How I Stay Entertained on Long Flights: Disney Books, Shows, and Games
Hey there, Disney friends! ✈️๐ซ
As I get ready for my big move from Washington to Boston (just a few days away!), I’m all about making my travel time as magical and fun as possible. Long flights and airport waits can be a drag — but not when you pack the right Disney-inspired entertainment!
Here’s how I keep myself happily entertained and Disney-spirited from takeoff to touchdown:
✨ 1. Dive Into Disney Books: A Twisted Tale Series
If you love Disney stories with a twist, you have to check out the A Twisted Tale books. I’m downloading the first three books for my flight — they’re reimagining of classic Disney tales, with new twists that keep you hooked. Perfect for reading while you’re cozy in your airplane seat!
✨ 2. Stream Disney+ for the Win
I added the Disney+ app to my iPad, so I can binge-watch my favorite movies and shows during the flight and while waiting at the airport. From classics to new releases like The Mandalorian or WandaVision, there’s no shortage of Disney magic on demand.

✨ Game Time on the Go: Nintendo Switch
Gaming is my ultimate travel companion! I’m prepping my Nintendo Switch Lite with two of my absolute favorite games: Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Disney Dreamlight Valley. Both games bring that Disney joy and calm — perfect for zoning out and relaxing between travel steps.
✨ Bonus Travel Tip
If you’re like me, packing your tech and chargers is key! My Winnie the Pooh Loungefly Backpack holds all my essentials — external phone charger, earbuds, stylus, and more — so I’m always ready to plug in and power up.
Long flights don’t have to be boring! With the right mix of Disney books, shows, and games, you can make your travel moments just as magical as your park days.
