On our first trip (early nursing school graduation), DH bought a metal, enameled Minne Mouse nurse figurine accented with Swarovski crystals. He hid it from me until the actual graduation ceremony. Brought the magic back a few months later.
This year we are splurging on concierge (club) level at BWI. Wondering how it will be?

Aside from the actual cost of the trip, it is usually PHOTOS. We will be doing a professional photo shoot at the Poly this visit. Also, we are doing the Pirates and Pals Voyage. Would have had a bit more $ to spend without these two expenses.
It tends to be more of an "experience" for us than buying things. Not much into souvenirs.

After reading this I realize that we spent quite a bit on photos one trip. This was before the pre-purchase CD was available, or at least, before I knew about it. Did the pre-purchase last trip and it saved us loads!

Ouch....You know just the question to hurt a guy
Our biggest splurg was 3 years in January, I bought leather coats for the whole family. We are still wearing them and think of WDW each time we put them on. I had kind of forgot how much we spent until your question and now I am remembering that VERY LARGE purchase all over again. Thanks!!! LOL

In about a 5 minute spending spree a few years ago I bought over $1500.00 worth of KA
In about a 5 minute spending spree a few years ago I bought over $1500.00 worth of KATHRINE BAUMANN collectibles at the World of Disney Store, they are tiny Swarovski Crystal encrusted containers (minaudieres) one is a pill box with a Minnie mouse design, is a compact also with the minnie design and (these I bought for my mom and sister) and for myself a business card holder with Mickey Mouse design, the three pieces together came to $1500 which is not bad at all for such beautiful hand made creations by a famous jewellery designer.

My biggest splurge was treating ourselves to a stay at Poly. We usually stay at values and every once in a while a moderate.
The most expensive single item I've ever bought was a snowglobe. I usually just spread my spending around on lots of smaller purchases.
At least 14 trips before 1988

LOL! Sorry!

Other than the trip itself the biggest splurge I ever spent at Disney World was when I allowed myself to purchase both a Disney World sweatshirt and a scarf all in one night.
I'm young and I don't have a lot of money so $50 was a lot for me, it was even more to me back then haha.
I couldn't decide between the two things so I just got them both and I am so glad that I did because I use them both all the time.
The scarf is really nice to it's a black and grey scarf, it is supposed to be a copy cat of a Coach scarf and instead of C's it has Mickey Mouse shapes. It's so soft!

Usually we don't buy too much of anything; t-shirt here, christmas ornament there, maybe a new beach/pool towel or something. But a few years ago we went during Easter and there was a cold front that came thru. Jackets and swearshirts were a premium at that time. Just so happened that that was the same year my sunglasses broke so I bought new oakley's and maui jims in the same purchase. Other than that, DDP is usually our splurge.

Chef's table at V&A for my mom and family for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. Big expense, but she loved it (and so did we!).

Back in the day (early 90s) I used to buy OAKley sunglasses in tomorrow land. Big bucks for a highschooler.

I bought a RED fleece lined hooded jacket 6 yrs ago at the CR gift store. It has a big Mickey Mouse on the back, his face and shoes are in silver glitter and it has "Walt Disney World" printed above that. I think it was $65.00. I never blinked an eye-lash, I HAD to have it. And I STILL LOVE THAT JACKET!!!

Being @ WDW!! Our splurge is the trip itself. WE spend a little extra to get the better view because we enjoy our "balcony time" more as we get older. This year, we'll be doing the Keys tour and maybe a litle parasailing. Other than the standard scrapbookng supplies, t-shirts, and dated prints and pins, my DH usually gets a big character statue from The Art of Disney.
