The plactic kid's meal bowls shaped like Mickey's head...they use them for meals at home!

**kathiep** · 10-08-2007, 02:08 PM

OMG - I never thought about taking the Mickey Head plates!

I just had a memory flash from my only childhood trip in 1975!! My brother and I also had those orange shaped sippers !! I think its still around somewhere! I LOVE this thread! I have read every post!! You people are right up my ally

I took all the soaps last time and still have some for my guest bathroom! I NEVER thought of the coasters!! My friend's son loves Goofy so we will look for the spoons! Thanks again for a great thread!

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about the collection of napkins my mom has at home from our previous trips. We've still got plenty of Mickey shampoo and handsoap, and we even have some old (really old) containers of hand lotion. We're all scared to open them at this point.

One not particularly sanctioned freebie was from a many many years ago trip to CBR (probably the first or second year they were open). My mom decided she liked the food trays (there were 3 or 4 different colors then) so my dad decided to "borrow some" by using them to carry food from the food court backto our room.

I like to collect the park maps over the years.

**Dawneeeey** · 10-08-2007, 06:57 PM

I collect stirrers, napkins, coasters, toiletries for scrapbooking, along with park maps and even fast passes. I have kept every park pass, paper and plastic.

Another cool freebie that I have never asked for was Mickey stickers that a CM gave me when I needed a band-aid for a blister at first-aid.

Oh - and shower caps. But really I collect them from any hotel. They make great covers for my kitchen aid stand mixer!

**PNWmom** · 10-08-2007, 07:05 PM

Toiletries for scrapbooking? How do you do this?

**cal5755** · 10-08-2007, 07:58 PM

I thought I was the only one with fastpasses lol. We have one from test track and one for goofy barnstormer (when that broke down they gave us 3 passes and each pass was good for 3 people). We also collect confetti, napkins, stickers (we have tons of mickey and princesses), button pins, shampoo, soaps and yes we save all of our key cards. We also keep our luggage tags from every year and dh keeps our airline stubs. Oh and not to mention the tons of park maps we have... it amazes me that the kids NEVER get tired of looking at the park maps. Oh wait I almost forgot.. we have magical moments certificates that the kids get on their trips... we love those too!! I am wondering if Autogpraphs count.. the book costs but the autographs are free lol.

That's a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing it.

By the way, I saw the Mickey confetti on Main Street and thought about scooping some up but felt shy about it. Now I know others do these things too ! I've got tons of napkins, cups (from each park when each one was different), plates, popcorn boxes... I'm not as crazy as my friends think ! Yipee I found my place !

Oh yeh,

those too ! I saw the retro Epcot map (was it on this site or somewhere else?) issued 10/1 and reminded me of the actual ones. Early on, they had a cardboard one with a spinning wheel with all the pavillion descriptions. That is one of my cherished souvenirs.

Wow, you're memory flash triggered another - from Disneyland. This is going to date me: Upjohn Pharmacy used to have a store on Mainstreet U.S.A. where they gave out bottles of "vitamins", actually orange candy. I used to look forward to getting new ones each time we visited

I am really enoying my visit to INTERCOT

**Sean Riley Taylor's Mom** · 10-08-2007, 10:43 PM

The stickers the CM's give out to kids.

My kids love to bring them home to make their autograph books for next year (We make our own out of index card books.

) and also put them on their homework folders to get a little dose of Disney each night.

We got some new ones last month. Usually we only get Mickey, this trip we got some Princesses too.

**Woo Hoo...This is my 1000th post!!** (My DH is just sitting here shaking his head at me. I think he thinks I am nuts...lol)

**tinklover** · 10-09-2007, 09:33 AM

Our last trip to the World was in May of this year and we got caught in a down pour

in CHINA. we got the rain ponchos

and we still use them at home and have been asked several times where we got them. We also brought home napkins and i carefully took the confetti out of both DD's hair when we got back to the hotel after haveing a visit in the barber shop. the confetti is now in a scrap book with pics of teh trip and a napkin and our expired photo pass cards. we now always have a lil bit of magic

at home. we also got the DD's cinderella dresses at the orlando walmart for them to wear in the park( cheaper then going to bibbity bobbity boutique) and we put them in a shadow box with their individual pics of them with cindy and they are hanging over their beds. I know that these wer enot freebies but I thought I could share an idea for future visitors.

I thought for sure someone would have mentioned our favorite freebie -- Robots from Innoventions at Epcot!

**DizNee143** · 10-09-2007, 10:07 AM

me and my family are guilty of napkin stealing..there are times we have enough to last us a year...we grab that many!! lol..and of course i usually keep my key also..but the napkins are the big thing for us..

**PNWmom** · 10-09-2007, 10:21 AM

My favorite is the CM's who will take your picture with your camera any time you ask. That's the only way we were able to get the whole family in the picture.

We also keep maps, tickets, stickers...

**Fantasmic** · 10-09-2007, 10:29 AM

Park Maps, and Shampoo, Key, Park Tickets, Fast Passes, Recipts, Rocks from Epcot's Car Park... these are a few of my favourite things
