Spotted: Disney World “Wish I Was There” Mug

On a recent trip to the River Roost to catch a Yeeha Bob show, I couldn’t resist stopping in Fulton’s General Store (the merchandise shop in Port Orleans – Riverside Resort). For better or for worse, the past year brought on a resurgence of an old mug habit for me, due in no small part to the Resort-specific mugs that popped up around Disney World (like the one for the Contemporary Resort).

Alas, they were all out of the Port Orleans — Riverside mug that I had hoped to pick up, but I did spot this new-to-me mug while I was there.

Rather than being Resort or park-specific, this one does a nice job of showing various aspects of experiences all over the Disney World parks, featuring scrapbook-like images of favorite attractions mixed with beloved characters. For instance, here’s a little something for all you fans of Figment out there.

Continuing our Grand Circle Tour ‘round the mug, I love the incorporation of the Partners Statue from the Magic Kingdom hub, and Monorail Blue winding its way through Epcot.

Pluto looks a little nervous around the Haunted Mansion, which is, of course, extra-foreboding at night.

So, yeah, it’s pretty cute, and I like all the aspects of the parks represented on the outside.

Still, call me sentimental… but it’s what appears inside the mug that is totally the clincher.

"Wish I was there..."

“Wish I was there…”

It’s $14.95, and as I mentioned, I spotted it at Fulton’s, so I would imagine it’s also at the major merch locations like Epcot’s Mouse Gears and Magic Kingdom’s Emporium. I haven’t seen it, though, on the Shop Disney Parks app (the app which allows you to purchase Disney Parks merchandise directly from the app). I searched through all the mugs on Shop Disney Parks, but no dice just yet.

Of course, I did find several more I wanted to add to my collection. So, I gotta go. Time to try and make some more room in my kitchen cabinets…

Do you have a favorite kind of Disney souvenir you pick up when you’re in the parks? Please let us know with a comment!
