Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[MamaJessie]

I asked daughter to pick the next movie night and she decided to ask her dad to chose the next night and he decided on Sleeping Beauty?!?!?! (He thinks its the shortest Disney movie so he won't have to sit thru it for that long).
I will have to search the boards for ideas for this one.

dd - 11 was having fun making ideas up after reading these ideas and came up with this for Sleeping beauty. Cover a graham cracker (the full rectangle) with strawberry cream cheese and add a marshmalow pillow at the top. That's as far as we got.

I also thought of doing Cool Running in honor of the Winter Olympics, just never got around to it. We could play the mario and sonic at the winder olympics lol
I don't know how to make Jamaican food though

I just made these sleepover cupcakes for DD's pajama day at school. They came out soo cute!! They were time consuming to make, but very easy! You make and frost the cupcake, then cut a regular size marshmallow in half and place one vertically for the body and the other horizontally at the top of the other marshmallow for the pillow. You take a Nilla wafer (I shaved the edges of these to make them just a little smaller - I wasn't able to find the mini Nilla wafers at my market) and "glue" it with frosting to the pillow. Add a face on the cookie. I used fondant, but the book said to microwave 2 Starburst candies for 3 seconds and then roll them flat to make the blanket. Lay it over the vertical marshmallow and you will have the body. Add a Teddy Graham. Too cute!!!
You can see a pic of them here - The first pic looks like Sleeping Beauty!http://blog.hellocupcakebook.com/2008/04/16/getting-personal-with-slumber-party-cupcakes.aspx

I love this thread too. We are gearing up to do our first movie night this Saturday. Our trip is still 9 months away so we decided we should just make a family tradition of Saturday Disney movie night to get in as many Disney movies as we can before December. We are starting with Pinnochio. Thanks for all the great ideas! I can't wait!

Any Ponyo ideas? Netflix is sending it out for Friday

Well, we decided to put a hold on Sleeping beauty so I could think of more things. So we are going back to our original idea of Nemo, which will be Sunday.

I plan on making that nemo mac and cheese that a PP made.
fiance and I will have fish
DD will have the hot dog octopus and a cheese sandwich (I found fish cookie cutters @ Dollar Tree
I was thinking of making asparagus "seaweed" lol
And a blue hawaiian punch drink. I am also going to take swedish fish and put them in ice trays, fill the trays with the hawaiian punch drink and put them in our drinks, it should look like fish are floating in water.

I am having a hard time with dessert, any suggestions?

Our activity will be Disney Memory (or Dory's Disney Memory).

I am so excited

We did Nemo cupcakes (there is a pic earlier in the thread-pg 26) Or you could do pudding cups with crushed graham crackers crumbs on top (sand) with swedish fish tucked in...

Have fun!

your cupcakes are adorable, how did you do it? I don't think I'd be able to, I'm not that crafty with cup cakes.

Kids are watching Nemo...we did the octo-dogs, blue jello with swedish fish, chips/dip, and I'm working on cupcakes. I am basically doing what I found on pg 26, and the kids think it's fun! This is a great thread! Can't wait to try some more ideas!

We did the Lion King last night, but kept it very simple. We ate chicken and rice (meat and grain) and made monkey bread for dessert (Yum!). I just happened to have jungle animal crafts left over from Oriental Trading, so DD made a paper plate elephant and DS made a lion. After dinner we played jungle BINGO (another game leftover from a birthday party), then we watched the movie and ate our monkey bread. Low-Key and fun!

Funny...we watched Totoro last weekend and Spirited Away last night. They weren't themed movie nights because my DH wasn't home, but we loved the movies. Anyway, I haven't seen Ponyo yet, but I know it's all about the sea and a goldfish. Maybe you could do Panko breaded fish since it's a Japanese film or some other seafood dish with an Asian spin?

 

[annegirl]

We did Pinnochio last night. It was so much fun. You can check it out on our pre trip report.

I am guessing it is too late now, sorry! I used my cake decorating tips, basically a large and smaller round tip and piped the fish and octopus on top.
