Whats your fave Disney souvenir?

[zen1]

I love everything that I have gotten on my trips to Disney World! But when I went this Sept. 2005, I bought the Big Fig of Lilo and I just love her~ she is one of my most fav. things that I have gotten so far. I would also say all of my Lilo & Stitch pins, Stitch snowgoble, the picture frames, t-shirts, my Lilo charm, my Mickey Ears( Black and Gold ones), the pictures I have bought and have taken, just to name a few! LOL

All I can say is that they did it for me. They did the MK poster no questions asked in 1997. However, I tried last year to get the Disney villans poster signed and they said they couldnt do it. So, I thought it wouldnt hurt to try again this year thinking that a different cm may do it. And they did. I was sure to write WDW a letter when I got home thanking the cm's at MGM guest relations. Once in a blue moon, they may do it, but I'm sure if they got hundreds of requests a day or week,then they would have to say no.I am hoping I can do something similar with EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. what, I dont know.

I love that necklace!

My favorites are:

Pins - I got a pin album that I pin them into, and I love them. I love the artwork that goes into them, and now I am hooked on the giant pins.

Pens- I love to use pens that are WDW, the fancier the better.

Cell phone charm- I have one from Tokyo Disneyland and I enjoy it everytime I pick up my phone. oh! and the little charms with the claw clasp (the make your own jewelry charms) that you can put anywhere, on your luggage, your purse, your diaper bag...

T-shirts - I don't wear them out of the house, (that's just me) but I love sleeping in WDW t-shirts. Something really cozy about them!

Music - I adore Disney music, and so does my son!

Christmas ornaments- They will personalize them for you at the DTD Christmas store...so cute! Only problem is that now I have too many to put on the tree...

Scrapbooking items from the DTD scrapbook store. I love the Mickey ear sissors!

Mickey watches - right now they have Christmas watches for only 10.00 when you make a purchase of 60 or more. Of course I had to get Tinkerbell...

Framed Lithographs- okay, more of a pain because you have to ship it, but it is SO cute in my DS's room...

I need more money! Yikes, it looks like I'm a bit of a shop-o-holic. Yep, I am.

Pictures, Magnets, and Trading Pins. Well, I can't forget about the memories. I can tell you about trips that I took 20 years ago to the World. I can't say that about any other place really. Mickey gives such a magical feeling that you just don't want to forget.

My favorite souvenier was the gigantic sombrero I bought in the Mexican pavillion at World Showcase...I wear it every day.

Just kidding! (Does anyone actually buy those???)

The only souveniers I have from my last trip are a couple of pressed pennies and my ticket. I keep my ticket in my wallet...and everytime I see it it makes me smile.

The pen has a chain at the end with a tiny Eeyore dressed as a butterfly on the end of the chain. Really cute. I have both souvenirs at work. They make me smile and bring back memories of our wonderful trip. Which makes the work day slightly better.

I have the same pen, but with Minnie, I love it and use it everday (for over a year now). I have gotten so many people compliment me on and want to know where I got it at.

I also love my pressed pennies. I have quite a collection, now.

and an oddball sovenier, the fastpass badge holder with the blue mickey head. i used it for my secirity key holder at work and loved it (until some kid with sticky fingers stole it on halloween last year when they were trick or treating there). I can't wait to get a new one this year.

 

[Rella Bella]

I love them all!!! But my favorite???
Hummm... Mug, T-shirts, sweatshirt, photo album???
MY ANTENA TOPPER!!

My sons without a doubt... his sword collection! He brings home a 'real' sword every time we go! One from the China Pavillion and the rest from the Castle gift shop! They are all hung on the wall in his room... MAJOR prized possetions!

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

My favorite souvenir: The scrapbooks that I put together from all of our pics.
each year (I buy all supplies during our annual May trip. Then it
takes me about 2 weeks to complete the scrapbook.

2 WEEKS!!!??????? you are my idol

I am still working on last years albums from sept (4 down, 1 to go), one for each park and one for hotel/dtd/charctors/other things around the world, etc. I swear i will finish by the time we go this year.

I loved the gift shops & had a hard time deciding, so I made sure to get some things with 2005 to commemorate the year we went..

