Stanley Vitalize Backpack
Some of our favorite items to test out in the parks are different bags and backpacks, since they can be such an integral part of your experience.

It’s a FANTASTIC day in Disney World because we just spotted one of our favorite Muppets in a place we don’t normally find him.

When we think of the Fourth of July and Disney, our brains immediately go to Sam Eagle from The Muppets. More specifically, his “glorious, three-hour finale” he had planned for Muppet*Vision 3D, and his overall patriotic nature. It’s only natural, then, to have him be a big part of the holiday in Disney World, and this is the year we FINALLY get it in the form of a truly adorable popcorn bucket!
