Preserving Your Disney Memories

When it comes to vacations at Walt Disney World, you know you’re going to come home with a ton of photos and keepsakes. Do you ever struggle with how to preserve those memories? I know I have! Keeping your vacation memories on display not only is a fun reminder of time spent with your family, but it keeps a bit of the Disney magic alive at home! Today, I have a few options for keeping all of your fun Disney memories in ways you can display around your home!

1. Scrapbooks

This one is a no brainer for some of us! I am an avid fan of Project Life, so it was only natural for me to scrapbook my vacation memories! I know when you’re on vacation, you’re usually not thinking about what you’re going to do when you get home, but I made a mental note to keep everything that I acquired in the parks! I kept park maps, receipts, our Key to the World cards, and any of the paper FastPasses that we didn’t use (although the days of paper FastPasses are long gone, they did make really great keepsakes!). These made great inserts in my scrapbook album and they are so fun to flip through!

2. Instagram Prints

I LOVE using Instagram on my Disney trips! Instagram is a fun, quick way to snap photos and share with your friends. But what about when you get home from your trip? What do you do with all those photos you took that are now just stuck somewhere in cyber space? Instagram photo prints, of course! Many photo printing places will now give you the option of linking to your Instagram account and allowing you to print your photos in the Instagram 4×4 format! It’s easy, convenient, and so fun! I printed mine off to hang on my refrigerator and I put them in frames around my house! I can’t think of a better way to get those photos off of your phone and in your home!

3. Photo books

There are a TON of places to have photo books made around the web these days! These little books are great for your nightstands, your child’s bookshelf, or your coffee table! When researching for a website to make my own photo book, I looked for websites that allowed me to use photos from my camera, my photos downloaded from Memory Maker, as well as photos from my Instagram account, in order to use all of my Disney photos! These are fun to make because you can choose to add to text to your photos, allowing you to tell a story with your photo book!
