Oh this? Just the Best. Disney. Mug. Ever.

MERCH: Walt Disney's Dumbo Classic Coffee Mug With Lid
PURCHASE LOCATION: Emporium on Main Street
PARK: Magic Kingdom, Disney World
DATE: June 2023

What in the what, Disney. Imagine you're cruising down Main Street with a super ornery toddler, so obviously you stop in a store to buy her a toy because that's just where you are in your 4th-child parenting journey. Now, I'm a practical person. I have a tendency to drop irrational dollars at Disney, but the dollar-dropping is always and only on items with a practical use and a high likelihood of being well-loved. Enter: THIS MUG. 

Listen. I approached the Disney coffee mug wall with a discerning eye and a list of required attributes:

1) Speaks to my heart

2) Makes mornings suck less as it transports me back to my Disney vacation

3) Doesn't break the bank

4) Is DISHWASHER SAFE (no time for hand-washing dishes in my cray house)

5) Something I didn't even know I needed: THE LID

BEHOLD: The lid. THE LID. 

Listen, I deeply dislike lukewarm coffee; it makes me feel rushed like I'm running out of time to drink the good stuff. Not to mention the bajillion kids running around, seemingly each petitioning against my completion of a single cup of anything in a timely manner. So having a lid to slow the steam rolling off the top? Genius. 

Anyway, this guy checked all the boxes. He's already seen a couple cups of joe, kept them warm, and proceeded to the dishwasher where his colors stayed vibrant. 



Big win at the Big Top. Thank you Main Street for this Disney World Park exclusive. Grab one while you're there.

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
