The entire memo holder is about 6.5″ tall. I’m not sure what years it was available, but there’s just something late 90’s about it, don’t you think?</p> <p>It’s difficult to find official Tower of Terror merchandise in the likeness of the hotel structure itself. Not that I don’t love Disney’s characters dressed up in bellhop costumes – those are all 100% adorable. But I’m a huuuge fan of the look and feel and the architecture of the Tower of Terror itself, so I must admit a soft spot in my heart (and my collection) for Tower merchandise made in the image of the Tower itself. I found mine on ebay for $24+ shipping.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_front.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-199" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_front.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir front" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_front.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_front-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-200" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir side and back" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_back.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-202" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_back.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir back " width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_back.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_back-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-203" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side2.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir front and side" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side2.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_side2-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail2.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir front detail" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail2.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail2-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-204" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail1.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir front detail bottom" width="512" height="384" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail1.jpg 512w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_detail1-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_bottom.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-206" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_bottom.jpg" alt="tower of terror memo holder replica souvenir bottom Disney stamp" width="512" height="384" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_bottom.jpg 512w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tower_memo_holder_bottom-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></p> <p>PS: Disney, if you’re reading this – please send more tower replicas! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>/tower-of-terror-memo-holder-florida-version/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
