3. Cook your own Disney meals

Delicious Disney

 

Taste is another important sensation that can transport us back to another time and place. And it's likely that you vividly remember some of the tastiest meals that you've eaten at the many restaurants at Disney parks and resorts.

There are a host of Disney cookbooks that will help you recreate your favorite dishes. A host of these can be found at Mickey's Pantry at Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney, but many can also be found online. Pam Brandon's Delicious Disney, for example, will help you cook the Adobo Pulled Pork from the Magic Kingdom's Crystal Palace or the Kona Cafe's Tonga Toast.

2. Remember the little details

As we pointed out in a recent article, Disney puts an extraordinary amount of effort into theming even the most mundane elements of a theme park. And there's no reason why you can't take that approach, too. Take Disney's trash cans for example. The company goes out of its way to ensure that these not only fit into the theme of an area, but even add to it. The trash can above, located on Hollywood Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios, is emblazoned with the image of Grauman's Chinese Theater and implores visitors to the "city" to dispose of their trash properly.

You can sprinkle Disney trash cans around your home, too. The company has turned them into a line of merchandise, with trash can-themed salt and pepper shakers going on sale at Walt Disney World's Marketplace Co Op in 2014.

1. Install a monorail

Walt Disney World's monorail system has been operating since 1971, yet somehow it still feels sleek and futuristic. Maybe it's the fact that monorails haven't caught on elsewhere as yet, or maybe it's just the unique design of the trains. Disneyland's monorail, of course, is even older, having debuted in 1959 as the first daily operating monorail system in the western hemisphere. It still carries thousands of guests every single day.

When you see a monorail, you sense that you must be near a Disney theme park. So why not install one at home? The Disney Store will happily sell you a miniaturized version, complete with 14 feet of track.

I love to listen to the Main Street USA theme songs Spotify.

I have several monorails and also one of the original Spaceship Earth that is part of the track and a Contemporary. I set them up around the Christmas tree too. I love them.

I always dance to the music from Disney World Including Golden Dreams From American Adventure! I love those music!

As we are landscaping the yard I have added a few hidden Mickey's. Used a lot of hard scape and sculpted the bushes into animals (still a work in progress).
