My Yard Goes Disney

When Grandma lives next door and her backyard is also tragic, it's time to knock down the fence and build a Magic Kingdom train running from yard to yard. This amazing track runs more than 200 feet, looping around the trees and creating an incredible journey from one 'My Yard Goes Disney' destination to another. The hand-powered train connects the backyards. Each yard also features play areas to please the kids. There's a giant over-sized teacup that's been transformed into a playhouse and is the perfect spot for tea parties and also a gigantic Sorcerer's hat that doubles as a play area in the other. And all around there are custom-made metal flowers with family pictures of wonderful Disney memories.

A family with six kids, ages two to six, needs a place to let off steam. And their parents would love to see the Walt Disney World experience come to life in their backyard. That's why the 'My Yard Goes Disney' team creates a safari trip right outside their back door. Modeled after Disney's Animal Kingdom, the space features a massive custom-made bamboo play set, a play fountain with water-spouting elephants and a Jeep converted into a play area for climbing and other adventures. And for night time fun, there's a campfire area that the whole family can enjoy.

The Farrell Family is all Disney all the time on land and at sea. What they want more than anything is to bring the experience of a Disney Dream cruise ship into their backyard. The entire family says the memory of spending a week at sea doing everything Disney was "the most amazing week of our lives." The family has a small yard, creating a huge challenge to make this family's dreams come true. The "My Yard Goes Disney" team takes on the challenge with gusto digging a pool shaped like Mickey Mouse, and of course, it has a slide. There's also a stage for a daughter who loves to perform. And a special zipline for her energetic brother. This backyard transformation also features an amazing Disney-inspired fountain with lots of special family touches.
