My Favorite item is an opening day Ticket to Epcot in a really cool foil envelope. No biggie, but I love it.

Hard to pick favorites as I am an avid collector more than I like to admit - but I will list 3 items: 1/ My DVC membership - because being a member since 1993 has brought so many happy memories to me with my family - and helped us spend great times together and even find another vacation spot in Vero Beach. So I guess my member card could be one souveneir 2/ My set of pins from the WDW 20th celebration. Before pins were a 'hot' item ...I got into finding each one and hunting them down at the attractions. They were a whopping $3 each -- but the complete set reminds me of how much fun that was - as well as the visit during the 20th was very special to our family for a lot of reasons. 3/ Most recently purchased an Olszewski Cinderella Castle. I'm tellin' ya I get more compliments from people on it than on other Disney items I have displayed costing xx times more. It is just wonderful and when lit up ...just captures the spirit of being there........

So while it didn't come home with me from a trip its my favorite because of the thought she put into finding something unique and that would really mean something to me.
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer My favorite is a series of photos taken of my DD in Camp Minnie-Mickey with Minnie. It was the Christmas after 9/11 and we had the park pretty much to ourselves. Minnie played with DD for over an hour -- hide and seek, dancing, spinning her around. That series of photos (about 50) is a great reminder of what happened to our country and what how a simple trip to WDW gave us back some of the joy.

Originally Posted By danyoung My first trip to Epcot (then EPCOT Center) was the week that it opened.

Originally Posted By tonyanton danyoung...I have that EPCOT wheel-map guide too...really neat! My favourite is probably my Mickey Mouse backscratcher, with "Walt Disney World" in the old pre-96 font. Also, the certificate I got from an Empress Lilly character breakfast, making me an honorary member of the "character breakfast crew." Really nice artwork and a nice memory of the former grand Empress Lilly.
Originally Posted By Fe Maiden I have a coin from the MK that I must have gotten on our first trip in '74. On one side is the resort logo with the castle and on the other side is divided amongst each land with a corresponding attraction. I just came across it recently and two things jumped out at me. It had no Space Mountain but did have 20K. Honestly though, my favorite souvenirs are the pictures we bring home.
Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney DanYoung, I have probably a few dozen of those EPCOT Center attractions wheels located in various places. I thought they were very cool at the time, but I don't think they lasted more than six months or so and then they went to traditional guideBOOKS, unlike the simplistic maps they began using in the mid-90s.

Originally Posted By danyoung > then they went to traditional guideBOOKS, unlike the simplistic maps they began using in the mid-90s.< I have some of the guide books too, going back to DL in the 60's. They were so much cooler than the current simple maps. There was detail in there. You could study and learn exactly where every shop on Main Stree was, where the kiosks were, much more detail than just where the attractions are. I really miss 'em.

Of course they both really take a back seat to the many photos I cherish. My first photo is of a 20 y.o. in a yellow tank top(braless not that you could actually tell) and hip huggers with hair to her waist wearing Mickey ears in front of the castle(I loved that castle from the first time I saw it). The year 1973(the braless part should have given it away). We were there for the first anniversary and I officially caught the bug! The last? There is no last as I plan to take and buy many, many more.
