My daughter developed a pin obsession on our first trip to WDW and specifically she looks for Tinkerbell pins. She also collects snowglobes and pressed pennies.
I have decided that I want to start collecting Mary Poppins stuff and Disney Christmas ornaments. So that will be my goal next trip!

Mostly I just collect dust, but DW is a fanatical Precious Moments collector, so the new Disney PM's combine her two favorite things.

We have collected all sorts of things with each visit. Over the years they have changed some but here are a few.

1. Pressed Coins
2. Pins
3. Snow Globes
4. Disney Christmas houses and ornaments.

Last year we started with the large figurines. We got Pirate Mickey, this year we will try and get Jedi Mickey. These are a bit more expensive to collect but we will try and get (1) per visit.

My DW collects pressed pennies. We get the latest printout when we get to the parks and hunt down the all the ones she wants. Her record is two of the pressed penny books full. I have a feeling she will be breaking that record this trip.

It's Eeyore for me, mostly stuffed ones. I need to stop and have committed to doing just that. If I can get the nerve up I plan to donate the bulk of my collection to a children's home or somewhere similar this Christmas season. Then I can always start over, right? :blush:

Also the magnets! Love those!

Fun post!

OOH! I get at least one coffee mug each trip, but it always ends up to be like 2 or 3 a trip, and I'm running out of room! I won't store any other "regular" coffee cups with them, and I won't use them for guests..No way, not allowed to use them! Just for me and my husband, and the kids for hot cocoa in the winter or tea if they are sick. I pick one out each morning and I still get excited doing that! I got a GREAT one this past trip at AKL, a handpainted, African painted style mug with a Mickey head painted on both sides with really cool African prints..I love it. It was expensive, but worth it. Its sooooo pretty.
I also collect pins, my kids too, and I keep mine on the visor of my car, so I can see them all of the time. I keep my "free" WDW napkins that I collect in my glovebox for when we might need one in the car, and I always get excited to get one out!

I collect the small snowglobes. Each one reminds me of that particular trip and brings back lots of good memories.:cloud9:

DD has started a pressed penny collection. Also I love the pins and want to start collecting them but there are so darn many to choose from, I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt trying to get them all.

I collect Lion King Broadway items. Even on my arm. (My AVATAR is also a tattoo on my arm). I have EVERY SINGLE ITEM THEY SELL (Believe me, between 3 shows and DisneyShopping.com - I've checked). I also collect AK/Lion items from the giftshops.

I collect Shot Glasses, or as Disney calls them toothpick holders and snowglobes. My wife collects keychains and my son collects postcards. I also like dated things and theme related things (ie year of a million dreams, 100 years of magic, where the party never ends, etc.)

I collect pins but only ones that I like since there are too many to count--mainly Haunted Mansion and event pins such as F&G and F&W. I also collect the souvenir mugs from the parks with the holidays and dates. I'm running out of room in the cabinet for the mugs, but I will still get them! :mickey:

I collect mugs and have some I use and some I don't. One of my favorites is the disney mug that plays IASW-- what a way to wake up. I keep them on my bookshelves in the kitchen.
I also love ornaments and start my own "Disney" tree 2 years ago. I've collected them since 82 with Figments first Christmas (one of my favorites)
I love the picture frames and I also have a spoon collection from all over the world and I have a rack that is just Disney. :minnie:

I have an un natural obsession with coffee mugs with my names on them, but havent found any of those at Disney. Other than that I like collecting anything with an Irish theme. My last trip I was lucky enough to go in between Valentine's Day and St Patricks Day and was able to find some cute things.

Dolls, specifically Alice. I plan to get an Engel Puppen Alice in Wonderland doll this trip. Thats the one and only thing I'm going to buy for myself as a souveneir. Last time I went a little crazy with the Disney Souveneirs, I got an attractions poster, Christmas Ornaments, a porcelain Marie Osmond Alice doll, and a tee shirt, and an Alice Tea Set that reminded me of one I had when I was very young but unfortunately the one from my youth got damaged, as some of the plates got broken and have been glued back together. But this one I found when I was down there last trip is gorgeous, and a better quality china. I have it in my display case with all my dolls. I'm a sentimental collector, so for me Dolls remind me of the first Snow White doll my mom bought me from a beautiful gift shop in Magic Kingdom that sold crystal and keepsakes, I believe it was in Adventureland years ago.

I think I may try to start a ceramic coffee mug collection. I drink coffee all day so why not be reminded of all the things I love about Disney? For the Sept. trip, I may go for a Peter Pan mug or YOAMD one. You people have inspired me to be a collector!:D

Each time I have been to Disney I tried to collect something different. I really enjoyed collecting the penny and quarter presses last time I went because there are so many different ones to look at and get!
