My DS is 9 and collects Vinylmations, DD is 6 and collects pins. We stock up on swaps from Ebay, then hit the outlets when we get to Orlando for cheaper ones to swap or keep if nice.
On our recent trip to Disney Paris DD swapped over 20 pins that cost less than a dollar each for some new releases that CM's were wearing.

Our main expense is Ghirardelli's!!

Except for that one time..back in '92, I don't think I have ever had a Table Service meal that was worth the money I spent on it.

Also...those ride photos are way overpriced...but for some reason we still buy them.

Food, tickets, ah heck anything Disney is overpriced, but people still pay for it.

 

[erins3204]

Vinylmation and snacks.

Any stuffed animals and souvenirs...

I spent $70 for 3 Mickey/Minnie mouse years...seen on my avatar, last year when we were at MK for our family pictures. LOL

Looking forward to trying one of these for the first time next month - hang the cost! It's my birthday trip!

Although they are pricey, I don't ever regret buying "home items" - dishes, towels, pillows, frames, etc. I love having those little things around my house to remind me of WDW trips of the past, and there is no other place you can get them cheaper.

What I do regret buying are all of the snacks! Not only do they totally undo all of the walking I've done, but my family never seems to be able to finish them! We have half-eaten tubs of popcorn, extra rice Krispie treats, cotton candy, pop, candy, etc., etc., in the stroller and in the room! It's just money down the toilet for literally junk. But, alas, we are creatures of habit and do the same thing every trip (and actually, do the same thing at home - you should see my pantry! But, it's a lot cheaper at home...)

$8 for a poncho. Never. Again.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to go to the dollar store before I leave on Wednesday. It's August, it's going to rain.

The only thing that I didn't overpay for (and by that I mean that I have reused) is the water bottle spray fan. We bought that in 2010 and we still have it. We take out the batteries when we get home and put it away. I just took it out and put in a fresh pair of batteries and the fan works. So it will be making another trip to Disney. Might be it's third trip, I am not sure right now.

Food. Regardless of the place, time, or item; food.

Popcorn for 3.25 - 3.50 small?? We know why the wagons are at the entrance/exit of MK, the man knew what he was doing.

I remember buying a case for my iPhone on my last trip for $34... I dropped my phone and the case cracked in half.

Cheapest thing I've purchased at DW....DVC.

 

[Wesleyjohn]

It makes me wonder how long has this Diamond encrusted Cinderella Castle has been sitting in Epcot?

Considering the price.....I'd say it's been there since 1982...

Someone has had to of purchased one of these, and someone out there knows how many might be out there. I'd love to know and am curious. I'm betting 1-2 per year go out.

 

[WED99]

It's not overpriced if people buy it.

What a paradox!

 

[Jenna]

Alcohol and Mickey Premium bars (granted I'd spend every last penny I had on them)

$8 for a poncho. Never. Again.

Remember though, the ponchos are guaranteed for life, if it ever tears on a future trip you can exchange it for free
