My favorite "souvenirs" that I have are the amazing memories of being there with my family. But as far as material souvenirs go, my favorite at the moment is something simple. A Gaston mug from Gaston's Tavern that LeFou's brew came in. Just a simple plastic mug, but I enjoy all the memories and the feeling of being there every time I use it!

For me it is my annual Wrist Watch that I buy. I currently have 12 and still need another one. On Average I spend on a watch up to $250 dollars on it and buy nothing else except one T-Shirt. also not to mention I do wear all 12 and switch off all the time. It does get a little expensive every now and then when the batteries needs to be replaced. The watch batteries die off in groups. Don't ask me why but I have this thing with Disney Wrist Watches.

This may seem slightly corny, but my Mickey Mouse doll.
I take him almost everywhere I go, so he's seen a lot of stuff! Niagara Falls, California, other states out in that area, Florida (of course), etc. He's my little travel buddie! 
I love that little guy.

Haha when you said you take him everywhere you go, I was thinking "to the bank, to the store, ....to the bathroom...".
I was a bit concerned until you named off some vacation spots. I almost thought you a nutter!

So I'm not the only one who buys a watch almost every trip. I found a little pawn/jewelry shop that will replace a battery for $5. Every time I take a watch in they tell me to pull the stem and stop the watch until I'm ready to wear it, save the battery.
I also make sure I buy some kind of jewelry so everyday I have a little piece of WDW with me.

I had the lady at Wal Mart, of all places, show me how to change batteries in all kinds of watches. I now save a ton replacing the batteries myself.

Hey man, don't discount Walmart! I worked there for 3 years in electronics and I was very knowledgeable in a lot of things! I showed customers how to do a lot of things.

Haha! Oh no, I didn't mean everywhere. No, when I have to do short communal trips, and ones to the bathroom, he stays on my bed.Haha when you said you take him everywhere you go, I was thinking "to the bank, to the store, ....to the bathroom...".

Does anyone know when they usually have the Halloween shirts/merchandise out? Also is there any place that sells swimming trunks there? Thanks.

I recently Picked this up because of Curiosity..It's called DisneyVision.
What is it you may ask...Well, It's a Mini Zoetrope..You put the small rubbery figure on the end of the stick, Turn it on and adjust the strobe light and speed of the character shaking like a rag doll until it starts making a fluid movement...It comes with 6 characters Mickey, Nemo, Kermit, Tink, Woody & Hitchhiking Ghost Zeke. Goes for about $30. It's fun to look at if your a collector of strange knick knacks and this one is pretty strange under the souvenir dept..

It depends on the type of souvenir...
For a traditional type souvenior, we like Mouse Gear at Epcot. I think any place around World Showcase would provide a unique, nontraditional item.
My favorite would be picture frames ...or my daughter's Duffy Bear!! Gotta love Duffy!!

I didn't mean it as an insult. The workers there just don't seem to have lots of time to spend showing a customer how to do something. They are always on the move and have people coming at them from all directions.Hey man, don't discount Walmart!
