i thought it would be really good to start a topic about weird merchandise from disneyland or disney. Like the other day i found a tea spoon we took from disney 10 years ago, and a mark twain sharpner which i have no idea were it came from. Do people take anything they can from disneyland like spoons and napkins etc
I've just got the soap, shampoo from the bathroom
Oh and a packet of biscuits I had in a tea pack I got from reception!!
They've got Mickey mouse on them and they are out of date!! :oops: :lol:
well that wouldnt be good with a cup o' tea. we had the soap but gave it as a gift saying we'd bought it :D i have found a carry bag from 1997 with the 5th anniversariy celebration on. Any body got an older carry bag!
I have a light up rose from disney when I was about 6! That's probably it!
I always collect loads of stuff like napkins and maps etc because I like to put them in to my scrapbook...
I have bought a real beautiful glass there once with Winnie the Pooh character as feet and my name on the glass itself (its a wineglass)
Oh sorry, wrong post, when I saw odd, random, rare and peculiar I just assumed it was a thread about me :D
I did think that too when I saw it, I meant about me, not you samninetysix!
Random, odd and peculiar? Thats me and my next door neighbour stood in the back garden last night singing Zippedy Doo Da to our daughters 12 and 9. To say they werent impressed was the understatemet of the year! :lol:
Back on topic. I have paper cups in my kitchen cupboard with mickey all over them. They are from the tea pack too! I went out and got mugs from the gift shop just so that I could keep them! So I've got paper cups and new coffee mugs too! :lol:
Why do people think I'm eccentric? :P
;) :lol: All my Cheshire Cat merchandise is odd.
:P Just because it's Cheshire Cat.
Probably the oddest thing I have is a Darth Mickey plush from the WDW Star Wars weekends, which I won on Ebay. There's just something weird about Mickey Mouse dressed as Darth Vader.
My different plushes of Disney characters dressed in different outfits are probably the weirdest things.
I've got:-
Astronaut Donald from Discoveryland
Astronaut Minnie from Discoveryland
Aerosmith Goofy from WDS
Pirate Mickey
Pirate Pluto (really cool)
Jedi Mickey (from WDW)
Darth Mickey (from WDW)
Indiana Mickey (from WDW)
And I'm just waiting for Minnie as Belle, and Minnie as Ariel from WDW.
All my WDW plushes are won off Ebay. I've never been to any of the American parks.
the scrap book for maps and that sounds great, i think im going to do one! :D
I've got loads of plastic teaspoons, with characters on the end... We nicked a few them from the breakfasts each morning (5/6 years ago), and collected every character... All unopened... Haha!!
xx
hmm the strangest and rarest thing i have is a light bulb from the original msep at DLC i also have a button from mickey mouses costume that fell off but i also have a rather large collection of disney park guides/maps too plus many other things
Mickey mouses button i have to say that is the strangest thing i have ever heard taken from disney well done lol
i just have the usual all the free soap and some tea bags

We actually have our Easter decorations stored in the 5th anniversary bags!!! I just noticed it when we got them from the attic somewhere in March :) So I'm happy to tell you I'm joining your club ;)

Okay ill take it back its the strangest thing ive ever hear of being salvaged from disney that better lol
Speaking of soap i have just seen some of the free disney soap for sale on ebay for 80p is there anything people wont sell ????
I also have the soap i also got the souvenier disneyland and studios plastic mugs.
I got a few park maps so i could frame two of them to put on the wall and in the photo album with the photos that we took that year.
But the strangest thing i kept was the till reciepts and the backings from the trading pins that i got
I have a shoe box from each visit i make to disney, it contains tickets, napkins, soap, sweets basically anything i have picked up while there. I keep them as a reminder of my visits but i guess one day many years to come they will be a snapshot of social and merchandising history.
Well thats what i tell my husband anyway, so i won't have to get rid of any of it.
a cast member at DLR told me he started working there in 1974 and collected apesulutly anything from the park and said he at least had 2 rooms full of disneyland storadge stuff as he has no where else too put it
I have a box for each visit that I keep stuff in I collected like napkins, the plastic spoons etc with the characters on the handle. Bags and stuff like that. I remember being especially proud one year as it was when there was the Winnie the Pooh performance on the castle stage and I picked some of the streamers up at the end to add to my box...strange I know.
Its not really merchandise, but I've also got a purse that my grandma gave me from when she was little. Its leather and has a very faded snow white on it.
I have 7 photobooks from 6 trips already... 7th is coming... :wink:
I have 4 full up photo albums containing 200 pictures each; they're all proper Disneyland Paris ones - you press a button on the inside cover of the oldest one and the fireworks on the front light up!
I have a 'happy anniversary' pin with an old-style Mickey and Minnie hugging on it that I bought from eBay for a special occassion - it looks old but I don't know where or when it's from.
I have a set of cups from DLRP that are heart shaped and fit together but they're small - not espresso small - but the average English tea drinker would need both for a good sized cuppa!
I have all my receipts, tags from the Disney Express service, sugar packets,
napkins, lots of jam and chocolate spread from breakfasts in the morning, park maps, park hopper tickets, minnie ears, tons of cushions but some are from the Disney store and a necklace from Disneyland in Anaheim with a dangling hollow heart that has a crystal on the side of it and it has a tiny mickey mouse head-shaped crystal hanging next to it.
I'm afraid I love packaging and keep all my bags, receipts, tags, etc and I even have EuroDisney poncho's still in their original packaging - hubby cannot get over the fact I just don't like to bin packaging! Son has a lot of character beanies but I've just started collecting Minnie ones for our baby girl, my favourite is Minnie as Ariel but it just makes me think of our little one when we had her photographed underwater in a mermaid costume :D
