One of my most favorite holidays of the year is fast approaching… Christmas. I love everything about it; the sights, the sounds, the music, the decorations and of course the fresh baked treats coming from the kitchen. I just love Christmas and the magic it brings to our home. For me the magic of Christmas comes from the love of Disney that my husband and I share. Our home is filled with the sights and sounds of all things Disney; from the decorations abound to the Disney village that adorns our mantle. It is such an emotional and meaningful time of year and nothing makes it better than by being surrounded by Mickey and Minnie. Read more

Disney Gift Giving: DeAnna’s Favorite Things….Disney Style!
The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching. You can see the signs of it surfacing on every shopping corner, as stores present finely decorated trees that seem to almost beckon you inside, and in those television ads leaning toward that “gotta have” toy for the kiddos, that fabulous piece of jewelry for her, or just the right power tool for him. As my dear ole Daddy used to sing to me when I was just a little girl, “CHRISTMAS TIME’S A-COMIN’”! So what’s on your Christmas wish list? Sit back, sip some hot cocoa, turn on the Christmas music, and I’ll tell you a few things that are on mine, with a twist of Disney, of course……… Read more
Disney Gift Giving: Debbie’s Wish List
With the holidays around the corner, we at The Affordable Mouse, of course, have a few Disney things on our Christmas wish lists….and we thought it might be fun to share what we’re wishing for with you! Hope you enjoy….and maybe get some good ideas for your lists! 🙂
It’s that time of year when you start thinking about that perfect gift. It will be either the perfect gift for a special loved one or perhaps something perfect that you are hoping to receive. While we all wish we could hop a plane or in the car for a quick trip to holiday shop at Walt Disney World, sometimes that is not practical. After the closure of the Disney Stores in many major cities, like it did here in Chattanooga, I can’t just run over the mall to see the latest Disney has to offer either. Thanks to the internet, it is so much easier to find those Disney gifts everyone wants without the trip expense. Read more
Disney Holiday Gift-Giving: Luggage and Bags Disney Style
Essential for any Disney vacation are those items you will need to “keep stuff in”, that is luggage, backpacks, tote bags, and diaper bags. The thing is, while these things are necessities, why not add a little “Disney” to something that is basically functional….and make it fun? The benefit of this is, of course, bringing the Disney love along with you PLUS having that happy Disney reminder day in and day out after you get home!
With that in mind then, here are some of my favorite Disney travel accessories (a few of which may end up on my Christmas wish list for our upcoming Disney World trip):
Disney Princess Luggage: On our first trip to Walt Disney World, one of the things that our daughter (then age 7) was most excited about was having her “own suitcase”. She would have loved the princesses on the outside. I would have loved the hard case and wheels that make it easy for little ones to take care of their own bag.
Disney Rolling Light-Up Buzz Lightyear Luggage: The solution for little boys, this case will help future Space Rangers to easily travel to Disney World, or Infinity and Beyond, whichever they prefer.
Blue 3-Piece Rolling Disney Luggage Set: For the grown-up on your list (or maybe you?? 🙂 ) I personally really like this 3 piece set for the sizes available and especially like that the duffle is wheeled. Plus, I love the blue color too. Yeah…this one’s going on my Christmas wish list.
Black 3-Piece Disney Rolling Mickey Mouse Luggage Set: This one’s for the person who really wants to have their Mickey on when traveling. One of the things I really like about this set is that you can EASILY pick out your luggage at baggage claim at the airport. 🙂
Tinkerbell Diaper Bag Backpack – Adjustable Shoulder Bag: Know someone who will be traveling to Disney World with a little one? A Disney diaper bag is a great gift idea. I love all the pockets on this one as well as the fact that it can be either a shoulder bag or back pack.
Disney Mickey Mouse Tote Bag: Having a tote bag of some sort is essential at the parks. At 15” x 17” this bag is roomy and it has a nice interior zippered compartment which I really like. Plus it’s just plain fun…..and also going on my Christmas list!
Disney Dooney & Bourke Black Tassle Tote: I will readily admit that this does NOT qualify as affordable….but it is gorgeous, and one can hope, right? Disney’s Dooney and Bourke collection is extremely popular and there are many different designs, patterns, and sizes that are available. And while this bag may or may not be in Santa’s budget this year, there are some smaller items like wallets, wristlets and such that can help you be stylishly Disney. But if we’re going to dream….then this is the one I’m dreaming of…..
Hope you found some great Disney Holiday gift items for your favorite Disney traveler…or for your own wishlist! Happy shopping!
