Sharing Some Mickey's Christmas Carol Cheer
Welp, today is Christmas. We made it! Through all the stress, hustle, and bustle the day is finally here! Hopefully everyone can now breathe a sigh of relief and spend the rest of the day with those nearest and dearest to our hearts. For Christmas, there is a particular Disney movie that sits at the top of my list of favorites - Mickey’s Christmas Carol. This is a must watch year in and year out. It holds such a special place in my heart that I have managed to procure s


Another glorious morning. It makes me sick!
While we are still in August, retail establishments are already putting out their seasonal selections for this year’s Halloween. Today’s Mug of the Day is not an officially licensed Disney product, however, it certainly evokes a great deal of Disney nostalgia if you are a fan of the movie Hocus Pocus. With a quirky feel similar to that of the movie’s dialog also demonstrated in the title of this entry (which is a direct quote from the movie), this mug says “Hocus Pocus I Ne


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


You just might flip over the Disney Flips Collection
Sometimes as a part of what brings us back to a place of nostalgia, iconic park characters are what triggers some very special memories within us. There are many different Disney characters that hold a special place in our hearts. So much so that it can be difficult to narrow it down to just one to bring home as a memento from our memorable Park visit. Enter the Disney Flips Collection. Personally, I am not a huge fan of stuffed animals, but these are pretty awesome and s


Good morning. If it is a good morning... which I doubt. ~Eeyore
Monday mornings. Monday - here we go again. I can’t believe it’s Monday already. I can’t stand Mondays. Not another Monday. Mondays, more often than not, are simply dreaded. Eeyore may have said it best on this amazing mug from Hallmark: Good morning. If it is a good morning… which I doubt. While it’s not my favorite mug in our cabinet, it certainly is the one I most often use on Mondays. This mug captures my Monday morning sentiment perfectly. And, more than I care


Aargh! Don't Ye Dare Plunder Me Pieces of Eight
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland, I present to you my collection of “Pieces of Eight” medal stamper token doubloons or whatever you call ‘em! A rare sign topper that I own from what I believe to be a more recent model stamper machine found at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. Growing up, I always took note of the stamped Disneyland pirate coin on my dad’s keychain. It read, “Chuck at Disneyland 1978”. I always thought


Mornings are my worst Nightmare.
My personal go-to mug. That mug, that I prefer day in and day out. Equal parts nostalgic appeal and functional convenience. It’s larger size - 20oz. - means fewer times walking to the kitchen for refills. It’s wider diameter - 3 ⅞” - means I can actually set it on the couch cushion next to me without much risk of tipping on it’s own. Then there is the subject matter. Ever since it’s release in 1993 (yes over 20 years old now!), Nightmare Before Christmas has been one of f
