On our last night in Disney, we always go to the Christmas Shop at DtD and purchase an ornament that represent our favorite moment on the trip. Our last trip was my son's first. He fell in love with Chip and Dale at the character breakfast we went to, which we were exstatic about because we weren't sure if at 14 months he'd be afraid. So we ended up with a Chip and Dale ornament. The great thing is I have 2 Christmas trees - a regular and a Disney. We just love decorating the Disney one because we remember those special moments each ornament represents. Of course, we have so many great memories that we sometimes have to buy 2 or 3 on each trip!
The other thing we always buy is a picture frame that we put our favorite photo from the trip in it. I have all the Disney frames we have collected on a book shelf in my living room and we just love to look at them. It keeps us looking forward to the next trip to WDW!

I love the idea of the ornaments reflecting favorite moments!

What's even better is that we usually go to WDW during February, so it really gets us more excited (if that's possible) a couple months before we go. Plus, we are looking forward to when our kids can talk (DS is only 2 and DD is only 9 months right now) and start to remember their own special moments from WDW.

What Don't We Come Home With?
I always make sure that we get new Fridge magnets when we go. That is how my grand-newphews have learned their Disney friends!!! Scrapbooking stuff is always at the top of my list also. We usually pick up some pins (especially for special events), and one or two tee-shirts. Since I refuse to drink my morning coffee out of anything Non-Disney I have quite a collection of Disney mugs. In fact, they are literally falling out of our cupboards!!
Unfortunately, we also seem to enjoy buying backpacks and tote bags from WDW. Last trip, I found a great bag on our last day that I was intending to use as a carry on for all of the stuff that wouldn't fit in the luggage. Being in a buying frenzy, I mistakenly had that bag shipped home with several other purchases and had to buy yet another tote later in the day!! Oh well, now I have a brand new bag to use for our September trip!! Yay!!!
Oh, we also collect all of the pressed pennies!

We've done the same with the little Mickey shortbread cookies--brighten up a nonmagical day sometimes (have a special tea....), and they taste good for a long time after we get back!

Just in general when I go on vacation I look for coffee mugs with my name on them.
When in Disney I look for anything Irish, Alice in wonderland and Tinkerbell. My mom loves Cinderella and Woodie from Toystory and a little bit of Sleeping Beauty.
Our next trip I already know I want the little doll of the Irish girl from Its A Small World, and my mom has said she wants some coffee mugs since we have one really nice big Mickey one, and she wants something other than Mickey.

I generally bring home a doll since its a tradition that ever since my first trip to Disney, my mom bought me a Snow White collectors doll from Effanbee. So each year I get a new one, I'm on an Alice in Wonderland kick as shes my favourite so I intend to get an Engel Puppen version of my favourite girl on my next trip at Germany I saw the cute little Alice dresses.

I like the stuffed characters at the different countries in Epcot. I've started with the ones from my heritage and eventually want them all. We'll see how many we come home with in Dec. I also have a few pins and want to start collecting more. I also am planning on getting some Christmas decorations this trip. I don't know how I am going to get all this back here!

I collect anything Pluto, so I normally come home with at least a Pluto beanie or two or anything else I may come across! I also always seem to end up with at least one item of clothing (hats, tees, sweatshirt, etc).

I'm addicted to pins, so I always come home with at least one (some times many more- don't tell DH ). I try to keep souveniers to a minimun so that our trips don't get too pricey. I have a much easier time convincing DH to go again and again if I can rationalize that we don't spend too much once we get there!

You could do like we have...Bring an empty suitcase, or one time when we were desperate--mail your clothes back home!

I always look for a souvenir mug with the season and date/year on it, although a Spring Break 07 mug was not to be found last month. I also always look for new antenna toppers to collect.

I find that, of course, DD comes home with the most stuff, but she got tons of pins last time (I tell her that we're sharing them LOL) and pressed pennies. I treated myself to a sweatshirt.
I like collecting shot glasses from everywhere, so I got a couple of those.
Haven't started my wish list for Sept, although DD wants a stuffed POTC Goofy, to be friends with her POTC Pluto from Jan. A dated Christmas ornament, for sure, I forgot to get one in jan. Good thing we'll be going back the same year LOL
