Disney Vacation Countdown

Share your Disney Vacation Countdown story

Let the Disney Vacation Countdown begin! Yahooooo! You’re all set. The major planning is over. You’ve done all the research and have made all of your travel and dining reservations for your best Disney vacation ever. But you know what - all that was just the EASY part.

Now comes the HARD part – waiting for the trip to arrive!

Waiting for a Disney vacation can sometimes seem like an eternity. Especially if you have children and they know about the upcoming trip, but have absolutely no concept of time!

How long until your trip?

Enter a date — Day, Month and Year — in numbers:
(January=01, ... December=12)
dd mm yyyy







Well, to help you and your family cope with this waiting period, I’ve put together some fun ways to endure the never-ending countdown to your departure. My own family has done many of these things in preparation for our own trips. Some of the ideas listed below are things that we have made up ourselves, while others are borrowed from friends and fellow Disney fanatics.

If you have a great idea and you’d like to share it, please click here to share your story or simply scroll down. You can also read other Disney vacation countdown ideas submitted by readers just like you!
