First, a lot of you probably have a stash of Disney soaps and shampoo. Here\u2019s your chance to use it. The smell alone will take you back. And if you don\u2019t have a stash, you can purchase products on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopdisney.com\/brands\/h2o-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shopdisney.com<\/a>. The H20+ products have just a bit of a following. If you want to be extra, you can even do some towel art, there\u2019s plenty of tutorials on Pinterest.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat Like it\u2019s Free Dining<\/h2>\n<p>Snacking like a Disney fan in three words: Mickey. Shaped. Everything.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Mickey bars and various Disney-packaged treats at grocery stores, not to mention <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/walt-disney-world\/wdw-dining\/disney-recipes\/\">recipes<\/a>. And online, you can find the Mickey waffle maker \u2014 a must for any Disney fan. There\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopdisney.com\/mickey-mouse-90th-anniversary-double-flip-waffle-maker-655772017307.html?isProductSearch=1&amp;plpPosition=undefined&amp;searchType=autosuggest-popular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the fancy one<\/a> on the Shop Disney site, or a less expensive version at Target, which is what I have. It does the trick! You can also dig into your stash of popcorn buckets and jugs from the parks (the ones you just HAD to have) to add some flare to your everyday nosh.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-77847 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mickey-waffles.jpg\" alt=\"mickey waffles \" width=\"600\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mickey-waffles.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mickey-waffles-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mickey-waffles-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Let the Games Begin<\/h2>\n<p>There are plenty of Disney-themed board games and puzzles to occupy your time, but if you don\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3eGKYdn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toy Story Mania<\/a>, you may need to change that. The game has all of the same levels from Midway Mania as well as original levels based on the film\u2019s characters. It\u2019s darn near close to the attraction without the long wait time. You can download it and play it on desktop or look for used hard copies for Wii, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Screen Time<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/disney-merchandise\/disney\/\">Disney+ has been a saving grace<\/a> for most of us during quarantine. But if you really want to feel like you\u2019re at the parks, you must watch the Must Do Disney with host Stacey Aswad. You can find the most current resort TV loops on YouTube. Leave it on in the backyard while you get ready\u2026just like you would at Walt Disney World! <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Country-Bears-Jug.jpg\" alt=\"Country Bears Jug\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Country-Bears-Jug.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Country-Bears-Jug-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Country-Bears-Jug-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Country-Bears-Jug-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Plan Your Next Trip<\/h2>\n<p>No matter how far in the future, knowing you\u2019ll be back to Disney is the only antidote for the blues. Whether that\u2019s listening to trip planning podcasts and making your own Must Do lists or putting that down payment on your trip. In the meantime, stay well and find Disney magic however you can.<\/p>\n<p><em>What fun ways have you been showcasing the Disney Magic at home?<\/em> <em>Share your thoughts in the comments,<\/em>\u00a0<em>or\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheMouseForLess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/themouseforless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Did you like this article?
