    Default What's the oldest souvenir you have from Disney World?

    For me, it would have to be a stuffed figment doll from '90. I was eight years old, on my first trip to WDW. It is about 7 inches tall and sits on top of my bookcase with a bunch of other cool souvenirs.

    A sticker that my husband brought back from his first trip in the seventies... When we got married I framed it because we had no money, (and little furnishings). It was the only thing on our walls. I had never been yet at that point, but I loved the idea of it already. I thought the art looked perfect over the crate with the hand-me-down lamp! The orange construction paper backing really set it off. Thanks for bringing me a smile today.

    My oldest souvenir is also a Figment. I have a Figment keyring from 1986. My mom and I went in July that year just before I left to be an exchange student in FInland. I also have a tea cozy from England that I got on that trip.

    I still have a licence plate of the Magic Kingdom from 1975. Of course back then, MK was all there was to Walt Disney World. I have it mounted on a wall in my house.

    Default Winnie the Pooh from 1976

    His red shirt that once said Pooh no longer says Pooh. He looks REALLY bad! Then I have a very tall Marie stuffed animal and Dumbo from the early 80's. My parents even have some unused tickets from 1976. They have them put up with our Elvis tickets from his last concert that they went to and the concert that he was to have, but died before he could actually do it. Yes, I actually remember going to his concert and I was only 4. I slept through the whole first act! LOL!!!!

    I have 2-21/2 inch ceramic type Micky and Minnie, Donald and Daisy, and Pluto. That was from my first trip in 1979.

    I have a gold charm, well 'had' a gold charm (my Mom wears it all the time now). I bought it in 1986 and it is the old WDW logo, a world with ears. I would give anything to get the same charm in silver!

    We still have a old Cooking with Mickey cookbook, I think it is from 1986 or 87.

    I bought a lot of Epcot stuff in 1985 on my first visit, so I have patches, keychains, license plates all with the original Epcot Center logo. I used to collect license plates (when Disney still made them for all occasions). I would always buy two, one to put on the front of my car, the other to keep new.

    I have this set of rubber character figures in plastic. I think they were erasers but I never used them. We got them on our first family trip in 72 or 73. If you walk through Walt Disney: One Man's Dream they have them in one of the cases on display. I think it was in the last room.

    I have a bunch of dress-up items from PotC (hat, eyepatch, hook, ball and chain, etc.) from when I was a pirate for Halloween in 1989. I also have this pink nameplate with ballet slippers on it, probably from around the same time. It's not very Disney-esque, but I do remember mom buying them somewhere in the MK.

    My first mouse ears from 1980! The hat part is red and looks like a full hat, not a beanie like the current mickey ears. I also have my ticket from that first trip which looks like a gift tag and has a string. The dates we visited MK are stamped on the tag.

    I have a plush Eyeore from my first trip; my dad bought it for me. I think it was 1979 and I was a toddler. Somewhere I have the tickets too. My mother saved them.

    My parents are purgers not savers so really the only thing I have from childhood trips are the photos. I have started saving special items for my son like a pin from each year and his 1st mouse ears.

    I have a WDW towel from either 1976 or 1980. I also have Mickey ears, which I think is from our 1976 trip. One thing that I definitely have from my 1976 trip is the bicentennial WDW Guide/Park map. It's in the safe.
