First I told you about how to draw Mickey Mouse and now you can learn how to make a frozen pineapple treat inspired by Adventureland! I would really recommend getting the My Disney Experience app because you can do fun activities on the app while you are at home.
First you will need to open up the My Disney Experience app. Scroll down on the home page until you see Now You’re Cooking with Disney Parks Frozen Pineapple Treat. Then click learn more.
Here is the recipe:
Only 3 steps! Isn’t that crazy!?! I am totally looking forward to trying this treat!
I have a fun activity you can do while you are stuck at home!
You can fill out a bracket for your favorite rides at Disney World for each park. You fill out which is your favorite rides and in the end you have a winner!
I filled one out and this is what mine looks like. This is my OPINION! (Please note that I have not been on The Boneyard, Animation Experience, Maharajah Jungle Trek, Gorilla Falls Trail, Expedition Everest, Conservation Station, Rise of the Resistance, Tower of Terror, Smugglers Run, Rock N’ Roller Coaster, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Train, Mickey Shorts Theater, Canada Far and Wide, and Disney/Pixar Film Festival.)
The world champion for my bracket was Space Mountain!
I know it has been a long time since I have done my must do activities at Disney World but this one is so much fun I just had to tell you about it!
Pin Trading is super fun and a great way for you to be interactive at Disney World. First you get a Pin Trading lanyard and buy some pins. You can also buy a lanyard that already comes with pins.
This was my pin trading lanyard.
Here is a tip: buy some pins you don’t like. This will help you with your trade! Now, find a cast member with a lanyard and trade a pin with them. It’s that easy! You can also buy birthday pins or special edition pins as well. UniversalwithIzzy: Universal Studios has also started selling pins.
Now here is the problem about pin trading: the pins always fall of the lanyard because they are not very secure with the backings. I have lost many pins because they just fall off while your wearing them. Finally I have found a solution! It is called PinFolio!
The outside of the PinFolio bag!
PinFolio is a tiny bag that you can put your pins in by pushing them in. The bag zips up too so your pins won’t fall off!
You simply push the pins in!
If you are thinking about doing pin trading or have a lanyard filled with pins then PinFolio is a must get!
The second page for pins!
I bought it on Amazon. Here is a link to the PinFolio bag: PinFolio.
The pin backs go in this pocket.
I hope you consider doing pin trading because it is so much fun and they have so many cool pins you can choose from!
Some people take a plane to get to Disney World but lots of people go by car. Here is a list of fun activities for your ride to Disney World or anywhere!
Do you have Netflix on your iPad or iPhone? Well now you can download shows and movies on Netflix in the car without using wifi. The thing is though you can only download certain shows. Here is how it works:
First when you click the Netflix app it asks you who’s watching. Click on yours or whoever you watch Netflix from. Now you are on the home page. On the bottom click downloads. Now you are on a page that says My Downloads. Click the word Find Downloads. You are now on the page with everything you can download. Click next to a movie or show to download it.
We found this book on Amazon.
Another fun game to do is find license plates. This is a really fun game! All you have to do is find license plates from different states. I found 39 out of 50 states when I did this game on my way to the beach a few weeks ago. I even found a Hawaii license plate!
I STILL can’t believe I found a Hawaii license plate!
You can also play the alphabet game. First you pick a theme. For example: food. Now if you are starting you would say “a is for” and in this case apple. Then another person would say “b is for” and so on.
The Guess That Music game is fun too! First you turn on the radio and hide the name of the song and singer with whatever you want! As long as you can’t see the name of the song and singer!
I hope these activities are helpful in breaking the boredom of the ride to Disney World or anywhere.
The badge they gave me at the end of Jedi Training!
Another one of my must do activities at Disney World is Jedi Training. Jedi Training is a Star Wars themed show in Hollywood Studios that you can take part in. They train you how to us a lightsaber and in the end you get to fight a Sith and you get badge. ( For more information on Jedi Training click here!) Jedi Training is only for kids between 4-12 and you have to sign up for it before you do it. I recommend getting there early.
Sure Disney World has great rides but did you know they have many activities?
One of my favorite activities is looking for hidden Mickey’s. Hidden Mickey’s are basically Mickey’s head and ears that are hidden on rides, shops, and even your Disney resort! They are everywhere! Hidden Mickeys are super fun to find and add a little extra magic to your trip.
Here are just some of the Hidden Mickey’s that I have found at Disney World.
Spotted on Living with the Land!
More from Living with the Land!
As you can see, there are a lot of Hidden Mickey’s on Living with the Land!
You have probably seen the beautiful Venetian Masks in the Italy pavilion or you might have possibly bought one. Now you can paint your own unique mask!
You can choose either a resin mask or a papiermache mask. Your parents can join in on the fun too!
The Italy Pavilion has lots of great snacks!
The masks take 15-20 minutes to dry when you have finished painting. Snack break!!! How about some delicious gelato? If you don’t want to wait for your mask to dry you can always have them delivered to the front of the park or delivered to your Disney resort. This activity sounds awesome!
Jedi Training is a Star Wars show at Hollywood Studios that you can be a part of and you even get to wear a Jedi robe! Only kids between the ages of four and twelve are allowed to participate and attempt to complete the Trials of the Temple.
My little brother fought Darth Vader when he was 4!
To complete the Trials of the Temple, you will be trained as a Jedi and then must fight a Sith with a lightsaber. The Jedi Masters instruct you how to use your lightsaber and teach you how to fight the Sith. It’s really fun!
Get out of my head!
On my last two Disney World trips I had to go against Kylo Ren and last year I had to fight Darth Vader. Kylo Ren was trying to use the force on me to read my mind! It was scary! Once everyone is done dueling you take off your Jedi robes and get a badge. Most recently they gave me a water bottle afterwards, which helps in the summer time. This is a super fun and exciting activity!
Okay, let’s be honest! Not all the rides at Disney World take ten seconds to get on. Fastpasses can help shorten the wait times, but sometimes you don’t have a Fastpass for a ride. New rides or rides that are just very popular can take over an hour and it can become boring having to wait. Trust me, I had to wait over an hour to get on Space Mountain on my last trip.
The App works in Disney World and Disneyland
I am going to tell you the faster way to let the time fly by. Downloading the Play Disney Parks App! This app is free and is full of games. Most of the games on this app only work in the parks or resorts so use your time wisely! When I used the Play Disney Parks App on my iPhone (it is also available on Android devices) it helped keep me occupied. You can also try quizzes or quiz a family member. The Play Disney Parks App for Space Mountain has secret codes and ship races! I also used this app while I was waiting to get on Alien Swirling Saucers. It was super fun playing with my brother! We took pictures and put on silly glasses and wigs on the pictures. So if you want the time to pass while you are waiting in line GET THIS APP!
