    My biggest splurge was in May 2008 when I bought a framed giclee on canvas at the Polynesian. It's called Kauai Dream and was done by James Coleman (18" x 24"). It's Lilo and Stitch surfing, and I fell in love with it when I saw it. I have one of 95 prints (don't know the number off hand, and too lazy to walk downstairs to see).

    DH and I walked out of the store without buying it, but he knew how much I loved it, so he took me back in to buy it. That was a big splurge. I had to wait a couple months until it was printed and shipped to me, but it was so worth the wait.

    Other smaller splurges have been a Dooney & Bourke handbag and wristlet, many big figures and a framed artist proof of Princess Aurora and the fairies from Art of Disney (18" x 24").

    Our biggest splurge is staying at a Disney Resort since we don't buy much but t-shirts or hats. One year for our Anniversary though we each bought a nice watch from the watch store on Main Street and had dinner at the California Grill, which was awesome.

    We did the "Breathless cruise" and got the Light up Mickey Crystal with the family pic inside. Both were worth the $$$ .Very Nice!!

    Where did you find that purse? I looked everywhere when we were there last may & didnt find it. Have only seen it online. We are headed back in 33 days so maybe I'll have better luck finding it this time...

    Just found a site that lists all the places you can get them at the world....they must not have had them when i was there last may. You can get them at WOD, DHS, Uptown Jewelers @ MK, Grand Floridian & Yacht Club. I know what I'll be splurging on next!

    Back in 1989 I bought Walt's Triple Self Portrait limited edition lithograph by Charles Boyer that, once professionally framed, cost me almost what my entire trip cost at that time. Our biggest splurge has yet to come...When the Grand Floridian first opened we had dinner at Victoria & Albert's and it was something we remember fondly. We are planning our Dec 2011/Jan 2012 trip and we hope to get reservations at Victoria & Albert's New Years Eve Dining Event. I'm sure it will be a great way to send out the old year and ring in the new. Starting after our next trip we will start saving a dollar a day each specifically for that purpose. Even with price increases we should have more than enough and a dollar a day won't be missed.

    We usually get t-shirts, and the ordinary souvenirs, maybe a new beach towel, but I don't consider that a "splurge"

    What we probably spend the most $$ on, (other than room & food, of course) are Disney Christmas ornaments and decorations.

    I forgot to mention our dinners at V&A. Those are a definite splurge, especially when you add on things like Kobe or Wagyu beef. Worth EVERY penny!!!

    Mine was my Mickey Silver Bangle Watch my DH bought for me when they used to have a watch store at DHS. It was $75, and I have worn it everyday for 2 years, so a good buy.

    I also have a D&B wristlet, the black one. I love it, I also use it everyday as well.

    Now I want to shop!

    Also, the Grand Marnier Orange Slushie, at $9 a pop it's pretty pricey, but soooooo worth it!
