Let’s just get this out of the way: What your family really wants for Christmas is a trip to Disney World. They don’t want a slanket or a weird onion choppy thing or a “hot toy.” They want to go to Disney World with YOU. (And you want that, too.)
So you wanna know how you totally WIN CHRISTMAS this year? Don’t waste your money on *things* — nobody cares about them and they end up in a box under the bed gathering dust. Instead, book your family a Disney World EXPERIENCE and put IT under the tree.
And DFB has pulled some strings to give you the best way to book that vacation…AND put it under the tree for your family to open and celebrate.
We’re stoked to be partnering with Small World Vacations to help YOU surprise YOUR family with the trip of a lifetime, and we’re including a holiday goodie box straight from Disney World that your family can open together on Christmas morning (or Christmas Eve…or Hanukkah…whatever…you do you).
Cinderella Castle all lit up during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Yep, if you book within the dates listed below, you’ll not only get world class service from Small World Vacations, but also a hand-picked goodie box of fun stuff FROM Disney World that Sue from Small World and I put together ourselves.
Inside that goodie box will be Mickey and Minnie holiday ears, a Disney cookbook with a special note from AJ (HEY! That’s ME!), exclusive merch from this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, fun Disney eats, and MORE. It’ll be a blast to open with your family, and then you can start dreaming about your upcoming trip!
DFB and SWV Holiday Goodies Gift Box!
