I've purchased a couple of packages of the Mickey brand k-cups and left them by the coffee machine for my team before. I have also done the pens. (I did the post-it notes, but found they were really bad quality - they didn't stick and were generally too busy or too dark for writing to show up against them.) Sometimes you can find multi-packs of magnets that can be broken apart, too.

You may find near the registers in various shops a bin full of pewter trinkets marked with WDW features and an inspirational word. These generally cost in the $5 range, IIRC.

I like to take the complimentary WDW coasters made of cheap paper that they put in your hotel room. It's a nice, "free" momento. But if you can do the pennies, do it. They will be more unique.

Great idea! If you go the penny route, stop by your bank and see if you can get a roll of pennies that has not been circulated!

That way, they are nice and shiny!

Years ago it was a little piece of Disney Magic that any pennies received in change were shiny and new.
But I guess "no one" uses cash any more.......

They will be, but many collectors actually prefer to use the older pennies. IIRC the newer pennies are only copper coated with a zinc inner, while the old ones are solid copper. So the newer pennies may streak when if the zinc comes through or mixes with the copper.

You want pre-1982 pennies. That’s the year they switched. Technically you can use 1982 pennies. The copper ones weigh more than the zinc ones. Not by much, so we just like to collect the pre-82 pennies for the machines.
