30 Day Countdown Fun before your Disney Vacation




Where do all good ideas come from now a days? Pinterest, of course! I was very excited when I saw this countdown on Pinterest from www.latteandlegos.com . Usually I see things like this after my vacation when I’m having a Disney Depression day. If you’ve ever been to Disney then you understand that there is such a sickness as Disney Depression. It’s taken me exactly a Month to get started editing our pictures, sharing them on social media and with family/friends, write about it or anything. I can’t believe our vacation was already a Month ago. Well if you’re reading this you’re probably planning your own vacation or it’s getting close! I’m excited for you just thinking about a Disney Vacation and all the magic that comes with it.  Here is a little something to help you get the magic started before your Vacation.

{Perfect for you parents to start planning how you see the characters that are most important. Expect Lines, the lines are inevitable so you need to make sure you see the ones that are most important to your family}
