Disney is where the magic happens. If you’ve ever taken your family — or even just yourself — to one of the theme parks, you already know that. And you know Disney is the place to go if you want to make lasting memories.
Part of making memories means collecting memorabilia along the way, but sometimes you end up buying things you never end up looking at again.
If you’ve gone through a storage unit or old box lately and found Disney memorabilia you no longer want, don’t toss it out. It could be worth some money.
Disneyland 60th Anniversary Framed Pin Set
In April 2025, a 60th anniversary framed pin set sold for $425 online. This particular set had a few minor scratches in the acrylic, which goes to show your memorabilia doesn’t have to be in perfect condition.
“Some things that hold their value I think are certain Disney Pins, because there are still Disney pin collectors and there are limited edition and special pins collectors are always looking for,” said Steve Griswold of Pixie Vacations.
Disney ‘Finding Nemo’ Snow Globe
Snow globes are magical — like Disney — but some can also be valuable. On eBay, one seller recently sold a “Finding Nemo” snow globe from the early 1990s for $210. The globe was brand new with a working blower and song.
1990s Disney World Memorabilia (Mix)
Do you have a bunch of old tickets or photos from a trip to Disney World? If so, you could potentially sell them for a tidy sum. One seller online put together 29 original Disney World photos of park attractions, characters and the like, as well as multiple tickets, a parking ticket and collectible cards for $100.
Golibri Goofy Pocket Watch
Disney-themed pocket watches can go for some money, too. One metal pocket watch depicting Goofy recently sold for $100. The watch itself had never been used and was in its original box from 2001. Check your closets and drawers to see if you’ve stuffed anything like this in there that you’re willing to part with.
Vintage Epcot Center ‘Universe of Energy’ Slide Puzzle
Vintage items are always worth appraising before you donate or toss them out. On sites like eBay, you can find vintage slide puzzles for around $129 apiece. If you find something that screams “classic Disney” in your house, it could be worth some money.
Collectible Pins and Magnets
If you have a collection of Disney pins and magnets, consider combining them into one lot and selling them. One seller did this on eBay and got $182 — the lot included 45 collectible pins and magnets, including duplicates
Disneyland Map Metal Tray
You might think that old metal tray you got from Disney is only good as mantle decor, but it could be worth quite a bit. A vintage metal tray from Disneyland (circa the 1950s or 1960s) went for $190 recently. It even had a few scratches and other marks from where it’d been hung or seen general wear and tear over the years.
Disney Engraved Metal Plaque
Once again, vintage is key when you’re looking to make money on Disney memorabilia. This goes for themed items you might get from your hotel stay. One “old-school” engraved metal plaque from 1999 sold for $200 recently on eBay.
Other Valuable Disney Items You Might Have
While less common, some Disney items are worth thousands of dollars — and have sold for as much. Chuck Costas, vice president of business development at Propstore, shared a list of some Disney memorabilia that has gone for top dollar. These include:
- Space Mountain Ride Vehicle for $50,169
- Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room Fountain Shield for $37,500
“When Disney parks decommissioned or revamped rides, the old theme park rides were sometimes broken up and sold to collectors,” said Costas. “Some of those can now be very valuable.”
You can find out if your Disney memorabilia is worth something on sites like Heritage Auction, eBay or Live Auctioneers. On eBay in particular, check out the “Completed” or “Sold” listings to see what previous items have sold for.
