Agent Mary Ann's 10 Favorite Souvenirs to Collect at Walt Disney World

Every time I visit my happy place, I vow that I’m not going to buy as much as my last visit.  Then I step foot into World of Disney and any shot at having my luggage weigh under 50lbs for the flight home is out the window.  Too many cute things that I must have!!  Here’s a list of some of my, or my family’s favorite things to buy while enjoying our vacation at Walt Disney World. 10) Pins - This is not something I personally collect, but my daughter loves the whole process of collecting pins and pin trading.  I have to admit, many of the pins are very cool and it’s a great way to interact with other guests and Cast Members throughout the parks.  After each trip we buy a shadow box from Michael’s or Jo-Ann’s to make a wonderful snapshot keepsake of what was ‘hot’ during that vacation. 9) Pressed Pennies - The pressed penny machines are EVERYWHERE throughout all 4 parks and offer quite a few characters and themes to suit the taste of just about any collector.  During a visit while

I was told to arrive 30 minutes before my tour at the Guided Tour building next to Main Street’s City Hall.  I checked in and they gave me a cool, personalized pin to wear labeled “Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps” and a menu to choose a meal that we would eat later.  I put my pin on my left shoulder, as instructed, and ordered a “Jolly Holiday “ salad, Flourless Chocolate Cake and a Coke.  A man named Phillip came out and gave each of us an earpiece to put on and told us to adjust the volume to make sure we would be able to hear him.  Then, around 10 minutes later, when ever
