Maybe I should just go with the tried an true old fashioned charm bracelet? I know it seems silly to ask on the discussion boards, but after investing in all of those different charms it could get pretty pricey. Before I buy I just wanted to know if anyone had any problems with theirs. Thanks!

I used to have a charm bracelet when I was a little girl and I thought it would be great to have a Disney themed bracelet. Split rings would probably be more secure but the clasp seems so easy. I would just be so sad if I lost any of the charms. How much are the charms at Disneyland? I saw some on ebay but didn't want to pay more than retail. Is the starter bracelet a standard charm bracelet or is a special one that only fits the add a charm charms? Thanks.

The ones that I have bought for my friends is about $6 or $8 dollars for the bracelet and the charms are $4 each. The bracelet that I bought comes with a really cute Silver Mickey with with crystals on the front. I just love them cause they are so cute. I dont know why I have not bought one for my self. Maybe the next trip. I love to look and buy the jewelry in the show case store. Have you been in there to see those goodies. My DH just shakes his head and chringes when I go in that shop. LOL Have fun charming! I love to be obsessed with goodies like that or anything Disney will do. LOL

I didn't get to do much shopping on our last trip. The kids were always on the move to go on more rides, so anytime I slowed down to peek in a store they pulled me away. I had to do speed shopping at World of Disney on our last night. I'm sure that's what some people end up doing too. I'm so tempted to buy some charms on ebay, but I should wait until September. It would be more sentimental if they are from DL.
Originally Posted By Rebekah I love the Disney charms, too. I have a few. I have used the ease of the clasp to hook them various places. Purse loops, key ring, necklaces, and the charm bracelet. I believe the Showcase is the first shop on Main Street just past the flag pole opposite the Emporium. Rebekah.

It is kind of in the Emporium. I just love their jewelry. I think that I will start a charm bracelet for myself next time. I do have a extra bracelet right in front of me. LOL What a cute Idea Rebekah to put the charms on your purse, key chain and such. I will have to do that also. Just another reason for me to shop. LOL
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I bought three charms during our last DL trip. I use them as zipper pulls like Rebekah does. There's an adorable Thumper one on my purse right now.
Originally Posted By 4Disnee Ok now you all really have made me want to start collecting them and putting them on my jacket, key chain and such. They are so darn cute that is the problem I cant just buy one of something. I think that I now have gotten my friends about 5 each and I buy them for 3 different friends. It makes a really nice little gift from DL and its fun to buy.
Originally Posted By joeysmommy Thanks 4Disnee, I am picturing it now. Can't wait to go to DL so I can buy some of those charms. Rebekah and lacybelle- Great idea to use them as zipper pulls! Now I'll buy even more! I'm volunteering at my son's school auction tonight, maybe I need to bid on that DL vacation. I think I might need an adults only trip in May. I can't wait until September. I've got shopping to do.
