Oh I have so many things which I love. But for most I love my Main Street/Disneyland Paris snowglobe. Every morning I let the music of it play. It's the song from Sleeping Beauty "Once upon a dream". And sometimes at night I switch on the lights of it. And I have another item which I totally love. It's my plush Mickey. I bought it in DLP in 1993 as I was 13 years old. And he is still in very good condition. He is now 14 years old and he sleeps in my arms every night.
My best items are my 3 Armani Disney figurines of Belle, Ariel and Aurora. They were all very expensive but they are absolutely gorgeous, and are the best collectible items I've ever owned - and I've owned a few things over the years.

@- lil-shawn love your tapestry it is great :ears:
@ fly with me dumbo great globe is that from uk or disney park?
i have a collection of globes also hopeing to get 15th one !
do you know if there is one yet? :ears:
Most of my "stuff" tends to be Pooh and gang related, favourite item-a big hoody jumper my DH bought me at the end of our last visit to DLRP with Eeyore on. We had gone to our budget and then he treated me! It isnt my biggest or most expensive but I love it.
I have a small collection of snow globes, but none of them are Disney (for shame Sam!) but I am hoping to correct that on our next visit.
lil_shawn. I LOVE that tapestry.
Who's going soon to DLRP? M'be someone can give us an idea of what merchandise there is for the 15th birthday celebrations...
Or should I have said what ISNT merchandised for the 15th!
hmm there's so many, love my mini plush eeyore. but my faves are probs my belle and ariel mini snow globes, i wanted all the 5 princesses but was told was a waste :(. not a waste lol but i choose those 2.
Charlotte
my globes are from disney shop the dalamation one though there was only 2 given to every shop. i really do hope for a 15th but i dont know if theres one either, are big globes expensive at the park?
About the same price as at The Disney Store. Bought 2 recently and with the exchange rate they were about £63 so actually a little cheaper as The Disney Store ones are £70 now.
thats not bad i guess, were they very large or just large if that makes sense??????
They're probably about the same size as the big Disney Store ones, or maybe slightly bigger. I got the Castle surrounded by the characters, and the ship with all the characters on.
Here's some pictures of my stuff including my Armani's:-

Wow they are amazing so colourful
When we went to disneyland resort paris in 2004 i got a large mickey mouse snow globe. it was mickey through the ages of the different films he has been in and it plays the mickey mouse march and has to be my favourite peice it was originally priced at 90 euros but i got it for 40 euros in the sale
My Memories
AWWW Joseph! Thats a really good answer! :D
I'd add my photos to that.
My lithogram of the villians coming out of the dunegon that I bought at WDW (and had to buy a new suitcase to bring it home!) also the haunted manison globe from our last trip to DLRP.
But memories, that's one cool answer, and one I agree with 100%!

(don't know how to post pictures else I would post a pic here!)
My Favourite Disney Merchandise is my Disney's Storybook Collection.

My favourite item is a signed certificate with Donald, Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, Minnie etc. We received the certificate for a Magical Moment "Across the miles and over the years, you'll always remember this Magical Moment from the Walt Disney World Resort". We were in Animal Kingdom and went to Restaurantosauras for lunch. We had to wait for a table (and for them to set up), we were the first ones to be seated for the afternoon sitting and all the staff and characters gave as a round of applause, characters came to our table and we got a free lunch especially for us, it was magical. It was sooooooooo unexpected and a wonderful memory.......Disney really do know how to impress. :minnie:
my brother also has that book Owain and i wish i had it too my self as its sooooooo good!
Finally got around to taking photos of my poor WTP collection.
The collection ins split into two-
Classic Winnie and Disney Winnie.
Behind the Disney WTP collection is a mirror that was made for me by a dear friends Dad. It's got all the characters on it. Unfortunately, it dominated my dressing table adn I was terrified of knocking it off, so its now used to help display my bits n bobs. On teh right is an Eeyore that steph made from a mould and painted for christmas for me, so thats pretty precious too.

I love all your photos and I think my memories of my trips have to be one of my favourite things xx
I do however have a bit of a thing for the Mickey/Minnie ears and although my collection is still small I can't wait to add to it - I keep telling hubby it's for our little one's dressing up box but little does he know !! Oh and I have a Maleficent figure, she was a limited edition of 1000 from quite a few years ago and I just love her - she is in her box at the minute but I'll get her out and take a pic, she's my favourite villain :)
My favourite item has got to be my cheshire pencil case I got from Tokyo Disneyland. It's kind of like a stuffed toy, with the body as the main part, the big plush tail on the zipper and the head is like a wallet attached to one side of the pencil case. It's adorable and everyone always comments on it!
I also love the little pen I got with a bobble cheshire cat on the top from Tokyo Disneyland and these plush mickey and minnie magnets from DisneySea.
Oh, and my brother and I got matching stuffed mickey and minnie toys from Disneyland California. They were the first souvenirs we ever got at Disneyland so they're prettty special.
Yeah, as you can probably tell I love stuffed toys, and am hoping to add to my collection in 5 days!!!!!!!
There are so many things I treasure from my visits.These are probably the two I like most.
My Commemorative Pass from the opening of the Park .When I arrived on the opening day I decided to buy a regular ticket so the stub would not be torn off.

Also I am a member of the Disney Vacation Club and in 2004 we had our Member Homecoming where we had 3 fabulous days like VIPs in the Parks.Just to give you an idea how it was The Magic Kingdom was closed for us one night with all the attractions open with a special performance of Spectromagic .This was our ID for the 3 days.
(//http://www.paolorobert.mynetcologne.de/dvc-homecoming-low.jpg)
I also have lots of things but the two most special things I bought at DLRP would have to be;
-the cristal cube with the castle and fireworks in Mickey-shape in it (it was the biggest one available and I only saw the smaller ones in the park afterwards)
-a watch wich I bought in may 2007, a limited edition for the 15th anniversary with the silhouette of Mickey cut-out, so you can see the interior mechanism of the watch... little hard to explain but i'll try to post pics as soon as possible!
:wink:
probably my favorite disney thing i own is my World Of Wonder (WOW) talking mickey mouse.
he was a b-day prezzy when i was about 5
You put a casette tape in him and he talks, and moves his eyes and mouth. you can link it to a goofy i have goofy too but i bought that one from ebay and hes quite tatty. Unfortunatly mickey dosent work properly anymore. (i keep promising him a trip to the dolls hospital but always forget) I cryed my eyes out when i found that he wasnt working. I also have his sorcerers aprentice outfit (robe, hat, and shoes) he wears a yellow tee with a mickey mouse club style patch and his classic white and red shorts.
I love him dearly and i would never ever give him up. i bought a seccond one beacuse he came with goofy and i had to put a pin in one so i knew which was my original one because the thought of getting rid of him by mistake was unbareable!
:P My best Disney item now has to be my giant Cheshire Cat plush.
