking forward to putting those on the wall in our guest room

Dated Photo album, Magnet & Ornament. DSs always get a shirt of their favorite ride for that trip. Coffee mug for myself. Recently I've found I also really like the scarves I've found in the parks - but last few trips were during cooler months... Next trip is in Sept so doubt I'll get one ;-)

They seem to have some good souvenirs for all ages. Last trip my 19 year old bought a Mickey Iphone 6 case and a mouse ears camera strap (He is studying photography in college so uses his camera a lot). // Very tasteful and cool souvenirs IMHO.

 

[librarymom2007]

An ornament. Sometimes a shirt or one year I got a ring.

 

[jennynyholm]

I bought all of our "souvenirs" before hand (watching out for disney plushes, stationary, autograph books, pens, and figurines on clearance). Then each morning the kids woke up to a gift from Mickey in their room. It was so fun, and a huge weight off my back that we could forgo buying anything while in the parks (and the inevitable tears that would result if Im not willing to spend X amount). We will be doing the same thing on our next trip.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Ah an excellent idea!

 

[JennyMP03]

I've kept the same autograph book for all of my trips (just the basic blue autograph book found at many WDW stores). I fold a page over to separate a new "section" for easy access to blank pages, and I write the date of the trip on the folded page. That way I can look back through my book of autographs and know when I received each one. I consider the signatures my souvenir.

I have bought ornaments from DTD, though. If I bought a souvenir in the future, it'd probably be a new ornament.
