If you were allowed - what 'souvenir' would you take home?

In relation to Disney Parks but not specific to a single resort

Did anyone watch the first HGTV show on the Disney backyards? My friend wasn't able to tape it, but I looked at the photos online. Here is a link to the photos if anyone is interested.

What do you think? I like some of the elements, the cute little lights outside the teapot for example, but I also found myself looking at it from a practical standpoint. It looks like it would make the yard very hard to maintain. Lots of manual trimming. I understand that a lot of the activities and furniture are geared toward the children, but I don't see any seating that an adult would find remotely comfortable. And what happens if Grandma moves. How do you divide up that railroad?

I looked at the pictures. Looks neat. I'm not sure if I would want it. Maybe just the train.

My friends said they didn't tape it when it was on because their 13 year old son was spending the night at a friend's house and they didn't know how to set the DVD recorder :roll: But they also said that cable re-runs almost everything so hopefully the next time it is on I can go watch or they will have figured out their equipment by then :lol:

I think I'd want a corn dog cart from DLR since they (and Wienerschnitzel's) are the only corn dogs I will eat.

I know I said the rocking chairs from Fort Wilderness or the like but I also love the outdoor rockers at the Boardwalk. Would love to have a couple of those for my back porch.

In that vein, how about a couple of cars from the Tomorrowland raceway? with the dampeners taken off course. That would be fun to drive those around.

You need to find a Cracker Barrell along the highway - they have tons of those type of rocking chairs for sale out in front of the restaurant/store...

LOL! How do you Disney just doesn't buy them from the same manufacturer as Cracker Barrel? I'm pretty sure they don't make their own rocking chairs...

I can't imagine that there's that many rocking chair manufacturers in the USA...
