    Default That must have item you buy when at DW

    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

    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.

    I buy my DW a bottle of her favorite perfume "Laila" from Norway. I get brownie points for buying it for her, and she acts surprised every trip. Then she enjoys her perfume and I get to pretend I'm in Epcot every morning when she puts it on!

    We are Vinylmation obsessed so we always come back with over a dozen of those. We also tend to buy something from Norway every trip, I miss all the small little trolls doing the different things we started collecting them when there was tons of different ones and the next trip they were gone!

    If they have issued a new Thumper Pin - that gets added to my collection. And if there is a Thumper Mug or new Thumper Plush - I get that. Thumper Ornament too, if I don't already have it.

    And my husband sighs every time because HE is responsible for my Thumper obsession - he gave me my 1st Thumper plush 25 years ago.

    We always get two Christmas ornaments from Germany in Epcot (you know, the blown glass ones). We have them shipped back to our room so we don't break them while wandering the park! Not really a Disney item per say, but something we only buy at Disney...

    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!

    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

    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.
    Next trip - Sep29-Oct4! Free QS dining at POP. First trip with both kids. (6th total visit)

    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.

    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.
