That must have item you buy when at DW

[goofygonewild]

What is that must have item you take home from Disney World and where did you find it? I think most people buy a shirt but I am looking for something that can only be found at Disney World and will be a special reminder of our time there. Maybe something that isn't found in every park that would be cool to have. Our last time there we found a Mickey throw blanket I've never seen before.

I was obsessed with the 2-D glass silhouettes they did in the Kodak station when exiting figment. I have three. Everyone is pretty much the same lol dbf and I with wow and the year listed on them. Don't know why I have three but I had to have them every year lol. That station is gone now though. But it was one of those one of a kind no one will ever have the same one type thing for me.

I have a pair of Mickey Mouse socks. I'm in need of a new pair so when I go next I have to get a few more. I find it's a subtle way to remind me of the magic. I believe I got them on Main Street

Every trip, I get a Christmas ornament, a mug, a shirt, a charm and a pair of earrings.

We are like the pp and we buy Christmas ornaments everytime we go. The kids get to pick one out for themselves, and DW and I pick one out too. It is always special when we decorate the tree then.

We love the car antenna toppers! We just came home with a new Goofy!

My boys like to buy and trade Vinylmations...I know you can buy them online but it's fun to trade while we are there!

[SurferStitch]

I love to get Christmas ornaments as well. I always get several at the Disney Days of Christmas. I also get one in Germany.

I also get any cool new Stitch pins they have. I got the most awesome Octoberfest pin with Stitch in lederhosen, holding brats and a pretzel. I found it at the pin store in Frontierland, and I've never seen it anywhere else.... not even Epcot!

[azcavalier]

All of the above!

Well, not really, but almost!

Between my DW and I, we get:

1. At least one Christmas ornament, usually multiple

2. Kitchenware (trivets, tumblers, etc)

3. New Stitch pins

4. the last few years, I have come home with a Disney watch

5. Any new Jim Shore Castle

6. Have always gotten an antenna topper, but my new car doesn't have an antenna that one would fit on

7. My DW gets jewelry

Always need to come home with a new mug and a picture frame!

every time it's something different, last trip I had to have the mickey ears family decals for your car (me, dh, ds, and cat... with the new addition to the family i am going to have to find a girl on online )

and the year before that it was the monorail shirt that you could only find at monorail resorts that has the spanish words for 'please stay inside the cart, keep hands and feet... yada yada' (i love speaking spanish when i can)

dh always has his eye on a particular shirt every year. last trip he tried to find a good ak shirt that had stuff about the actual park on it like his epcot one, but he could not find a single shirt he liked. they all had like a lion on it, and a small print of the words ak on it, etc. trip before that he got a figment shirt that he loves.

i wish they had more variety of shirts for attractions, if i ever find a good CoP shirt for him i will get it in a heartbeat.

oh yeah and i usually get an ornament, although i don't think i did last time.

Each trip I get a christmas ornament from DTD for our tree that is decorated with nothing but disney ornaments from over the years. I also always have to get a hoodie with the year that I'm there on it.

[Jezzup]

On our last visit I bought a Jiminy Crickett laser cube from Arribas Brothers at DTD. Some of them can get pricey but there is a good selection for under $50. They look great under a light on my "Disney shelf" so I'm planning to buy one each trip.

[tjstrike]

We each get a ride shirt and then we usually buy the special that they have at the worl of Disney store in DTD. It's usually a throw or one year it was Disney coins for each park with a fireworks photo. We've also bought several pooh prints from the art store in DTD.

First off, I love this post!!

Secondly, here is our shopping list-

Me -- a coffee mug (I love the tableware I see online from Mary Blair!!) and a beach towel. Last trip we bought 3- one from Splash Mountain, one of Main Street with characters and one from the Poly.

Husband-- a hat from MK or DTD. He loves the ones he has and wants another one. The first was from AdventureLand-- semi safari like.

Girls- jewelry.

Food- Dole Whips and funnel cakes from Sleepy Hollow

[AdventurerKim]

I always buy pins for whatever special event or holiday or whatever is going on. You can never have too many pins!

I also get whatever antenna topper(s) is new.

[Mousemates]

ornaments and a resort pin (if we've not stayed at that particular resort yet)...I used to get a resort specific hat most trips, but since its all pretty much just the generic "disney park" stuff now, I wear my old ones when we are there.

[disneykid99]

Thank you for this great post. We usually go for the usual ornaments our tree started getting really full. We started looking for items for other holidays and found some fun Halloween stuff. I also have to get Lalia everytime and kids have gotten into Vinalmantions (sp). This year we will look for so items for our pets. I love the leash idea - something we will use everyday.

Used to buy the different anntenna toppers for the car until I got a new car with a short, stubby anntenna and they no longer fit. But I liked all the different kinds and they are inexpensive. I think a couple were stolen from my car.
