List of ways to spend money on your cruise

What's so special about the laundry bag that it goes 'missing'?

It’s a draw-string fabric bag that has the words “Laundry Bag” and the DCL logo embroidered on it. I guess if you are looking for a (seemingly) cheap souvenir from your cruise, it technically fits the bill. Not sure how much they charge if it is missing.

Not sure how much they charge if it is missing.

It used to be 10 or 15 dollars, not 100% sure which. If I were a betting person, it has gone up along with everything else.

Great list of information so far. I have always said "Disney has mastered the art of separating people from their money, but you do get your monies worth".

For number 5, I would add wrist watch to the list, don't ask me how I know

Yup. four times over . Perfume too. Our son likes to pick out perfume from the options on the ship to gift to DW for Christmas.
