Talking Poll Time! Best Disney Souvenirs??

Less than two weeks!! I'm so excited. I want to bring home some great souvenirs so I was wondering:
What was your favorite souvenir you ever got at Disney, and why? Where is the best place to look for some really cool stuff? We are going to be near DT Disney, and will be visiting all 4 parks.
Thanks!

I love my jacket that has Mickey silohouettes lining the hood and cuffs. I happened to see a woman on the bus with one and I kept looking and looking until I finally got one in a gift shop at DHS.

My coffee mugs. I get a new one each year so ever morning I get a little magic.
I have a Tigger, villains and Tink. My most prized is the photo pass cd and the shots they got of us all.

The kids really loved everything in their mystery bags for the discount store in DTD

Hubby's is the antenna ball on the van (stitch) and the puzzle we had done in Epcot, it's a photo of us.

For the husband, it's the pins--read all about it here:Williams Family: Todd's Pins

For me, a must is a Christmas tree ornament and piece of art. Read more here:Williams Family: What We Collect


For the boy--any new toy, a light chaser, legos, cars, lightsaber. . . whatever he is into at the time.

Here's info on our Souvenires in general: Williams Family: Souvenirs

Happy shopping!

I am soooo bad - I just love it all!! I especially love the silly hats, like my christmas tree hat from a few years ago. It's adorned with hanging little plush characters (Mickey, etc.), and it lights up! Where to buy the best stuff? Hard to say, since I've found great things everywhere. Hollywood Studios always seems to have great apparel, and I'd go to Epcot for interesting things from different countries. Downtown Disney for the Christmas store, and the resort shops for resort specific souvenirs.

No matter where we go, I get an ornament for our tree and things like pencils/pens, note pads etc. that I use a lot and I'm always reminded of our time at WDW or anyplace else.

My favorite purchased souvenier is my Mickey head pattern scarf. Not a winter scarf, but an every-day-part-of-your-outfit-scarf.

But my very most favorite souveniers are the photos I take when I'm there.

Well we are a pin collecting family and I try to get a pin from every resort I have stayed at! I also am a T-shirt and jeans sort of girl so of course my closet is over flowing with pictures of that oh-so-special mouse.
Usually what I will do now though is pick one some what pricey gift. This year it was a watch (pricey for is the $100 I spent on it since I went a bit pin crazy). However in December I am hoping to save enough to get myself a Dooney (I am about as purse crazy as I am pin crazy)

For most used items, we get the blankets. We use them year round in the family room and the den.

With our last trip I picked up a print of the HM and I plan to prick up another print from another ride this time. This will be my new collection

I got canvas bags and use those all the time as well as a blanket.

Another vote for Christmas ornaments. We pick one every year. I am also a fan of Mickey jewelry and have 3 watches, earrings and several charms for my Pandora bracelet. Nothing very pricey, just fun. I also love love love the cowboy style hat I got at AK!! My hubby's likes tshirts, and my kids like pins and Vinylmation. DS also really likes Jack Skellington. And oh yeah, we all have various Mouse Ears. I love Mouse Gear at Epcot and the jewelry store on Main Street in MK, the store at AK in Africa that is near Tusker House (across from it, cannot think of the name), Villians in Vogue at HS and the Poly gift shop on the first floor. And the Christmas store at Downtown Disney (and at MK!)

I bought a cloth backpack from DL in 06, and I use it for amusement parks, camping with the Scouts, etc.
This past year, I bought the camel-colored fleece jacket with classic Pooh embroidery. I love it and wear it constantly!
And the zippered canvas bags...I always bring my own bags for shopping, so I use them for that and also as carry-ons sometimes.
