Disney holiday gift guide to support Disney cast members

November 16, 2020 by Becky 7 Comments

Below is a special Disney holiday gift guide to support Disney cast members who have been laid off or furloughed by shopping their Etsy shops!

While the pandemic has been hard on everyone in different ways, as a Disney fan my heart really goes out to the Disney cast members who have been furloughed or laid off. Disney has laid off over 30,000 on their cast members at this point, many of whom were with the company for years. Many of them have families to support, or have dedicated their lives and careers to Disney. Or maybe they were just starting out and were fulfilling their dream of working there. 

There have been various ways to donate, but one way you can help these cast members is to support their side businesses or new ventures. Many of them create things, sell on Etsy, provide services, etc. I’ve collected a list (this is just a sampling!) of laid off cast members who sell on Etsy. I figured with the holidays coming up and lots of Disney fans to shop for, this would be the perfect way to support them and get some unique items as gifts.

This truly is just a small amount of cast member shops and services – I focused on Etsy but plenty have businesses run through their own websites, instagram, etc. If you’d like to check out all of the options join the facebook group Ear for Each Other. There are so many so I just highlighted some of my favorites here. Many of these things would be great stocking stuffers as well!

So if you need to do some holiday shopping and you want to support the laid off or furloughed Disney cast members at the same time, these shops are the perfect way to do so!

    This is such a wonderful idea! I had a girls weekend planned to go to Disney for a race weekend. It was cancelled, but I still want to get everyone a Disney-themed Christmas gift. This is a perfect way to be festive & support cast members.

    This is so great! I love the idea of being able to support the cast members who have been laid off. My family isn’t planning much in the way of gift exchanging this year, but we are all Disney fans. I’m sure I can find a little surprise for everyone from this list!
