We're going to Disney World!! Pretty much the most exciting thing you can hear as a child, or an adult. You save and plan and plan and plan some more. Now your trip is right around the corner and you want to watch some movies to get you in the Disney spirit! I have come up with my families list of must watch before a big Disney World trip! We think Disneyland has a different set of movies as different castle means different princess... you get the idea. So lets start with my top Disney movies to watch before you go to Walt Disney World.
1. The Classic Cinderella
I absolutely love the new live action version. But the classic 1950 original, produced by Walt Disney himself, is the one to get you excited for your trip. It is what the castle in Disney World was modeled after. The characters you meet in the parks are dressed as if they stepped out of this classic movie. If you're eating at Cinderella's Royal table within the castle this will get your family excited to meet the Disney royalty. If your little is being made into a princess in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, it is located on the ground level of the castle. And you may just hear those most magical words "bibbidi bobbidi boo" all around the Magic Kingdom. Not to mention the start of every Disney movie shows this castle, it is a must watch!
2. Lion King
This is a must watch if you're planning on visiting the Animal Kingdom Park. They have an amazing Lion King show here, with an acrobatic performance that will make your jaw drop. The Safari ride has a lot of animals that are referenced from the movie, and if you're lucky you may see Simba. Not to mention the cool Lion King merchandise and music you will hear around the parks. This is a family must every time we head to the Animal Kingdom!
3. Pinocchio
Is a 1940 Disney legendary movie. This is not a movie a lot of the younger generation has seen. Maybe it is old fashioned? Or some think it is scary? But it is a true Disney classic, and a work of art. Pinocchio is only the second animated feature film to be released by Disney after Snow White. With the start of wishing on stars and everyone's favorite conscience Jiminy Cricket this movie still has staying power. You will hear the music from Pinocchio in the parks and hear Jiminy Cricket asking you to make a wish. If you only watch this once, do it before your next visit!
4. Toy Story
The moment this movie came out in 1995 is was an instant classic. Now with three amazing Toy Story Movies you can watch all three or pick any from this set. I love the first one, and the third gets me every time! Andy giving away his toys, I just can't. Especially as it came at a time when my daughter was out growing many of her favorite toys. I love the circle of life for the toys. Now with Toy Story Land open where you will be able to step into Andy's backyard, and eat at Woody's lunch box. This Movie is sure to get you excited to visit Hollywood Studios!
5. Finding Nemo
Is a family favorite. My daughter would watch this on repeat when she was three years old. It not only brings back fond memories but gets me so excited to visit Epcot. In Epcot you can check out the Seas with Nemo and Friends. It is an adorable ride through the movie, and when you come out you're in a pretty cool aquarium. You can take pictures with Bruce, and rest assured fish (and people) are friends. After exploring the aquarium you can step into Turtle Talk with Crush. The imaginers have out done them selves here this is a very cool experience, and a great spot to cool off on a hot day.
If you're heading to Disney for any of the holiday season here are my choices for must watch:
Hocus Pocus. This 1993 Halloween movie is perfect to get you excited for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Where you will see the Sanderson sisters perform with some of your favorite Disney villains.
The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween - Christmas movie. We think this is legit to watch anytime between the two seasons. We love the combination of the two holidays. If you plan to attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party or the Very Merry Christmas Party, you can meet Jack and Sally. In fact they are super popular characters to meet! Seeing this movie will get you excited for the meet and greets.
If you plan on visiting Disney World at Christmas time then Prep & Landing it the must watch movie. In Disney's Hollywood Studios they do a very cool projection show with a Prep & Landing Christmas theme. Watching Wayne and Lannie get into Christmas spirit is sure to get you into the Christmas Disney Spirit!
