\"Ways<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all know that feeling you get when your Disney vacation is over. You\u2019re headed back to work, school starts early in the morning, or you\u2019ve got that big pile of laundry staring at you. It\u2019s hard to beat the post-vacation blues, especially when you\u2019ve just returned from the Most Magical Place\u00a0on Earth. I\u2019ve compiled my five best tips for staying in the Disney spirit once you\u2019ve returned to the real world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy some Disney dining at home<\/h2>\n

I love to eat; in fact, one of my favorite parts of a Disney trip is the memorable dining! From a Mickey-shaped pretzel to Tonga Toast at Kona Caf\u00e9<\/a>, some of my best memories from Disney vacations involve food! One my favorite ways to continue the Disney magic upon returning home is to incorporate some Disney magic into my dining! Whether it\u2019s making Mickey-shaped pancakes on Saturday morning, or trying to recreate my favorite meal from a recent trip, it definitely keeps me in that Disney spirit! My coffee and tea is always served in a Disney mug too; nothing makes a Monday morning brighter like sipping coffee from a Disney mug! I also love to pick up some souvenirs at the Confectionery<\/a> on Main Street U.S.A. before catching a flight back to New York. Having a snack from Disney always puts me in a better mood!<\/p>\n

Listen to some Disney music<\/h2>\n

I work in a hospital, so when I\u2019m not seeing patients, I\u2019m often at the computer documenting my visits or doing other administrative tasks. When I feel the Disney Blues, I\u2019ve found that playing some Walt Disney World background music at my desk really brightens my work day! I like to listen to background loops from my favorite places throughout The World, such as the Grand Floridian, Main Street U.S.A., and the World Showcase. The music transports me back to my most recent trip, and makes it easier for me to get my work done! Snow White\u00a0was right about whistling while you work!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disneybound<\/h2>\n

Many Disney guests participate in something called Disneybounding<\/a> on their vacations, and this is something you could easily bring back home to keep you in that magical mindset. Disneybounding is wearing normal street clothes with the same colors, patterns, or themes of your favorite Disney character. For instance, to bound as Mickey Mouse, you may wear a black top, red pants, and yellow shoes. Since you\u2019re not wearing a costume, per say, you could easily Disneybound to work, school, or the gym. Just knowing that you\u2019re wearing Disney colors may put a smile on your face as you head back to the real world!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look through those trip photos<\/h2>\n

Remember all of those photos you took during your Disney trip? Pull out your phone, your camera, or open up Disney PhotoPass<\/a> to reminisce about all of the fun you had on vacation! When I\u2019m missing Disney, looking at that beautiful picture of Cinderella Castle or of my family meeting Olaf always makes me smile. I\u2019ve also created photo books, magnets, or collages online; creating the photo book is a ton of fun, and you\u2019re left with a souvenir that you can display. My office is full of little Disney mementos, making it a happy place for me to get work done!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plan your next trip!<\/h2>\n

You probably saw this one coming. The best way to beat those post-Disney blues has to be planning the next trip! Disney-lovers all know that planning an upcoming visit is half the fun! From counting down to the 180 mark to scheduling FastPass+<\/a> and dining reservations, planning a Disney vacation definitely gets you in the Disney spirit.<\/p>\n
