#DisneyMagicMoments: Make Father’s Day Unforgettable with DIY Disney Magic

As we move into Father’s Day, we’re sharing more #DisneyMagicMoments with a virtual treasure trove of Disney surprises to help create a day to remember for the special dad or father figure in your life!

Each Father’s Day, many of us celebrate the heartwarming memories that bond us with dad.  Today, we’re honoring the tradition of creating unforgettable experiences with a one-of-a-kind “Father’s Day to Remember Memory Capsule” and other bonding activities to bring everyone a little closer to dad.  

#DisneyMagicMoments: Make Father’s Day Unforgettable with DIY Disney Magic

To start our “Father’s Day to Remember Memory Capsule,” partner up with dad and print out a copy of the capsule’s cover to fill with favorite Disney memories.  Click here for activity pack instructions

Next, build the memories booklet that highlights your favorite Disney experiences.  Download the memory sheets here to add inside the capsule before moving on to the decoration sheet.

Creatively color the images of iconic Disney Parks experiences from the decoration sheet to add style to your memories booklet as well as to the outside cover of the capsule.  

Now, fill out the date and decide when you will open the “Father’s Day to Remember Memory Capsule” together.  And that’s it – you’ve created Disney magic!  

This weekend, we’re also offering Father’s Day Disney coupons that can be an extra treat from the entire family.  The coupons can be redeemed for a funny joke, extra sleep one morning and more. 

You can download the Father’s Day coupons now on our ShopDisney.com page. 

And the Father’s Day celebration continues Sunday night on ABC when John Legend hosts a tribute to dads everywhere during a one-hour special – “John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father’s Day.”  The televised special will feature musical performances to remember, touching moments and surprises, including virtual appearances from celebrity dads.

“John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father’s Day” airs tomorrow, June 21, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

From our Disney family to yours, Happy Father’s Day!  We hope it will be a magical day to remember.  And be sure to check for more Father’s Day stories using the hashtag #DisneyMagicMoments.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 large rectangular Graham crackers
  • 12 oz of chocolate bar or chocolate candy coating melted
  • 6 peanut butter candy melts

  • 1 piping bag fitted with #44 tip for the white icing
  • Toothpicks

INSTRUCTIONS TO CREATE UP INSPIRED S’MORES:

Step 1: Make the covers of the Adventure Book using a serrated knife and cut 2 inches off the length of each graham cracker. The remaining cracker should be 2×3 inches

Step 2: Dip each cracker in melted chocolate. You can thin the chocolate with oil if you need
