Has anyone done a Lion King night or have any ideas other than what was originally posted? I would like a few more suggestions for food, games, crafts, etc. Thanks for the help!

Lion King is one of our favourites. We make Wilde Beast stew and Pride Rock potatoes. For the herbivores like the gazelles we made salad.

Here is a Tinkerbell movie night I did for my kids back in September. This wasn't for a Disney countdown, I just have always done movie nights every so often for my kids. I thought these photos may be useful to someone thinking of doing a Tinkerbell night.

Some of the names of the treats were: Fairy Wands (pretzel rods dipped in almond bark with sprinkles), Tinkerbell Treats (Tinkerbell Fruit Snacks), Sparkle Rings (colored sugared gummy rings), Pixie Mix (mixture of mini colored marshmallows, raisins, pretzels, cereals), Magic Fairy Potion (7-up).

The kids had fun sprinkling their Pixie Dust and pretending to fly around the room with their wings.

(Sorry the pictures are so big. This is my first time using photobucket. I will work on learning how to resize them.)

Great ideas Kari! Where'd you get the mushroom stands? I love those!

 

[Kari-B]

Thanks Lisa! The mushrooms are all from sets I made for my kids. One set for my daughter was fairies and for my son gnomes. The bigger mushrooms are the container I made to keep all the pieces in. The medium sized mushroom is the "tables" and the small mushrooms are chairs. I used different wooden pieces from the craft store to make them.

We had Monsters Inc night over the weekend. Our menu was kept simple with Boo's Door pizzas and Mike and Sulley cupcakes. For crafts the kids made monster creations from Playdoh and colored doors to use as decorations. After dinner the kids took turns on the microphone telling jokes at the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor!

I love these ideas!!!! I have decided that we will do one night a week and use it as a countdown until my DH comes home. We have no Disney trips planned right now, but if he get pushed back I can always add on a week. Now I will have something to look forward to every weekend, hopefully the time flies by!!!

Now how do I choose what to start with?

I know we will do

Princess and the Frog ( Maybe I will coordinate that with Mardi Gras?)
Snow White
Toy Story

Mickey Classics ( lol my DD loves the Christmas ones)

When we started the family nights, I surprised my kids and DH with the first one, so I picked the movie. Now we are going to take turns with each person picking our next movie It's working out well!

Kari- that was awesome!

We are down to our LAST family night before the trip- What should we watch? I thought about the disney DVD they sent us with all the park/resort info- but we have seen it a million times. Any ideas to make this one extra special before the trip?

If you have netflix, there are a few Disney parks shows you can watch instantly.

So since my DH is out of town I decided to do a last night Up night with the kids. And I must say although this was thrown together at the last minute, it was a big hit! Soon after arriving home from school it was time to watch the movie, I like to watch the movie before dinner because my kids go to bed pretty early and if it were watched after I don't think they'd make it. After the movie we had dinner, the menu was of course hot dogs, we also had fries and corndogs for Sam (who suddenly does not like regular hot dogs ) We drank grape soda and had balloon cupcakes for dessert. After dinner we made balloon animals which was lots of fun, my DS15 and I must have spent close to an hour making animals. That $5 I spent on the little kit was well worth it! Then we played the Find the Squirrel game (an idea I got from here) the kids loved this, they played several times after I made sure each one of them had gotten a chance to win. Their prizes were Kevin's favorite chocolate bars. It was a really fun night, out of all of the ones we've done so far this has been one of our favorites!
