Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[my2disneyboys]

Tonight we did Peter Pan- I thought I would post some pics! I am so grateful for this thread! We have made so many great memories from the help of all these awesome ideas!!

First we had dinner:
French Bread Pizza Boats (I made masts for them)

Then we went on a treasure hunt! Daddy set clues through out the house to lead us to the "treasure" (the cake)

For dessert we had the Treasure Chest cake that Nonnie made!

We played Follow the leader and watched the movie and had some pirate booty!

We had such a fun night!

Thank you for starting this thread and for all the great ideas!!! Yes, we have had SO much fun with these Disney Nights! We have done them now every Friday night since September when we booked our trip.

On the Menu:
Anemone and Cheese
Aquarium Jello
Octo-dogs
Nemo and Pearl Cupcakes

We played a fishing game and then Go Fish. My nieces stayed over, so it was fun to have the girls here for our family fun night! My niece and my sons were all born on the same day (9/27/02) so they were also celebrating their 1/2 birthday

I thought I would share a pic of our countdown calendar. It is an advent style and behind each door is a clue or picture. They have a treasure bucket with gold coins or a little clue that correspond with the door they just opened. My friend is a graphic designer and made them for us!

Fun Peter Pan Pics mom2disneyboys!!!!

I LOVED the treasure cake from your Peter Pan night! What a great idea.

I see you are staying at POFQ-we LOVED that resort! The kids were 4, 4, 4, and 18 months when we went, and it was great for everyone!

Love all the pictures!!! Jngwright - what is your movie next week??

My2disneyboys - are you doing a movie each week also?

Can't wait to see more pictures next week!!! We decided to watch the Kid's Choice Awards on Sat. night and also to draw for a new movie instead of doing Hunchback - so Sat. night will be Aladdin night. Princess Tiger Lilly, once again, thank you for the great ideas!

Yes- we do a Disney night every Friday! I have some pictures of them in my Pre-Trip Report (link below) - This week we are doing Song of the South or Beauty and the Beast.

We had Baklava- yummy! and caramal apples. This was a fun night.

great ideas!

Oh my goodness - you are doing Aladdin? It is always fun to see your pictures first! Here is a cute idea for dessert, it is Abu cupcakes and/or tiger striped cookies. I may try one of these, but also like the idea of doing Baklava.

Here is the problem I am running in to with the dessert...I thought of Baklava, but I am the only one who would eat it, and I have to wear shorts (not to mention a swimsuit) in 3 weeks at WDW

My birthday is on Saturday, so I think we are going to be caked out...the Tiger cookies may be the way to go, but those Abu cupcakes are so darn cute!!!

Thanks for the ideas

Tonight we are going to do Playhouse Disney Night. I know we are going to have "Hot Dogs" and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Tigger and Pooh and Handy Manny BUT I can't think of anything for dessert or activity.

Any Ideas?!

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

THEME: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

MENU: "Hotdogs"
Mickey's Clubhouse Sandwiches
http://tv.disney.go.com/playhouse/grown-ups/celebrationcenter/recipes/mmch/recipes3.html
OR Mickey shaped food from Target/Walmart i.e. hamburgers, ravioli, pasta, etc.
Minnie and Daisy's Fruit Pop Garden
http://tv.disney.go.com/playhouse/grown-ups/celebrationcenter/recipes/mmch/recipes7.html
Mice Ice Cream Cupcakes
http://tv.disney.go.com/playhouse/grown-ups/celebrationcenter/recipes/mmch/recipes6.html
*Recipes found on playhousedisney.com under the "Celebrations" area*

ACTIVITIES: SuperSleuth Scavenger Hunt Find some old cloths, pillowcases, tablecloths and tie on for capes, can cut out mask shapes to wear also. Hide clues around the house leading up to the prize: a hunnypot filled with treats. Sometimes we can find honey candy in our bulk section of the grocery store. They are hard candy with a gooey real honey center.
Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse Use any large type box you have lying around or check with anywhere that sells appliances for a free one. Cut out some windows and set out the crayons/markers/other craft supplies and let the kids decorate their own clubhouse. Throw a blanket on the floor of the clubhouse and you probably won't see them for a week. Also, from prior experience, be prepared to pry it out of their little hands on garbage day with tears streaming...
Handy Manny's Workshop Gather up your tools and tape on some extra large googly eyes to make Manny's tool friends (Pat the Hammer, Philipe and Turner the screwdrivers, Stretch the measuring tape, etc.). Collect some old wood blocks and scraps, nails, plastic bottle lids, junk, etc. With direct parent supervision and while wearing safety goggles mini Mannys can create their own wood creation.

Check out Playhouse Disney's website under the "Celebrations" area for lots of alternate game ideas.

Tonight for Disney Night, we had a Playhouse Disney Night!

Food: We made Mickey Pizza's, "Hot Dogs", French Fries

Dessert: We made Mickey Rice Crispy Treats- They were YUMO!

Activity: We had a little dance party to our favorite Disney Jams and made frames out of popsicle sticks and put pictures of us from our last trip to Disney in them and decorated with Mickey and Pooh stickers. (Good idea Daddy!)

Movie/Show: We watched a Little Einstein, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Tigger & Pooh and Handy Manny.

We ended the night, looking through our Disney book "Guide to the Magic" and checking out all the rides we will be going on.

Another great Disney Night. (only 4 more left before the big trip)

my2disneyboys, how fun! And what a set of cuties you have! Welcome to daisy2 and all the rest of you newbies out there! Please jump right in with your ideas and suggestions for new nights!
I am working on updating the index. I am now including the post #s so even if the page numbers are a bit off, it will still be pretty easy to find by looking up the post #.

Any ideas for Indiana Jones or Davy Crockett??? (no skinning animals for hats, please!) Someone requested Indy quite a while ago, and I believe it got kind of lost in the shuffle...
