BEST CYBER MONDAY DISNEY DEALS

Black Friday is over and now you get to sit back and relax and shop from your computer because it’s Cyber Monday! Today we have rounded up the best deals for Disney fans, with a look at the best discounts on everything from Disney toys to travel.

While some of the Black Friday weekend deals are still live so check out our post about Black Friday Specials if you haven’t already.

As always, the go-to place for Disney merchandise is…Disney. On top of normal savings, you can save another 30% off purchases of $150 or more on shopDisney with promo code CYBYRRR. That’s on top of discounts on parks merchandise, toys, holiday decor, etc.

DISNEY TOYS, BOOKS & MOVIES

LEGO Star Wars Assault on Hoth ($247) – Holy cow does this look cool. Given the price, it should be pretty cool. LEGO sets are one of the Deals of the Day, so you can click here to find many other sets that’s on sale!

Disney Frozen Musical Elsa ($18) – Take 40% off this Elsa doll that sings “When We’re Together.” Elsa is wearing (what I assume is?) a new dress from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.

Dance Code Princess Belle ($60) – My first reaction was “how is this doll still $60 after a 40% discount?” After reading about it, that turned to “wow, keep that possessed doll away from me.” With that said, I must admit that if I were a kid it’d probably be really cool to be able to program a doll to perform dance routines for Belle to perform.

Disney Elena of Avalor Royal Castle ($29) – At 3 feet tall, this is a pretty sizable gift for the price.

Moana Adventure Collection ($15) – Cool Maui and Moana dolls that are 63% off.

Star Wars Chewbacca Electronic Mask ($13) – This internet-famous Chewbacca mask is 60% off for Cyber Monday.

Cars 3 Lightning McQueen 20″ Vehicle ($6) – Half off a large sized Lightning McQueen toy.

The Lion King: Walt Disney Signature Collection (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD) ($13) – There are actually 16 Disney movies on sale at Target, and some incredible deals in there. I’ve been having trouble getting Target’s site to load, but that comes with the territory on Cyber Monday.

DISNEY TRAVEL GADGETS & ACCESSORIES

Anker PowerCore Lipstick Charger ($10) – This Lightning Deal will probably be sold out by the time most of you wake up, but if you’re able to take advantage, it’s a great deal at 75% off. Let’s hope another external battery Lightning Deal shows up later, as there’s not much in the way of external batteries aside from this right now.

Lightweight Travel Backpack ($12) – Another Lightning Deal (for some colors and sizes), this super lightweight bag is perfect for a day bag in the parks, and will easily pack into your luggage.

4-Port USB Hub ($7) – I’m not a fan of this plugging into a USB port (I prefer the wall versions), but it’s a good deal, and the wall version that’s currently on “sale” is actually not that good of a deal.

Professional Travel-Sized Hair Dryer ($13) – Huge savings on a high-quality hair dryer. Sarah always travels with her own dryer, as the ones provided at Disney hotels don’t cut it.

Compression Luggage Cubes ($14) – The best of both worlds in terms of organization and saving space in your suitcase. At 77% off, this is an incredible deal!

Digital Travel Luggage Scale ($6) – A convenient method for weighing luggage while on the move, to make sure you didn’t buy too many Tsum Tsums during your Walt Disney World vacation.

4K Waterproof Action Camera ($70) – Basically a knock-off GoPro. Given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and you can’t go wrong saving another 50% off the already-discounted price.

TravelPro Crew11 Suitcase ($112) – This 75% off suitcase really deserves more attention. TravelPro is the only brand of suitcase we use. It’s the most popular brand with flight attendants, and for good reason–mine still looks brand new after years of heavy use. Sarah just purchased this exact bag when it was on sale for Prime Day.

Mission Enduracool Towel ($3) – We purchased two of these on Prime Day since they were on sale, and we accidentally(?) received two cases. We still prefer Frogg Toggs as a way to stay cool on hot and humid days at Walt Disney World. However, at only $3.54 (76% off), this is a great deal–especially if you don’t like the residue of Frogg Toggs. Added UV protection and free lip balm sweetens the deal.

There are a bunch of other great deals online, but we recommend opening the Amazon Cyber Monday Deals homepage, and browsing the ‘Deals of the Day’ and the shopDisney.com website. Ebay is also a great place to find the best deals on all you Disney needs.

Disney Stance Snow White Sox Will Make Your Feet the Fairest of Them

Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, and as expected that comes with tons of collaborations with all the top merchants.

Following on from Le Creuset‘s dreamy poison apple pot, the original Disney princess is teaming up with Stance for an extra-special sock collection.

[metaslider id=989]

The film itself was released in 1937 and the sock design is in keeping with the art deco movement of the time. The patterns feature Snow White, Maleficent and a fairytale castle scene reimagined in tones of deep green, mustard yellow and vibrant neon pink – all designed by artist Jaz Meier. Pick your favorite pair or collect all three – The Snow White Collection from Disney & Stance launches on November 27th and will be available at shopDisney.

Stance is a brand all about expressing your individuality through cool printed socks. In our case, that means showing off your Disney fandom and style!

ICYMI, they’ve had collections around classic Mickey and Minnie, Star Wars, and the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Now, along with a number of other reputable brands including Saks Fifth Avenue, they’re celebrating the 80th anniversary of Disney’s first full-length animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Primark Chip Purse and Slippers are a Thing of Beauty and a HOT seller

Just when you thought Primark couldn’t improve it’s Chipping game. Now they’ve come up with another thing of Beauty. The latest in the sell-out Beauty And The Beast range is a Chip bag. These items are as hot as tea at tea time. So if you’re having trouble finding them then you can find them here on Ebay.

The bag, featuring the cheeky face of everyone’s favourite teacup, is a fashion must-have for all Disney fans. The purse, which features a gold handle nose and a gold coloured zip, has left some fans desperate, with many tweeting Primark begging for them to re-stock shelves soon. Again you can hind them here on Ebay.

Presumably off the back of the success of Primark’s Chip mug – it sold out in seconds, basically – the store has designed some huge character-inspired slippers to keep you cosy this winter. Primark is now selling enchanting slippers also featuring that cheeky teacup Chip. Those you can also find on Ebay.

So passionate have some enthusiasts become over trying to get their hands on the accessory, which is based on the 1991 version of the character – the first animated film to be nominated for an Oscar – that they’ve dubbed it #Chipgate on social media. You can find all of the Beauty and the Beast items at Ebay.

VIDEO: Saks Fifth Avenue and Disney Unveil Holiday Windows

Saks Fifth Avenue held its massive holiday window unveiling last Monday night. This year, the retailer partnered with Disney to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and transformed all 14 of its Fifth Avenue-facing windows into scenes from the film. The vignettes, which were presented by Mastercard, included Snow White dancing with woodland creatures, the seven dwarfs Heigh-Ho!-ing, and the Wicked Queen concocting her spell with the infamous red apple.

Four designers known for their eveningwear were tapped to bring in a fashion element to the celebration. Alberta Ferretti, Naeem Khan, Monique Lhuillier, and Marchesa created one-of-a-kind fairytale gowns inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Saks president Marc Metrick and Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media Chairman Jimmy Pitaro hosted the celebration, which included a 10-story-tall theatrical light show and a performance from Sofia Carson, the recording artist and actress from Disney’s Descendants, which was set to a backdrop of a 40-person choir and performances from Snow White, Snow Prince, and the seven dwarfs. With children in tow, Naomi Watts and Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka swung by to check out the spectacle that was a year in the making.

The window animation and light show will continue throughout the holiday season until January 2, 2018.
