What souvenirs do you like to purchase?

[Farro]

We never really buy much. I always buy a stuffed animal for myself (tradition) and maybe one of us gets a t-shirt.

Last time we got a nice Haunted Mansion print that we have framed hanging in our hallway and I got a great Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse stuffed animal. He's grey/black/white, I love it!

This time I want to buy a Pandora charm (or two), get a Starbucks you are here mug from each park, a (small) stuffed animal and maybe something for our children (two cats ). No clothing.

What do you like to buy?

Oh, and a Zero refillable popcorn bucket! (Nightmare Before Christmas)

Refrigerator magnets and shot glasses.

Take only photos, leave only footprints.

I like t-shirts and wall-decor mostly. I will get postcards at Wonderground Gallery and frame them for an inexpensive piece of decor. I don't spend a whole lot on souvenirs usually. I do love my Nautilus tiki vessel from trader Sam's though. Worth it!

We are also doing Memory Maker for the first time this year. Looking forward to all those photos. Tired of having to take selfies of the two of us! Although family is joining us later in the trip - but that will just make the Memory Maker more useful.

When all 5 of us have arrived, I definitely want to buy one of those huge drinks from Trader Sam's and take a group picture! We will see who gets to keep the Uh-Oa Bowl

I always end up buying drinks that come with souvenir cups (seriously, I have SO MANY cups). I've also recently started buying Disney wine glasses. And I always end up with a t-shirt.

Usually a magnet and a t-shirt or hoodie. This year, I plan on getting DH liquored up so I can have the Trader Sam Mugs.

Oh, wine glasses, that's an idea.

Used to get a mug (love them and really use them) but have way too many now, so seldom buy anything anymore. Plus, don't like very many that they have come out with the last 5-10 years.

We like to buy beer and wine glasses and our Daughter loves the little characters that come in sets of six or so from each movie or show. My wife really wants Epcot to come out with the same style wine glass for each country so we could collect them all but so far there are only a few countries that have them and they don't really look like any sort of a set.

Take only photos, leave only footprints.

We have been throwing around the idea of buying a giclee "painting" for the past few years but we just cant justify paying near $1000 for basically a print that is touched up with a few brush strokes so we took a nice picture of each of the centerpieces of each park at night, had them blown up to 18x12 inch photos and then framed each of them in a nice black matching frame and hung them all side by side in our dining room. They are pieces of art that we created ourselves and they look great hanging next to each other. I am thinking we paid somewhere between $100 and $150 for the four prints and the frames with uv glass so it was less expensive and pictures that only we have.

There are some shadows on the glass in the picture below but you can get the idea.

We always get the memory maker, a small stuffed animal for our collection and always buy a magnet. We usually buy a bunch of t-shirts and a big beach towel, which is always useful and a fun souvenir.

Oh, I forgot, we usually get a cute picture frame or two...can't help ourselves

 

[DaisyJ]

Not much anymore. Maybe a Christmas ornament and a magnet. That's about it. Merchandise quality has declined rapidly the last 7-8 years.

 

[10MoreMinutes]

Oh, wine glasses, that's an idea.

I have a Beauty and the Beast one that I bought from World of Disney last May and a Haunted Mansion one that I bought from Memento Mori in January. Looking forward to a new one in November!

 

[Amelia :)]

Everything. Just everything.

I like collecting pins. I try to find some of the more limited ones. I'll get a shirt/sweatshirt depending on what is available. DGF loves loves loves the Haunted Mansion, so we got one of the prints. She collects the tsum tsums as well... not so much now that they've been overdone, but she does have the whole HM set.

 

[Oneanne]

If I get anything at all, for myself or as a gift, I lean towards useful... an antenna ball (can't find my car without it), a sweatshirt or possibly a hat. I do have a string backpack that I sue to lug my laptop around in.

Personally, I like the idea of getting things you can truly only get in the park. The fact that you can order most "souvenirs" online kind of bums me out. It makes it less unique and less "in-the-moment". So I'm hoping to get some souvenir mugs and maybe a popcorn bucket.

 

[Planogirl]

I like to get basic mugs with fun pictures. I'm a tea drinker so I use them a lot.

I also like to pick up stuffed animals occasionally. My latest Disney critter is Oswald. I used to buy t-shirts but the quality is just awful now.
