Do you collect anything else Disney besides DVDs?

I think that it is great that you can't buy all things everywhere.
I have just started to collect a few original movie posters. I am not going overboard with this but I just want some posters to decorate my livingroom.
For now I have the original "Love Bug" poster, and I am planing on a few more. I also have a few posters that are not Disney.

Well, what I would like to collect is the "Art of..." coffee table books, but they're so durn expensive, and increasingly hard to find, for some of the older ones. :-p Same with the nicey-nice porcelain character sculptures - that they used to make, anyway. Dunno if they still make them anymore - considering that the section for nice collectibles in the Disney Stores gave way to plushies and sweaters a couple years ago... 
I'm not really a "stuff" person, besides. I don't really like getting things that will only sit and collect dust on some bygone shelf.

Aside from DVD's...
The plushes. Stuffed animals. Right now I've got Stitch (as a dog) and a smaller Stitch (as an alien, with the extra legs and antennae and the orange suit). Koda. Kenai. Nemo. And I'm wanting to get one of the cows from Home on the Range, when they come out, probably the one voiced by Judi Dench. As I like Judi Dench.
Soundtracks: Lilo & Stitch, and Lilo & Stitch: Island Favorites. The Rescuers Down Under. 101 Dalmatians. Brother Bear. Fantasia 2000. Finding Nemo (even though it's Pixar, I'm counting it). And Beauty and the Beast.
Oh, and the Art books. I have the one for Lilo & Stitch (my favorite), the one for Brother Bear, and Finding Nemo. And the Ultimate Disney Visual Guide.
I like my collection. And it continues to grow.
Even if my family thinks me odd. lol.

I use to collect the Disney movie mugs... the ones with the wrap around scenes like this that the Disney store no longer makes anymore... I had just moved into university residences at the time so I was in the market for kitchenware and I just began picking up the nicer looking ones whenever I was at the Disney store. I have Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty (2x), Toy Story 2, Aristocats, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland.
I also have a couple art books (Hunchback of Notre Dame and Disney's Illusion of Life), some stuffed animals (Stitch, young Nala and all seven dwarfs mini-sized) and the gorgeous, red Mulan poster in with my movie poster collection.

Ooh, yes! I forgot about the VHS tapes. I honestly think that's where the madness began - when my parents bought many of "The Classics" - the first Disney VHS editions - when I was little. Then I kinda took up where they left off - it was especially easier when eBay rolled around. 
But yes - I have all the original editions of Disney VHS's up through Atlantis; I thought #40 was a good place to stop, and I'd already given in to dvds at that point.
And I think I'll hold onto them, too - they still work pretty well (whatever I don't have on dvd, I'll pop the tape of it in), and who knows - they may have some value down the road. Hehe... but I'm keeping them for mostly sentimental reasons - these are the very tapes I grew up on, so...
I also have a fair number of Disney soundtracks (off the top of my head... The Lion King {the SE - I wore out my original cd - LOL}, Rhythm of the Pridelands, The Lion King on Broadway, Finding Nemo, DINOSAUR, Pocahontas, Mulan, Brother Bear, Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, The Nightmare Before Christmas...), but that's because soundtracks are my favorite music genre in general. Anything with a killer score to it - and anything with an ethnic flair is nice, too. The only reason I got Brother Bear is because of that fantastic "Transformation" song, sung in Inuit by the Bulgarian Women's Choir. ^_^ I also like some of the scoring on that film, too. And DINOSAUR may be a stinker of a film, story and dialogue-wise, but damned if James Newton Howard's score isn't fantastic! There's a few there that I almost never listen to (Pocahontas, Aladdin), but hang around the house anyway.
I do have a coupla Disney plushies and picture books laying around the house - but they can hardly be called a "collection". Heh - you'd probably find more Disney junk in the Average Joe Family's house. ~_^

I actually got Disney Scrabble and Disney Monopoly for my birthday and Christmas this year ...
I know it's just another thing coming out of the lean-mean Disney merchandising machine but I quite like playing them ... and then shrink wrapping everything back! jk ... I don't like dust either ... hayfever or something or rather *looks puzzled*
The fact that my friends noticed this 'little' obssession of mine was really nice ...
No expendable income but I'd love to own those coffee table books
I suppose this isn't really 'collecting' but hey!
oh! and I have this 2000 piece Disney All-Characters Puzzle ... love it, love it

I do not YET collect anything else besides the dvd's but I would love to start collecting snowglobes. However: having seen a number of those I am very afraid that I will go bankrupt when I start collecting those: they're just absolutely beautifull and great 'collecting material'.
You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
I have a few of the coffee table books:
The Art of Pocahontas (my first and most treasured art book),
The Art of Hunchback (because it was on sale...),
Before Animation Begins, The Disney That Never Was (both very informative and interesting)
mini versions of Disneyana and The Art of The Lion King.
I try to save every newspaper article about Disney films or the company in general, and admit owning a couple of figurines and a HUGE pillow in the shape of Pooh's head
Btw, I've also been collecting Disney postcards, especially The Archive Collection series, but as of late they've become almost impossible to find. Does anyone know anything about the said series? It's just that all the other postcards in the shops are so tasteless and childish. I want to get my hands on some nice arty cards

Well, at this point in my life, I really only have enough money for 1 thing to collect - and right now, that's DVDs. However, on the side, I'm a mild collector of autographes. I've been fortunate enough at each Comic-Con to get the autographs I wanted, and I had about 10, until a few were stolen.
In the past, I used to collect action figures & Legos, and I probably have hundreds of those (some displayed in my room, most in boxes). Also, for a time being, I got into a trading card craze and collected the entire set of Star Wars Trilogy SE Widescreen cars save for 1, and the entire set of SW Episode I cards.

I collect anything and everything Lion King related. I also am in LOVE with Tigers and Lions and all big cats! I have pictures of these beautiful felines all over my wall. Anyways I'm a big time collector on felines. Wish I had a dig. camera I'd post some pics of my Lion King products and Tiger stuff
