Do you have anything "Special" from the disneyland paris parks? Wether it is something you have bought or been given?
I have got my special "folder" (Thank you Kristof :)) that contains everything you could want!
Whats inside? Eurostar tickets, RER tickets, Hotel confirmation slips, Old 15th annual pass, Halloween soiree ticket from 08, Halloween soiree wristband, Fastpasses for every ride every year (Im good for getting a fastpass and forgetting about it! pretty sure i almost have every time slot too!), "Fastpass ticket" (Special ticket i was given July 2009 as a "Birthday present" when i renewed my annual pass), Panoramagique ticket, Various park maps and "information" leaflets" (for some reason i have 14 maps/guides from 2008 xD) Magicforum photo hunt (Limited edition!), Various items from the pack kristof gave us all at halloween and my magicforum "ID tag" from Kristof! :P
As well as my "magic pack" i have my "Cocktail glass" from the disney hotel in 2004, From sketch to reality book and my 2 little figures that sit on top of my computer!

I don't have anything special of Disneyland Paris. I have some park maps from 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 and other stuff from the parks like the hotel vouchers, cups, brochures, tickets or fast passes. I also have "From Sketch to Reality", both WDI books and many other Imagineering books, and souvenir books from DLP 2000, 2006, 2008 and WDW 2008.
But I have some cool things from D23 and WDW:
For example personalized park maps for all four WDW parks, Disney Dollars and of course my seven D23 magazines and the goodies which come with the magazines. In addition I got a D23 pin and a great Mickey Mouse poster from D23.
When we have been to WDW a CM gave us some WDW buttons, golf balls and magnets, because he was so happy to meet some guys from Austria. He spent some time in Austria and he was glad to talk German again. That's why these things have a special place.
I have a little disney box that has everything from our first trip in, the booking confirmation, the envelope our plane tickets came in, our park passes, our hotel easypass, maps, literally everything, and it now contains all the stuff we have got so far for our xmas trip, gonna need a bigger box soon, i also have a shlef just for my disney collectable figures, i love all my little special things from disney, seems daft to some people, but they ring good memories to me, forget to mention i have every receipt we got whilst there :D xx :belle:
I have a decent sized collection of 1992 Euro Disney things such as: commemorative ticket, plastic park ticket, travel clock, Opening cast member coin thing, bumper stickers, C'est Magique cd, mug, souvenier book, small plate and pins. (there is more somwhere but I cant remember what)
I also have the From Sketch to Reality Book park maps, coasters and some random things that i picked up from the restaurants such as reciept envelopes and paper coasters :P
And I have a Mickey Plush that i bought in the village that stands guard over my bed :lol:
oooh, but my favourite thing is my ToT keyring that has a fake room key and room tag on it :D
It all lives on a special shelf of my book case but is currently gathering dust in the attic whilst my bedroom is being re-modeled! :oops:
Hmmm... I have plenty of "useless" items from the past 18 years, dozens of printed items, tickets, etc. I treasure an old Bella Notte paper placemat that featured antique Roman busts enjoying pasta their own ways, drawn in a style reminiscent of Ward Kimball. It's nothing amazing, but a fun item that I thought worth saving back then.
Then I have a Santa Fe minibar (minus fridge) to store my food in, I guess that's pretty... special...
Over the past years I've also saved a few smaller items from being thrown away by DLP... I won't go into detail as I guess I wasn't exactly supposed to salvage them, but I just didn't have the heart to see them end up in a trash compactor. Sorry, DLP!
i have my disney scrap book =]
its kind of 'in progress' at the moment, and probably will be until i return from disney in janurary next year, but until then i plan on continuing to complete it as far as possible... i will post some pictures showing it so far though =]
Wouldn't exactly call mine a 'scrapbook' or a 'folder', more of a 'stuff-I-have-from-Disney-lying-around-the-house' :lol: We have a photo album (nope not on the PC, an actual album!) with old photos and some park maps inside, a few other maps hidden away in the box I keep my earphones, usbs etc, a small collection of DLP fridge magnets, an old DLP biscuit tin I keep my PS3/Xbox stuff in, an unopened bottle of wine in the 15th bottle, an unopened bottle of Coca-Cola with the 15th wrapping (how sad :P ), a few random things crammed into my wallet(s) like old tickets, fastpasses and a receipt for a hat in adventureland :P and my Sketch To Reality and Imagineering books beside me here on the a coffee table.
I may have left some things out but If I remember I'll add it to my list :thumbs:
EDIT: Oh just remembered, I have a ToT and a Sorcerer Mickey hat keyring on my keys :P
Wow all your things sound so precious and your ever so lucky to have them :)
to me the most special thing I could ever get from Disney is the memories of just incredible times.. so although its not bought in Disney as such..
all the pictures that we took from my most recent trip last october with my drama academy.. i made this on my bedroom walll...
(//http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af258/Justlikewedreamedit/closeupp.jpg)
Now whenever i look it reminds me of the best trip of my life <3 :mickey2:
haha that reminds me, i also have the disney wall =] its one of the walls in my roon dedicated to disney, its got an old disneyland park map from... november 06/jan 07 up there, a drawing of mickey mouse, another drawing of piglet, an onride photo from ToT, and some other miscellanious stuff, i will post pictures of the wall, and of my scrap book after the glue has dried on the front of it =] (i wanted tinks wings to sprkle XD
I have a huge ottoman at the end of my bed full of Disneyland Paris stuff! Old maps park, tickets, napkins etc loads of stuff!
I've got sketch to reality in english and several other books!
we've got loads of different glasses and snowglobes, but my favourite is the one I got for my 21st!
My friends went to Paris just before my 21st and got me an engraved glass that is 15th anniversary on one side and "happy 21st birthday Sam" on the other and Mickey as the stem!
on my trip last year I bought this canvas picture for my wall, it's kind of special because when I look at it and see the castle it reminds me of being there....
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/Disneyland%20sep%2009/S1052573.jpg)
I also have my scrap book that I keep my plane, bus, hotel, park tickets in, receipts maps of hotels/parks and anything I pick up on my trip it's special too! :D
Some of the pins I traded I feel are special because When I look at the pin I remember exactly where I traded it and who with etc which is cool!:)
Aw thats a beautiful canvas!!
ive never done pin trading but i think i would like tooo!! :D
Quote from: "_Natalie_x"Aw thats a beautiful canvas!!
ive never done pin trading but i think i would like tooo!! :D
Aw thanks Natalie, I love your heart shaped photo display, very original idea and totally cool!! :thumbs: I really need a bigger bedroom ;) I have to say i love the canvas too, although sulley kinda ruins the bottom of the castle, I think they tried too hard to squeeze in too many characters lol esp sulley and also snow white/prince ..i miss dlrp and i dont think i will get to go this year...stupid money and having none of it :P
Hahah ooh i have the same problem! I was trying to get friends together to go for halloween.. but travel is so expensive!! :( ill go some time (Y) cant stay away for too long !! xx
thats a lovely canvis, and my pins... theres only a few... and i honestly think i bought all of them... lol
and im not going this year either.... roll on jan/feb 2011... when im going back to the magic, i cant wait!
When I went for the 15th Anniversary, I bought a Disneyland Photo Album. It has all the DLRP photos that my family took when we were there - from 2004-2010. I hope to finish it if and when I go again to DLRP. It just helps me to remember the magic from when we there and I hope that even at university, the opening of the photo album can fill the room with all the disney magic present in the photos.
The pins I also bought this year at DL are special to me because most of them are my favourite disney characters.
Most people think that my obsession over disney and the disney parks is childish but they are a part of me. When I go to university, everything disney will be coming with me - the photo album, my pins, my black and white mickey mouse photo frames and they will keep me reminded of disneyland paris and every little bit of disney magic. :D
I've just checked my Disney stuff, because after reading this topic I was interested in what is left of all the things.
Here are some pictures of the things I have found. The rest like WDW Dreamfastpasses, WDW and DLRP tickets and other things from the parks were used for the photo albums.

