Are you planning your first ever visit to Disney World? Congratulations! Vacationing at Disney World is such a magical time and you and your family will make memories to last a lifetime. Those who are traveling to Disney for the first time should make it their goal to relax, enjoy being there, and really live in the moment! When your vacation is over and it’s time to return home you will definitely want to take a souvenir with you to commemorate your special first Disney trip. Here are just a few of our favorites!
Holiday Ornament
Christmas might not be the first thing you are thinking of during your vacation, but in this case it is good to think ahead! Ornaments are a great way to commemorate your first trip and Disney World is home to four incredible Holiday and Christmas-themed stores. There are so many ornaments available for you to choose and you can get any ornament personalized for an additional fee. If you want a yearly reminder of your Disney vacation then an ornament is a great keepsake to have. You can find Disney holiday ornaments and decorations at Disney’s Days of Christmas at Disney Springs, Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom, It’s a Wonderful Shoppe at Hollywood Studios, and Die Weihnachts Ecke at EPCOT.
Picture Frame
What better way to remember your Disney vacation than with a Disney picture frame featuring one of your favorite vacation pics? You can find frames of any style at various shops throughout Disney World and frames with the year on them as well. My favorite place to shop for picture frames at Disney World is at the World of Disney store at Disney Springs!
Housewares
My favorite souvenir to bring home with me after a Disney vacation is one that I can use again and again. There is a wide variety of housewares for sale throughout Disney World. Guests enjoy purchasing things like towels, welcome mats, cooking utensils, tea sets, dish sets, mugs, and so much more. Purchasing Disney housewares is a great way to keep the magic going after you get home and remind yourself of the wonderful trip you had.
Phone Cases
One of my favorite reminders of my Disney vacation is the phone case that I look at every day! At several locations throughout Disney World including Marketplace Co-Op D-Tech on Demand at Disney Springs and Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests can choose from a huge assortment of phone cases and customize them to their liking. Each phone case is printed just for you. Guests can add their names or even the date of their trip to the phone case.
1st Visit Pins
One of the best souvenirs to have for you first Disney trip is the 1st Visit pin, and it is completely free! Stop by any Guest Service kiosk at the parks and resorts to grab your special pin for your first visit. You might even experience a little extra sprinkle of Disney magic here and there while you wear yours.
Photos from Photopass Photographers
Memories fade but photos last a lifetime. Purchasing Memory Maker for your vacation allows you to take home all of your photos from your vacation, even ride photos. Disney Photopass photographers are located throughout the parks and are ready to take professional photos for you. If you desire to have more one-on-one time with a Disney Photopass photographer then you can book a Capture Your Moment photo session. This private photo session is currently priced at $99 for a 20-minute session and includes one park location as your backdrop. This is a great way to make sure you get those special family photos for your first trip!
