Once you're back home, how do you maintain the magic?

[dopeynme]

I listen to CDs of Wishes, Illuminations, and Spectro; recently bought an Off Kilter CD and Jim Brickman playing Disney songs; I wear my Mickey watch and sometimes my Mickey neckace and earrings; use my refillable mugs or character travel mugs for weekday coffee (I'm Wicked, What's your excuse?); Use my ceramic Dopey mug for weekend coffee; wear my character T-shirts after work or on weekends; keep my sketches of Belle in my bedroom; keep my shadow box with Dopey pins in the bedroom; read and post on these boards; peruse disney shopping online for bargains and fun stuff........And plan plan plan!!!!!!!!

Does it work well? I have thought about one but wondered.

julsmom, it works like a charm. You can get one that makes one waffle at a time, or a 4 waffler. It's wonderful!

great ideas!!

When I wake up, I wash with Avon African Shea Butter and Brown Sugar Scrub which smells just like caramel popcorn on Main Street or Sleepy Hollow!

I use my refillable mugs everyday. Sometimes w/ Twinings Four Fruits tea like in Rose and Crown or Disney coffee, too.

My car has an antenna topper and a WDW sunshield. Plus the Wishes and Fantasmic soundtracks.

At work, I have a Cinderella desk set and quotes incl. a Walt quote around my classroom. I have a Disney sweater I wear, plus sweatshirts and shorts and socks and stuff for at home.

I have pictures, snowglobes and tons of collectibles (some since I was 3 years old!) from WDW to remind me.

I have Disney nail art stickers I will occasionally use, plus some Mickey jewelry.


I have old albums to look at, I have planning videos/dvd's/fairytale wedding dvd to watch! I have video clips online of "Zip a dee doo da Tip For Today" as well as of some rides. I have a couple other ride songs on the computer too. Not to mention the DIS! I also have Walt Disney World Explorer (cd rom) that my 3 yo nephew is obsessed with. We play it together every time I babysit him. That's a big magical experience bc he always asks me if I'll hold his hand on that ride, or if we can stay in that hotel, etc.

I have Mickey cookie cutters and egg/pancake rings and a Cinderella toaster to make my food Disney. I will also occasionally make WDW theme nights. I'll get together a few recipes from my WDW cookbooks or from online and put in a Disney dvd or video that goes along with it. Like watch the Lion King and make a few Boma recipes, or Lilo and Stitch and make 'Ohana fried rice, shrimp and green beans! (the old kind)

I have a few Disney board games that I play w my bf or nephews and that's fun, too. Esp. w Disney music on! I probably listen to the old Main Street Electrical Parade music once a month.

I am slowly building a collection of Disney ornaments and Main Street pieces (ceramic Christmas village) for the holidays.

Basically, every day there are little bits of magic that I sneak into my day!
