Shopping is not something I normally enjoy. I'm the type who goes to the store for a purpose and hopefully leave with that "purpose" in hand. I do not enjoy "going shopping" without an agenda or a specific thing to buy. Call me crazy, but I just don't enjoy wandering around a store not having any idea what I may come home with.
Except when it comes to Disney! I love meandering through the shops on Main Street and Hollywood Boulevard. I have to visit MouseGears at Epcot, even though I've pretty much seen everything on Main Street or Hollywood Boulevard! I think if I don't walk through each store and look at all my options, I'll miss out on something. Maybe that's how others feel at home when they wander through the malls without a specific agenda....
So, on to my top 4 souvenirs:
1) A Disney Christmas Ornament. I have an ornament from almost all of my "adult" trips to WDW and Disneyland. I even have a few from the Disney store in NYC! I love Christmas and I love Disney, so this souvenir is a way to bring those two loves together!
2) A pin to commemorate something special about the trip. If we are there for a holiday, I always get the holiday pin. If we attend a special event, that is the pin I purchase. I also have a few favorite characters to remember character interactions! Other times, I just buy the year pin to remember the trip. But, I always buy a pin of some sort!
3) A Sweatshirt. Odd, I know. I love sweatshirts. I have recently given away several to make more room in my drawers! But, I never get rid of the WDW ones! I think there are 5 currently...
4) Anything Toy Story... This one's for C-man! He's obsessed. Really. So for my 4th souvenir, I'll make it Woody, Buzz or even Jessie to make my boy smile! (Even though the items in this photo aren't WDW souvenirs, notice the Woody t-shirt while riding the Buzz toy!)
What is your favorite souvenir?
We always do an ornament also, silhouette pictures of our girls, ear hats, a picture frame, and a magnet.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much for the souvenirs, either! I spend my money on different snacks :) Yum! But, we seem to always end up with a new plush for Noah.. and we have that same Woody t-shirt!
