Splash Mountain Walt Disney Imagineering Pin- Limited Edition


This is a limited edition, special Splash Mountain pin from Walt Disney Imagineering. It has Brer Rabbit on it. This pin is an exact replica of the signs above the Splash Mountain entrances at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Zero (from Nightmare Before Christmas) Dog Bowl From Disneyland




This is a dog bowl, with the name "Zero" on it, for Jack Skellington's dog, Zero, from "Nightmare Before Christmas". This bowl contained a meal once, but not for a dog! The dish served inside was 4 chicken legs stuffed inside some mashed potatoes. I forget what they called this dish, but it was good! The dish was served at The French Market in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, around the Holidays (Disneyland always decorates the Haunted Mansion attraction in a "Nightmare Before Christmas" Theme each year, for the last few years).

By the way, if you want this bowl, I'll part with it for $30, plus shipping.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Tokyo Disney Sea Pin


This is a pin from Tokyo Disney Sea, a Theme Park at Tokyo Disneyland Resort in Japan. This pin features the Nautilus, seen in the Disney film, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", and is a walk-through attraction at the Tokyo Disney Sea Theme Park. This is an interesting pin, and I would part with it for $25.

Lady and the Tramp Sweatshirt by The Disney Store



This is a "Lady and the Tramp" sweatshirt, made by the Disney Store. It features all of the adult dog characters featured in the film, including the dog to the far right, who was, if you might remember, happily led away to the gas chamber at the dog pound. This shirt was purchased a few years ago for my Grandmother for Christmas. This sweatshirt is in great condition, and is for sale for $50.

Walt Disney Imagineering Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Limited Edition Pin


This is a pin made for Walt Disney Imagineering, commemorating the attraction "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" at Disneyland. This is a very nice pin. I bought it recently at an NFFC convention, where Walt Disney Imagineering was on hand to offer cool items for sale to the public. I will sell this pin for $25 if anyone wants it.

Mickey Mouse Three Musketeers Plush


This is a Mickey Mouse plush doll, featuring Mickey in his role from "The Three Musketeers" Movie from about 3 years ago. This movie was actually pretty funny. It also starred Donald Duck and Goofy, as well as Clarabelle Cow. If you would like this plush doll, I will sell it for $25. OK?

Disneyland 50th Anniversary Pin Case


This is a Disneyland 50th Anniversary Pin Case, designed by Shag, featuring Tinkerbell and the old Disneyland Marquee. It's a beautifully designed pin case, and it will hold lots of pins and pin supplies. Pin traders usually will store their valuable pins in one of these. Sometimes they will use a case like this to take to Disney Pin-Trading events, which are held at the Disney Parks and Resorts.

Mickey Mouse Address Book



This is a Mickey Mouse Address Book, which I bought from The Disney Store about 10 years ago. It's cute, isn't it? I recently picked it up and discovered a lot of phone numbers of people that I've neglected.

The Disney Films by Leonard Maltin


This is the book, "The Disney Films", by Leonard Maltin. This is the third edition of the book. It covers the Disney animated feature films, from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to "Pocahontas". It also gives "a comprehensive look at all of Disney's classic films, with discussions of every feature-length movie as well as surveys of the cartoon shorts and TV shows". This third edition was published in 1995, which was the year that "Pocahontas" was released in theaters. This book is a must-have book for anyone who wants to be an authority on Disney, with information about all the films that were made when Walt Disney was alive, and a lot more that were produced after his death. I still haven't watched all of the old classic non-animated Disney films yet, but I've seen most of them. This book is good for thinking of what new films to rent from Netflix or to purchase from Disney Movie Club.

OBEY Barack Obama HOPE poster by Stephen Fairey


This poster was given to me last week by my Republican friend Mark, who probably won't vote for Barack Obama. It's an impressive poster- it's pop art, and kind of reminds me of something that Andy Warhol did (you know the portraits that he did of Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and Mickey Mouse?). The actual artist of this poster is Stephen Fairey. This poster, which has the word "HOPE" on it, is highly sought after by collectors. This one is a silk screen poster, printed on thick, high-quality paper. It measures 3 feet by 2 feet. It looks impressive, don't you think? This is a non-Disney item, but is nontheless quite magical.

Book - "Disney A to Z" by Dave Smith


This is the first edition of the book, "Disney A to Z" by Dave Smith, the head of the Disney Archives in Burbank, California. This book contains information about almost everything you always wanted to know about Disney- from the man Walt Disney himself, to every movie that The Walt Disney Company has made, right up to the date that the book was published. This book has already been updated at least a couple of times since the first edition. It is a must-have book for any major Disney fan. If you are looking for a good gift to give a Disney person, this book is indispensible (your friend might already have it).

Disney's Lost Chords by Russell Schroeder





This is the book, "Disney's Lost Chords" by Russell Schroeder. This book was a limited edition of 1,000 copies. As you can see, I got a personalized autograph from Mr. Schroeder. This book is a compiliation of sheet music of Disney songs and music that was never used in the Disney films that they were created for. This book is a must-have for hard-core fans of Disney music, and especially for those of you Disney fans who know how to read sheet music and play the piano! Another amazing thing about this book is the artwork found throughout the book. It is simply amazing!

I attended the National Fantasy Fan Club's convention last year, where this book was being discussed. I was one of many fortunate people who got to witness some of the songs in this book actually be "performed" live, with 3 singers and a piano player, and with the songs being introduced by Russell Shroeder himself. It was an amazing and powerful presentation at the convention, one that all in attendance will remember for a long time.

This is a beautiful book, and I am blessed to have received a copy. Hopefully they will expand the printing of this book so that more people can enjoy it.

Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy Toy with Mickey and Goofy


This is a small toy, a model of a "doom buggy" from the Haunted Mansion. Here, we see Mickey Mouse and Goofy and one of the "hitchhiking ghosts". I love this little piece, which I bought at Disneyland.

Disneyland Ticket Book Pin



This is a Disneyland Ticket Book Pin, created to celebrate Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. This pin was a Disney Cast Member Exclusive, and part of an Limited Edition of 3000 Pins. I had to buy 2 of these pins, I liked it so much. I used to love the look of the old Disneyland ticket books, so I'm glad that they made a great pin in honor of them.