ON a side note, remember the Disney commercial a few years back, with the parents in an elevator, 2 kids, one in a stroller? The little boy says something like, "She's their souvenier from Disney"

I love that commercial!

hi
heard recenly that they had been discontinued. that they were selling the last of the stock. they were always difficult to get, sold out immediately in the parks. managed to get mine last yeat at contemporary resort gift shop. other wise there is always good old e-bay. they are addictive you can't help but press the thing when you walk past

 

[Momerath]

My favorite is the food I bring home...Mickey coconut patties, Mickey rice crispy treats, character chocolate coins, helps strech out the magic a few extra days after the trip is over! I also love drinking diet coke out of my refillable mugs. Next time I'll have to get some Disney pens to use at work...a good suggestion from another DISer.

You can find these in the various gift shops. I bought one a few weeks ago at the Wilderness Lodge gift shop the Mercantile. It says "Please stand clear of the doors" and then you push again and it says"por favor mantanganse alejedo de las puertas" ( or something to that affect since I dont speak spanish) It was only a few dollars and I have it at home on my closet door.

This would make a great stocking stuffer for my dd! She's in her 1st year of Spanish and she says the Spanish monorail speil all the time. She'd love this in her school locker! I want to quietly buy this for her when we go next, but I'm not planning on being at WL in Oct., though we may stop by there to see the Chrstmas decorations in Dec. What other shops did you see it in?

My list of fave souvenirs... I don't have alot of Disney Stuff sitting around the house, I tend to buy the things I use everyday. Cologne from Canada, Mickey wine glasses, resort mugs. I love the Mickey Tea Kettle I bought in July, it sounds like a harmonica...it makes me happy! And my park music CDs which are almost constantly playing in my car!

I couldn't find the monorail magnet in Aug. or April this year. I thought maybe they had been discontinued. Apparently, they just sell out really fast. Maybe I'll find one this Dec.

I guess I have really bad luck with souvenirs. We bought 6 (one for each of us) refillable mugs at ASMu, but only ever used 4 of them. Got home, and now since we gave some away and lost 2, I use one of the "new" ones. It leaks. The lid apparently allows coffee to seep through. I found out the first day I used it, in my brand new WHITE student nurse uniform on the way to clinicals.

I got a necklace for myself (not a pricey one) and it broke about 2 weeks later. So I fixed it. It broke in another spot within the week. Told you, BAD luck with WDW souvenirs!

Then, DS picked, for his souvenir, the die-cast monorail one visit. It broke (2 cars broke apart and cannot be put back together). The next trip, he was torn between the EPCOT ball play set and the Tree of Life playset. He got the Tree of Life one. I won't go into details, but several parts of it are broken already. (Both of these trips were in the past 6 mos). I am sad for him, especially about the monorail which lasted less than a week. BTW, my kids VERY rarely break toys. Can count on one hand how many toys have broken in our house (4 kids, 12 and under now). We just seem to not do so well with WDW toys!

Worst part is, all DS wants for Xmas is the Epcot ball playset. I am doing an adults trip with stepmom right before Xmas and want to get that for him. But it's a lot of money to end up the same way as the tree of life one! Anyone have it? Did it hold up?

My favorite thing to buy is a can of Mickey coffee. The lid cracked ( True, mind you) but now I still keep refilling it with whatever coffee I buy that month from my grocery store. That way, when I make coffee in the morning, I only see the WDW coffee can. Makes me happy. Cracked lid and all.

We got Xmas tree ornaments. Since every year I let each kid pick an ornament, we decded to do it early...at DTD. Can't wait to put up the tree this year! Always wanted a Mickey toaster, but the one online says it is made with something known to cause cancer and birth defects. Anyone know if that is different from other toasters, or did I just never notice that toasters are cancer-causing?

My antenna toppers - each trip I pick up 1 or 2 more for different seasons!!

 

[ainmama2001]

I got a crystal mickey head ring, necklace and earrings. I love them. I also like the CD's. Listening to the theme park music eases the pain when I'm home.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

Cant pick just one-Dh and I always get matching T shirts! Its like a souvenir tradition!

 

[andijean]

I don't know the technical name for these. But on Main Street MK they have a little cart where the ladies do a black silhouette cut-out. I had one done of each of the boys last visit and it will be something I treasure always. Also, love the (and I think the kids like it too) are the Mr. Potato Head parts. Can't wait to get some more this coming trip. I also want to get a dated ornament to celebrate our xmas trip.

My kids love their character backpacks. My son has a stitch backpack and my daughter has minnie mouse.

I don't know if anyone buys them or not. But plenty of people(including my dh) have there picture taken in them. Though the goofy hat was our fave.
