4 Advent calendars for Disney fans counting down to Christmas

The countdown to the countdown to Christmas has begun! That means you have about a month to line up your Advent calendar before it’s time to open that first little door Dec. 1.

This year we have four Advent Calendar ideas for Disney fans of all different stripes. Three include small gifts for every day, while the four puts the pressure on: It gives you 25 little drawers to fill on your own. (We suggest candy and love notes … with something especially sparkly in the 25th drawer!) If you plan to come up with 25 gifts on your own, all the more reason to start early! So let’s go:
