If you follow me on Instagram, or have read my Disney Diaries so far, you'll already know I took my first trip to Disney at the beginning of March, and of course spent slightly more money shopping for souvenirs and gifts for my family than I expected! I read so many of the posts before I went so I knew what to save up for, and what shops to specifically try and find.
♥ Sorcerer Mickey ♥
I knew that I wanted to pick up a plush but hadn't decided which one. There was so many on my list and I honestly could've come home with a suitcase full of them, but when I saw this one I had to get him. Sorcerer Mickey is one of my favourites as a kid I remember watching Fantasia, and he's one of the main characters I remember from Disney World as a little girl.
♥ Mickey Pen ♥
I also knew I wanted to pick up a Mickey shaped pen, as I couldn't find any anywhere in the UK or online. There was so many to choose from but my favourite was the black Mickey with the little bow tie. I wish I'd picked up a 25th Anniversary one as well, but I'm definitely going to get more on my next trip!
♥ Personalised Glass ♥
As it was my 18th birthday while I was in Disney, I wanted to get something special to keep, that I knew would remind me specifically of my birthday. In the Liberty Arcade, we saw a small shop with loads of gorgeous glasses, and ornaments and I loved the design of the castle and the 25th Anniversary writing. I then realised it could be engraved so I decided to keep it simple and just get my name and '18th'.
♥ Chip and Dale Notebook and Card ♥
As Chip and Dale are one of my favourites, and I absolutely fell in love with this notebook when I saw it! There was quite a lot of different merchandise with this print but being the stationary addict I am I had to get the notebook! Sadly we didn't get photos with them as they weren't doing any meet and greets when we were there, so I picked up this card instead which I thought was adorable.
♥ Character Photos ♥
When we booked our holiday, we added on a Photopass which meant everytime we met a character or a ride that had a 'Photopass Opportunity' our card could be scanned and we got a digital copy of that photo as it was cheaper than buying the printed photo each time. When we met Mickey Mouse, we loved the photo so much we decided to buy one, with this gorgeous frame.
♥ Castle Necklace ♥
I'd seen so many people on Instagram and on YouTube wearing these, and I was so happy when I found it, I love how simple and classic it is, and it's probably my favourite purchase.
♥ Mickey Earrings ♥
While searching for the Castle necklace in the rows and rows of amazing jewellery, I also came across these. They're smaller and more delicate than they look and I loved the fact they were birthstones.
♥ Pins ♥
Pins are one of my favourite things to collect as they don't take up a lot of room, and they're definitely one of the cheaper souvenirs to buy. There's always so many that I could buy whether it's online or in different shops, but I decided my favourites and bought them before I changed my mind! I went for the Sequoia Lodge one as that was the hotel we stayed in, the 25th Anniversary one as it was obviously the 25th celebrations when we were there and I wanted some merchandise from that range. Also, the Happy Birthday one was chosen by my boyfriend as we each bought a pin for each other (I bought the Tower of Terror one for him!)
♥ Mickey Mug ♥
I have a slight obsession with mugs...especially Disney mugs. There was so many to choose from but I managed to (somehow) limit myself to just one. I went for the black glittery Mickey Mouse mug, with the glittery Disneyland logo on the back as well.
♥ Castle Postcards ♥
With the weather not being very sunny (massive understatement) our photos of the castle weren't bad, but just a little grey, so I wanted some sunny photos for our scrapbook. The Illuminations one looks incredible as well and does the fireworks more justice than the photos we took.
♥ More.. Postcards ♥
While looking for the Castle Postcards, I found these postcards with a collage of the main attractions from each land. I thought these would be perfect for my scrapbook and I loved the idea of them.
The same theming as the Land Postcards, they had one for Disney Village and one for the Disney Hotels as well as two different Walt Disney Studio cards.
♥ Collector Coins ♥
One of my other favourite souvenirs was these different gold coins. The machines were dotted around the parks and the Village with each having a different design, you put 2 euros in and the coin came out. We picked up the 2018 one, and also the Star Tours one as it was Season of the Force when we went. I wish that we'd got more of these, but I hope it something they continue to do.
♥ Badges ♥
From City Hall there are various badges you can get for different celebrations, birthdays etc. and are all completely free. I picked up a birthday badge which I loved wearing, and the Cast Members and Characters interactions were great while wearing it. We also asked for a 1st Visit badge, but they had sadly run out :( They kindly offered to make one for us from a different badge which I thought was so lovely of them!
And that's all I picked up at Disney this trip! I hope you enjoyed and thank you for reading,

I'm so excited to go back to Disneyland in August, I went 10 years ago so I still have my "15 Magical Years" coin so I hope the 25th anniversary ones are still there. I still have my Pluto autograph book and a Squirt plush!
