Freebies and Complimentary Keepsakes

With admission to Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure park, there are free items you can collect to remember your visit. In addition to a full day’s worth of fun, these complimentary keepsakes take your park ticket perks even further.

Celebration Buttons

The iconic celebration buttons add a magical touch to your trip and outfit. Different options are available for birthdays, first visits, “happily ever afters” and celebratory occasions.

These complimentary buttons are offered inside City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A., in Disneyland or at Guest Services in California Adventure.

Ride Photos

At this time, you can receive complimentary digital downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos* on board select attractions. Commemorate your journey on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Space Mountain at Disneyland. In California Adventure, attraction photos capture the thrills of Radiator Springs Racers, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, and Incredicoaster.

Instructions on how to link and download your photos with the Disneyland app or Disney PhotoPass webpage are available at Disneyland.com.

Also at Disneyland, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters offers a free photo with your score from the ride. After blasting targets and Zurg’s squad of rampaging robots, you can email the photo to yourself.

Park Maps and Other Paper Goods

Look out for paper goods throughout your day, which make great additions to scrapbooks, journals, or collages.

Available at the main gates of Disneyland or California Adventure, commemorative theme park maps provide a snapshot of what the parks looked like during your visit, sometimes including seasonal designs. You can even grab the family adventure map, which features playful illustrations and helpful information for those traveling with little ones.

Some attractions have unique paper goods that make for great keepsakes, like a themed sticker at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in California Adventure. If you try your hand at drawing a Disney character at Animation Academy, your sketch also makes a great souvenir.

Even dining locations have mementos you may want to collect, like illustrated paper coasters inspired by favorite Pixar characters at Lamplight Lounge or Star Wars-inspired designs on coasters from Oga’s Cantina.

Character Autographs

After snapping a photo with your favorite Disney pals, you can request an autograph from select characters for a unique keepsake that also catalogs the friends you met on your trip.

You can bring a notebook from home to collect signatures or even get creative by asking characters to sign a photo frame. If you’d like a Disney-themed book, you may purchase autograph books at shops around the resort as a low-cost and easy-to-carry souvenir.

Lower Priced Souvenirs

Budget-friendly finds are available across Disneyland Resort to commemorate your magical day.

Discover tiny treasures with pressed pennies. Prices start at $1 per pressed penny, and you can pick from over 150 different commemorative images to build a collection with.

Have some prophetic fun by visiting fortune tellers in Disneyland park. The nostalgic experience offers a glimpse into your future with a paper card to remember your visit by.

Capture picture-perfect poses at photo booths located across Disneyland Resort. These printed pictures are bordered with Disney-themed designs.

At select retail locations, you’ll find Disneyland postcard designs available for purchase. If you bring a stamp with you, you can even send your card to loved ones from mailboxes on Main Street, U.S.A.

Watch in wonder as a Silhouette Studio artist creates a portrait of your profile or a favorite character before framing this memory at home.

Some attractions offer themed souvenirs, such as getting a personalized driver’s license from Autopia in Disneyland park.

Disney Apparel and Merchandise

There’s merchandise the whole family will love at shops throughout The Happiest Place on Earth. Kids can choose from a variety of toys and plushies, while adults may love housewares and home décor.

Apparel is available in an array of sizes and designs, so everyone can show off their Disney style! A Disneyland Resort Spirit Jersey, Minnie Mouse ear headband, and Loungefly mini backpack are a popular outfit combination.

Create Your Own Headband is a great accessory for switching up your Disney look each time you visit. Mix and match Disney mini plush accessories to create your own personalized masterpiece.

You may even be able to save time by scanning and paying for select items using Merchandise Mobile Checkout on the Disneyland app at World of Disney in Downtown Disney District, Emporium in Disneyland, and Elias & Co. in California Adventure.

Custom Embroidery

You can make select products like Mickey Mouse ear hats, sweaters, T-shirts and backpacks even more special with custom embroidery services, creating a one-of-a-kind souvenir or thoughtful gift.

At Plaza Point on Main Street, U.S.A., talented cast members can hand paint festive designs on select items like faux leather Minnie Mouse ear headbands and ornaments.

After buying the item you’d like personalized, keep the tags on and take your receipt to locations with embroidery and personalization services on the same day of purchase to add this extra special piece of Disney magic for an additional cost.

Items to Use in the Parks and Beyond

If Disneyland popcorn is your go-to park snack, consider purchasing a themed bucket to go along with it! Buckets — as well as other novelties like beverage sippers, tiki mugs, glow cubes, and straw clips — come in a wide array of designs, and some even include special sound effects and lights.

MagicBand+ is a useful wearable for easy entrance to the theme parks (valid park admission and reservation required), unique experiences and more. Plus, it also makes a great collectible, with designs to fit any taste.

Uniquely Disney Experiences

You can also discover interactive experiences that allow you to build or personalize your souvenir. They are a great way to celebrate a special occasion — such as a birthday — or make any visit extra special.

Advanced reservations can be booked (and are highly recommended) for select experiences. Valid ticket and park reservation for the same park on the same date are required.
