Starting a new collectibles thread. One of my hobbies/side hustles i have done over the years is yardsaling. I've found interesting Disney stuff to add to my collection over the years, and so I will (hopefully) post a Friday find each week. This is the only DVC specific merch that I've ever come across, and I wear it in my regular rotation of caps. Anyone else yardsale and find anything interesting?  |

DW dragged me along to a shop that raises funds for charity. Most of the items were priced too high. I looked in a corner where the kids stuff was and found a Mickey rocking horse.  |

Believe it or not, I found this rad ashtray at a thrift store one time. I believe I paid a whopping $4 for it. I ended up selling it on ebay, though. I have other things from the early days of Epcot, but they were actually bought at Epcot, back when the store was called the Centorium.  |

I need to get a picture of it and figure out how to share, but I have the coffee cup that matches this ashtray. Found it years ago at a thrift store in Maine. It has a chip now, but I refuse to throw it out. Retro Epcot. Believe it or not, I found this rad ashtray at a thrift store one time. I believe I paid a whopping $4 for it.

Meaning to post weekly of yardsale finds, here is one of my favorites from vintage Epcot:   Kitchen Kabaret was one of my favorites growing up!  |

I am in love with those placemats! Never seen those before, wow! And that's saying something since I am a nut for vintage Epcot stuff.

Those are awesome!
We never got to see Kitchen Kabaret, though did see Food Rocks.
I love the music for both shows.

If thrift stores count, my daughter found and bought me a really cool Disney glass; it's like an oversized rocks glass, with painted WDW scenes, like Sorcerer Mickey in front of Spaceship Earth and various World Showcase countries; "Remember the Magic" is etched into the bottom of the glass.

I wish I had purchased one of those Disney dollars back in the day, preferably not one chewed on by a chinchilla. But oh how soft they are!

I have not been to a yard sale in 9 years. I tried to go this past year, but every weekend was always busy or raining.
I do regularly browse local FB "yard sale" groups for stuff. Over the weekend, someone locally was selling an opening day Magic Kingdom medallion. I did not pull the trigger because they wanted $200, which is actually a great price. But I talked myself out of buying it.

Not from a yardsale, but actually purchased: I was at my mom's yesterday and these are on the fridge:  
The 20 makes me think of a "15" I used to have, I think it was a sweatshirt I must have had when I was a kid. I know I still have the Kodak-branded maps/pamphlets they hand out when you go in the park that say "15" on the front. |
