I confess to having very little willpower when I get stuck and there is the solution available. In a moment of weakness I peeked.
I must say this is absolutely brilliant.

Again, if you are stuck, send me a pm or email. I can micro-nudge pretty easily on this one.

Boy I was there with everyone had the beginning but…
Then it hit me; I don’t have good internet access so I can’t check but if I’d otherwise I’d be amazed

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

An experience that mirrors @BarbaraK's -- a fairly reasonable guess, and then, oh look! confirmation!
It took me an extra moment to appreciate the wording of clue 5D; but I did!
Wonderful construction, Peter! Thanks.

Great one and fun one to start off the trip. (I'm going alphabetically)
Caught step one pretty quickly, got up made lunch sat down and it jumped off the puzzle right at me.
Thanks @Abide .

The product has got to be the but no idea who the parent company was.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Was in the rain over this one, put it aside, and took another look after solving Richard Allen's - and at my first glance, the clouds parted and the sun came out. Thoughtfully constructed.

Finally got this with the slightest of nudges from Peter. Just brilliant! Had most of the pieces, but like BarbaraK above, I guessed the answer and figured OK, that's kind of cool. Then I saw the final piece... wow! Really great, Peter!

Loved it, Peter! I started working on this a while ago and got distracted by who knows what. This afternoon as I was cleaning up my crossword "pile" (puzzles I've printed and put in a big basket beside my favorite chair), I realized I'd never gotten around to finding the meta. It took one quick look, and there it was, staring me in the face! Thank you!
