I have a real Disney shopping problem. I can never leave there without getting a dated pin, magnet and picture frame. I also get one of my son's a snow globe as he collects those (thanks Santa Clause 3 LOL) My guys also get shirts and I'll buy almost anything with Figment on it and we always also get at least one Christmas ornament. At least I put a dent in my Christmas shopping list when I go.

Here is my newest souvenir that I bought this weekend at MK ~ Chip! I've been waiting and hoping they would have a Chip mug in the parks and they finally do.

So far, it is exclusive to Bonjour! Village shop in Fantasyland. The CM said you can't get it anywhere else in any of the parks. She also said they have it "somewhere" at DTD too, but we didn't see it in any of the stores we were in at DTD Saturday night.

I LOVE IT!

I found my trivet (sp?) on sale at Disney.com and I needed to spend $50 with Disney to activate my points and all. I am sooo glad I ordered ahead of time. It's cast iron and weighs a ton so would have really weighed down my luggage. But is soooo cute....

My husband says I already have plenty of mugs and stuffed animals (I find them all over), so he would probably slap my hand. Hmmm the jewelry though he doesn't see before I usually stash it away.....

He always gets something jade or crystal and he loves Mickey as the Wizard.

I collect popcorn buckets. I get one every time we go, even if there aren't any new ones. (I'm a passholder and go 5 or 6 times a year). They are easy to stack in my kitchen cabinet (I only save one or two lids) and I use them for all kinds of things from holding scraps while I"m doing prep work to carrying snacks on a day outing. It's less expensive and more utilitarian than my pin collection. I have an R2D2 bucket from Star Wars weekends last year (or the year before) and look forward to getting the Darth Vader helmet bucket this year.

My husband collects shot glasses and I always do the pressed pennies. I have 3 books of pressed pennies. I am considering turning them into a bracelet for my self.

I collect Stitch Pins only. I did break down and get a Perry the Platypus one the last time I was there. I try and find a good cook book.

We spend most of our money on photos and food.

I am T-49 Days. This particular trip I am looking for items for my new remodeled Disney Bathroom.

Not counting pins. I normally get a mug and a hoodie (or for wdw I will consider other clothing) these are the only things I get on every trip, but I love Disney shopping so normally come back with lots of things. Thelast few trips I've also got a new jigsaw.

My shopping list is also growing at a rapid pace wink

Mine is yellow, red, black and white. I love it. I have pictures somewhere if you are interested in seeing them. My BFF said, "I feel like I am in a resort when I am in there". So I counted it as a win-win
