What do you collect?

These are some great collections!

We get an ornament (or two!) every trip so I guess we are collecting those. We have started getting some for what my son is interested in that year (this year we got him a Buzz and Woody ornament) and plan on giving them all to him when he's older.

My husband started collecting the small stuffed Mickey's a few years ago and I think we are up to about 30! They are all hanging in my son's room!

I guess now im collecting Pokemon cards with my son. Jess HATES it... lol, but its something im actually enjoying with my son.

I am a cheap skate and collect free things like park maps and show times etc. That is because I know if I start collecting something with a cost I shall be bankcrupt within weeks.

I do have some Jim Shore figures, I have all the Seven Dwarfs and two mickey mouse figures.

I really, really want a small replica of the Mickey & Walt 'Partners' statue which I saw in Disneyland Paris a few years ago. I wish I bought it then, as now I cannot find it anywhere.

I have two vinylmation and plan to buy only two on my visit in September lol.

I also have a limited edition poster of the Cinderella castle and tower of terror.

I do have a few pins but I only buy ones I really, really like lol.

If I could I would have a house full of disney

today while going through all of my stuff and packing, I realized that I collect decorative wine glasses. You know the ones with the paintings and stuff on them? Apparently over the past 2 years I've collected 8...my friends must think I'm an alcoholic since they keep buying them for me!

Rocks! Sometimes polished, sometimes not.

I grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario (4 hours north of Duluth), and there is an amethyst mine there. I have an amethyst clock, book ends, paper weights, huge hunks of amethyst in the garden, etc. That set me on a path to collect rocks from our travels. Instead of buying t-shirts or tourist stuff, I try and find rocks that are particular to the area we are visiting. It makes for some very strange conversations going through customs sometimes. "That bag weighs a ton! What have you got in there, rocks?" Um, actually, yes.

I have been collecting hat pins for over 20 years. Normally I only buy one at each place I visit, but I had to splurge and buy a few of my favorite characters and attractions since the craze hit WDW. The new pins are much fancier than back in the old days but I have yet to see anything in the gift shops that comes close to rivaling how awesome my EPCOT pennant is.

My parents have collected fridge magnets for over 40 years. The last time I was at WDW, I bought the ticket book magnets for my father for the holidays. They brought back a lot of memories and will be great to share with the grandkids of what the Magic Kingdom was like when it first opened.

Oh my gosh... you had me *so* excited for a minute that Disney was making hat pins, I was going to buy one of each!!!
And then I realized what you were talking about. I am such a dork.

When I think of a "hat pin" I think of the very long straight pins with decorative bobbles on the end that women used to hold their hat onto their head by weaving it through their hair.

Okay... now I want Disney Hat Pins.

By the way... Wandering Cyclist!

We collect Stitch. We have over 100 plushies in our room.

We collect Vinylmation. Not gonna lie. We have a lot of them. Mr. Mouseaholic told me I can't purchase any more until I get rid of all my dupe traders. We tried the pin thing but I got annoyed to quickly with the lanyard being heavy and irritating my neck and Mr. Mouseaholic would only buy ones he didn't want to trade so it just didn't work for us. LOL.
