By 5 Comments

The issue stems from a previously-created Reedy Creek employee benefit that granted employees free access to the Disney World parks (it was essentially a Disney World Annual Pass). Reportedly, the collective cost of these passes and peks was worth about $2.5 million, according to the Central Florida Torusim Oversign District.

Well, there’s probably an answer to your question.

Disney Fans Can’t Stop Buying These $20 Souvenirs

By 1 Comment

$20 is one of those weird prices that is seen as low in some cases and high in others. A $20 salad better be made with the freshest ingredients out there, but a $20 Disney t-shirt is actually a pretty good deal.

Magic Kingdom

As Disney experts, we’re in the parks and resorts all the time, so we have a pretty good idea of what people like to buy. There’s one (roughly) $20 souvenir that seems to be SUPER popular, so let’s talk about why. What’s the big deal with popcorn buckets, anyway?
