Bringing the Disney Magic Home

Some people are not lucky enough to live within close distance to Disney World or Disneyland and need to find other ways to bring Disney Magic into their everyday lives however far away they are from “home.” Since the senses account for everything we experience and Disney parks are a sensory overload, I’d like to share some my ideas for keeping the magic close!

First, is scent. The sense of smell accounts for the strongest part of memory and many Disney Addicts I talk to miss the smells of Disney most! I’ve found a way to bring you back to Adventureland enjoying a Dole whip, eating Mickey Waffles or relaxing at the Yacht & Beach Club. The way, you ask? Candles! I create 100% soy candles with over 30 “Mouse Inspired” scents sold through my etsy shop and WalterandRosie.com.

And great news! There are a few other ways to bring Disney scents home. One thing Disney Addicts know about is the scent in Norway that comes from the perfume Laila. It’s sold online and of course at the Norway pavilion in World Showcase.

The last of favorite ways to re-imagine I’m at Disney is H20plus! This is a wonderful, cruelty free, Chicago based company that produces all the shampoos and soaps for Disney Parks! Ask mousekeeping for a couple extra during your next stay or purchase some bigger bottles online. Don’t forget to check out Chip’s collection!

The next sense is sight. My favorite for this category, and in general, is Disney movies! Everyone has a favorite (or maybe 2 or 3…)! I fill a lot of my nights watching Disney movies or youtubing my favorite Olaf quotes. Watching Disney movies is one of the best ways to cure a heartache (this is medically proven). A great way to benefit from being a Disney fan is to join the Disney Movie Club. You agree to buy 5 regularly priced Disney movies over the course of 2 years and get great perks like buy 1 get the rest for 50% off and the entire Disney Movie Rewards site! At the DMR site, you enter the magic code listed on the inside cover of most Disney movies, receive points and cash them in for goodies! Plus you can enter lots of awesome sweepstakes.

The next awesome Disney sense is sound. This one is pretty easy! Listening Disney tunes around the house or whenever you’re on the road is definitely a pick me up! I’m constantly listening to the Frozen soundtrack in my car and know all the words! There are plenty of other soundtracks out there for whichever music you love most. Beyond soundtracks, there’s park music and compilations that feature different Disney movie songs in one place!

This one is delicious, using taste! Honestly, one of my favorite parts of Disney (besides parades) is the food! Easy ways to do this are to make all your food Mickey shaped! If you’re up for spending a little bit, there are plenty of snack items available at the parks and resorts that you can bring home with you like cookies, chocolate, pretzels, candy, etc. Luckily, there are people nice enough to be your own personal shopper and send the items right to your door! I am very excited to move to Orlando in a month and half and I would love to shop for my fellow DA’s 🙂

Last but not least is touch. Most people relate Disney to kids and kids at heart. I willingly admit I still sleep with some stuffed characters and I am always snuggling up with a Disney blanket! For some reason, I find comfort in holding something so magical close to my heart as I dream of Wishes. Right now plush characters are buy 1 get 1 for a $1 and disneystore.com! A few weeks ago when I was in the parks, they were running a deal for a $15 fleece blanket and it’s so nice to have in this Elsa ridden winter!

I hoped you enjoyed my tips for bringing Disney home with you! Please leave a comment letting us know your favorite ways to bring the Disney magic into your home.
