I have been collecting ornaments for our Christmas Tree for as long as I can remember. It dates back to even before the first time I visited Walt Disney World Resort, in 1995. Yes, it was that long ago and I have the photos of my slouch socks and fanny pack to prove it (which you can see here if you need a laugh for the day.) The odd one has come from the Disney Store here in Canada, but for the most part, our collection has grown during our family trips to my happy place, mainly in the past ten years.
This past weekend we finally set up our tree and I had the chance to do something I look forward to each year around this time; walk down memory lane. ♥ One by one, the kiddos and I took out and unwrapped our ornaments to hang on the tree and one by one, we talked about where each one came from. Many were before young William’s time, but he does recall the selection of some, especially if they bear his photo or name. 🙂 When I counted today we had well over forty Disney ornaments and that is even after having lost a couple over the years. After walking down this path today, I thought it was high time I immortalized as many of these precious items, so hence this post. I hope you enjoy my little showcase and will perhaps be inspired to share some of your own. Without further ado…
A favourite of my daughter’s & mine from a special trip – it broke two years ago 🙁
Front and the back of these adorable shoe ornaments!
Favourites of Emily’s and mine <3
Love my Minnie and her shoes!
Emily adores her some Mushu!
I love when you can add the year to an ornament. 🙂
Oldies, but goodies, although Cindy has seen better days…
From my favourite movie, The AristoCats and Emily’s favourite flyer 🙂
Although I did leave out some of our collection, they all have special meaning to me. A few have broken and I have tried to keep even a small part of those, if possible. Were there any that you liked or didn’t care for? Do you collect Christmas Tree ornaments or some other item that you treasure? Thank you for sharing in ours.
Merry Christmas

What beautiful decorations! I love disney.. however out of 5 children.. only 1 was a disney fan 🙁
They are so beautiful! What a great tradition!
You have some beautiful ornaments, I just love decorating the tree as each ornament brings back fond memories!
These Disney ornaments are beyond cute and they look awesome on you tree. It’s a terrific tradition to collect special ornaments that hold cherished memories for the family. My daughter & son-in-law started a tradition several years ago, their guests are requested to bring a tree decoration when they visit. They pick up a gigantic tree every year and it’s filled with beautiful ornaments that they’ve collected.
I absolutely love how each ornament I have represents a memory! 🙂
Each ornament is a treasure! I love the stories of our ornaments too. Having a December birthday, ornaments are a popular gift for people to give to me. Most (or course) are Disney….my friends and family know me well. LOL
We have a Disney tree too. Your ornaments are adorable.
You have a very nice collection of Disney ornaments, such a shame that glass one broke. Some of my ornaments are full of memories too, like the ones I inherited from my mum when she passed. One’s a birds made of tin with a long filament tail this was my favourite as a child so it is pretty old.
It’s always nice to have those memorable ornaments to hang on the tree.
Well I forgot all about my 19 year old loving Olaf. Today I was at Walmart and happened to see the display of Disney ornaments… guess who’s getting an Olaf ornament! That’s right… the kid… her 1st Christmas in her own place… 1st tree..
oh my gosh I want them all!!! I think if I had the Disney princesses on our tree (especially if I had Elsa and Anna) they wouldnt stay on the tree lol. my daughters would be taking them off on a daily
My girlfriend has all Disney decorations on her tree and it just looks amazing!! 🙂
I’ve also got ornaments that I’ve collected on our travels, mainly through the States and Germany.
You have a beautiful collection!
The Disney ornaments are just beautiful and there is so much detail to them
You have a wonderful collection of Disney ornaments! I like the AristoCats and those cute shoe ornaments!
The ornaments with the dresses are my favorite because the dresses are really beautiful with all the details and the way they look so full and flowing. My second favorite is Tinkerbelle because I’ve loved her since I was a kid
We have a few Disney character ornaments. Great idea to collect them
We just took our tree down and put away all the beautiful ornaments for another year. A bit nostalgic since we won’t see them for another year.
They have such creative things! I love the non-christmas ornaments too!
Your collection of ornaments are stunning! I love these Disney ornaments and think they are really lovely to collect.
I love Disney around Christmas time! The park itself and all the decorations too.
You certainly have some beautiful pieces and i’m sure they all come with a memory
I like Minnie’s shoes ornaments, they look so cute!
