6 Episode Disney show on HGTV
Sounds like a very fun show.
On HGTV Monday June 6th at 7pm Central.
Called "My Yard Goes Disney"
There is a new TV series coming to HGTV on June 6th called “My Yard Goes Disney.” Six episodes have been filmed and they will run one per week. The series is hosted by R. BranDon Johnson.
Disney Parks teamed with HGTV for the series, which surprises one family each week with an over the top backyard makeover inspired by Disney and promoting the use of one’s imagination.
Kathleen Finch, GM of HGTV, revealed about the series:
"Disney and HGTV are teaming up to transform backyards into the ultimate family hang-out spot. This series features spectacular fantasy makeovers that only the Disney team could imagine and HGTV could pull off."
In just the first episode the family gets a 200-foot long Disney Magic Kingdom-inspired train installed in their yard as well as an oversized teapot and an 8-foot tall sorcerer’s hat. What would you want in your yard that was inspired by the Disney Parks? We would love a bunch of hidden Mickey’s!

Here is what a few episodes are:
Backyard Train Station
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.
Backyard Safari Adventure for a Family of Six Disney-loving Kids
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.
A Mickey-shaped Pool for a Disney-loving Family
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.

We were going to apply for a makeover; a few months back, they were looking for homeowners in the Orlando area to apply, but when we read the fine print, we found we were not eligible since my DW is a WDW CM.
But, we'll at least watch the series.

Wow! Is it still possible to apply for a makeover or are they only doing these few episodes?

I missed the first episode, the Backyard Train, but caught last night's Backyard Safari Adventure. What a cool backyard makeover! Fun show to watch.

I watched it and thought it was pretty neat. Does anyone who saw when it was available to apply were they only looking for orlando area residents?
Last night i saw the safari themed one. All i kept thinking was how dangerous that watering hole area was. There was a huge pile of rocks dead center of the water play area....I believe they were there to hide the drain....but as a mommy I couldnt help but think how dangerous that was.
On the other hand I sooooooo want a Disney yard!
