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

We’ve all been there. You are missing Walt Disney World. Every Disney fan struggles with the ever feared Disney blues after returning from a Walt Disney World vacation. For those of us who get to go less frequently, like myself, those blues can be even harder!<\/p>\n

So. How do we fight those Disney blues when we\u2019re not at our second home? Here are my best tips to cure the Disney blues!<\/p>\n

Reusable Shopping Bags<\/h4>\n

One of my favorite ways to keep the Disney magic alive at home is with the reusable shopping bags! Each park has a few different sizes that you can purchase. On my last trip, I stocked up on every size from each park! Here in Canada, single use plastic bags are becoming extinct, so we have to use our reusables. I love bringing these to the grocery store to keep the Disney love going! These bags are also really good quality. Grab a few on your next vacation!<\/p>\n

Drinking from Resort Mugs<\/h4>\n

If you’re like me, you’ve got a ton of resort mugs kicking around from previous stays at a Walt Disney World resort. I LOVE to drink out of these. It really reminds me of my favorite place & if I close my eyes, I can almost pretend I’m there. I also love tumbler cups with straws, so these are perfect for me with a straw. You can also drink out of other souvenir cups & mugs to bring some magic with each sip!<\/p>\n

Exploring the My Disney Experience App<\/h4>\n

I love to keep the My Disney Experience App<\/a> on my phone even when I\u2019m not in the parks. It\u2019s fun to pop in, check the wait times, look at the character locations, \u201cpretend\u201d to book some dining reservations-everything! Not only does this help cure my blues, it also helps me research for my next Disney vacation. (Editor’s Note: Granted, right now, with the parks being closed, we sure are missing the ability to check wait times.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Disney Crafting<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re an artistic, creative person, have a Disney crafting night! Try interesting some ideas, or search the Mouse for Less. Myself & other bloggers have done a ton of cute crafts. ( Disney Wall Board,<\/a> Up! Canvas<\/a>, DIY Letters<\/a> )<\/p>\n

Play Disney Board Games<\/h4>\n

Are you a board game player? I am! I love to play Disney board games, like Disney Scene It, Disney Pictionary & so much more with friends at home. Something simple, but fun, that reminds me of my favorite place in the world!<\/p>\n

Looking at Old Pictures & Videos<\/h4>\n

This one makes me a little sad, but I still enjoy looking back at old trip photos & videos – especially the ride videos! Everyone looks so happy on the ride videos. It gets me excited to plan another trip!<\/p>\n

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

Create a Shadow Box\/Vision Board<\/h4>\n

I have a shadow box from past Disney trips, as well as memory boxes with keepsakes from each trip. I love waking up to my memory box. For me, it serves as both a memory shadow box & a vision board! Reminds me of where I’ve been & where I am dreaming to go!!<\/p>\n

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

Enjoy Blogs, Vlogs & Podcasts<\/h4>\n

Every Disney enthusiast loves a good Disney blog or vlog. That\u2019s what brought you here! I love to keep up on the latest news to keep me looking forward to another vacation. If you\u2019re feeling creative, why not try blogging or vlogging yourself? It’s a great outlet for all things Disney!<\/p>\n

Eating Disney Snacks<\/h4>\n

Pro tip! Bring home lots of Disney snacks from your vacation – then you can enjoy them at home!! They also make great souvenirs. Definitely one of my favourite things to do.<\/p>\n

Wearing Disney Parks Clothing<\/h4>\n

Stock up on your favorite Disney Parks outfits when you\u2019re on your vacation! I love sporting my stylish finds at home. I\u2019m comfortable, happy & sometimes it\u2019s a great conversation starter!<\/p>\n

Add a Touch of Disney to Your Home<\/h4>\n

Check out my blog<\/a> on how to add a touch of Disney to your home! I love adding little hints of the parks to my home, in a tasteful way. It really brings the magic to life!<\/p>\n

Unique Autograph Ideas<\/h4>\n

If you haven\u2019t already, check out just a few of my unique autograph ideas<\/a>! I\u2019m not one for an autograph book. I\u2019ve had characters sign things like canvas shoes<\/a>, cushion covers, frying pans, dinglehoppers,<\/a> poison apples<\/a> & much more. I turn them into fun, decorative pieces for my home, which really brings the Disney magic home!<\/p>\n

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

Plan Your Next Trip<\/h4>\n

And of course, my last tip – plan your next trip!!! Nothing cures the Disney blues more than planning your next trip. Disney World hotels & specials book up fairly quickly. Lock it in early, and you can always get a refund on your deposit if life changes happen.<\/p>\n

Those are the ways I keep the magic alive when I am not at Walt Disney World! It’s a hard road-but we’ll get there with these tips.<\/p>\n
