While I have to admit I  am not a basketball fan, I do look forward to March Madness. Not because of the games that are played, but because I am in love with the Disney Store and Disney Parks Blog March Madness merchandise event.

The Disneyland Dreamers and Walt Disney World Wonders are offering up twenty four players for you to choose from.
