The framed replica poster of the original Haunted Mansion attraction poster I bought at the store in the American Pavillion at Epcot. This was in 1999 or 2000.

Back in the 70's (of course I was a baby), I bought a bean bag stuffed Mickey and Donald at the shop in the Contemporary. During the 25th B'day celebration, there was a tribute to the MK set up on Main Street, and in a showcase they had the Mickey and Donald that I bought. These also had price tags on them which I think were hand written, and were well over $150 each.
Last week I found a great souvenir for only $1.95 at the shop at POFQ. It is a very colorful growth chart with characters on it. At certain inches, it states what a child is tall enough to ride now. Such as at 35", it says you can ride Goofys Barnstormer, at 38" you can ride Kali River Rapids, etc.. My grandson is 38" and we are taking him in Jan.. Now I can hope he grows 2 more inches by then so he can ride Soarin. By the way, I bought 6 of these so I can give some as gifts too.

Probably the ring (two Mickey heads) I bought at CSR and used to propose to my fiancee!
Other than that, every year I purchase a different small Mickey. The last trip I actually bought two, one Christmas Mickey (hard to find when I went in early Dec., I kept checking every store until we found him on our last day hidden on the non-traffic side of a cart between TSM and Backlot), and an "I Love You" Mickey since it was the trip we got engaged. From other trips; Jedi, MMC, Diving, RnRC, 2000, Band and Test Track.

Favorite Souv and a Magical Tip for the Younger Ones!
Here's a quick one:
Each year I purchase a Christmas Ornament for our family tree. Then when we set-up our Christmas Tree, we can relive the "magic" from the vacations. Nice way to bring back the memories!
(By the way, these are great gifts at Christmas for the relatives to-now the relatives at Christmas Dinner, cant wait to see what ornament they have for themselves) Pass the Magic around!
Quick Tip on Souv. for Young Ones
Due the search for Crushed Pennies,they can make themselves nice little collection from each land in Mk, resorts, Parks etc. Nice way to keep them occupies at Epcot Lands to-My son loves to search out for the machine and purchase his penny.
Mom even went on a solo trip to MK on our last day, to get the missed Crushed Penny at Liberty Square-while the kids swam with dad-
Have a good one!

I found a few years ago, a little Spaceship Earth and it holds a photo and so I looked in the other parks and found a Tree of Life in AK, a Castle in MK and for HS it was a Mickey that will hold 4 photos. Their about 5" tall and I keep them in my curio cupboard with each one holding a photo taken in that particular park.

have they stopped theming the refillable mugs to the resort that you buy them from? i'm sure i got some last summer from carribean beach that had "carribean beach" printed on, but i could be mistaken...

I get a different small plush Mickey every time we go and we get pins that reflect our trip (hotel, year, park, reason for visit such as honeymoon etc).
But my best souvenirs have to be the CDs I got of the music for Wishes, Spectro & F!. I love listening to them and it means that whenever I go, I can sing along to my hearts content!
I love those CDs!

If you got married at Disney was it the his and her watches? We got them when we got married in March. They are collector items and will not be sold to the public, just given as gifts to the Disney brides and grooms.

I have a little Pirates of the Caribbean snowglobe with Mickey, Donald and Goofy all dressed as pirates. They're leaning over a treasure chest and it even has a switch on the bottom to turn on a light in the globe. I've never seen anything since that's like it, and it's really nice for only having been $20 - I've seen other snowglobes of the same size for $35-$40.
I have DW souvenirs that are a lot cooler or more impressive, but this one is sentimental because it's from an impromptu MK trip from before my husband and I were married. When we were dating, we took a trip to Orlando with my mom right after college let out in May '05. We were staying in my grandma's condo in Winter Park, and Ray and I were driving around one morning when we both suddenly thought (at the exact same time) "let's go to Disney!". It was completely unplanned and we weren't even sure we had enough money on us to pay for tickets and parking! But I hadn't been there since I was 9 years old, and Ray had never been to Disneyworld (only Disneyland a few times), so we threw caution to the wind and went. It's one of the best memories of my life and some of my favorite pictures of Ray and I are from that day (and neither of us had a camera on us because we were planning on going to the movie theater instead of the MK, so we had to pony up for a theme-park priced disposable camera - yikes!)
...and we've made a DW trip every year since we've been married! :animwink:
