If your family is as disney crazy as mine is, then I know you’ll just love the disney themed activities suggested below. Don’t worry if you’re on a budget either, as some of the activities suggested are lower cost and can be done from the comfort of your very own home.
- Disney Movie Nights
With so many wonderful disney movies to choose from including live action and animated versions of The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and Snow White, a disney movie night is a great first choice. To make it even more special add delicious popcorn and snacks, and snuggle up under blankets on the sofa.
Alternatively why not head to the cinema for a family movie day out? Disney movies are very popular so it’s often a good idea to book in advance, and to look out for special offers on tickets and drinks and snacks for families and children which can help you to save money.
- Disney Parks
One of the most ultimate experiences for disney loving families has to be visiting one of the five parks they have located around the world. Far more expensive than most of the other options suggested here, a Disney park visit can make memories that last a lifetime, and is something that many families plan and save for.
The first thing you will need to consider is which park you will visit. You can choose between Disneyland Resort (California, USA), Walt Disney World Resort (Florida, USA), Disneyland Paris (France), Tokyo Disney Resort (Japan), Hong Kong Disneyland (Hong Kong) and Shanghai Disney Resort (China).
Things to consider here include which park is closest to you, and is cheapest to travel to. It’s also a good idea to think about whether you will want to explore the surrounding area during your trip. If so then you may wish to choose a place you’ve not seen before like Shanghai. Although if you are planning to spend all your time in the park, then it doesn’t matter so much and cost should be your biggest consideration.
- Disney Cruises
Another option for the Disney-loving family is a theme cruise. Run by Disney themselves, you will get all the same magic as you do in the parks including character meet and greets, as well as entertainment for all, and dedicated kids clubs. All combined with the luxuries and benefits of a cruise such as excursions, known as port adventures on Disney cruises.
Now you are probably wondering how much does a Disney cruise cost per person, and the truth is it varies depending on a range of factors such as the cruise you choose and the time of year you travel. However, as a rule the cruises do tend to be a little more expensive compared to a package holiday to the parks. Although it’s important to remember that for the price you will be getting a much more relaxed holiday, with fewer crowds and with plenty of opportunities for adults to have time on their own, as well as a variety of high-quality food.
- Disney Parties
If a Disney trip is a little out of your price range right now, how about throwing a Disney-themed party? This can be a very fun activity for all, especially if it’s celebrating someone’s birthday or a big life milestone.
To throw a Disney party, you will first need to think about the theme. Popular ideas include a single fandom like Toy Story, or Aladdin, or how about combining fandoms and throwing a Disney princess party?
Once you have your theme sorted, you can seek out decorations that match. Remember to order tablecloths, balloons, napkins and straws in colours that correspond to your chosen theme, as this will make it look more cohesive.
After your decor is decided, you will need to consider food. Baking Disney theme food is the best idea here, including cookies and cupcakes featuring your favourite characters. Don’t panic if your cake decorating skills are lacking, as you can get printed edible decorations or even cake picks to use instead.

- Disney Colouring
Last of all, if you are looking for bargain Disney theme activities for the family, what about colouring pages? You’ll find lots of Disney-themed pages online that you can print out and then decorate however you choose.
For those who are a bit more advanced in their artistic skills, you may want to try the Disney drawing classes you’ll find below, instead. These are official classes from the parks that show you how to draw your favourite characters just like they do in the movies!
