15 Best Disney Countdowns for your Vacation!

Disney

A Disney countdown builds anticipation and excitement for the whole family! Make a DIY Countdown Calendar for your family’s next vacation.

Yes, both Disney World and Disneyland are closed right now but that doesn’t mean you can’t complete Mickey-themed crafts. In fact, crafting is a great way to experience Disney magic when you can’t be at the parks! So, grab the kids and choose your favorite Disney countdown to make at home.

What is a Disney Countdown Calendar?

What is a vacation countdown? Like an Advent calendar or Christmas countdown, a vacation countdown provides an interactive way to count down the days to a special event.

Vacation countdowns can be themed to the beach, mountains, National Parks, big cities, or amusement parks… wherever your travel might take you! As a family of Disney fans, we have a DIY Disney countdown calendar that we’ve used leading up to our last 2 trips.
