The magic between the trips....

[jonahsmommy]

We are going in November but what do you do to keep the magic in between trips?

I'll start:
1. Read dis boards daily
2. Have 2 coin jars that we add money to for our trip
3. Make a countdown chain when we are 3 months away

Add your ideas

We did a Disney themed dinner at 60 days out. We did Star Wars but there's lots of other ideas here one the boards and on Pinterest.

Definitely the DISboards!

My daughters and I send each other Disney pins on Pinterest all the time.

Normally we do a countdown chain as well but this time it's a surprise for my youngest so no chain this time!

Watch YouTube videos of rides, shows, etc

Waiting is so hard!!!

DH and I ask ourselves daily when we should go back and I constantly check prices to see if I can get a good deal and go lol we look at old pics and I follow Disneyland on fb and Instagram so I can pretend I'm there but really I only get disappointed I'm not lol

Constant trip planning!! I'm currently planning two Disney Cruises (Dec 2016 and May 2017), my next 2 DLR trips (November and F&W in 2017), and my first WDW trip in a long time (Oct 2017).

Being in San Francisco, I am lucky to be a member of the Walt Disney Family Museum so I can go there when I want a bit of magic.

Otherwise, visits to the Disboards and other Disney news sites daily, and incorporating Disney movies into our regular viewing schedule.

Concur on the movie idea. Having kids, we let them pick Disney movies for family movie nights and for any movie that has a ride/attraction in the parks we try to point out how the movies tie into the rides/attractions as far as specific scenes and images.

I'm nearly two months away from doing the Dumbo Double Dare. I watch Disney movies, listen to Disney music during my training runs, watch YouTube videos of the Disneyland 10k and Half Marathon, check this board and the Run Disney Facebook page. There's a good chance next week they reveal the medals, so that will make it a little more real, then I keep checking their website until they release the event guide with the course maps and find out which corral I'll be starting in. And pacing. Lots and lots of pacing...

I watch home videos of our Disneyland trips. This one never fails to get me stoked for the next trip!

My now Fiance ( I proposed in DL) just got back in march, and have now been planning a trip back with all of the family next year. in between the trips I have:
1- been looking at the DIS boards
2- reading every Disney theme park article I come across.
3- have been pricing the next trip constantly.
4- been trying to find everything a first timer should do since we will be going with 4 adults, and 3 kids who have never been before.
all of this keeps the excitement very "new". I can not wait to go back!

WE just got back from Disneyland two weeks ago. Going again on October 19-23rd. So excited! Three more months. We listen to Pandora Disney music. Kind of dorky, but my kids and I love it. My husband rolls his eyes.

These are all great ideas!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Waiting is so hard!!!!

Park music does it for me. I have downloaded a lot of it and listen in my car. It has become almost all I listen to.
