Germs Are Not The Souvenirs We Want to Bring Home!
There are free “souvenirs” that all park goers can and do take home with them. Germs, yuck! Now, not to slight Disney as they run an incredibly clean operation especially given the number of guests they host, but out in the public realm, it can be a constant battle to rid ourselves of these pests. An effective and simple weapon to fight them off is hand sanitizer. It is an excellent idea when travelling to the Disney parks, or anywhere for that matter, to take a small bot


Cry Over Spilt Coffee, Not Milk.
Mondays. Oy vey! If it were a Monday and I spilled my cup of joe, yes I would tear up. How do I know? It’s happened. Mondays have enough challenges without wasting your morning energy lifeline and often without immediate replenishment nearby. Se la vi. It’s Mug of the Day Monday! So why the milk idiom? For today’s mug I am taking it back… way back. In fact, so far back, to be honest I don’t even use this mug for my morning coffee. Instead I proudly display it in a c


Bring Home A Piece of the Party!
Being that last week’ s Souvenir Saturday was missed, hopefully I make up for it with an extra amazing item this week. Sometimes Disney parks are so magical, filled with joy and elation it can make one want to break out in song and dance. On some occasions, venues within Disney parks transform into hoppin’ party atmospheres. One of my favorite displays of this happens when Swing Dancing events happen at what use to be known as the Carnation Plaza, now known as the Royal Th


My Coffee ~ The Muddier The Better, Like It Was Poured From An Oil Pan
Yes, I like my coffee black. No frills. Lip smacking bitter. A coffee that makes one’s taste buds fight back. Most mugs these days can’t even come close to dressing the character of my coffee preference. Like putting a blinged-out collar on a rabid wolf. This morning I came across a mug that comes closer than any other mug I’ve seen to befitting my coffee taste. It was recently released by the Disney Store in a wave of merchandise for the upcoming Cars 3 flick to be re


Pick Your Poison
Mondays are often a dread to face and we may need something a little more potent to get through our day. What better vessel for our day-starting poison than this iconic poison apple themed mug from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? I don't personally own this mug and it currently shows sold out on disneystore.com indicating a high level of popularity. A periodic check of the product page by CLICKING HERE may end up showing this mug back in stock eventually so it may be wort


Aaargh, You Sunk My Pirate Ship, Matey!
Classic board games. Classic Disneyland attractions. Marry the two in a souvenir and you are sure to have a hit with young and old alike! It has been a couple weeks since the Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean attraction hit the 50 year milestone, and I cannot stop thinking about how amazing that really is. Just stop and think, a theme park ride that is 50 years old and is still as entirely relevant, thrilling, enthralling, and technologically amazing as it was 50 years


Mondays ~ Make You Want to Go Back to Your Childhood, Don’t They?
Having to start a work week on a dreary Monday morning sure makes one appreciate the naivety of childhood. In a similar way, nostalgic Disney causes many of us to want to relive fond memories of our childhood. Why can’t we? This mug certainly helps you start your week off on the right foot! Who says you have to grow up? Sure we all have our adult responsibilities, but why can’t we pursue them with the same youthful vibrant outlook we had as children? Why can’t we engage

This Week’s Souvenir Might Just Blow Your Socks Off!
No, this is not a twisted April Fool's joke. Seriously, who doesn’t need a decent pair of dress socks? Work, church, formal dinner parties - you never know when you may need to reach for a pair of dress socks. Why not have some fun with it? These socks are marketed toward men under the Twenty Eight & Main collection of men’s gear sold at Disney parks - the twenty eight referring to the year Mickey Mouse made his debut. Also, the styles in this collection are often influe
