Working much like other well known deal sites such as Groupon and Living Social, Disney Family Deals looks to offer Disney fans deals on such Disney-related things as merchandise and vacations. In addition, the company has partnered with Plum District to also offer up fans and families "local" deals to help save them money on events, merchandise and such in and around their own area.
