Favorite thing to waste money on

[GrimGrinningGhost15]

So I have been working a ton and haven't had much time to do ANYTHING!!! But when I got my first big paycheck on friday I thought, oh man its all worth it because it means I get to go to Disney World! Just set aside a nice chunk of money for our trip and I cant wait. My question is what is your favorite thing to spend a little extra money on when you go to Disney?... The fireworks and dessert party? Clothes? Hot air balloon downtown?

Clothes and pins

Food and snacks!

Without a doubt, it's a pen and autograph book. Why? I know I'm a bit crazy for doing so considering that I have 3 books myself but there's always something great about getting a brand new blank autograph book and making new memories with it. Each book to me represents a different trip. And who knows? Maybe there will be that one trip where I decide to go all in and meet as many characters as I can.

Definitely snacks and I like to splurge a little on a shirt or sweatshirt. I never spend that much on a single item of clothing, so it is definitely a splurge.

I like Vinylmation...a total waste for me though b/c I can't even display them at my desk at work. I used to keep some of them out there, but someone kept knocking them down and I noticed a few got scuffed up. We also have issues with our cleaning crew sometimes getting sticky fingers...so i just took them all home. So, now they just sit in my guest bedroom doing nothing. Yet I still buy them b/c they are so darn cute.

Pins and artwork!

... Hehe, well... we love to waste our souvenir money on the flashing lights. Whatever is big that year, we get them. We have light up ears, wands, sticks, necklaces, hats, the whole pizzazz. Yet, we are truly wasting our money, because we never really use them again after the trip. But I still love them while I am there! It's our Disney Tradition

Pins, magnets, purses and food. Also books. I've bought so many dumb books (good and bad, real and flimsy) from Disney. I even bought the one about the windows.

I used to buy a LOT of clothes at WDW, but the quality is so poor these days that I just quit buying them.

There is way too much merchandise to spend the $!!
I always spend money on things that I don't need.
Last time I went to WDW, I bought 4 pens. Do I use them, not really. They are too special to use, I guess.

Stuffed animals. I have a collection of 25 different Dumbos along with other elephants and a wide array of other stuffed animals. Yes I am 18 years old. Yes I still sleep with my first Dumbo.

Probably a signature dining experience and splashing out $250 on a meal for three of us..Thats about £180 in our money. Then there's gratuity on top of that. For a Scotsman,that's a heart stopper,there goes my high blood pressure..

You haven't done the reverse math. That your "dollar" is worth twice ours.

I know. I looked at moving there. My point is, that your idea of expensive isn't quite what ours is.
