Many of us would love nothing more than to commemorate our Disney vacation with the perfect souvenir.

Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth, a place where nothing bad ever happens and people are always on their best behavior, am I right? Okay, you can stop laughing now, for we all know how erroneously exaggerated and untrue that statement is. It is quite unfortunate that this land where people strive so very hard to ...

Walt Disney World is not exactly synonymous with short lines.
