Disney Shopping For Disneyana At Home!

The word Disneyana has been used casually since the 1960s and was probably first used in Malcom Willits' Collector's Book Store mail order catalog. However it was in 1974, with the release of a book called Disneyana: Walt Disney Collectibles by Cecil Munsey that the term really came into use.

In 1976, Disney opened the Disneyana Shop at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It sold all types of Disneyana including vintage items. (The store was closed between 1986 and 1998 and when it reopened, it no longer sold vintage items.)

In 1979 a meeting of twelve Disney collectors formed a club in Anaheim to celebrate Walt Disney. It was called the Mouse Club. In 1982, they held the first unofficial Disneyana Convention at the Jolly Roger Inn across the road from Disneyland. The convention drew Disney animators Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston, and Frank Thomas, archivist Dave Smith, Clarence "Ducky" Nash (original voice of Donald Duck) and others.

The number of Disney fans grew rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s and today you can find Disney items everywhere - at your local mall, online, at auction, at antique shows and so on.

Disney increased the amount of collector merchandise it was releasing throughout the 1980's and in 1992 held the first Official Disneyana Convention at the Contemporary Resort, Walt Disney World.

Items produced during Walt Disney's lifespan between 1901 and 1966 are generally more valuable. However, many people collect new as well as vintage Disney pieces.

If you cannot get to a Disney Store, why not let me help you with all of your Disney shopping?

An avid shopper, I love to search for and find bargains. I use my bargain-hunting skills to find treasure for you and I frequently manage to track down great finds for Disney fans. I sell mostly new Disney items with just a sprinkling of older, hard-to-find or vintage items. Items may be recent and straight from the store or they may be vintage, collectible pieces. You can see my latest discoveries, in my eBay store, Treasures By Brenda. If you are a Disney fan, you may want to look at only my Disney items and this link will magically transport you to all of my eBay Disney items.

When you shop at my eBay store, you can rest assured that customer service is my top priority. I am here, ready and willing to answer your questions or process your order. You will find me quite willing to combine items to help you save money on shipping. Two t-shirts often ship for not much more than the cost of one. (Unless you are overseas. I am in Canada.) If it is not clear in the description, please ask for a shipping quote!

I stand by my auctions with a 100 percent money-back guarantee. I am willing to give you a full refund, including shipping, if the item is not as described. My 100 percent positive feedback score will give you an indication of the kind of seller that I strive to be. I am also willing to buy back an item if it does not fit and if it is in the same condition that I sold it to you in. In this case, however, you will be responsible for the shipping costs.

Every item that I ship is insured and shipped the business day after payment is received. I do everything I can to get your purchase(s) to you as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind that most of the items that I sell are exciting and new. Perfect gifts for any Disney fan in your life who wants to be able to use their Disney items. If an item is pre-owned, I strive to describe the condition as accurately as possible.

I love hearing your stories about the Disney items you have purchased, what you collect and what it is that you are looking for. It is these stories that make my job selling Disney items enjoyable.
