A Disney World trip is an exciting event for a family. We do a countdown with my kids and watch videos online of the parks to help build the excitement. Another way to help build excitement for kids is to do some fun Disney themed activities. Many of these kids activities to prepare for a Disney World trip are related to rides in the park.

What a great collection of ideas to prepare for Disneyworld or Disneyland. I imagine it would really increase the anticipation and excitement about the trip to start these activities a couple of weeks before the trip! Many could also be done afterwards while they are excited about the memories.
