Taking a trip to Disney World is a childhood dream for many kids. Before you take your family on their first Walt Disney World vacation, you’ll want to do a little homework! Don’t worry: it’s all fun and will just enhance your Disney trip. Here’s a list of movies to watch before going to Disney World in 2024. The Disney Plus streaming service makes this super easy! ps- if you are heading to Disneyland, you’ll want to go by this list of movies before Disneyland, including the list of Marvel movies to watch before visiting Avengers Campus.
My kids are being raised as Disney kids- which means we watch all the movies, enjoy the Disney Channel, and can’t wait for our next Disney trip.
We love the Disney+ streaming service– all Disney all the time? We’re so in.
And yes, we are *those* people that you hear about.
Movies to Watch Before Going to Disney World in 2024
But I realize this crazy Disney-loving world isn’t the same for all families. You might need a little help deciphering between a Peter Pan and a Gaston.
It would be totally normal to think your kids might not “get” what the whole Disney World experience is all about!
Especially if they don’t see a lot of movies or read a lot of Disney books just yet.
Don’t fear, parents: I’ve got you covered!
This is the list of movies to watch before going to Disney World. It’s a long one encompassing most attractions you’ll encounter, but don’t feel you need to watch them all.
Choose what is most age-appropriate and of interest to your family. I’ve included Amazon affiliate links with this post, but be sure to check your On Demand options via cable, Netflix, or Hulu as well.
