What's the oldest souvenir you have from Disney World?

**SoaringEpcot** · 07-23-2009, 08:55 AM

We have tickets from my grandparents trip in the late 70's. But the one that most comes to mind are the 83 EPCOT jersey that my brother and I got on our second trip August 1983. The shirts are still in great condition even though our children now wear them. The shirts back then were really made well. My niece loved my brothers so much but had out grown it, so I found an adults medium of the same shirt on ebay and gave it to her for Chirstmas. She wears it as an night shirt now.

DW still has our original tickets from 1992 - They are made of heavy stock paper and were stamped with a date stamp machine when you entered the park. They also have our picture on them...

That was our first trip and one year wedding anniversary...We looked so young in our pictures....

FTW!

a little golden book we bought at the parks featuring Donald and Chip and Dale from I guess 1974.
We also have a guidebook from 1977 and a colorform of Mickey's clubhouse I got in probably 1979.

I had given a Mickey back scratcher to my grandmother over 25 years ago. When she passed away a few years back we found it among her things so I was able to get. One of my oldest and most favorite souvenirs.

Being from So Cal area, my family didn't go to WDW until Epcot opened. So my first souvenirs were all EPCOT unique (i.e. not Disneyland-like) - including Figment, keychains, pens, and tshirts with the EPCOT Center logo. I liked not seeing Disney characters for a change (they did that for the first few years).

I have a Mickey Mouse watch that my mom bought me when I was 16...The second had was a small dial on the side of the face with the Mickey glove...

What a great topic!

I love reading about all the great stuff you guys still have.

Even though I went the year the park opened (I was 3) and again a few years later, the oldest souvenir I have is from a trip in the 80's (89 I think?). It's a big Roger Rabbit button/pin that says spring break and the year. They were handing them out free when you bought tickets.

I have a lot of old souvenirs from WDW. I think the oldest thing would be a jewelry box my mom has from 1980 0r 1983. I have several small ceramics of like Mickey and the gang from 1984, and also a gigantic Figment stuffed animal. Poor Figment was always naked because I'd take the shirt off of him to play dress up. This is a souvenir, but I have a 1983 Steve Baurbum WDW guide book. It is so weird seeing how the place has changed!

I love this topic, too.

We moved recently and I found large button (the kind with a pin on the back) that was from the "Tencennial".
I also have a souviner book from around the same time that has pictures of all the lands at MK, as well as the Disney resorts and the "Disney Village".

I have my 1993 Dixie Landings key cards!

My parents have some pirate statues from the Pirates of the Carribean attraction gift shop from their '73 honeymoon. They decided to decorate their den in a pirate theme (back then).

A park ticket from the 90's probably..

We have ours from 1973 (my first visit) - it is hand-drawn, full color. It now serves as the focal point of DD's room, where it is framed and so way cooler than any babyish type decor

I just found some old souvenirs recently
View Masters Reels of the MK and EC I realized I am missing one are and I am about to go searching on Ebay....

**BelleLovesTheBeast** · 07-27-2009, 11:15 AM

My first trip was in Dec 91 and it was a high school trip. I still have (and it's never been worn) the Magic Music Days Parade t-shirt they gave us.

**FriendsofMickey** · 07-27-2009, 11:25 AM

My Dh went with his family in the 70's (not sure when) and he has a children's pop-up book that highlighted all the rides.

His mother keeps everything, so I am sure she still has all the tickets.