I also have Disneyland Paris catalogues from 2000 until now and some nice brochures from Adventures by Disney, Disney Vacation Club, Disney Wedding, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line and Disneyland, Disney College Programs or the World of Disney Stores. I got all these things during my time in the US.
wow thats quite the impressive collection dagobert, i wish mine was as extensive as your is, esp the catalogues they would hav came in so handy lately with me trying to get my disney scrap book done...
Like everyone I have lots of maps , guides , books etc from Paris and the US parks , some going back years ! A huge collection of the Disney Magazine /Disney News ; and a lot of Paris preopening stuff , pins , Mickey hats , books etc , must photo it to add to the souvenir section !
In 2002 on our first trip at Christmas I was very taken with the napkins at Caseys, all festive they were advertising the Christmas season so we had a few spare and one lives permanently in the zip up section of my suitcase and comes out every year with a cry of "Look remember this" as we pack for the next trip. We also have a set of place mats from HNY, just the paper ones they put out for breakfast but when we got home we had them laminated and now use them at breakfast ourselves

That's a good idea. I wish I had that idea a few years back when we have been to WDW's Pop Century. One morning we got beautiful place mats, they featured the hotel with the fabulous five. Unfortunately I didn't take them with me, because I didn't know what to do with them.

omg that sounds like such a good idea!!!! i'm gonna have to copy off you :P (if you dont mind of course)
Wow thats all such wonderful stuff !! :)
I love how neat everything is too! Whenever i bring back leaflets and park maps etc they always get so crumpled in my bag ! Although i still have one on my wall to rememeber the trip :D x
One of the coolest things I've got was given to me by my dad. He works in travel and was at the World Travel Market held in Orlando this year. Disney held an after hours party for the convention goers where everyone got a special ticket/pass on a lanyard with a lenticular hologram on the front and a list of activities and a menu on the back. It's very cool :D

I always take extra ones that I keep in the room, straight into the suitcase, so they make it back in good shape... ;)

Im sure it is valid......but I personally have never seen another one before so I suppose its worth quite a lot now.It would be interesting to know how many are still intact.It holds many memories for me.
britincgn the ticket looks lovely. It must be fun having it in your collection :D
thats pretty cool XD
I have loads of stuff from the last three years of going to DLRP. Including loads of free toys they gave my little girl at the Disneyland Hotel because she was so scared of the characters during our character dinner!
My favourite things are from 1992, when even at the tender age of 9 I had the good sense to swipe all the free stuff heh heh. I have a sealed packet of coloured plastic cutlery, napkins, a map, a "Euro Disney" autograph book, a "Euro Disney" commemorative book, a plastic park entry ticket (adults and childrens) and a purple sugar sachet.
Now I've found this forum I don't feel like such a freak for keeping random packets of sugar for 18 years...no offence ;)
We have lots of things sewing kits, postcards, writing paper from the Disneyland Hotel, a napkin from the Disneyland Hotel that the staff gave us when our daughter was ill (they were really nice to her) soap, shampoo and shower gel coming out of our ears!!
But my favourite thing is a letter addressed to my girls with 2 signs pictures of Mickey and co - my girls had decided one Christmas to send mickey and minnie mouse a Christmas card so they made a card and a drawing and we posted them and didn't think any more about it then on Christmas eve they received a letter thanking them for their card!! :D I can not tell you how excited we all were it made our Christmas :D
