This is not a post about Drinking Around the World Showcase. Sorry if I got you too excited! No, it’s a post about that evil device (that I’m sure was created by a woman, but I have no proof of that) called the necktie.

The five faces of Mickey

As you have probably gathered, I actually like wearing ties. I regret that there aren’t more occasions where one of these Disney-themed ties would be appropriate!
