Disney Merchandise

We saw a bunch of deals over the Thanksgiving weekend, and now we’re into prime shopping season as stores are stocked up with toys, home goods, and all kinds of gifts. But if you’re ordering online, there are some big deadlines you should know about!

Keep in mind that when you’re shopping online, you’ll need to factor in shipping time to make sure that your items arrive before Christmas day. Orlando’s Spectrum News 13 has shared a list of the big deadlines that you should know for major shipping carriers.

So there you go! Keep in mind that shipping dates vary with services like Amazon, so make sure to check those dates ASAP because availability may change depending on the item. Prime members can often score one-day shipping, which could be a lifesaver during the holidays!

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for any holiday merchandise deals that you need to know about, as well as any shipping delays or news. We’re ready to wrap those presents and stuff the stockings — let’s go!
