A Disney Staycation

[topher]

Most don't have the joy of living within driving distance of WDW. However,we have the desire to visit the parks on an almost daily basis.

So my question to you is:
How do you take a Disney staycation?
You have an entire day to recreate a day at Disney.
What places do you visit, stores do you shop at, things do you eat, music do you listen to, movies do you watch, etc. to make you feel like you had the best Disney experience you can recreate.

We'll pick one thing about WDW and use that for theming for a night. For instance, we had a Poly night where we cooked Hawaiian inspired food, made pina colavas, decorated with some beautiful tropical flowers and listened to Hawaiian music. Afterwards we'll watch the vacation planning video or our vacation vids. In a small way it helps "transport us" somewhere else, just like WDW does!

On Minecraft there is a server that is an amazing replica of WDW. You can get on rides, talk with CM's, meet characters, watch fireworks, and "live shows." It's a really well done replica and is very accurate. Sometime, I begin playing the soundtrack if I'm in a certain section of a park or on a ride. Dorky,I know, I am a nerd.

Before, I use to watch video tours of the parks and if they walk past a ride I want to "ride," I'd open a new tab and search for recording of that attraction. I'd also also bake some Mickey Mouse Cake Pops, play some Disney Songs on my cello, lay on my bed and watch Stacy go all around Disney. I may also look up some Behind the Magic or Unwrapped Disney. Pretty simple, but it does satisfy my Disney needs!

The server has been up and down lately, I've noted. But, yes, their work is amazing! Watching Fantasmic put on was a lot of fun.
