  • Vacation Countdown Ideas for Disney Vacation

    For our Disneyland vacation countdown, my children and I watch a Disney or Pixar movie every day until we leave. For this year’s trip to Disneyland, we started a few nights ago with Moana, followed by Moana 2, and then Encanto last night. My kids love this tradition, as it creates great family time while we wait for our trip. This year, we’ve taken turns picking the movies, but in previous years, we drew movie titles from a bucket. We’d write several movie names on pieces of paper, and picking one each day added an element of surprise and reduced arguments over what to watch.

    We also often create a Disneyland vacation countdown calendar to mark the days before our trip. In previous years, I’ve made Disney-themed calendars using PowerPoint and a calendar template. I simply add Disney images and label it as “Disney Vacation Countdown.” Or you can create your own using images and text like I did in the picture below, starting with however many days you have left until your vacation. Then you can mark each day off as you go. You can choose different themes like Mickey and Minnie or any favorite Disney movie. I enjoy finding creative ways to count down to our Disney vacations, so please share any countdown activity suggestions in the comments!

  • Exciting Disneyland Vacation Plans: Dining and Events to Enjoy

    Today marks 45 days until our next Disneyland vacation. My family and I can’t wait and will be counting down the days until we leave. At this point, we have our reservations all made for hotels and parks, as well as our dining reservations. We will be staying at Pixar Place for the first few nights and then moving to the Grand Californian for the last few nights of our trip. We are excited to get to go to Breakfast with Minnie and Friends at Plaza Inn and try Oga’s Cantina for the first time. We will also be going to one of our favorite places for brunch, Lamplight Lounge. My kids love their food, including the Lobster Nachos.

    We are also looking forward to enjoying Star Wars Nite on two different nights this year. Participating in the event for two nights will hopefully allow us time to see everything the event has to offer.
