What's the oldest Disney souvenier you own???

[Penny2]

I was looking at my keychain the other day and realized it only had two parks on it...MK and Epcot!! This thing has to be 15-20 years old! I still use it every day!

Have pictures from my first trip in 1978 but don't remember bringing anything home but the left over tickets from the ticket books (in my memory box). I do remember staying at a the hotel over on I drive that trip (the one that looks like Capitol Records - round and tall) and there was almost NOTHING between Disney and the hotel but Seaworld (I think) and a few hotels. Boy, things sure have changed!

Do you still have something that you bought from long ago? Share your memories with us!!

I still have my first pair of Mickey Ears from my first trip to WDW in 1982. It still sits on my shelves 21 years later

 

[Slainte]

My first trip was in 1999, so I have nothing very old. We do have DS' Mickey ears from that trip, as well as assorted mugs and shirts.

I have a trash can from the 50s. From WDW I have a backscratcher from the 80s and a candy dish from the 70s.

DW has 7 Anri music boxes from 1971 & 72 that her mom bought for her back then.
They were in storage up until a few years ago until we got a nice curio cabinet from Lancaster, and now they're on display along with our other Disney memorabilia.

All the boxes are in perfect shape and work nicely.

My parents took me to WDW the 2nd day it was opened and one of my clearer memories was seeing two teenage girls, by themselves with Mickey ears on and eating giant lollipops looking like they were having so much fun. I vowed to myself that I would return some day by myself and my best friend. A year after we graduated from high school my bf and I took spring break in Daytona Beach and I made her wear the Mickey ears, by the lollipop and skip down the street with me. She wanted to KILL me! On that trip I bought a china bell with Minnie Mouse on it, I hang it on our Christmas tree and my dd makes me tell her this story every year while we are decorating the tree. Let's see I would have bought that in 1980 so it is 23 years old. Man I'm ancient!!

A mostly used ticket book from DL '76.

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

I have my ears and a souvenir book from my first or second visit as a child not long after it opened. I also have a red/ white and blue metal pin and the Declaration of Independence scroll given to me for being in a parade at Liberty Square. I had to wear a white bonnet(?) and hold a pail best I can remember!
I also have some of the MK and Epcot Guides from 18 years ago, and the used tickets too! Did not cost so much to get in back then.

My oldest souvenir would be a receipt for my Mickey ears I got in 1984. I've lost my ears. My receipt isn't really legible now either. but I still keep it.

 

[one_cat]

I've got a Disneyland poster size park map from 1990 I think.

 

[p-nut]

Minnie and mickey mouse stuffed animals from somewhere in the late 70's ?

 

[minnieandmickey]

My Big Al bear I got in the late 70's. He is missing his red vest and has a hole in his hat but I still love him.

 

[momof2OH]

I think it would have to be a Tinkerbell brass Bell that we got from our first trip in the early 70's.

 

[Meriweather]

Good question..........hmmm.........I think I would need to get in the attic and see if anything is "hidden" in my childhood memory box.
I'm not sure if I have anything from that far back. Not sure what got saved from early trips to DL.

I do have a blue glass candy dish from the Magic Kingdon (WDW) that I got at a garage sale............don't know how old that is.

A Minnie t-shirt from WDW 1975 that now resides in a t-shirt quilt I made that is on my lap now!

 

[manchurianbrownbear]

I have my 2-day pass from my visit to WDW in 1980. I wish I still had the t-shirt I purchased on that trip; picture of Mickey from the front on the front of the shirt and picture of Mickey from the back on the back of the shirt.

Last summer I purchased a full set of WDW View Master reels from the early 70's. Not something I purchased at the park, but very cool!
