Talking Points for Kids about American History at Disney Parks

When your family visits Disney, you have an opportunity to share conversations about the past and the future. Here are some fun ways to learn about the future while visiting Disney.

Whether you are a homeschool family or you send your child to public school, you can combine your Disney vacation with learning. Whether you are visiting Magic Kingdom or Epcot, decide which attractions want to make learning experiences for your family. 

Considering exploring:

💡 Liberty Square

💡 Frontierland

💡 World Showcase

💡 Carousel of Progress

💡 Hall of Presidents

💡 Imagineering

💡 Mission: Space

Yes, I know...you want your family to have fun, but remember - you can have fun while learning!

Learning about American History at Disney Parks (Disney Land and Disney World) can happen at Magic Kingdom (which has almost everything). You can make history come alive with kids at Disney. You can include conversations about the following:

☀️ The Liberty Tree Tavern in Liberty Square (Magic Kingdom)(amazing relics and talking points for children)

Talking Point - What things do you see that make it look old-fashioned (like the maps, documents, etc)?

☀️ The Liberty Bell Replica in Liberty Square (Magic Kingdom)

Talking Point - Ask them where the actual liberty bell is located? What was the purpose of the bell?

☀️ The Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square (Magic Kingdom)

Talking Point - What does a President do?

Talking Point - Do you recognize anyone?

☀️ Tom Sawyer Island at FrontierLand (Magic Kingdom)

Talking Point - Ask your children to watch a YouTube video or read about book about the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Ask them what they want to explore on the island first?

Talking Point - Does anything on the island remind them of the video or the book?

☀️ Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress in Tomorrow Land at Magic Kingdom

Talking Point - Would you rather live now or back then?

What are some additional talking points you would add?

Did You Forget Something in the Hotel Room? Here's a Simple Checklist to Complete BEFORE Leaving the Room!

We are ALWAYS frantic when leaving a hotel room. I always like to check and double-check everywhere (including ALL of the nooks and crannies) to check if we left something in a hotel room.

Here's why - We were having an amazing time in Orlando and we had EVERYTHING packed in our backpacks. We boarded the shuttle and finally arrived at the airport. Then, we discovered..we LEFT the iPad! We had the driver travel BACK to the airport and then we grabbed our iPad from the front desk (they cleaned the room) and we headed BACK to the airport.

If you know anything about the Orlando Airport, you know that it is ALWAYS busy. Super busy! This was our last experience EVER running through an airport. Did I mention that I was pregnant at the time? ;)

So, we made this checklist and we are finally publishing it on the blog. When you are leaving a hotel room, you have to check everywhere for your belongings! Here's a quick checklist focused on leaving a hotel.

Here's the checklist in PDF format: http://tinyurl.com/WeekendsCountHotelChecklist

Do you have anything that you would like to add to the checklist?

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!
