I bought last time a hat similar to minnies above for my best friend. And what should I say, she wears it proudly :mrgreen:

To be honest when I arrived for the first visit I was blown away by all the merchandise and didn't buy anything till day 3. However when I did I went nuts.
DLRP from sketch to reality
Une Journee a Disneyland Paris CD
T-shirts, a tie, a watch the list goes on, problem was my bag wasn't big enough to pack it all in so I had to buy a big Disney suitcase as well, LOL.

Nowdays I have learnt though. Tip for anyone, during the year in the run up to my trip rather than throwing out my old clothes I keep them to take, wear them for the day at DLRP then when I'm back at the hotel put them in a bin bag and throw them. That way my bag actually gets lighter and has the space needed for all the souveniers.

gee, guys, you know I've always thought I was about the most craziest Disney-Freak in the world, but now that I got to know you all, I have to say, no I am not!  :wink:  :wink:  :mrgreen:

and I am so glad I got to know you! I have always thought, that there must be something wrong with me...  :oops:  :roll:  


anyway, to get back to the topic:
my first merchandise must have been a t-shirt saying Euro-Disney on the back and in front was a big Mickey and the `92. and a very small mickey-plush, that I have dragged around with me all the time; it was my lucky-charm through all my tests and my year abroad in the states and so on... It is even on my Senior Pictures!

guess I could take my wedding-dress and then run around Phantom Manor before disposing it into the garbage (might need a big container though)...  :wink:  :wink:  :wink:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

My 1st visit was in 1991, to the visitor centre in Marne La Vallee.  I bought a T-shirt (Mickey, surrounded by a circle of European flags) and post cards of the concept art for Adventure Isle, the Castle, Phantom Manor and Big Thunder.

My first post opening visit April 12,1992, I was pretty broke. I bought a hard bound book (mainly has pics of EDL under construction, WDW pics, and concept art), some more post cards, and a CD.  That was all I could afford at the time. Now that I have money, there is very little I want.

As for the plates, I bought my wife the Auberge de Cindrillon teapot, 6 cups and saucers and dessert plates (that was in 1999 I think).  So they have had them since. I am now made I didn't buy service for 12 of the full set  

[Captain Pan]

Makes me think...
 :idea:
Winnie the Pooh Framed Picture Type thing... Has a Pooh in what looks to be enamel pin on a backing of a how to draw Pooh. I bought it for my Girlfriend for Valentines Day as its the day we arrived home.
Tigger Hoodie, Grey with the catchpharse 'Always a cool cat' under the Picture of Tigger.
Chip (or was it Dale) Plush Keychain. (Valentines day pressie for Girlfriend)
Chip and Dale Best Friends Plush (Received As a Pressie)
Buzz Lightyear Comunicator (Recieved as a Pressie)
LGM Plush
Tinkerbell Purse (Birthday Pressie for a friend)
I bought more... I just can't remember what...

I was REALLY good in DLP until our last night there... then I went absolutely MENTAL in Disney Village and spent about 70 euros! The first thing I ever bought was one of those bottle toppers with the Mickey ears, I brought that back for my parents with a bottle of the 15th anniversary wine! :wink: First thing I bought for me was one of the huge 15th anniversary mugs.... I've still got the same autograph book that I had in WDW three years ago and it came to DLP with me last year - I'm not buying a new one till I've filled it completely!

[The Butlin Boy]

I can't remember exactly, because I was probably only about 1 year old, but I do remember having a plush flounder bought for me at DLRP, I loved it so much  :oops:  :mrgreen:

[MizzRabbit]

I was there in '92 with Kodak (my mom worked there) before Disneyland was open to the public. It was only on special invitation only. So it was kind of a big deal. We had VIP passes and a special introduction which was cool. I was only about 8 or 9 but I remember it well. I loved it so much and out visits to DLRP are my most treasured childhood memories. Well, back to the merchandise... My mom bought me a Minnie Mouse dress and Ears. I also got an autograph book, customised Mickey ears with my name on it, a Eurodisney tape and book with pictures of the park, and oddly enough I remember getting this really shiny silver pencil with the castle and tinkerbell on it. We also bought a Minnie Christmastree ornament that I still have on my tree every year.
