A Salute to Traveling The USA BUT Mostly Disney

06/18/2026

🏎️ ANOTHER WIN! 🏎️

We scored the **Lightning McQueen Race Car Popcorn Bucket** on Wednesday! 🍿✨

Here's the crazy part: We were scrolling through ALL the posts about the insane wait times and figured they'd be completely gone by the time we got there. But while grabbing our **Num Num Cookie** 🍪 for our livestream snack, I just casually added one to the order and BOOM — secured! 🎉

**The FOMO is REAL though!** 😅 Later in the day, I was totally tempted by the **Mandalorian & Grogu Backpack Sipper** (and I had the PERFECT justification — I need it as my hydration pack for Saturday's Virtual runDisney 5K at Caribbean Beach and Riviera Resort! 🏃‍♂️💧). But I held back... and now I'm second-guessing that decision! 😂

**Real talk:** These popcorn buckets and collectibles are part of what makes Disney trips so special! It's not just about the rides — it's about the little treasures and memories you take home! 🏰💕

☀️ BEATING THE HEAT AT HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS! ☀️

10:30 AM and it's already 90 degrees, but we're staying cool and fueled up! 🍪🥪

Just grabbed a **Num Num Cookie** (those chocolate chunks are CALLING our name! 🍫) and a delicious **Ham & Cheese** from **ABC Commissary**! 😋 This is the perfect combo to power through a hot morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios! 🎬✨

Pro tip: Early snacks = early energy boost before the heat really kicks in! Plus, ABC Commissary is a hidden gem for quick, tasty bites without the crazy lines! 🙌

**Real talk:** Days like this remind us why strategic planning matters for your Disney trip! Knowing where to grab great food, when to take breaks, and how to beat the heat makes ALL the difference in creating those magical core memories! 💪✨
