Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[Alysa]

Alysa -- the Enchanted Rose is a 2 liter bottle with the bottom cut off and a silk rose suspended by fishing line which is tied around the top of the bottle (under the cap). My husband claimed this as his project since it involved fishing line....LOL! I just go with whatever gets him most involved in our movie days and if playing with fishing line and flowers makes him happy, I'm all for it

That is brilliant! Did you come up with that on your own? So clever, I love it!
My husband is a fly fisherman as well. 10 more weeks until the season opens! Actually, it's funny you mention it, I just got him this print for our guest bedroom.

Catching up again! These would be shorter if I would post every time I have a movie night.

Alice in Wonderland
Tea Sandwiches
Cheshire Smiles (melon)
Sugar Cookies
Berry Tarts
Mushrooms (marshmallows, chocolate, vanilla wafer)
Unbirthday cake

For this one we didn't have a lot of time, and frankly this is not one of my favorite movies, so we didn't have any activities. But the girls colored pictures that I printed from disneyfamily.com


Peter Pan
Pirate Ship Pizza
Pirate's gold (corn)
Cannonballs (Whoppers)
Fruit Swords
Mermaid Lagoon (applesauce)
Pirate Punch


We did this one right before Easter. I decorated the table and the girls colored and cut out swords. We sprinkled 'pixy dust' (glitter) on everyone (outside). The girls blew 'fairy bubbles' outside as well. 'Tinkerbell' snuck in while we were outside and hid fairy themed eggs with candy and left a little poem that gave the girls instructions on finding eggs and their 'final surprise' which was a Disney World 2013 t-shirt.


Jungle Book
Mowgli's Mango Chicken
Bagherra's Brown Rice
Monkey Bread
Baloo's Fruit Kabobs
King Louie Banana Pudding

Coloring sheets were the best I could do for a craft and a little dance party like Baloo and Mowgli do for activities. We are swamped in this house right now! But we decorated with green tablecloths, even hanging them from the ceiling like a canopy and attaching strips of zebra crepe paper for a 'jungle feel'.


Tangled
Angel hair pasta
Breadstick braids
Paschal's Salad
Max’s Apples
Sunboats (oranges with paper sails)
Root beer

The girls dressed in their Tangled pajamas and we had plenty of Rapunzel dolls and accessories to decorate with. Purple tablecloth with a yellow runner and sunburst banner across the dining room doors. I printed the Tangled activity kit from disneyfamily.com. After the movie we braided everyone's hair, including the dolls!

Last, but not least, tonight's movie theme was: Little Mermaid!

Ariel's Sea Shells
Sebastian’s Crab Sandwiches
Scuttle's Salad
Clam Shells
Sand Dollar Cookies
Ocean Water

Oceaned themed decorations and colors and the guest of honor, Ariel presided over the dinner table. A round of Go Fish, a crab walk race, some color sheets, and Ariel's crown (printable) rounded out the evening before we all snuggled down to watch the movie!

Well Im caught up on photobucket since it takes forever to resize each photo
Anyway We did Brave on the 6th.


The Wisp were hung from the diningroom table to the livingroom in front of the tv.


Next the little ones decorated their coats of armor


My activity was cute. I made a family tapersty from some fabric that can be put in the printer, some scraps of black fabric I had around the house, some gold ribbon & my hot glue gun.

Up next it Toy Story Weekend!!!!

 

[Deffenm]

Can I come to your house for movie nights? I love the wisps! I wish I was that creative. Great Job! I can't wait to see what you do for Toy Story.

 

[dsnycrzy]

OK so Tuesday evening I saw that Disney Jr. was doing a Toy Story weekend starting Friday at 8pm, then Saturday TS2 at 8pm and TS3 on Sunday at 8pm.
I originally had broken these 3 movies up instead of putting them all on 1 slip of paper and doing one party. Oh well it was an all weekend affair.
(Sorry this is so big, I re sized it in photobucket and it is still posting large I dont care for photobucket)

Here we go: Toy Story Friday Night



Saw this cute idea online during research.


Since it was a school night & not too much to do after a long week, we settled on Disney Pixar Uno

Now the fun really begins, up next Toy Story 2

 

[dsnycrzy]

After doing all the cooking and prepping for Toy Story night. I decided to continue baking doing a recipe I found on youtube. I thought it would be good for Lilo & stitch since stitich is always performing "The King"

This is the youtube video on how to make them.

My finished product...



Differences and mistakes:

1st mistake: My older kids dont eat pork so I put the pork bacon on aluminum foil (like the video) and but the turkey bacon in the pan with out aluminum foil...The turkey bacon was "candied" to the pan and had to be soaked out

2nd mistake: dont know if I would call it a mistake but the cake mix I bought was more like a brownie mix and therefore a tougher texture then just a moist chocolate cake. I had a few yellow cupcakes unfrosted from the night before that I did and like the flavor & texture as well.

