And you know Disney is the place to go if you want to make lasting memories. Read More: Find Out: 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. 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. Discover More: 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. 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. 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 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. 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 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. 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. 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.

Couple who are both battling cancer are given heartbreaking news that one of them is terminally ill
A couple who are both battling cancer are now trying to make memories together while they can after one of them was told they are terminally ill. Sarah Hughes, 43, and her partner of 13 years Paul Crook, 47, were diagnosed with the disease within weeks of each other earlier this year. The mother-of-two from Runcorn, Cheshire, first went to the GP after suffering from what doctors initially thought was a viral infection. However, a later scan revealed that Sarah had secondary breast cancer that had spread to her bones and was now incurable. The 43-year-old was previously diagnosed with the disease in March 2020 but after a mastectomy and various rounds of treatment she was given the all-clear a year later. To add to the family's nightmare, Sarah's partner Paul was also told he had tonsil cancer at the start of 2025. The father-of-five found a lump in his neck just after Christmas and was given antibiotics from the GP, who also thought he had an infection. However, he was subsequently diagnosed with a tumour on his tonsils after the mass did not go down with the prescribed treatment. Paul, who is expected to make a full recovery, is due to have an operation in June to remove the cancer and then undergo radiotherapy. Kristy Boyce, 46, who has known Sarah since they were at school, has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the couple to make memories together while they can. She told The Liverpool Echo: 'It's so heartbreaking for them both having to go through this. 'It's been a really bad strap for them, trying just trying to get through it as best as they can, they're both strong people and are keeping as positive as they can for each other.' Breaking into tears about Sarah's diagnosis, Kristy added: 'It has been devastating to find out she has been diagnosed with cancer again. We have loads of memories over the years, we've done so much together.' Kristy said she hoped to raise enough money for Sarah and Paul to go on a trip to New York. She wrote on the GoFundMe page: 'Sarah has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer after being cancer free for five years. 'It has spread to her bones and cannot be cured, the only thing they can do is to start treatment to help prolong her life. 'Very sadly Paul is also fighting his own cancer battle as he has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and needs an operation to remove it and then further treatment. 'Sarah has started to compile a bucket list and would love to go to New York before she becomes to ill. 'Obviously they are both going to be off work so this is where we come in!!! We would love to be able to raise enough money to get them to New York and any other little trips they want to do to make some precious memories!'

‘Shaken to the core': Lac du Bonnet evacuees return to find rubble for homes after wildfire
Wildfire evacuees in Lac du Bonnet, Man. are coming to terms with a new reality. The community they left behind just over a week ago is now unrecognizable. Liane Ross-Martin lost her cabin on Wendigo Road in the wildfire. 'Devastation,' said Ross-Martin. 'I have said that word and typed it so many times in this last week. We are devastated as a community, as property owners.' She saw what's left of her property for the first time since evacuation orders were put in place in the wake of an out-of-control wildfire early last week. Liane Ross-Martin Liane Ross-Martin lost her cabin on Wendigo Road in the wildfire. Ross-Martin and her family have been on Wendigo Road for six decades. Her parents started camping in the area in 1965 and built their first cabin in 1967. 'From there, they moved to the lakefront area, right here in 1971, the year I was born,' she said. 'My husband and myself built brand-new in 2019.' She says she has made so many memories over the years with family and friends. 'The lake has always healed us,' she said. 'The tubing, swimming, the friendships that our neighbours have brought forward into our lives,' To say Ross-Martin is emotional is an understatement. 'We raised our child out here,' she said. 'He was out here digging through the rubble with us today. His memories are as much as mine are.' 'I don't think you ever expect to see something like this, and it has shaken us to the core for certain.' The once vibrant neighbourhood has turned to a barren wasteland, with several homes and cottages lost in the fire. Forests now look like black columns, parked cars are now charred metal, and shingles, from what once served as protection on a home, has turned into dust. Brad Wood, who is just a few doors down from Ross-Martin, was at a loss for words looking at what was once his cabin. 'It was a beautiful green forest. Just surreal to look at it right now,' he says. 'In all honesty, how do you overcome this? This is such a loss.' Brad Wood Brad Wood's cabin was completely turned into rubble. It is not just property that was lost on Wendigo Road. Sue and Richard Nowell died after they were trapped near their home in a wildfire last week. RCMP Manitoba said they were aware the couple were trapped in the fire, but emergency personnel could not reach them due to extreme conditions. 'Everybody is sharing the same grief,' he said. 'It's heartfelt all the way from the top to the bottom.' 'It's heartbreaking': Residents call for better safety measures As terrible of a tragedy it is, Wood said it could have been worse. 'We had no preparedness, no warning. No advanced notice,' he said. 'There is no cell service here. That is detrimental to any form of safety or emergency evacuation program.' Wood says neither RCMP nor emergency response members knocked on any of the doors in the neighbourhood telling residents to leave. He says he heard of the evacuation order from neighbours. 'I don't understand it. We at one point at had cellular Wi-Fi, but at one point (Manitoba) Hydro killed the power to this area, so even if you were somewhere on this grid, you would've lost your power, Wi-Fi, cell phone boosters regardless, so if you were a bit further up, you wouldn't have gotten any notification outside of a neighbour.' Wood is calling for better planning and notification systems and hopes the Manitoba government would help residents like himself who lost everything. Wildfire Burned car in Manitoba's Lac du Bonnet area. 'We're hoping the province comes to us. We could sit at the table as stakeholders here and try to come up with a program. Maybe they will work with us. Maybe we could evolve something good from this,' he says. It's the same situation for Ross-Martin and her family also want to see better safety measures implemented. 'There are many things that have to change before we can feel comfortable rebuilding,' she said. Ross-Martin says it's important at this time of grieving that everyone remains 'Wendigo Road Strong,' adding, 'If we don't band together and have our voices be heard, there's no point in any of this.'
