Now I know you are probably going back to Disney to pick up even more treasures to add to your collection. And yes, some more memories too. But don’t rule out one of the best ways to generate capital to make that trip possible – selling off some of your existing Disney swag!
Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Red Loop. Today we are sharing ways to save money for your Disney vacation.
Selling Your Way to Disney
I’m going to do my post this month in the form of a Top Five List. So without further ado, here are the Top 5 Reasons for Selling Your Way to Disney, which means selling some of your Disney collection to pay for your next Disney vacation:
Reason Five
Dusting
Do you like to dust? I don’t so my wife is always after me to dust my collectibles! I try to tell her that if I don’t dust, then when I pick up a collectible, I will know exactly where to place it down again due to the dust ring. And that is why men are more creative thinkers than women!
But you may want to clean the item up a bit before you sell it. Or have your spouse do it.
Reason Four
Space
Outer Space is infinite. Your shelf space is not. Sooner or later, or probably sooner than later, you will start to run out of places to put your Disney stuff. When your children’s toys are all over the floor because their toy chest is full of your collectibles and your spouse’s closet space is disappearing, it may be time for a purge!
Reason Three
Re-focus
Back in the 1980’s you were all about The Little Mermaid and Roger Rabbit, but now we are living in the Millennium. We now have Baymax and Hank the Septopus merchandise everywhere! No one wants to look at the same stuff year after year, right?
OK, maybe we do, but sacrifices must be made. We’re trying to get to Disney, people!
Reason Two
Demand
You have it. Everyone else wants it. That is basically how the demand for Disney collectibles goes. So why not take advantage of someone else’s obsession and unload some unwanted stuff?
They’ll thank you for providing a new-to-them treasure and you’ll add some much needed capital to your Disney trip jar!
Reason One
Money
You want it. Your unwanted Disney collectibles could turn into it. And seriously, if you want to go on a Disney vacation… you’re going to need lots of it! So get out there (or online) and sell! Sell! Sell!
And if you do, I’ll see you in the parks!

I 100% need to do this! I have a number of things I can sell, the struggle is just finding the time and effort to get it all organized, photographed, find where to post it, etc.
Do you have Kijiji where you are? Basically a local eBay. I’m hoping to link a store to my site soon.
Living with a minimalist means I don’t have enough souvenirs! But great idea if you have them to liquidate, there is probably someone who’d love to pay top dollar for them!
I must be a maximinalist! lol
