If only a bit of pixie dust could save us all from the coronavirus pandemic! It was announced earlier this month that Disney Parks would close its doors across the globe in hopes to flatten the curve and slow down the widely spread virus. This news has been such a bummer seeing as we were finally planning to take our youngest to Disney World in the fall to celebrate his 10th birthday and first visit. On our last episode of the Brown Side of Disney my co-hosts and I talked about the park closings and ultimately think a lot of folks underestimated the seriousness of all this news and then realized things were really about to hit the fan once the house of mouse shut things down.
Since we're all practicing social distancing and can't visit the parks, bring the magic of Disney straight to your home and pass the time away with over 20 Disney themed games. As a believer in finding the good in everyday moments big and small despite our circumstance, we hope amidst the challenges ahead you look at this moment in time as a way to unplug to connect with your kids.

Ravensburger Disney Villainous (Wonderforge)
If you're into strategy games then you'll love playing Disney Villainous for hours just like my two boys do with the family. It's so good to be bad and for all the fans of the misunderstood yet cool villains, this is the game for you! Choose from 6 iconic Disney Villains - each with their own sinister objectives & goals. Disney Villainous comes with Captain Hook, Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula (my favorite) Queen of Hearts, and Prince John. The Fate Decks allow you to mess with your opponents' objectives and also feature your favorite protagonists like Aladdin, Peter Pan, Ariel, and more! Ages 10+
Be prepared to have a good time with expansion packs featuring Scar, the Evil Queen and Cruella. Disney Villainous can be played as a standalone game or with the other games in the Villainous line: Evil Comes Prepared, Wicked To The Core, and Perfectly Wretched.
The Disney Meme game (Cardinal)
We could all use a few laughs these days and there's nothing like a hilarious meme to lift your spirits! Have you seen the few memes floating around on social media since it was announced that the park would close?
Personally, we all love this game because it's something quick that we can squeeze in between dismissal and bedtime during the week and lots of laughs with our friends and family over the weekend and during parties. It was a hit with kids of all ages at Tristan's 9th birthday party last year. Unlike the original meme game, this version is friendlier for kids and lets us pair our favorite Disney scene with the meme that fits the best. The other game players will judge who has the funniest matchups, and whoever has the most wins! You can also find it here at Box Lunch

In the Disney Song Challenge game, a card is flipped over from the deck, revealing a Disney movie or TV show.
The first player to jump up and sing a song from the movie or show wins the card! But, if the player messes up the song, the player must spin the Wheel of Fun-sequences and perform a silly action! Most of the Fun-sequences are Disney-themed impression of a Disney character. The first player to earn five cards wins! Ages 10+
