Merchandise Spotlight: Disney Cuddleez Plush
One of my favorite Disney merchandise is plushies. When I was younger, I remember my parents taking me to the Disney Store to pick one plushie as a reward for doing something good. I can literally see the perfect mountain of plushies display that was in the store in my mind as I write this blog post. Disney plushies hold a special meaning to my heart because it was one of my first Disney experiences. One of my newest favorite Disney Plushies is the Disney Cuddleez Plush.
What is a Disney Cuddleez Plush?
Disney Cuddleezes are extremely soft plush(the material reminds me of the material of Squishmellow and the Disney Wishables), in which the character is lying flat on its belly with a sleeping look on its face. I should say that the majority of the Disney Cuddleez Plushies are in this sleeping position. I have seen one Disney Cuddleez Plush that is not lying flat on its belly and doesn’t have a sleeping look on its face.
There are two sizes of the Disney Cuddleez I have seen- regular/standard( which on a larger size) and mini ones. I love and prefer the regular and standard-size ones. Their size (the regular/standard size) reminds me of a standard pillow but in the shape of a character. They are perfect for cuddling (hence the name) and to use as a pillow. They (regular/standard) are on my new favorite travel pillow for trips in the car. I even took one on my Disney Cruise by strapping it down on my carry-on suitcase.

Disney Cuddleez in My Collection
I have 4 Disney Cuddleez (regular/standard) in my collection of plushies. I could not just have one! The first one I purchased was Figment with the next being Black Panther then Groot. Louis is the latest one.
I purchased some (Grogu and Spider Man) for my niece and nephew this past Christmas. I have my Tiktok on them. Click here to see Grogu and here for Spider Man.
I do have one mini Cuddleez (Stitch Mini Cuddleez) that my best friend gave me as gift for the holidays.
I want to purchase more of the regular/standard-size ones and hope they come out with more characters. If Disney would come out with a Genie one, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
