I've been giving it a lot of thought and have decided to try really hard to do some movie nights before this trip! 
I tried to pick some movies that we haven't seen or that we've seen, but haven't watched for quite some time. I might need some advice on things to have for dinner. i'm thinking i'll try to do one a month and then a couple in September if possible. we usually have the girls birthday party in September so planning that and movie nights might not happen, but we'll see.
next Friday, I think we'll go see the new muppet movie--muppets: most wanted! i'm so excited to see that! of course, I won't have to worry about dinner that night!
in april, I think we'll do mary poppins. I don't really like this movie (that's probably crazy talk for a nanny, huh?) but the girls have never seen it. my dinner plan so far--fish and chips, these cute little cheese umbrellas I saw on pinterest, spoonful of sugar cake pops, and drinks in tea cups (maybe some apple juice or something else that looks like tea).
for may, I was going to do wall-e. we have this movie and love it, but haven't watched it in a long time. dinner so far....square sandwiches, cheese cubes, green beans (like the green plant), and milky way candy bar for dessert. drink? not sure yet...
june--which I think is where our 101 days will fall--will be 101 dalmations, of course. i'm thinking we'll do hot dogs, corn, dog bone graham crackers, yogurt and spotted milk.
july is enchanted. we've never seen this movie, so i'm having a hard time thinking of movie related foods. I went with princess-y....croissants, turkey, green beans, drinks in our "fancy" glasses, strawberry soup like at the grand Floridian and the grey stuff cakes. seems good to me!
for august, I thought we'd watch muppet treasure island. we have this one, but haven't watched it since the girls had their pirate themed birthday party in 2012. we'll do breakfast for dinner that night--pirate pancakes, walk the plank bacon or sausage, arrrggghh eggs, blueberry cannonballs, and grog (which will be the juice from tusker house--I found a recipe on pinterest).
so that brings us to September.....the first weekend (the 5, 6, 7) is usually when we do the birthday party. but i'd really like to get in a movie night on the 13th and 20th. i'm thinking on the 13th we'll watch dumbo. i'm not really looking forward to this one because I know it will make me cry. but, the girls have never seen it and I feel like they should since we love the dumbo ride. of course, we'll have circus food---corn dogs, peanuts, carrot sticks and some colorful fruit salad. we'll have circus peanuts for dessert (I can't stand those--the bright orange ones--they make my teeth hurt just thinking about them, but DH and the girls love them) and a cotton candy drink (seltzer water or sprite and you put cotton candy in it and watch it dissolve).
then, to get us in the Halloween mood, since we're doing the party, I thought we'd watch hocus pocus. I haven't come up with food for this one yet (because I had to get off pinterest and actually get some stuff done....life, go figure!
) but we've never seen this movie and I think the girls will like it. I think it's called hocus pocus--the Halloween one with bette midler and sarah jessica parker?
if things are going well and I have a spare weekend, I was thinking about having a fairy night and watching the new tinkerbell movies, the pixie hollow games and the pirate fairy. we don't have those yet, but I was thinking about getting them from Disney movie club. and of course, we'll be getting frozen and could plan something around that too.
any thoughts? I wasn't going to worry too much about decorations, but I might print off some coloring sheets or something that the girls can do. usually when we have a movie night, we make a picnic in the living room and that's exciting enough. keep your fingers crossed that i actually do movie nights this time!

Hmm... drink for Wall-E, I've actually never seen it, but I am thinking some sort of "moon juice" or "motor oil" type of stuff since he's like a space robot thing right??
too bad we don't live closer together--i would so want to hang out!
) you should watch wall-e sometime. i didn't think it looked that great when it came out, but it was SO much better than i was giving it credit for. really, what was i thinking, it's Disney after all! and, it has a song in it from hello, dolly! which i love too--win win! 
i love all the ones you've done and all the things Jackie does--you guys inspired me to give it a shot!
I'm seriously beginning to think that this board is like a part time hobby/job, but what a fun one!
and my dad wanted it to be a tad cooler. So any info you get to pass along from your experience will be much appreciated!
I think you will have an enjoyable time and feel like you hit the favorites. Now it might be hard for me to go to Disney and skip soarin. But as long as I got to see the castle, soarin could wait for another trip. Lol
