For many parents, bedtime has always been an uphill battle.
Trying to get your kids away from their toys and screens and actually bathed, in their PJs, and actually in bed in one thing, but then you've got to contend with hearing: "I want another drink" or "Can I have one more bedtime story?" for the next two-to-nine hours.
And in these uncertain times, this battle has become even more of a struggle.
Beyoncé recently surprised fans when she sang Disney's 'When You Wish Upon A Star':Thankfully, Disney is here to help. Simply call up Disney's Bedtime Hotline and your children can hear a sweet goodnight message from one of the iconic Disney gang: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, or Daisy Duck.
(I mean, I'm 28 and I'm definitely going to be doing this to help me nod off.)
Just let your kids know that once they're in their pajamas and their teeth are brush, you'll call Mickey and friends as soon as their head hits the pillow. It could act as a calming and welcome reward for a routine both sides have difficulty with.
Sharing the announcement on their official Instagram page, Disney wrote: "Make bedtime magical, with a little help from @shopDisney. Starting today through April 30, you and your family can call 1-877-7-MICKEY to hear a special sleepy time message from Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy. #DisneyMagicMoments"
And to make matters even more magical, the Disney Bedtime Hotline is completely free - and the number is 1-877-7-MICKEY.
The only catch is that Mickey and friends are only available for callers in the United States and for an extremely limited time. The hotline is currently live and will end on April 30, 2020 - and just like Cinderella's time at the ball, it will end at midnight (Pacific Time).
In addition, parents can also download these free bedtime activity charts, to help establish more of a fun routine at bedtime:
Of course, if you'd like to inject more Disney into your bedtime routines, shopDisney is also offering their Bedtime Adventure Box, a subscription box that comes with Disney Store pajamas, a bedtime storybook, stickers, a reward chart, and bedtime activity cards.
There is also deluxe version available that comes with two or three extra items, such as a pillow, blanket, towel, bath product, or toy.
Now, the subscription boxes are not free like the hotline - they cost $28 per box for the regular version and $55 per box for the deluxe version - but they certainly are a way to make bedtime more magical.
