Making Your Road Trip to Disney Magical- Growing up, one of my favorite things about family vacations was the road trip to our destination. We would load up our van with all our suitcases, snacks and games and head to places like Oklahoma, Michigan or Florida. Disney World was the most exciting trip because we could hardly wait to get there! I’ve got ten great tips on road trips to Disney.
7 Tips to Make Your Road Trip to Disney Magical
- Let the kids choose their snacks. Have them decorate a paper bag before heading on the road trip or filling a bento box with their favorite snacks. You could also re-name your food with Disney names such as Peter Pan PB&J, Minnie Muffins or Jiminy Crickets on a Log (raisins on a celery with peanut butter).
- Bring along Disney games. Print out some Disney trivia and jokes for the ride. Try some Disney themed games like this UNO Disney Game
or World of Disney Eye Found It Card Game. - Create character prize bags (Tinkerbell, Mickey or your child’s favorite character). Pack prize bags for good behavior on the way. The dollar store has lots of Disney items that are very inexpensive; add a few to a prize bag for a fun surprise.
- Find Hidden Mickeys. Before you leave, hide a few Mickey shapes in the car (and your food) and have kids search for them along the way. You could even add one of these Mickey Mouse ears car decal on your car!
- Night Time Extravaganza. Purchase some new Disney character pajamas and pull them out for a surprise if you are going to be traveling at night. Add some glow necklaces and bracelets from the dollar store and then you can pretend you are part of the Happily Ever After Fireworks Show.
- Picture This. Grab a couple disposable cameras or an Instax camera for your kids to capture Disney through their eyes. Start by having them take some photos of your road trip!
- Listen Up. Everyone needs a little down time during a road trip. Get a few Disney podcasts or audio books that each family member can listen to on their own or as a family. Some of my favorites are WDW Radio and WDW Prep To Go Podcast. You can also find tons of free Disney audio books through your local library.
