How Do You Keep Disney Magic Alive Between Trips?

How do you keep the Disney magic alive between trips or when your next trip is too far away to imagine?  More than one Disney enthusiast has found themselves wishing to recapture the magic, the Disney magic.

Here are some ways to keep the Disney magic alive between trips:

• Check out Disney themed web-sites or on-line communities.  There are many sites dedicated to all things Disney and several offer trip reports so you can read about other’s Disney adventures and live vicariously through them.  And, who knows, you might pick up a tip or two.
• Get out the Disney gear.  Don’t save that Mickey cup, use it for your orange juice or milk.  Find and use those Disney themed items for everyday use.  It will bring a smile to your face!
• Watch a Disney show or movie.  We like to watch the Disney “Sing-a-long” videos just so we can figure out where on Disney property they were filmed.  And, it gives us a Disney song and character fix, too.
• Thanks to the internet, there are web-sites that offer Disney music 24/7 and Disney themed podcasts can be downloaded to your iPod for listening when exercising.  We like the “Four Parks, One World” CD set and have it playing often.  We like to guess the attraction that goes with the music.
• Get out the photo albums, videos, or scrapbooks from previous trips.  It will bring back fond memories and a bit of Disney magic.
• Grab a Disney guide book and refresh your memory or challenge yourself with some Disney trivia. 
• Play a Disney themed game.  Many traditional games come in a Disney version.  Even Scene It has a Disney version.

The number one way to keep the Disney magic alive is to plan the next trip!
