Just a few months ago at the #DisneyUnwrapped media event, I got a sneak peek at Disney Consumer Products holiday toy, costume, wearable and accessory must-haves for 2014. Among those represented were Marvel's newest Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, this fall's new Star Wars Rebels animated series, the expanded Disney's Frozen product line, Disney Princess Palace Pets, Big Hero 6 and many others.
Take a look for yourself at the 2014 Disney Dozen -- the top toys this holiday shopping season in stores now -- to answer the question once again why the brand continues to endure.
