I make a list of the days we will be away, add the weather, write out what Miss R will wear, and I begin rounding up my packing items. ( You are getting a look inside my brain. Scary, right!!!) I will writ...

The price for Disney's Resort Refillable Drink mugs have increased to 14.49 plus tax. When you purchase these golden mugs, you are only able to use them at Disney Resorts.
