What's your "Go To" Souvenir?

[KCheatle]

We didn't intend for this to become "a thing," but on our first trip together to WDW, my DH and I bought our first "couples" coffee mugs (I got Minnie, he got Mickey). Now, every time we go on a Disney-related trip (WDW, Disney Cruise, and DL) we both gravitate towards the coffee mugs in the shops to see which ones will become our newest pair And, we take it kind of seriously It takes us several days to narrow down our top contenders until we chose the ultimate 2

What is the Disney souvenir you can't go home without?

Pin with the year. If we go during Halloween or Christmas we get a custom dated pin for those too. We have one from every trip in a fancy case on the wall. Actually, we get one from everyplace we visit (that has them).

Sometimes even just major events. Like every year we go to the ren festival.

We have also picked up custom etched drinking glasses on most of our trips.

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.

I'll buy the occasional tshirt or golf shirt if it's one I like and they have it in my size. But about the only thing I really need to get is a smushed penny.

Pins and snow globes (the cheaper plastic ones)

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Some kind of shirt from wherever I'm staying (sweatshirt, golf shirt, or t-shirt depending on the weather) and a photo strip from the Imagination pavilion.

Random aside - I love your avatar. It almost looks like Bogie's telling the Redhead, "We'll always have the old auction. Here's looking at you, Red."

Thank you! The two pics on the bottom of my avatar are ones I took myself

Me = coffee mug & neck tie (yes I still wear them)
DW = Christmas decoration & Tee-Shirt.

Photos... Insane. Amounts. Of. Photos.

Seriously; this last seven-day trip (five in the parks) I took 1,952 photos.

...and T-shirts. Especially event-related like F&GF or the year (e.g. "WDW 2018!").

Definitely mugs

 

[KBLovedDisney]

And you inspired me to do this!

 

[GoofZ]

Pins, pins, and eventually more pins. As well as AP shirts, on a smaller scale.

Oh and Character Gummies! I can't leave Disney without grabbing a couple of bags of these.

We try to find a magnet with the year on it and we have them on the side of our fridge. It's nice to be able to stand there and reminisce about the different trips just by looking at the magnets.

Anything random & Unique and t-shirts using both sides to show where I was...

Pins and snow globes (the cheaper plastic ones)

Some of my pins I've collected. I don't trade, just collect and wear on my bag.

And my snow globe. Only got one so far, but it will become a tradition.

 

[crxbrett]

Any park soundtrack albums, any books pertaining to the parks, the guide maps and schedules, coffee mugs, beach towels and pins.

 

[Willmark]

Alcohol. In the bottle (temporarily).

 

[EmmieSue]

I always pick up a couple things for my collections. Something giraffe related and then one of the Disney stuffed animals wrapped in baby blankets.

Vinylmation...I think I am the only one who still buys them. I miss the glory days!
