What's your biggest splurge at WDW?
What have you really splurged on while on a trip to WDW? One year I bought a metal, enameled Tinker Bell figurine accented with Swarovski crystals. Never even got close to something with a similar price tag before or since!

Besides the trip itself my biggest purchase was a big statue Mickey.

(We always take a collaspable duffle in our suitcase and almost didnt get everything in our luggage! .....We will be back in less than 2 weeks - and Mouse Gear and World of Disney is a waitin' for me!

Depending on my finances at the time, I do buy lots of stuff (even travel with an empty suitcase to get it all home) but I try to be reasonable about what items cost.
That being said, on my last trip, I bought a Dooney Mickey bag and spent more $$ on that thing than I EVER have on a purse....and I LOVE IT!!! I guess it's OK to be good to myself once in a while .

That's what I plan on getting on our next trip!! I've been drooling over one of the new bags that was just released and I can't WAIT to get it! We're really pulling out all the stops for our next trip...usually, we have our DD & one of her friends, but she can't make it due to school. So....mom & dad get to splurge a little. We're doing the Keys to the Kingdom tour, the Wilderness Segway Tour, Cirque du Soleil, and a large budget for drinks & snacks. This will be the first vacation I won't have to be worrying about how I'm spending every penny...and I can't wait!!!

We stay Club Level. That's our splurge. We're not into buying "things" on vacation; we buy an experience.

Bought a pair of Gucci sunglasses as Icon at DTD.
I saw the new Douney Bag. Some woman came into the store I work at with one. She said she waited an hour and a half and Trend D to get it. I liked the ones they had in November but not as much as this one so I am glad I didn't get the other one. I will be getting the new pattern next month.

Me too! Well, last November I splurged on a D&B WDW wristlet because I couldn't bring myself to spend so much on a bag. Then when I got home, I called WDW Mail Order so I could order the bag, lol. I have a trip coming up in May, and I'm already trying to make myself "be good" and not splurge on the new D&B WDW design, but something tells me that I don't have that kind of willpower

Sounds like I will be looking for the bag when I
go in May. Where did you find the Dooney
Mickey Bag? I hope I can find it.

For me, it was two nights, lagoon view at the Poly. It was wonderful. I could see Space Mountain and part of Cinderella Castle. I could even hear the music from the park entrance. Saving all my $$ so that I can stay there again someday.

Splurge
I collect hand-blown glass Christmas tree ornaments. This last trip down, I found some lovely ornaments in Germany in EPCOT. They were a mille fiori-style and weren't obviously Disney, yet a lovely remembrance of the trip. I like a themed tree, so to buy one or two would be silly...so I bought...many. That batch cost a lot of money, but I'm looking forward to putting up my tree this year!

Same here. This year, if I can get it worked out, I believe my daughter and I want to have a spa day.

I know TrenD at Downtown Disney has them...I've also heard that a couple of the shops at DHS have them, but I can't remember the names of the shops.

Got my bag (barrel bag-black with multi colored Mickeys on it) in DTD @ World of Disney in the Jewelry section of the store. They had quite a selection.
I highly recommend a Margarita from the Margarita Bar @ DTD 1st....I used that as MY excuse!!

My pirates of the carribean watch that I have worn since I purchased it in 2007! I also splurge on pins.
