Reccomend some buy and hold stocks

I opened up my first trading account today with TD Ameritrade. I already have a Roth IRA that I'm maxing out and a 401k which I'm receiving the company match.
But I wanted to start buying and holding stocks with money which I currently have sitting in savings. I have a sum saved up which I'm comfortable with for an emergency fund. I want to invest amounts over this instead of holding it in savings.
I'm 25 and new to investing. My Roth and 401k consist of mutual funds and not individual stocks. I want to use this account to let my investments grow and learn more about investing along the way- no better way to learn than firsthand.
I'm going to start small, $500-$1,000. I don't plan on actively trading until I have a firmer understanding of concepts and the market.
I was thinking Disney for my first buy.

Exxon
XOM
Setup a DRIP (Divident REinvestment).
Trading around $83 right now, down from 52 week high of $104.xx. Good time to dump some money into them.

It was a life goal of mine to compile such a list last summer. I narrowed it to this. For what it's worth, I'm not sure about BP and I'd cross Century Link off the list. Not sure about Hewlett Packard either.

I'm just a bit older than you but recently started doing something similar. Been putting $300/month or so into a Vanguard index fund. These track a particular market or group of stocks instead of individual stocks. The good part about the Vanguard funds is that they're passively managed and therefore have very small management fees (like 0.05%).
I'm currently investing in VOO (S&P Index Fund), but I'm thinking about moving to VTI (a little broader based). I do think you have to put in a minimum of $3,000 to start, but I've been pretty happy with it. They'll let you auto deposit money from a checking or savings account into a money market fund (on a regular schedule). You can then buy from there.
It's a solid way to get some returns without having to manage it too heavily.

Im thinking about getting into SHAK now that the buzz has worn off. Anybody else looking at them now? Back in the mid to high 40s. Got all the way up to mid 90s not long ago before coming back down.

GILD. I think it'll reach $150 this year barring a stock market correction getting in the way.
JPM. They didn't even need the bailout from the mortgage crisis. They were only compelled to take it so that the other banks, especially smaller ones, would fall in line. It's well run and has one of, if not the, best bank CEOs in the industry. It'll benefit from interest rate increases.
BRK/B (or A if you can afford it, but I doubt you can
). Obviously well run, diversified, and provides insurance exposure, which will also benefit from interest rate increases.
AAPL. I don't care for AAPL or their products, but I'm not going to bet against the crowd; I don't want to be trampled.
MSFT. I think this could hit $50 by the end of the year, barring correction. Dividend isn't bad, either.
LL (but not right now). They've taken some strong hits this year, but I believe they will eventually recover. When their earnings start to recover and/or any lawsuits clear, I think I'll buy this.
After a stock market crash/correction, F may be a good buy. Remember that they are a cyclical, so shorting now wouldn't be a bad idea, and then go long when the market goes down.

CVX (I like them most right this second out of all of the big oil companies. I feel they are best suited to navigate the over supply issues in the near/mid term and have the most invested in income diversification in the long term)

Basically my favorites off of the Dividend Aristocrats.

You are young don't buy and hold be aggressive. Plus you already are diversified you can recover on any losses.
