Beaches & Cream Soda Shop X Mouse Watcher

 So maybe you've JUST HEARD about all the delectable, can't-miss goodness at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, but (*gasp*) you don't have a reservation. This resort-side Disney dining reservation is a hot spot thanks to its simple, consistently delicious, kid-friendly, diner-like menu and its extensive offering of ice cream delights. Despite its late-night operating hours (open past 10pm), it's near impossible to grab a seat on short notice. This casual dining spot is located just outside the Disney World Resort Yacht Club / Beach Club pools.

Well, I'd heard about the marvels of Mouse Watcher before, and we really wanted to grab a killer milkshake (and onion rings, because obviously). So I literally googled Mouse Watcher, headed over to the site and risked the $5 spend to set up an alert for Beaches & Cream during a certain time. And... photo evidence would show you, it freaking worked. It WORKED. I got a notification during the time frame I was targeting, and activated super-fast-fingers to secure the rezi. Seriously, like, don't wait if you get an alert - stop what you're doing and book immediately because some other Disney guest is absolutely virtually light-saber-dueling you for that spot. 

My family was REAL proud. And handsomely rewarded. 

So, if need a reservation for anything onsite at Disney World, and everything's booked up via traditional routes, toss a $5 bill at Mouse Watcher and watch the reservation selections roll in. After such a great experience this time, we also used it for TWO early-morning spots in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and a 5-person happy hour reservation at Oga's Cantina in Hollywood Studios. SO good, you guys. Go getcha the good stuff.

Hashtag WorthIt: Disney Springs Amphicar Tours

   The best $125 we spent in Disney Springs (including 3 irresistible pair of Havaianas): The Amphicar Tour experience. You hop in a car, it turns into a boat, and then your skipper "drives" you around the lake while telling you some of Disney's little-known secrets. Like BIRDS. Birds are the reason your dining experience remains bug-less. That was a lame example of a secret, but it stuck with me mostly because I'm fascinated by Disney's food-rich, bug-free environments. 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 .

The Disney Springs bath toy I spent $20 on, still swimming 2 years later.

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

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. So when we're trying to rationalize leaving clothing behind in exchange for fitting another mug into your suitcase, I feel like I'm making a strong choice. 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 . (Our littlest kiddo has a particular taste for warm milk in the morning, an
