I collect WDW brochures and WDW & Disneyland viewmaster reels. I imagine I'm not the only one here with the collector's bug. What do some of y'all collect? |

I collect Disney pins. I love them a ton. Also, i have a collection of every new map from DL and DCA since 2004 (except for summer 07, only time we didn't have passes because we were paying off WDW expenses ) |

Also, I collect Haunted Mansion/Horizons memorabilia. |

Mostly we collect Haunted Mansion stuff, but we also like any vintage stuff from the parks, as well as attraction/park items. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Hmmm, only 5 or 10?
Well top 5 (in no particular order)
1) WDW/DLR Official Album (1991) That's when Horizons music really hit its stride on albums
2) 1st edition LP that has a scene from Pinocchio on it. The music on the album was the score to Pinocchio. I'd say it's circa 1940's.
3) Rehearsal cds from the shows I drummed in. They are the full tracks (most of the tracks you hear in the parks have been cut down, some never even made it to show!)
4) A WDW/DLR Offical Album that was released in Japan. It's a 2 disc set, but the second disc is one of those small discs that has the original Remember the Magic Parade.
5) The official album of EPCOT Center. (The actual album) - It's not that rare, but my family was there on opening day (we lived in Chicago back then, not Orlando) and my Mom & Dad bought this album. It's mint and framed in my office. |

Rarest would be a Disneyland Plate from the 50's that we picked up in an antique shop for $20 (it's valued at about $100).
Oddest would be some 20,000 leagues attraction items: A Port Hole, a seat and seaweed! tE also has the same items so we thought we're slowly rebuild the attraction!
What I really want is SOMETHING from Haunted Mansion (the attraction itself).
Oh, and deb, *I* don't collect Hag stuff, you do. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Disney CDS
Vintage Disney collectables (Unfortunately this is now a trend and prices are $$)
Disney themepark items (Unfortunately this too is now a trend since they're so easy to get)
Why is it that all of the weird and quirky stuff I get involved in becomes a trend...
heh... _________________

I collect everything pre-construction, construction, and opening of EPCOT Center (up to about 1992). After that, it wasn't EPCOT anymore... _________________ John |

I like to collect pins. I also have some older (late 90's) editions of WDW guide books. It's a blast to read about the cool things that used to be. I find them at the "friend of library" sales and garage sales, ususally for under $1! =D _________________ Pop Century 2005 and 2006, Saratoga Springs 2007, Inagural Pirates and Princess Party 2007, can't go 2008 =(
