What's your biggest splurge at WDW?

[TheVBs]

What have you really splurged on while on a trip to WDW? One year I bought a metal, enameled Tinker Bell figurine accented with Swarovski crystals. Never even got close to something with a similar price tag before or since!

Besides the trip itself my biggest purchase was a big statue Mickey.

There wasnt one item. But, last year - we did a whole lot of shopping....more than we normally did there, like by 4 times as much. Pin lanyard, pins, sweatshirt, t-shirts, candies, hair accessories, jewelry, games, tote bags, christmas stockings, stuffed animals...you name it!!!! (We always take a collaspable duffle in our suitcase and almost didnt get everything in our luggage! .....We will be back in less than 2 weeks - and Mouse Gear and World of Disney is a waitin' for me!

Depending on my finances at the time, I do buy lots of stuff (even travel with an empty suitcase to get it all home) but I try to be reasonable about what items cost.

That being said, on my last trip, I bought a Dooney Mickey bag and spent more $$ on that thing than I EVER have on a purse....and I LOVE IT!!! I guess it's OK to be good to myself once in a while .

Other than that, we are pretty frugal on our WDW trips.

That's what I plan on getting on our next trip!! I've been drooling over one of the new bags that was just released and I can't WAIT to get it! We're really pulling out all the stops for our next trip...usually, we have our DD & one of her friends, but she can't make it due to school. So....mom & dad get to splurge a little. We're doing the Keys to the Kingdom tour, the Wilderness Segway Tour, Cirque du Soleil, and a large budget for drinks & snacks. This will be the first vacation I won't have to be worrying about how I'm spending every penny...and I can't wait!!!

We stay Club Level. That's our splurge. We're not into buying "things" on vacation; we buy an experience.

Bought a pair of Gucci sunglasses as Icon at DTD.
I saw the new Douney Bag. Some woman came into the store I work at with one. She said she waited an hour and a half and Trend D to get it. I liked the ones they had in November but not as much as this one so I am glad I didn't get the other one. I will be getting the new pattern next month.

Me too! Well, last November I splurged on a D&B WDW wristlet because I couldn't bring myself to spend so much on a bag. Then when I got home, I called WDW Mail Order so I could order the bag, lol. I have a trip coming up in May, and I'm already trying to make myself "be good" and not splurge on the new D&B WDW design, but something tells me that I don't have that kind of willpower

Does alcohol count? One year we spent $60 in one night on drinks (which wasn't really that many, haha!)

LOL that is ours too. Not that we are alcoholics but we're on vacation. My husband wants his beers around the world at Epcot and I want a glass of wine at dinner. It's easy to spend alot on drinks there.

We're not big shoppers when we're there because when the kids were little we bought them just about everything that was for sale at WDW. Now we all got that out of our systems! I must admit we were considering a painting once at the gallery in the Poly, we really liked it but I just couldn't convince myself to spend that amount of money. I'd rather put it toward the next trip.

[Darbylew]

Sounds like I will be looking for the bag when I
go in May. Where did you find the Dooney
Mickey Bag? I hope I can find it.

[badkitty]

For me, it was two nights, lagoon view at the Poly. It was wonderful. I could see Space Mountain and part of Cinderella Castle. I could even hear the music from the park entrance. Saving all my $$ so that I can stay there again someday.

I collect hand-blown glass Christmas tree ornaments. This last trip down, I found some lovely ornaments in Germany in EPCOT. They were a mille fiori-style and weren't obviously Disney, yet a lovely remembrance of the trip. I like a themed tree, so to buy one or two would be silly...so I bought...many. That batch cost a lot of money, but I'm looking forward to putting up my tree this year!

Same here. This year, if I can get it worked out, I believe my daughter and I want to have a spa day.

I know TrenD at Downtown Disney has them...I've also heard that a couple of the shops at DHS have them, but I can't remember the names of the shops.

Party-of The-Senses during the F&WF.
This I think we will have to for go the party, this year, it's getting way too expensive.

[ginny57]

Got my bag (barrel bag-black with multi colored Mickeys on it) in DTD @ World of Disney in the Jewelry section of the store. They had quite a selection.

I highly recommend a Margarita from the Margarita Bar @ DTD 1st....I used that as MY excuse!!

My pirates of the carribean watch that I have worn since I purchased it in 2007! I also splurge on pins.
