I just came across a small, ceramic, sitting Minnie figurine that my first boyfriend gave me in the fourth grade while on a school field trip to DL. I can't bear to ever get rid of it for a few reasons - mainly, it's one of my earliest DL souvenirs that I still have.

I just wondered (and YES...I AM nosy :D ) if anyone would like to share theirs.

I have 25th, 30th, and 35th coins. We have a few old ticket books from the pre-passport days. Old programs are the best. I've got a wall poster map from the 60s. My father dated a mousketeer so I have quite a few Mickey Mouse Club old-school memorabilia. I'm a sucker for theme park memorabilia and never get rid of anything. :)

I own a 30 year stuffed tigger. It is very high quality compared to the ones they have now. The stripes are a lot more detailed and are darker. The fur is also a very rich orange instead of that lighter type orange they have now. Here are the pictures:

I have a 35th puple coin, an wall map from around 1982, I have this other map which is about 8 1/2" by 11". It has a disc in the middle, and you can turn it to find each attraction, it's light green and I think I got it in 1974.
I also have a park guide from my mom's first trip in 1956.

I have a copy of the Herb Ryman rendering of Disneyland! It's pretty cool. (The one that Walt and Herb drew over one weekend)

Thin plastic bangles from the Adventureland Bazaar, circa 1967. My daughters actually wear them now.

A 8" ballerina doll from the Main Street doll shop, also circa 1967. She's just lovely.

I have a pirates head bank from the original pirate shop in NOS that my mom bought the first year POC was opened. I don't know the actual year it was bought but it's really cool and my mom gave it to my son before she passed away a few years ago.

I have some ticket books. I don't know if this counts but I have an aerial photo of Disneyland taken in 1955. I didn't take the picture in fact I wasn't even born yet in 1955

A placemant from the Galley (Capt'n Hook's Pirate Ship restaurant) with a tunaburger recipe on it. (I know it's here somewhere. I just haven't seen it in a while. Probably folded in a recipe book in a box somewhere.)

Hee hee, I found a Splash Mountain tank top in a drawer the other day. It's very 80's style, lots of neon colors and it's the baggy type of tank top you'd wear over a tube top. It must be from the year it opened, 87 I believe?

I also have an extensive figurine collection. Not the fancy kind they sell now for like $100 a pop, but the older cheaper version. I stopped collecting them, but it's still nice to look through.

I think it's my etched glass Mickey Mouse mug with my name on it. I also have my silhouette, but I was at least 4 or 5 when I got that... I think the mug is probably older, though I'm not so sure.

I have a Winnie the Pooh coin bank that I think I purchased on my honeymoon back in 1975. The bank is about 6" high and is ceramic. The best part is that the original price tag is still on the bottom of it. The price shown is $1.75 + tax. It sits high on a shelf in my home...I don't want to take the chance of it getting broke.
My mom also has several "unused" tickets from the old A-B-C-D-E ticket books. I told her to "will" them to me someday... :)

I have "Station Agent" and "Brakeman" hat badges from the earliest days of the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad--titles they had in addition to "Conductor." Both circa 1955.

I have a real fur coonskin (rabbit top with real raccoon tail) Davy Crockett hat from my first trip to DL probably in the early 80's. You won't find anything like that in the parks now! My kids love the way it feels.

The 2" glass bottle with the penny in it, penny dated 1969. Does anyone
remember these? The bottle is clear glass about 2 inches high with the
words "Disneyland" in blue letters across the front, and a little cork in the
top of the bottle, the penny inside was dated the year you visited. Do they
still make these?
