Disney Activities To Do At Home

Bring the Magic of Disney Home

Has your Disney vacation been canceled or rescheduled due to COVID-19? While the closure of Disney parks is necessary to curb the spread of the virus, it saddens Disney lovers everywhere. Though nothing can replace visiting the parks, here are a few ways to bring a spark of Disney magic to your home until we "see you real soon!"

Virtual Disney Days

Modern technology and YouTube make taking a virtual park day easy! Start by listening to park entrance music from Epcot or Main Street, U.S.A. during breakfast (we suggest Mickey-shaped pancakes). Then, virtually hop aboard popular attractions like Peter Pan’s Flight, Slinky Dog Dash, and Frozen Ever After with this Disney ride-through video list from Romper. It’s like your very own living room park-hopper pass! At 3 o’clock, gather the family to watch the Festival of Fantasy parade.

End your evening with a viewing of Happily Ever After! If video ride-throughs aren't enough, spend the afternoon recreating your favorite Disney attraction at home. For more fun, have a Disney "world tour" day and view rides, shows, and parades from Disney parks worldwide. Add nostalgia by searching for bygone attractions like the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride. Swap stories with your family about how the parks have evolved over the years.

Disney Recipes & Crafts

Disney is a foodie paradise, so any virtual park day wouldn’t be complete without some Disney snacks! Find genuine Premium Mickey Bars at your local grocery store, or recreate your favorite Disney recipes. Test your cooking skills with a recipe from the parks and resorts using this comprehensive Disney recipe list. If your family is crafty, spend an afternoon doing arts and crafts Disney-style. Disney Family offers a section dedicated to Disney crafts, including home decor, kids' crafts, and holiday favorites.

Disney Game Night

Get the kids off their screens and enjoy quality family time together! There are plenty of Disney-themed board games like Candy Land, Monopoly, and Headbanz available on Amazon. Disney trivia and charades are other great games to play with your family. Alternatively, download the Play Disney Parks app and play Disney trivia from anywhere, no park admission required.

Themed Movie Marathons

The new Disney+ streaming service elevates movie marathons. Spend a day in a galaxy far, far away with a Star Wars movie marathon. Or, view all the Disney Princess movies in chronological order and see how Disney has evolved over the years. Have a sing-along marathon with favorites like Mary Poppins, The Lion King, and Frozen. Pick a decade and watch every Disney movie from that era (perhaps 90s animated films?). Encourage your Jedis and princesses to dress up and make special snacks for a fully immersive experience.
