And it’s precisely for that reason that we want to bring home something to commemorate the time — a souvenir. If there’s one thing we know about Disney World, it’s that not all souvenirs are created equal. Now, that got us thinking about which souvenirs from Disney World were your favorites ever, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!

What do you think?

Let’s dive into some of your top responses!

The Timeless Keyring

We’re kicking this off with our reader Sarah, who shared, “I bought myself a metal keyring with Mickey Mouse on, around 25 years ago. Still have it on my keyring, it’s worn but I still love it!”

Sometimes, it’s the smallest items that hold the biggest magic. Sarah’s keyring is proof that even a little piece of Disney can make every day feel special.

The Iconic Disney Ladies Hoodie

Next up, Karen shared, “The 2013 Disney ladies rainbow pastel hoodie for my daughter, granddaughter and myself. It’s beautiful!!! Worn often and still in excellent condition. We get sooo many compliments on them. Also got the boys version in dark navy for my grandson. It was a magical trip!!!”

There’s nothing like a cozy and stylish hoodie to keep the Disney magic alive. It’s fantastic to hear that Karen’s multi-generational pastel masterpieces have clearly become family favorites, and they’re still earning compliments a decade later!

Mini Mouse Ears Santa Hat

Mary shared, “In 2007 at Mickey’s Christmas party on Main Street I purchased a cloth Santa hat with Mini Mouse ears and polkadot bow. Wore it last Thanksgiving week in WDW so many asked about it and wanted to buy one. Will wear it in WDW this Christmas week.”

Bo’s clever winter accessory is proof that Disney nails the practicality-meets-whimsy game. Who needs boring winter wear when you can have Mickey Mouse keeping you warm?

Disney Pin Collections

Next, we’ve got Erin who shared, “I love collecting and trading pins. Special events, new attraction and land openings and trading with cast members. I remember where each one came from and it’s great to reminisce.”

A Silhouette of the Perfect Trip

Tash shared, “I love my silhouettes studio frame with the cutouts of my 3 children in it. It will always remind me of the trip of a lifetime that we took this year.”

Tash’s silhouette frame captures more than just her children’s profiles – it captures the heart of an unforgettable family vacation. That means theses silhouettes are classic, personal, and timeless.

Sleeping Beauty Journal

Stephanie shared, “The Sleeping Beauty journal. It looks like the book used in the beginning of the film. It’s now my dream journal because I basically dream every night. It was also cute that my initials match and it has the initials SB on every page.”
