It’s another HGTV Makeover. When a family’s passion for Disney covers everything from fairies to fish, HGTV is on top of the total house transformation. Inspired by the “soon to open” Disney Art of Animation Resort, the team created a “Finding Nemo” themed room with a full size Crush Bed a fairy Cinderella bedroom and a “Cars’ Themed bedroom including a Lighting McQueen Bed and hidden race track.

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.

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.
