Ways to Keep the Kids Entertained During Lockdown - The Disney Edit

With Schools and nurseries being closed and a lockdown in place until further notice parents are faced with a great challenge in keeping their kids entertained to prevent them reaching new peaks of boredom! With a lot of parents still working from home, balancing keeping the children educated, fit and entertained alongside their own work commitments may pose a few challenges!

Thankfully, we can always count on Disney to give the kids a few hours of entertainment and fun! Disney characters have forever been a family favourite and what better time to catch up with the Disney gang than now? We have put together several Disney activities that should hopefully help you through the lockdown and social distancing period…

So if you haven’t already heard, Disney + are offering a free seven day trial! Here you can watch every single movie on the platform from iconic classics such as The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast, The Jungle Book through to hit movies from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars as well as new originals. With all this entertainment in one place you can be sure to find a movie to watch for every night of lockdown!

Virtual Disney Rides on YouTube

If you can’t go to Disney World, why not bring Disney World to you, in the comfort of your own home! This awesome YouTube channel, ‘Virtual Disney World’ allows you to virtually experience all of your favourite attractions within a 360-degree video environment. This unique experience will most definitely light up the kids faces with them being able to relive the attractions and places they love at anytime!
