    Do you have a Disney Vacation countdown tool?

    Welcome to planDisney, Diane! 

    Oh, the excitement of a Disney countdown. It’s like the first sprinkle of pixie dust before you even step foot in the parks!

    Diane, I have good news! If you have a Disney Resort stay linked in your My Disney Experience app, the app has a built-in countdown that shows exactly how many days until your magical adventure. I love checking mine every morning before I go on my trips. It’s like a little burst of happiness and magical anticipation every day!

    Even if you aren’t staying at a resort, you can still create your own magical countdown. A paper chain, calendar, or one of the fun unofficial apps works wonders. My favorite? Adding little notes of excitement for each day. Throwing in options like “choose your first ride” or “pick your favorite snack.” Every single day brings you closer to Mickey pretzels, fireworks, and unforgettable memories. YAY! 

    I hope this helps you start your countdown with a little extra pixie dust. Happy planning, and may the magic get sweeter with each passing day!

    See ya real soon,

    Emille
