Only problem is my parents refuse to let me have it. They have it in an old photo album. I would say "borrow" it and scan it :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I like my Christmas ornaments. It makes decorating the tree fun. I also have an ice cube tray for when I need a little Mickey that day. Great thread! Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 My favorites are similar to those already mentioned. Things that I see every day - kept in the kitchen where I spend most of my time: My spike, which is on a shelf in the hutch. Mickey salt and pepper shakers, purchased at the MK the day my son marched down Main St. USA with his HS marching band. Each time I see them I remember that day and just being there in general, and it makes me happy. Bamboo coasters with Mickey etched into them, purchased at (DTD when it was called that), on one of our many visits. Again, when I set my drink down on one, it makes me smile and think of all of our wonderful memories of times spent at Disney. I also have a lot of Disney Christmas ornaments, and other Disney Christmas decorations. I decorate one tree that is devoted to my Disney ones and Hallmark Keepsake ones an I just love it. Most of the ornaments were bought during a trip and have special meaning. My other favorite keepsakes are my pins, which I do not trade, and are mostly Fort related. I particularly like to get the holiday one each year, even if I don't make it down there. Most recently, my husband got me an Alex and Ani bracelet during our first Disney cruise, and then another Disney one as a Christmas gift. I wear them often and again, they make me smile and bring back so many fond memories. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 oooh I forgot one! My fort coffee mugs. I don't use them much b/c they aren't dishwasher safe and I despise washing dishes, but every once in a while I break one out for a little pick me up and reminder of my favorite place! Seems I have a few too many favorites, can't pick just one! But, these are all accumulated over many years, I typically do not spend much on "merch" while visiting WDW.

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Our rusty spike! We also have bought Disney "year" matching :"T" shirts for many years, but this past Christmas, we were told they no longer make all sizes in each design, so we had to get two different shirts instead of all matching.

Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have 2 that stick out and both were given to me during our trip in 2014. 1. I was lucky enough to get spiked by a bus driver and that was pretty cool. 2. The other is a ring one of the boat captains gave my oldest daughter. It was on the first day and the first boat ride during our fist family visit to Disney and the boat captain called my daughter up. He gave a story that Cinderella saw her get on the boat and asked him to give her this ring. She still talks about that ring the Cinderella gave her and happy she is when she wears it.

Theed31u 10 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 We just got back a couple of days ago from our first trip to the fort and our first trip since we had our 4th and last child. Our favorite souvenir of the fort is a key chain for the motorhome that is in the shape of one and lights up the headlights. We were also looking for a souvenir that we could keep in the motor home that we could collect from places we travel because this was our first trip. We settled on dish towels that have the castle on them. I am planning on doing a trip report on our first trip to the fort, we had what I would consider a lot of Disney magic.

Seals 111 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Usually most of my $ has gone to the visit so I don't spend a lot on souvenirs. But I like things I can see every day to remind me of my visit. I usually get a magnet for the refrigerator with the year on it, one or more of those expandable washcloths (they call them towels but they're small) and my refillable mug. I also have a small collection of pins that reflect something I particularly enjoyed on each visit. Ivy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got a set of Mickey head snack plates, they have a winter/Christmas feel to them but we use them every day. I've gotten a few new looking tees from there, we even found a Mickey head chia pet.

DH has quite the collection of nice WDW polos, t-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets. Last year for his birthday he got a whole gift bag full - all of which I got on eBay for supercheap.
