A couple pictures from our DFMN
Aladdin was the Feature that evening.
We enjoyed some middle eastern foods.
Pita triangles, hummus, cucumber/yogurt sauce.
Our Baklava for Dessert.
I forgot to take a picture of the Shish Kebab.
We also enjoyed watching 101 Dalmations. For that evening we had Shepherd's Pie which is a British dish. For dessert we had "Puppy Chow"
which is
9 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter in large pan and melt over low heat. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in chex cereal. Coat cereal with chocolate mixture.
Pour powdered sugar over mixture and stir to coat cereal. Or pour sugar and cereal mixture into extra large (2 gallon) ziploc bag and shake.
The cereal resembles puppy chow.
I didn't think of this until too late but Target has some cute little dog bowls in their $1 section. You could serve the puppy chow in those bowls for fun!
This week we are watching the original version of "Parent Trap" and eating camp food. Hot Dogs, Corn on the cob and smores!

We do Fort Wilderness Night. We look on Disboards to see what movie will be showing at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground. We do the same thing at home that they do at the resort. We light a fire in the fireplace to make smores and when it gets dark, we begin the same movie that Fort Wilderness is showing...then we feel like we're doing exactly the same thing that everyone at Disney's Fort Wilderness is doing at the same time they're doing it too.
It's not the same as being there, but it makes us feel a little closer for a little while.

Any ideas for "Tower of Terror"? DD loves the ride, but I am too chicken. Picked up the movie at the thrift store the other day and came across this thread and I want to get in on the fun.

Well, it does take place in Las Vegas. Why not a buffet? Lots of quantity and lots of variety! Sounds like dinner to me!

We have all those popcorn buckets and resort mugs from the parks and for Disney movie nights we take them out and have a special treat in them.

We just had our first movie night (I'll try to post pictures soon, I promise). We watched The Incredibles and we had "Superhero" sub sandwiches, chips & Incredible dip and "Frozone" sundaes. I must admit, I made some really cute menus, too. I decorated the table with the colors of The Incredibles... a red tablecloth, yellow plates & cups and black napkins. I also had a couple Incredible foil balloons tied to the chairs.
It was lots of fun and we already have our next movie night planned...Monsters Inc. Oh yea...I made a list of a few movie quotes and the first person to recognize/hear it during the movie won....except I forgot to get a prize!
Thanks for a super thread. I really hope it keeps going!

We had our fifth pre-Disney night and it was a "Mulan" themed party.
Thanks to NHdisneylover for the great Mulan suggestions!
Mickey http://www.freekidscrafts.com/asian_hat-e458.html
We ate take-out Chinese food from two of our favorite places. We also experimented with eating with chopsticks. I think only half of us stuck with them through the entire meal.
I made paper lanterns to hang across the table. http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/chinese_lantern_chain.htm
I got 2 black take-out containers from Michael's and just put some red tissue paper to decorate the table.
I made an egg-carton dragon as the centerpiece. It was really simple and didn't take long at all. http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/egg_box_chinese_dragon.htm
We ate the fortune cookies for dessert, but we also made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Once they cooled, I put folded up Disney fortunes I had written on strips of paper underneath them. For example, one said "A Disney Adventure of a lifetime awaits you," another said something like "Pooh and friends are sure to show you a great time when you dine with them at the Crystal Palace."
It was a fun night! My mom declared it her favorite so far.

These are fabulous ideas! How do you do them? Once a week? or just a milestones?
We have 69 days left from today and I'd like to start doing some of these--thanks for posting such great ideas!

Kirsten- Thanks! Yeah, the take-out containers were a cool addition. I would buy them and do the switcheroo you mentioned.
Veronica- We've been doing it once a month leading up to our trip in April. I wish we could do more, but everyone has different schedules and it's hard to set a date and time that's good for everyone. I would say the more you could fit in before your trip the better. They are so much fun!
FYI: Sunday night, Oct. 4th 7pm/6c is the Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure movie. I think it's only going to be 45 mins long, but if you have a kid who is a Handy Manny fan I think that could make a cool night.

We did a casual Toy Story Night to "celebrate" the 3D Double Feature. We had Pizza for dinner (pizza planet theme) and after the movie, we played with "toy story" toys. It was very last minute, so I didn't have alot to work with, but here it is:

Wow! I love the Mulan table ! Beautiful. I need to be a little more elaborate for our last 4 nights.
We enjoyed a Mary Poppins tea Party last week. We have four more movie nights before our trip.
We enjoyed tea sandwiches, crackers with goat cheese and sun dried tomato, cucumber slices and baby carrots with ranch dip, roasted asparagus, grapes, petit fours and chocolate dipped strawberries, and of course tea!
A couple photos of our food
This week we are going to watch Ratatouille.
We are going to eat
Baguette, French Onion Soup, ratatouille, and creme puffs.
Anyone have any good ideas for decorations or activities?

Besides the stuff in post #48, you could
- decorate your own aprons
- make a chef's hat - instructions at:
http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=10587
- a mouse hunt for 'cheese': cut up inexpensive yellow sponges into triangles and hide them around the house for the children to find (similiar to how the mice in the movie hunted for trash but MUCH less dirty! Ha!)
- accent the table with white table cloth, wooden spoons, plastic mice (mice s/b easy to find this month.)
- post #128 has a fantastic eiffel tower decorated on a wall with painter's tape!
