Top 3 Tips for Your Disney Countdown: Is It Vacation Yet?


  1. Embrace the Disney Countdown:


One of the best ways to fuel your excitement for your Disney vacation is to embrace the countdown itself.

There are a few fun ways to do this. First, you can take advantage of the many Disney countdown clocks available online and on the Disney Parks app. These clocks will tick down the days, hours, and even minutes until your magical arrival.


If you're feeling more creative, you can also craft your own personalized countdown calendar. This is a great option for families or groups traveling together. Decorate a large poster board with Disney-themed decorations, and then add squares or circles for each day leading up to your trip. Each day, you can mark off a square or circle, or you can even add a fun Disney-related activity or trivia question to complete for each day.


2.-Host Themed Disney Movie Nights:


Another fantastic way to heighten your anticipation for your Disney vacation is to host themed Disney movie nights.


Cuddle up on the couch with your loved ones, pop in your favorite Disney movie (or a movie based on a ride or land you're excited to visit), and prepare some delicious Disney-inspired snacks and treats.
