Disney Holiday Gift Ideas
Here are some of the best Christmas gift ideas for Disney lovers! [The words in PINK are links that take you right to Amazon to shop.]
Disney Toys
Mickey and Minnie Lego Art - I got 2 of these to make Mickey and Minnie. This was one of my favorite lego’s to make it was so relaxing!
Lego Disney castle - This Lego castle is a work of art! It’s sitting in the living room, I decorate it for the Holidays and it is makes one of the best gifts for Disney fanatics
Disney Doorables Encanto - A popular Disney Holiday gift for kids this year because Encanto is awesome!
Disney Store Mini Brands - Shoutout to my little cousin for keeping me in the loop with these adorable gifts
Disney Holiday Gift Ideas for the Whole Family
Disney Advent Calendar - One of my favorite holiday traditions is counting down to Christmas Day with an Advent calendar! I love this Disney one that includes Disney figures, stickers and more
Disney Funko Pops
Disney Travel Book Guide - I love these books for a few reasons. It is a great starting point and reference guide to help you plan your Disney vacation because there is just so much information to know. These books also make great memories since they have the year so you can remember what Disney was like the year you visited. I have these books from the early 2000’s and it is amazing to see how much the parks have changed since then.
Little Golden Book Disney Parks Library - A great pick up for all Disney fans as memorabilia and super cute reads for kids!
Jack Skellington Speaker - I picked this little guy up he’s super cute bluetooth speaker and portable so you can take it anywhere!
Autograph Book - there is nothing like getting those character autographs in the parks!
Park Hop Tees - I absolutely love these Disney themed tees especially because they are subtle enough to wear just every day even if you are not in the parks. Very comfortable and a great family run small business! You can use the code: “thekrystalpalace” for 15% off your order at checkout.
Gift Cards
If you are looking for Gifts for someone going to Disney, one of the best things you could get them is a gift card to help them enjoy their time in Disney! Also be sure to keep reading for travel essentials that are perfect for Disney trips!
T-Rex Cafe Gift Card - Love this restaurant in Disney Springs - so great to visit especially with kids
Rainforrest Cafe Gift Card - similar to the T-Rex Cafe but the Rainforest cafe is a classic with locations at Disney Springs and Animal Kingdom.
Starbucks Gift Card - Every Disney park has a Starbucks location and there are even 2 stores in Disney Springs. At Disney World, the cups have touches of Disney magic on them so it is always so much fun to enjoy a Starbucks drink on Main Street!
Mickey & Minnie Pop Up Christmas Card - because we need a card to put the gift cards in!
Christmas Gifts for Marvel Fans
Give the gift of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a Marvel fan this Christmas! Here are some of my favorite Marvel gifts right from Amazon.
Marvel Advent Calendar - I love this Funko Pop Marvel advent calendar great for collectors!
Marvel Super Hero Adventures Hulk Plush Stuffed Pillow Buddy
Groot Lego - Get ready for Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 by building a Groot lego!
Marvel Encyclopedia - This book makes awesome decoration and just really interesting to read and reference when watching Marvel movies!
Infinity Gauntlet Bottle Opener - this is such a favorite in my house. It is so fun opening bottles with none other than the infinity gauntlet.
Gifts for Harry Potter and Universal Fans
Wizarding World of Harry Potter Interactive Wand - this is the perfect gift for any Harry Potter fan especially if they are visiting Universal Orlando since they can use this throughout the Wizarding World to cast spells!
Compact Water Bottle - This bottle is great to bring to Universal and can be refilled with water throughout the parks at the Coke Freestyle Machines
Chocolate Frog Pin - This is my favorite pin from Universal PLUS it smells like chocolate!
Fizzing Whizbees - A great stocking stuffer for Harry Potter fans these are so much fun
Fanny Pack - I can’t visit Universal without my fanny pack! It makes visiting Universal more convenient because you do not have to store fanny packs in lockers for most rides so you can just get on!
Dramamine - I included this in the Universal section because there are a lot of motion simulator rides in Universal Studios that people prone to motion sickness may get a bit sick on. This non drowsy dramamine helps me so much!
Gifts for the Traveler
Charging station - I purchased this recently and it’s been one of my favorite Amazon finds. This is perfect to plug into hotel room outlets and even for use at home. This port can charge 8 batteries at once. Many hotel rooms have limited number of outlets to use so now I never have a problem charging!
Apple AirTag - Another top pick for travelers the Apple AirTag is amazing not only for travel but just daily life. I recently put it in my checked bag when visiting Disneyland to track it on the flight then put it in my park bag just in case I left it behind!
Mophe Portable Charger - If you want something that lasts longer than fuelrods or you are visiting a place that doesn’t have FuelRod stations then this portable charger is for you. Joey always steals this one from me because it is just that good! It’s also light and compact perfect for Disney park bags.
Luggage Lock - Really great if you are checking luggage. This one is easy to use and does not require a key.
Ponchos - great for visiting Disney and Universal. If you purchase them online before your trip, you will save a lot of money not having to buy ponchos in the parks.
Steripods - I swear by these! Keep your toothbrush sterile while traveling and even at home by using Steripods. You can also set up reminders so Steripod will let you know when it’s time to replace it for a new one. These make a great stocking stuffer!
Advil Packs - I love these little packets to put in my park bag.
Travel Umbrella - because we all know how crazy the Orlando weather can be…
Motion Sickness Bands - I love these bands they are pressure points on your wrist to help with motion sickness!
APL Sneakers - My all time favorite sneakers. They are so comfortable, don’t give you blisters and they are slip ons. So easy to get on and off especially if you are going to wear them through Airport security.
Adidas Socks - these are the socks I always wear with my sneakers!
FuelRods - Disney and Universal has FuelRod stations throughout the parks. These are portable phone chargers so when the portable charger battery runs out, you can find a station around the park and swap it out for a new, fully charged one! They are also small and perfect to fit in a fanny pack or backpack.
Liquid IV - another item I swear by. This makes such a great stocking stuffer. Especially on hot days at the park or just even around the house I put a liquidiv in my water bottle for double the hydration.
Neck Fan - this is the best neck fan for Disney. It’s comfortable, light, and feels amazing to wear around the parks on those hot Florida days!
FitBit Watch - to count those steps!
Fujifilm Camera - this makes such a nice gift for all ages. This camera is a “polaroid” so you take a picture and it prints out right then and there!
Backpack - We purchased this backpack for my dad as a carryon and it is one of the best especially for the price. It is super lightweight and perfect for airport travel and even brining around the parks.
Carry on luggage - This is a great carry on luggage for a great price. It rolls so smoothly!
Phone ring light - because we all have to get those park selfies, even if lighting is not the best!
Phone pocket - I almost always have one of these on my phone. It is great to use at the parks too because you can put your cards and even cash in the phone pocket so it is accessible!
Cooling Towel - once again, Florida is HOT!
Hopefully this article gave you some ideas on what you can get the theme park fan on your Christmas list. I am so excited for the holiday season and what better way to celebrate than bringing some Disney magic to your home with these best Disney Christmas gifts.
See you in the next one. Peace!