3rd difference: I added only 1lb of the 2lbs of sugar called for in the frosting. I thought the peanut butter carried enough flavor and plus my DD10 is wearing my size 10 jeans and I tried to cut back a little because we both love our bacon.

Thought someone would like this for Lilo & stitch night and they were sssooo good

Ok back to our scheduled performances

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Dznycrzy~ Your movie nights are phenomenal!!! And those King cupcakes??? Where is a drooly face emoticon when we need it! It is obvious from the many movie nights that you post that you love to cook...I do too! Thank you for continuing to share your great movie nights with us!

 

[dsnycrzy]

Ok Saturday and Toy Story 2 Is on the brain.


My little ones made potatoe heads which I hung from the Andy Sign. Somehow I dont believe my 18 month old did his. I asked DD10 and she says "Well I helped him because I dont want Mrs. Potato head to have a crazy looking husband", silly girl, anyway.

These were suppose to be cowboy hats and boots and rockets The dough I bought you had to just roll out and use so once I rolled it up to roll it out to use different cookie cutters, it would instantly strink. It was pizza dough, pizza sauce, cheese and anothe pizza dough on top.


To be continued!

 

[dsnycrzy]

Ok Now its game time! I made a giant potatoe and pieces to either make a Mrs. or a Mr. Potato head.


My masterpiece, dont know how she will eat with her nose on her mouth


DD10 did Mr. Potato Head


DD19 did the Mrs.


Alrighty Baby Kash wanted a turn and thats kind of how his paper potato head should have looked (Being a preschool teacher and all, I know what they can do )

That was fun!!! One more Toy Story night to go!!!!

 

[dsnycrzy]

Last Toy Story night and I am about to fall over with being tired



My DD10 helped with the sign

My son tries to play too cool so I had to pretend I was taking a picture of the sign to catch him


Game time up next...

 

[dsnycrzy]

Games, Photo props and playtime...
The game was fun. we stood on one side of the livingroom and while saying "Theres a snake in my boot" we had to toss the rubber snake and try to get it into the boot. I taped a boot I made to a little trash can.



Last was our quick photo props since it was getting late!


Ok DD10 off to bed and DD1 still has some playtime in his little body.
He's getting sleepy.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

 

[Mommaof3]

Thanks for posting your pictures. You are so creative and I love, love "watching" your kiddos. I have stolen a few a your ideas! I am not surprised that you teach.

And a thanks to everyone else for the pictures. I love the ideas. We started our Disney nights last night. We are all adults now so we do no games, just dinner and a movie.

We did: Brave
Food: Mince and Tatties
Corn on the cob
Potato Rolls
Strawberry cake with bear prints and "wisps"

It was fun. I had not seen the movie but my daughter and son in law had. I asked what the corn on the cob was related to and they could not think of anything. After the movie, I could not think of anything either!

So glad we are counting down our trip this way! Next for us is Jungle Book!

 

[dsnycrzy]

Monday was the premire of the new Henry Hugglemonster which my DS1 is obsessed with. He even mimics the commercials. Since I just did 3 nights of Toy Story, I thought I'd do this night simple. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN SIMPLE TO ME Anyway heres our Monday...



Next but, our activities!!

 

[dsnycrzy]

Activities:

On the episode where Summer & Henry are trying to put the baby Ivor to sleep, they began to jump on the bed. So DS decided he should jump on the couch.

The hugglemonster family did a bread dough episode that I saw online so we made playdoh!!!! the kids loved it.



Next up Aristocat!!!

 

[dsnycrzy]

oopsiDAISY- Thanks and I do like to cook now.

50 days out!​

Mary Poppins Night!​

Tomato and Basil Cream Soup
Biscuits
Light as a Feather Tea Sandwiches
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chimney Sweep Chocolate Cake
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Shortbread
Raspberry Cordial​

This was one that I was kind of worried about when I started this adventure but it turned out really cute and I think is one of my favorite ones so far!

While I did all the cooking, the girls did some chalk drawings on the sidewalk outside (like Burt's drawings in the movie). It happened to be windy so the girls flew their mini-kites that they received from the Easter Bunny. I bought a new birdfeeder and we filled it up and spread seeds for the birds. Inside, the girls decorated paper kites to hang up in the dining room. We also measured them like Mary Poppins measures Jane and Michael in the movie. Dual purpose: now we can know which rides the girls can ride once we get to Disney World! I had set the table with a lace tablecloth and my good china to give it a bit of a 'proper' feel. Now we are watching the movie...and I wish I could snap my fingers like they do to clean up the kitchen!
