Love Disney? Have an Alexa? Ask Her to do This!

“Alexa, play Disney music!”

You know that one right? But what else can she do? You got your first echo for Christmas, or on Prime Day and you’re still working out the kinks. Well I’ve got your back. Especially if you’re a Disney fan. Because today I’m diving into all of the skills you and your family will love to try with Alexa.

An echo dot for kids playing disney games

My mom gave us our first echo– A hand me down first generation that’s still kicking just fine. And we’ve collected 10 more since then. If you don’t have one just yet, or are shopping for a new one let me quickly recommend my three favorites. I love my Echo Show for a big screen in the kitchen, so I can see the artwork for music, read the trivia questions, and even sing along to words on the screen. On my nightstand I love my Echo dot with the display clock. My kids love their Echo Dot Kids Rainbow edition. If you have more questions about devices let me know, but I won’t go into that much in this post.

We use them for music in the bathrooms, as a clock in our bedroom, and we use the timers all the time in our kitchen. But they can do so much more. From trivia, stories, to fitness. There’s a lot to discover.

When it comes to Disney Alexa games, there are official ones made by Disney, and some unofficial ones and skills with Disney aspects that may not be officially connected. I haven’t seen a post out there compiling them all so I decided to write my own! I’ll be adding more as I discover and try new Disney Alexa skills but these are my favorites so far. The nice thing is all of them are free. And if you’re missing Disney magic right now, there are so many ways to bring the magic home, these should perk you right up!

Main Street Radio – “Alexa, play main street radio”: For a mix of Disney sounds, and instrumental Disney music, try this playlist. It’s mostly the scores from Disney movies. Not the songs you’d sing along to, which makes for some great background noise when you’re working or studying.
Radio Disney – “Alexa, ask Radio Disney to play Radio Disney”: Stream your favorite Disney music station from your Alexa device.
Disney Remix – “Alexa, open Disney remix”: A fun interactive skill that’s perfect for a family dance party.

My kids LOVE this game.
Star Wars Sound Journeys – “Alexa, Open Star Wars Sound Journeys”: This is like storytime and trivia together but on steroids. SO fun for Star Wars fans. I gave it a whirl just to test for this list and was surprised how many I got right.
