Still cannot believe it was just over a month ago I was in the Happiest Place on Earth. Only for it to shut it’s doors a few days later…

I know there are tonnes of people who had trips planned this year or were in the middle of planning their dream holidays. And now in limbo as to when it might re-open (or international travel be possible again).

But Disney is trying their best to bring the magic to you at home! So I thought I would share some great ways to make magic happen at home 😉

Watch the New “Magic Happens” Parade

This parade only launched a few weeks prior to the shutdown, and it is truly the most magical thing you’ve ever seen.

This original song by Todrick is bound to get the whole family dancing. As well as all your favourite movies 😉

This is the music and sounds throughout the park! Over 6 hours of Disneyland joy in your living room!
