If you remember when the castle at Magic Kingdom was decorated as a cake for it’s 25th anniversary, then you might be nostalgic for some Disney things that don’t exist anymore.

Maybe you are still calling Disney Springs, “Downtown Disney”, which it hasn’t been called that since 2015. Do you miss the giant Tower of Terror billboard that moved on World Drive? When you’ve been going to the parks for a long time, you see things come and go. We recently asked our readers what they would love to see back regarding souvenirs; their answers will take you down memory lane!
We asked our readers “Which extinct souvenir do you desperately wish Disney World would bring back?”. Thank you to everyone who took us on a nostalgic walk through the ’90s and early 2000’s. Let’s see how many of their answers you remember!
Pal Mickey

Disney sold the Pal Mickey in the early to mid-2000s. This interactive Mickey Plush wasn’t only a cuddly toy; it was also designed to provide location-based information and play interactive games while inside the parks. Evolving technology quickly outstripped the Pal Mickey hardware, and by the time smartphones became ubiquitous, Pal Mickey was a thing of the past. But gosh, he was adorable! Our readers are beginning Disney to bring this one back.
Large Snow Globes

Our reader, Cheryl, said “the beautiful snow globes.” and she wasn’t the only one. 10% of the answers on the question were reminiscing for the snow globes. While they are limited, we did find this 2024 Mickey and Minnie Snow Globe online.
Antenna Toppers

Another one fans shared a lot was the antenna toppers. If you don’t remember these, they were very popular in the early 2000s and came in different Disney characters. I vividly remember my parents buying them when I was a kid. While they don’t sell them in the parks anymore, we did find these Mickey and Minnie Antenna Toppers online.
Character Watches

Our reader, Tina, reminded us of character watches that were popular back then. While you can still find some now, like this Winnie the Pooh Citizens Watch, the characters are more limited. However, if you are still wanting that classic Disney feel, this watch would definitely fit that vibe.
Dated Ornaments

Lindsay, a reader, mentioned “having year dates ornaments available all year long”. We totally understand wanting an ornament with your vacation year even if you are going in the summer and not around the holidays. We found this 2024 Mickey and Minnie Holiday Sketchbook Ornament online. Buying ornaments online after your vacation could be beneficial. You wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking while you’re in the parks carrying it around or traveling back home with it.
Mr. Potato Head

Ok, this is speaking to our childhood right here! Mr. Potato Head was a toy everyone had or at least it feels like that. While we haven’t spotted these in the parks in a while, we did find one online! Grab your own Mr. Potato Head online at Amazon.
Whatever your nostalgic souvenir is, try finding it online! You never know what you could find that would bring back those old memories.
