Souvenirs
Before I write my final installment later today, I thought I would just quickly show you what we purchased in souvenirs this trip. The kids' biggest highlight this trip were their landyards and pins. This was the 1st trip we had ever pin traded and they loved it.
In addition to the pins, I picked up a couple small things for the kids and for myself for Christmas gifts. (I am not big on buying a lot of gifts or presents throughout the year for no reason...I prefer to save them for Christmas gifts, getting my December to-do list whittled down in the process.
)
First off, both kids got some Disney drawing books. I don't have a photo of them, but they are a decent price and an awesome gift for any would-be artists. My kids love these and found them under the tree at Christmas.
Declan also received a 2nd complete monorail set to expand the track on the one he had (and a 2nd monorail to add to the track...now we have two monorails that loop simultaneously). He also received the Contemporary Hotel which the monorails travel through. Once again, these were Christmas gifts.
I also bought Declan some monorail accessories, as well as some transportation buses and ride vehicles:
I usually always buy Katie some books from the wonderful shops in France in Epcot, and this trip was no exception.
I also bought her this beautifully illustrated book from the Princess and the Frog:
And some pens and notebook and a cute bag from the Mitsukoshi store in Japan:
For myself, I bought some mickey head post-it notes:
A thick and wonderful Imagineering book:
And a Disney Treasures anthology that is absolutely incredible.
Here is the product description from amazon: Selected from the vast archives of The Walt Disney Company, this historic collection includes handwritten letters and notes of Walt's, rare character sketches from the 1930s and 1940s, replicas of Disneyland's opening- day tickets, photos, movie theater programs, comic strips, greeting cards, commissary menus, and other treasures, reproduced in facsimile form. Many of these special features are designed to be removable so readers can touch and hold masterfully reproduced bits of history. In addition, the book comes with a 60-minute CD that features previously unheard audio of Walt Disney, radio commercials from the 1950s, and never-before-released sound tracks from the parks' most popular attractions.
And finally, a DVD showing the history and development of Walt Disney World.
Once again, all of these gifts were put away as soon as we got home and ultimately found their way beneath our Christmas tree in December.
However, the one gift that I purchased for myself and actually used in the Parks at the end of our trip, and once again in October was this little Mickey head bag.
It is a great park bag.

And there were plenty of other great times and happy memories.
