Our family is preparing for our second trip to Disney World. The countdown has started. Everyone is excited.

We can't wait to return to one of our favorite places to make more special memories as a family.

But there's no reason that special Disney memories can't be made before we go, especially as we prepare our four special needs children for eight days in the the theme parks.

We have designated a day each week for Disney World preparations before we leave.

After all there's so much to get ready for! Our first Disney inspired day was dedicated to the movie The Lion King and the new popular cartoon series The Lion Guard.

Today I share with you our Lion King and Lion Guard Inspired Resources for Families with Free Printables.
