That must have item you buy when at DW

[texas211]

Yeah, we always have to hit the Christmas store at the Disney Marketplace.

[TikiLounger]

A Christmas ornament, a new antenna topper, and Laila perfume or body lotion from Norway.

[Kairi_7378]

We also are a Christmas ornament family. We usually end up with a pin or two. We don't trade, but like the designs.

[Tink#64]

Like so many others, we always get a personalized Christmas ornament, new antenna toppers, more kitchenware, always a new picture frame & photo album! So original aren't we? Most years at least one or more of us gets a new watch, I now have 6!

I usually think about what new item I want before our trip, I do love my Disney jewelry, usually try to get at least 1 new piece every year, and snow globes, I love my WDW snow globes! But some years I know I'm searching for a ls T, an umbrella, or something that I know I'll use & smile every time with our memories! Oh our dog's retractable leach! That was a great purchase!

[KevMcNJ]

anyone remember Mickeys Stickeys? Simply obscene cinnamin sticky buns they used to sell many years ago at some WDW resaturants

I cant find them any longer

[stephicakes]

Yup - always get an ornament too I always try to find a resort-specific magnet as well although they are getting harder and harder to find! My husband bought me perfume last time in France (Guerlain Idylle) and like someone else mentioned... it always brings us "back" to EPCOT whenever I put it on

[TinkerbellT421]

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot to mention my christmas ornaments! I always have to get two Ornaments and sometimes something else in the Christmas store. It is my all time favorite holiday. Like DBF likes to say about my Christmas decorating "It looks like Santa Claus threw up in here" lol.

[AJ Springfield]

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.

[DVC2004]

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.

Mickey ears...

[Dragongirlx]

We always get a christmas ornament and Mickey earrings - those sets of three with little crystal studs, mickey heads and hearts. I love those

[LVT]

Hey, maybe I am normal> Kitchen towels/trivets, T-Shirts, Pins or Prints

[darthmacho]

T-SHIRTS!

Last trip I didn't even bring enough shirts to wear on the trip, because I knew I'd be buying them.

[White Rose]

I do like the tshirts but I tend to keep an eye out for keepsakes/jewelry. My favorite store is the "Art of Disney" store, I think. I love looking at all the art (even though I can't afford it) but I love all the little figurines they have. Because of this store, I bought my first Lenox collection piece and I can't have enough! I just need to buy Belle and I should be good!

Of course, they're now starting an Aladdin collection...

[WDW&MK]

T-shirts (great idea Darthmacho!!), pins, pins, and more pins

Love the Art of Disney. We buy one piece of art every trip. DH and I take turns picking out the piece. We started with the large figures that are about 1 1/2 feet tall, but haven't seen any new ones lately that we like. Then went to buying smaller art collectibles.

Also, prints (should probably get those framed at some point) and anything Uncle Scrooge McDuck or Jessica Rabbit.

This is going to sound strange but I always get a refillable Mug. I am sad that they are generic now , I miss the resort mugs.

I also always have to get a New Mickey Disney parks snow globe. One year I got a sand globe it is very cool. Mickey is fishing and instead of water there is sand. In the sand are all the Park icons, tree of life, Space ship earth, the castle and the mickey hat. Plus fish! So cute. I love it!

[iluvdumbo]

My mom and I always get the refillable mugs while we are there. My mom also gets scrapbooking materials while I always have to get new pins pertaining to the time frame we are there and new Minnie Mouse plush toys to add to my growing collection. Talking about food, we always need to get a churro and I always get my Minnie Mouse Strawberry Bar ice cream.

New cartoppers are sometimes needed as well
