Look, no one's proud of the mother I've become. The mother of four children who tuckers out by the fourth one and makes ridiculous purchases just to exit a store without having to stifle a tantrum. For my 4-year-old, basically every day is her "Yes Day." Our first day of vacation in her 3rd year of life was no different; except that when we rolled up to the counter of the shop in the Boat House restaurant at Disney Springs with a rubber ducky, I did not anticipate the $20 price tag they quoted me. Alas, I paid it. I was admittedly fearful of the fit that would follow, and our family of five was about to squeeze into a tiny car-boat together; this was just part of guaranteeing our safety. Yes, we were about to embark on the Amphicar tours , and I'm a sucker for a souvenir that captures a memory. So, we'll save the bit on the amphicar tours for another post, but this ducky... this skipper ducky in an amphicar... I'mma tell you what. This thing is TWO

Anyway, there's cooler things to know, and your Amphicar captain will tell you all about them. Check out the full Amphicar launch . Grab lunch at the can't-miss Boathouse restaurant , then swing through the gift shop to book your tour. And don't miss the resilient rubber duckies .
MERCH: Peter Pan 70th Anniversary Coffee Mug PURCHASE LOCATION: Disney's Yacht Club Resort Marketplace DATE: June 2023 Bit of a mug hoarder over here. Specifically Disney mugs, because of their quality (not paid by Disney to say that, just stating facts) -- we've literally had the same Disney mugs for 12 years, dishwasher-washed the heck out of them, and they're still showing all their colors. ( If it says dishwasher-safe, these folks mean it.) And, of course, they're practical - we have at least 8 mug occasions across any given day for our family of six.

We saw this Peter Pan 70th Anniversary mug in multiple locations in May/June of 2023 at Disney World, but officially purchased it from the marketplace inside the Yacht Club resort .
