Disney Countdown Apps

Countdown for Disney (iOS)
Countdown for Disney one of the best Disney vacation countdown apps for iOS that I could find. 

This app comes with a free version and a paid full version. With the free version, you can choose between 15 pictures as your background or you may use one of your own pictures. 

You also have access to a seven-day weather forecaster including radar, as well as a 16-day historical weather forecast.

In addition, will receive Disney newsfeed from MainStreetWishes.com, keeping you up-to-date will all things Disney while you await your trip.

The full version of the app includes everything that you receive with the free version, but there are no annoying pop-up ads with the paid version. 

You will also receive tips for traveling to Disney, a countdown indicating the number of days until your Disney vacation and other important information such as when to start making your Disney dining reservations. 

Countdown to the Mouse (Google Play)
Another great app to try is Countdown to the Mouse, which can be found on Google Play.  This is a countdown for Disney World only. 

This app will not only provide a countdown to your Disney World vacation, but it also will provide you with hints regarding your Disney World trip, notifications and information on important dates and things taking place at Disney World. 

The app also can help you plan your Disney dining experiences and provide information regarding FastPasses.

Disney Cruise Line Navigator App (Both iOS + Google Play)
A very simple way to countdown to your upcoming Disney Cruise is to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App ahead of time.

First, you’re going to need to download it before your voyage anyways…so just do it early and use it as your Disney Cruise countdown app!

One of the cutest features is the built-in countdown timer.

Note: you have to have an active reservation in order to see the Disney countdown timer in the app.

Disney Vacation Countdown DIY Printable

On the site DisneyParks.Disney.Go.com, you will find a plethora of information, as well as a DIY printable vacation counter. 

There are printable numbers that you and your child can cut out.  It would be a good idea to laminate the numbers so they are not torn, as I am sure your child will want to move the numbers every day to indicate you are another day closer to your vacation departure.  I would suggest using two-sided tape and sticking the numbers to your fridge or somewhere easily accessible to your child. 

Download a PDF version of the printable countdown project. 

If you want to take it to the next level (perfect for older kids) follow the steps on this graphic. It requires paint, scissors and push pins.  One advantage to this project is that it will last for a long time, possibly until your next Disney vacation so you could use it again!

Disneyland Countdown Calendar

On Amazon, I found a Disneyland Calendar, which would be especially great for younger children. 

While younger kids may not have access to technology that older children have, they will certainly want a visual reminder to the upcoming excitement of their Disney vacation. 

This Disneyland Calendar would be perfect in their room, the kitchen, or in any room where the family spends time. Made from wood-like material and you could use it for future Disney family vacations. 

Walt Disney World Countdown

Another item you can purchase online from an artisan is this Days Until Disney sign.

Use a piece of white chalk to mark the days on Mickey’s head to indicate how many days are left until your Disney Vacation.  Each child could take turns writing down the number of days left until departure.

Disney Aulani Countdown

If you are planning a trip to Aulani, you may want to consider this idea for your Disney Aulani countdown from All For the Memories.

This is a great idea because you can easily wipe off the numbers each day and write in a new number; just make sure you don’t use a permanent marker when you write your numbers!

Disney Cruise Countdown

If you are planning on a vacation aboard one of the Disney cruise line ships, here you will find a printable Disney cruise countdown from The Suburban Mom.
