Anybody have ideas for the Disneynature Bears movie? I was all set to do A Bug's Life this weekend, but Netflix sent me Bears instead! I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not sure what to do (other than maybe a teddy grahams snack or something).
When we did Brother Bear we did a Pacific Northwest theme. For dinner we ate salmon fillets on a cedar plank with maple whiskey glaze. I also made a cheddar cheese soup from Le Cellier in Epcot. For dessert we had maple bacon cupcakes with a maple cream cheese icing and bacon crumbles on top. I'm not sure how adventurous your family is but my 6 and 9 yr old loved it. The cupcakes were surprisingly good.

No idea if this was posted already (sooo many awesome ideas!) but we like to do our own Wishes Dessert Party! We get a bunch of little cookies, cakes and sweet treats, turn down the lights, and play wishes on Youtube on the big TV w/ the surround sound going! My kids absolutely LOVE it, and it's a little romance for me and DH too!

We did a Brother Bear night a couple of years ago as well. My kids won't go near salmon though so our "fish" was fish sticks, lol. Our movie snacks were teddy Graham's, gummy Bears and goldfish. We made bear paw cupcakes. There are lots of bear crafts that you could do to go along with the movie, Pinterest is my best friend for movie ideas
These were the cupcakes we did

A few months ago I did a Snow White theme night, but never posted it here! I'm happy to share recipes if anyone needs them!
Menu for the night...
I found these really cute apple candles on Pinterest here.
Mine didn't turn out quite as nice as the ones on Pinterest, but overall not too bad!
My one regret was that everything did end up being beige or brown. If I had to go back and do it again, I would probably due red cabbage instead of the kraut.

I keep coming back to this thread because you guys are my kind of people! When we get 2 months out from our yearly Disney trip, I start Mickey Mondays, which is the same thing you guys are doing. My husband makes the food to fit our theme, and I decorate and plan activities. The kids love to wake up on Monday and try to guess the theme by looking at our dining room! I have a blog where I post all of my Mickey Mondays. I also do 40 daily countdown activities with my kids before we go, so there are lots of fun ideas. It is ALL DISNEY!
Our latest Mickey Monday was this past week, and it was a Spaceship Earth theme. Here is the link to the blog in general: https://aleasalbums.wordpress.com/

No pictures, but the Bears movie night went just fine. It takes place in Alaska, so I went from there. Nobody in my family will eat Salmon, so my husband had Alaskan Cod and the kids had fish sticks. We also had mixed berries and sourdough bread, which is apparently popular in Alaska. Gummy bears (and popcorn) for our movie time snack.
I found a really detailed guide on the Disneynature website. It had a lot of info about bears and a ton of games and activities. We homeschool, so I worked a few of those pages into our lessons yesterday afternoon.

First off, I love this board! I recently started doing the Family Movie Night with my family, and wanted to share a recent one! (This is my first ever post on a board, so please be kind!) By the way, the DMP on the photos is from my website where I am posting this stuff. I wanted to be sure that I also put some stuff here, because I have gotten so many ideas from this site, I wanted to give back.
For my daughter's 5th birthday, she could choose any movie for a Family Movie Night, and she chose to do The Pirate Fairy! Here are some photos of what we did:
Our menu consisted of:
These are the birthday tickets I made, and we did little signs for the food as well. I'll just put up the photos and stop talking.
All my daughter wanted for dinner was her favorite: Fish Sticks and French Fries.
She insisted in decorating all the cupcakes herself!
So that was our Movie Night for The Pirate Fairy. Please let me know what you think. I do a family movie night every other week, and would love to share more ideas if there is interest! Let me know.
Thanks.

This was the second Beauty and the Beast night we've done, the first one was our very first movie night 5 years ago
We went with a menu based off of "Be Our Guest". French onion soup and mini quiches as our appetizers, beef ragout, cheese soufflé as the main course and "gray stuff" for dessert
No movie snacks tonight, just boring popcorn, lol
As my kids get older, they tend to want to skip the crafts (except my DD who still loves them). They do however like board games so we've taken to playing one or two of the many Disney game that we have during our movie nights!

Thought I'd share a couple of our non Disney movie nights
Lego movie - we watched this last summer with a bunch of friends at our local theater that does $1 kids summer movies and then came home to have lunch and more Lego fun
The kids decorated their Legi guy plates
Lego pizzas for lunch!
The kids made their own Lego brownies
They all made Lego creations

Popping in to say that thanks to this thread, we are starting movie nights tomorrow! It seems a great way to count down our upcoming trip which is still a ways out, so hopefully this will keep the excitement simmering.
I printed a flyer and tickets to leave by the kids plates at breakfast tomorrow, so they can wonder about it all day. Ha!
I've considered doing things like this before but this thread full of ideas is what finally took all my excuses away.
