Disney has noted that the Disney Cruise Line will likely be the last segment of the business to return, and other cruise companies are contending with similar lengthy closures.

Here at DFB, we’re all about some Disney-themed Christmas presents!
Zootopia Plushes
In fact, we like them so much that we’ve even compiled several Disney-themed gift guides for the holiday season! We’ve put together guides for those who miss old-school EPCOT, bread lovers (with some Disney touches), Childless Millennial Disney fans, and even a guide dedicated to all the awesome Disney toys to check out this year. All these guides include gifts you can shop online, but if you’re planning on ordering a Christmas present from shopDisney, then you only have a limited number of days left to guarantee that you get your gifts by Christmas!

And like us, you probably still have some more shopping to do. Luckily, we’ve compiled a bunch of gift guides, and even put together a guide for all your DFB merch wants and needs (you’re welcome 😉). Our store has lots of fun, Disney-inspired stuff — but if you want to get it in time for Christmas, you’d better make like Dash from The Incredibles, and HURRY to get shopping!

Las Posadas with Mariachi Cobre
One of our favorite live performances at the festival this year is Las Posadas with Mariachi Cobre! And while you can see photos and watch some of our videos of this great group, tomorrow you’ll actually get to watch them LIVE as they perform thanks to some special Disney magic!

Even though Disney Cruise Line sailings are currently suspended, guests are still able to plan for future trips. Recently, we’ve even seen updates on cruise ship construction and changes to the Port Canaveral terminal. And today, Disney Cruise Line has made some updates to their cancellation policy and final payment deadlines!
Tangled is one of those Disney movies that we’ve always felt is completely underrated!

Not only did it give us one the most endearing princesses of the modern age, Rapunzel, but it also introduced us to the smolder — the DEEP SMOLDER — of Flynn Rider! And although we see Rapunzel on bags, Funko Pops, and toys, we rarely see Flynn Rider on anything! BOO!

There have been numerous rumors whether Iger would run for Presidency in the last election. The former CEO planned to step down in 2021 but sped up the process earlier this year. Some believed Iger wanted an early retirement and others speculated that he may be running for office. Election Day has come and gone and it’s clear that Iger didn’t throw his hat into the ring. He has, however, admitted that he considered running for office.
