I also have a partial roll of 3M Transpore surgical adhesive tape which a nurse at the first aid station gave me for the asking. It makes terrific hinges for - you guessed it - small model planes. It also does a great job of sealing control surface gaps. Oh, and let's not for get things like found money. Scored a dollar bill in one of the HM stretching rooms and a roll of quarters near the exit to same. Different times, but I still can't help but look...

Originally Posted By DismayingObservation I figure, what the heck. If a hug at Disneyland is life-changing, it counts. Not the most tangible of souvenirs, but it works for me.

Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM I don't HAVE this, but I bid an outrageous amount of $$$$ TRYING to get a "Star Tours" barf bag on Ebay....unused, of course. Had I gotten it, that would have been a pretty offbeat souvineer.

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Yeah, and we found a rusty nail there ^^ too! It could have come from Fort Wilderness! LOL We are easily impressed. But my thoughts rather mirrored SBSBelle22's concerning Rt. 66's souvenirs. Totally awesome!!

Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 LOL see? They don't get enough attention *sigh* Yes he has two. They're names are Morty and Ferdy... a little outdated which is why I'm sure they don't get much attention. I also heard that in the comic Minnie and Daisy had nieces. Daisy's were called April, May, and June. As for Minnie's I have no idea. But yes I was so excited to see them on the cup that even my friends who know I'm a weird Disney freak about silly things like that were looking at me funny... let alone all the other people in the place

Originally Posted By monorailblue Note: finding money and then pocketing it is not finding an "offbeat souvenir". It is called "theft."

Also, I have an old, unused order ticket/card from Carnation Ice Cream Parlor and Restaurant. I have some stickers from State Fair at Disneyland (they offered them for each of the 50 states), and just about every iteration of the guidebook issued from about 1984 to 1994. I have commemorative character prize tickets from, what, the 40th?, in about 30 different characters, I think. And, I have a 35th Anniversary paper plate from Village Haus. I know there are other weird things, but that's just what's on my mind right now. Oh--I have a duck call from the Mighty Ducks giveaway promotion, too. That is easily the loudest of my souvenirs. On random occasions, I still bring it to the park, but my spouse won't let me toot it on Haunted Mansion any more.

I know, ethical behavior is not supposed to have a dollar threshold - taking a paper clip from work is the same crime as embezzling millions. That is theory. In reality, everyone has a threshold. If I found a buck and I didn't know who dropped it and no one was looking around for it, I would keep it. Same for $5 or $10. I don't know where my exact threshold is, but I would turn in a $100 bill. What are some other people's thresholds? And I'm talking about finding cash - not wallets - and you don't know who dropped it and no one is around looking for it.
