I’m ambivalent about Disney. The prices! What would Walt think about some of the movies? The lines! Our family has gone to Walt Disney World a few times. ( We took the Behind the Seeds tour at Epcot once. I was underwhelmed.) However, we know Disney freaks. You do you. While I don’t share your enthusiasm for all things Disney, I can appreciate your zeal.
1. Magic of Disney Science Experiments, the Magic of Animal Kingdom, or Learning at Epcot all have ideas to connect your curriculum to Disney.
2. Creative Projects Inspired by Disney
4. See if the local library has or can acquire the Disney Imagineering videos—all about Physical Science. eBay and Amazon sell used copies.
5. The Physics of Walt Disney Parks are workshops. The prices are breath taking! There are Technology workshops, too. (Wall Disney Imagineering has loads of ‘behind the scenes’ video, too!) Look at this trip to study Science and STEM at Disneyland Paris.
6. How to HomeSchool at Disney is fascinating. WSJ had an article about moms who home-school at Disney. Disney Schooling is interesting, too! Florida residents can buy annual passes or buy special tickets. California residents can get similar discounts or the Magic Key. (I knew residents could get discounted tickets. I had had no idea they could buy annual passes. My friend told me that she and her daughter went nearly every weekend when they lived in Florida. Frankly, I was dumbfounded at the idea of going to Disney World every weekend. My husband and I felt it was a lot of work to visit Disney.)
7. Walt Disney Family Museum has a STEAM Guide. The Educator Resources have a zoetrope and thaumatrope, which are optical illusions. (Yes, as a matter of fact, the Thaumatrope has the bird in the cage.)
