What's your "Go To" Souvenir?

I like the pins, but I do wish the backs stayed on better.

If you don't trade, you can buy the lock backs for pins. That's what I use on my backpack. They work really well.

I miss the buttons. Now its all about pins. The buttons were awesome, you could get one from every land they were huge and honestly cheap.

Coffee mugs and t-shirts mostly for us. Here are some coffee mugs I just pulled out of the cabinet. Probably twice this many packed away somewhere.

Like you collection of mugs. We always try to buy a sketch of one of the Disney characters. Frame them and have them on the walls in the house.

I also get my hair wrapped at Animal Kingdom. I save those, and have been collecting those for a while now. They are kind of like my Disney graduation tassels.

Anybody remember these? Unfortunately I only have these two.

Where do you get the lock backs?

Since we can go only every 10 years we like to get matching T-shirts with the year on it.

Park soundtracks but they seem to be rare now..

Where do you get the lock backs?

Last time, we got lock backs at Disney Pin Traders. They also sell regular backs, but I think you can find these just about any where in Disney where they sell a bunch of pins.

Pins. Used to get a few Vinylmation until they changed the mold. Books. Soundtracks. One "pricey" item unique to that particular trip -- a Pandora charm, small piece of art, a watch, glassware. And always try to hunt down something with a favorite character.

Resort maps, WDW pens, resort refillable mugs, Magic Bands-basically everything that comes with our trip or is free to take in our room. I do usually buy at least one thing in the parks-I've gotten a couple of t-shirts, and last year at Memento Mori I bought a book about the history of each Haunted Mansion ride. I could see myself starting a tradition of buying a Disney/WDW history book every time I visit.

We always get a magnet from the resort we are staying at!

Dated postcard, key chain, and an Alex & Ani bracelet from each trip.

I always try to get a pin with the year on it, and the last few times I've been I've gotten sketches from the Art of Disney stores.

The past trip or two I got a mug, but I always tend to have fun with pin trading. (I especially like it at Wilderness Lodge because it's a laid back environment and I've gotten some great pins there. A couple of them had broken pins/backs on them - which is a rule they clearly state should not happen - but it doesn't bother me since those backs can be so easily replaced). I enjoy so many Disney souvenirs, but they're so overpriced that usually I just have fun browsing the shops. Even when I don't buy anything I LOVE looking through the shops.

Just came home from our trip with many items again. A variety of pins, mugs, figurines, Banshees, and much more. So glad I had a lot of gift cards and cash set aside to splurge on myself. This was the one thing I just had to have when I saw it:

A very outstanding item found in the shop on Main Street that is now sitting in a prominent place in my living room. Looks fantastic lit up in the dark.

I always momentarily want to get the cute plush animals of characters like Bambi, Dumbo, Marie, and the Pooh characters, but I have no idea what I'd do with one if I actually got it.

I really love my stuffed Safari Tigger I got in 2012.
