Most people think that when you go to a theme park, especially Disney parks, you have to spend lots of cash to bring the memories, and cool stuff, home. Well I've discovered that's not true. Theme parks have many treasures you get get for nothing and next to it. Most of the items I'll show you are great for things like scrapbooks and memory boxes.

Number One: Don't throw away those tickets. Ticket designs for the parks change all the time. So the one you have is a certain series and part of your trip. And besides, technically you can say you paid fifty bucks for it! Here are some of the tickets I've collected on my trips.....

You pay lots of money to eat at the parks, so get something a little longer lasting out of it. Many of the park restaraunts have different napkins with pictures. These are napkins from Islands of Adventure and one from the Sci-Fi Diner at MGM Studios......

Also in the restaraunts, you sometimes get a little stick to hold sandwiches or burgers together or show which is cooked a certain way. Some have logos or shapes on them. For Example, heres two of them, one from MGM Studios, and one from Margaritaville at Universal.

Ok, you might laugh at this one, or just pitty me for saying this, but Pressed Pennies are great! Disney now sells books for the collection they have. And it is a collection indeed! The machines are all over the park with three designs each. I have to admit though, this one can get expensive if you get into it like I did. Fifty cents to press each one can add up, especially since they have them in every park , shopping area and hotel.

I really shouldn't condone this, at all....in fact, I'm not saying you should do this. I'm not even gonna say I"ve done it, but.... the 3-D glasses from the shows are so cool, and they are great souvenirs. The tree of life has special ones shaped like "bug-eyes". You are supposed to throw them in the bins after the show. But people, I wouldn't know who, have gotten by with the glasses still in hand.
