funny keepsakes or non traditional souvenirs

[chipndale09]

Does anyelse keep their old key to world cards?? I am starting my own trading card collection:ROFLOL:

Wondering what else people keep as non traditional souvenirs from past disney trips, napkins , stationary..that kind of stuff

Definitely...I keep my resort key cards from each trip.

I also have saved a few drink stirrers from the lounge at the top of Bay Lake Tower (they use the same ones as the Contemporary). I've also got two Monorail Co-Pilot cards from pre-2009 trips (second of which I received when riding in the Pilot's cab of Monorail Pink). There's also the spotty collection I have of Fastpasses I ended up not using.

Most definitely! We take a few napkins and stuff them in the pockets of our stroller. Just the other day we were walking through the mall and needed a napkin... BOOM! Disney Napkin!

For some strange reason, I love bringing home 1 or 2 of those plain White or Black pens. You know the ones I'm talking about, they just say "Walt Disney Resorts" on the side. I have about 7 at my desk at work and it's what i use to write with everyday. I'll grab a few more this upcoming trip. White ones were in my room, I found a black one at Tony's while signing for my check last trip

yup, i also have a bunch of those pens..i think they want you to take them. Everytime you sign a meal bill or ask for a correction, they bring back another pen. One point this year, we had a confusion on our bill due to the fact we were a multiple party, with different dining plans..anyways at one point there must have been at least 4 pens on our table

We always bring home the paper/cardboard coasters from old key west.

every time, i keep the maps of the theme parks. when i say every time, i mean literally every single time i go i keep the map. my parents think they throw the map we get away, but i always get an extra one because i know they do. i'm pretty sure i have piles and piles of WDW maps :ROFLOL:

If Disney ever puts a logo on the Mission: Space barf bags, that will be a funny keepsake and definitely non-traditional.

All my used up gift cards! Not sure why but i keep them...I mean they do have Disney characters on them! LOL

I just found an accidental stash of Disney napkins in a rarely used storage bin the back of our SUV. Our last trip was in May of '11!

We have all the typical unused fast passes, speedway driver and monorail co-pilot cards, pressed pennies, balls from the Pixar/ Toy story parade and mickey soaps from the hotel.

The non-traditional stuff has been driven by my now three year old. He had some big waxy leaves fall on him while we were eating somewhere in EPCOT. Can't remember where exactly, but he wanted to keep the leaves so we did and they sit atop his highboy dresser in his room. We also have a couple of spare food service paper plates that we had asked for to cut up his food and share with that were all nested together. We jokingly have them displayed in the china shelf built-ins in our house since we don't have any china.

Probably the weirdest thing is a small blue and yellow battery operated fan attached to a mini squirt gun that is unbranded and looks like its from the dollar bin at Walgreens. He found it on the ground atop the Canada pavilion near the fence that overlooks the falls. We sat there for awhile to see if someone came back for it, but no one did in the 15 mins or so we were there. We were going to take it to guest services but he took to it so fast it would've created a nightmare for us the rest of the trip so we jguiltily took it home. Now every time we get out the kiddie pool or it gets really hot out he wants the 'Dinny fan'! We've always felt a bit weird taking it home, and I apologize if it was your beloved fan, but its probably my little guys favorite souvenir right now.

Oh yes ... I grabbed a barf bag once to take home. My son couldn't understand why I would want one :shrug: but I said "It's from Mission Space, one day it will be passed on to you with all the rest of my Disney memorabilia. " :lookaroun He doesn't always appreciate my logic.

And I also keep my Key to the World cards which are displayed in my Disney room with everything else.

My Pamphlet of brochures that also includes my itinerary & reservations for that year. It also has Receipts where I ate at, Plus Napkins and Fastpass tickets I collected..One thing I would Loooove to get my hands on are a pair of misplaced or broken 3d glasses from the park.

We put all of these are in Disney scrapbook: KTTW cards, napkins, paper coasters from the resort room, Mickey head confetti from dinner at Tony's, paperwork from the hotel, our piece of the "golden ticket" to get into Fantasmic

That must be conversation starter for those non-disney people, "look honey, they have paper plates in their china cabinet.."
