I have actually spent very little money at the theme parks. Except for a lunch at Disney-MGM, there has been no money spent. I purchased the actual tickets to enter the parks in Canada, because my firm could give me a discount. Here, nothing.
But I should buy some souvenirs. My parents and sister have gone out to go shopping while I’ve been invading Disney with my brother-in-law. I have seen things that I would like. I can probably still get some at the Epcot center tomorrow.
The one thing I really wanted was a tacky Mickey Mouse hat: The beanie with two ears sticking out the sides. But when I tried on the adult size, it was too small for my misshapen head. An Indiana Jones hat that might have been nice was also too small. I don’t think any hats in the one-size-fits-all/-none category here will fit me. Besides, I am not a hat person. The only time I wear a hat is when I am trying to look goofy. But I have seen a hat here, that might stretch, that would fit that look. And no, it is not associated with the Disney character of the same name.
I like villains. They are the coolest people in movies. They are the ones who go out and do things, instead of sitting around moping about unrequited loves. I briefly saw a cool towel that showed all the Disney villains together. Presumably talking about forming a baseball team or something. However, I haven’t seen it at other places. Including at the “Villains in Vogue” store???
A stuffed Stitch did look cute and adorable, but I can’t support too many stuffed critters at my place. I am going to hold steady at a single Gund polar bear.
One things I am probably going to get is a small Pirates of the Caribbean chest. You buy the chest, then fill it with assorted loot of your choice. As long as the lid closes, they don’t care how much is in there. And they have very nice wooden dice. Perfect squares could easily pack the thing mathematically complete. I calculate I could get 72 dice out of the process. At a cost of $0.22 per die. And you know how much gamers like dice…
But let’s face it. I don’t really need more stuff. And I should save my money.
Then again, a vacation is a poor investment strategy.
