Welcome to those of you joining me from A World View and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the final stop on our Magical Blogorail.
This month's Magical Blogorail Red is discussing our "must buys" at Walt Disney World.
I really need to start buying ornaments again. I started getting those each year when I was on college program but stopped somewhere along the way and I don’t really know why.
I don’t like too many things to dust or store, so I tend to buy practical souvenirs. I love the kitchen items and really wanted a Food and Wine Festival oven mitt last trip, but Disney didn’t make me one.
My Disney wedding was over six years ago and I still always check out the latest Disney wedding merchandise. The frames, mugs, and other goodies always catch my eye, but rarely my wallet. The one exception to this was the Precious Moments wedding couple wearing ear hats. That was a must have splurge several years ago. Now I really want more of the Disney Precious Moments figures but so far I’ve been able to hold out.
No girl can have too many bags and it’s not uncommon for me to come home from WDW with a new tote or purse. I love my Disney Dooney & Bourke tote.
We go to WDW most often in the fall and I tend to buy a new jacket or sweatshirt on those trips. I bought a hoodie last year that I wear all the time in the spring and fall. While I love the convenience of buying lots of items at World of Disney, I miss the days when park merchandise was more diverse. Now, if you see a t-shirt or hat, you can probably find it in 10 other stores before the end of your vacation. I’ve enjoyed getting items over the years from specific attractions. I have a cool Space Mountain hat and wore out a Tower of Terror t-shirt during my gym rat days.
The best gift purchase I made at WDW in the last couple of years was Tink’s Mickey and Minnie plush. She loves them and sleeps with them every night and naptime. It’s the cutest thing ever when she gives Mickey (or Minnie) a big hug.

Love the sweatshirt Amy, I wear them year round since my hubby cranks up the AC in the summer. I love your Precious Moments bride and groom!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Amy! You're right about finding a lot of the same merchandise at many different stores. It makes it nice for me because I don't need to rely on the brain cells to try and remember where I saw an item, but it does take some of the adventure out of the shopping!
ReplyDeleteYou are just like us; there are so many things we like to shop for that it's impossible to pick out just one.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the purses, and I'm like you, I like my souvenirs to be things I can use, so I rarely buy things that I need to dust. :) Nice write up!
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more about the souvenirs being the same everywhere. It used to be that certain items could only be purchased in certain places. Now you almost do not need to go into every store, other than to check out the theming, not necessarily the merchandise.
