[PrincessTigerLily]

Anyone have any suggestions for new themes? I am blanking...but would love to develop more theme nights!!!

 

[reginaastralis]

This is a great thread!

We usually do a theme night about once a month ... and these ideas are AMAZING! I don't know why it never occured to me to do Disney theme's?!?!

I can't wait to write all these down ... jeesh ... I'm so excited to start these. I'm like a silly little school girl.

We had another Disney movie night on Monday. Check out my PTR in my sig. to see a couple food ideas not listed on the 101 dalmations page.

 

[aprilfoolwed]

These are adorable! I am going to use a bunch of these ideas.

My kids all have their favorite Disney things, but I have a hard time getting my 5yo son to watch anything that has a princess, or even to try some different movies.

These activities sound PERFECT for introducing a "new" movie to them! Perfect for our Friday Family nights! I think we'll start this week!!!!!

Now which movie to pick.....

Oh - and I didn't read every idea yet, but wouldn't chocolate chip pancakes be FUN FUN FUN for 101 Dalmations?????

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

So how about some ideas for the new Tinkerbell movie??

 

[MeMom]

I'l share a few from a Christmas get-together we had last weekend.

These are from dinner, and we just had lasagna, but for breakfast, we had Main Street Bakery items- banana bread, chocolate croissants, cinnamon rolls, and fruit. We enjoyed both meals, and had lunch at the mall food court while we were out shopping in the middle of the day.

My pal, Eeyore.

My granddaughter, Brooklynn and Minnie riding the carousel at the mall.

Mickey and Minnie ready to serve salad and rolls.

Disney ornaments. There were more than these, but I didn't want to get carried away.

Chip and Dale guarding the gifts.

A touch of Wilderness Lodge in the den.

A Mickey and Minnie lodge-themed card from Dawn (punkin413). She had just returned from Disney World and sent us this special touch of Disney magic!

Brooklynn opened a present for her new baby sister, who will arrive in April.

No surprise it was a dress from Disney World! I got it on our Thanksgiving trip.

I was thrilled to get this from my daughter, Jill!

I picked this gift up for Brooklynn on our Thanksgiving trip, too.

She'll be the only one in the whole pre-chool with a backpack like that!

Uncle Trent (better known as Bubby) got Brooklynn a Snow White dress.

It is possible that she loved it!

This is her dancing around like a princess in it.

I also got some Lilo and Stitch earrings.

You must understand that I am a third-grade teacher, so my kids love seeing my Disney earrings. (I do have grown-up earrings, as well, but they're not nearly as fun!)

See the Mickey platter in the back holding Christmas yummies?

See that Brooklynn kept the dress on all evening?

Mickey wishes all who enter a very Happy Holiday and a Merry Disney Christmas!

Our family wishes all DISers a very Merry Christmas and a great 2009 ahead!

Maybe our paths will cross on Disney trips. If so, give us a wave and introduce yourselves.

We've met nothing but very nice people...so far!

How did I miss this thread~ I LOVE IT !!
We are starting this immediately...lol .
I mean we always watch Disney films but this takes it to a whole other level and man do I love "other levels"...

Does it matter I don't have any small children?? Naw, I didn't think so!!

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

Great ideas everyone! Love the great pics as usual MeMom!

Anyone have any ideas for these theme nights?

1. the new Tinkerbell movie

2. Bolt (ashamed to say I haven't seen it yet...)

I think we did a few fairy ideas for an earlier Peter Pan night, but for the Tinkerbell movie the craft could be to make a fairy house to set in your garden. Any other ideas?

 

[Klinepartyof5]

Does anyone have any ideas for the High School Musicals?

 

[PrincessMom4]

First off, love love love this thread! I've been searching for ideas to incorporate after we finally tell the kids...and here it is!

DH found a Star Wars cook book at our local library book sale (50 cents baby! )

So I only have recipe ideas, but here are a few:

Breakfast:
Princess Leia Danish Dos
C-3P0 Pancakes
Twin Sun Toast
Mos Eisley Morsels
Oola-la French Toast

Beverages:
Hoth Chocolate
Skywalker Smoothies
Jawa Jive Milkshakes

The Force Fruit Fun
Tusken Raider Taters
Jabba Jiggle
Jedi Juice Pops

Main Courses:
Greedo's Burritos

Sandtrooper Sandies

If anyone wants any of those recipes, I'll be happy to type them up for you. Most of them are pretty basic, but very cute and clever! I also haven't googled any of them, so I'm not sure if they are on the net or not.

Keep the great ideas coming!

I would love some of the main menu recipes. We are leaving in 57 days and we're going to plan this theme night starting valentine's day.

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

A request has been made for a HSM theme night... My DD is in first grade, and hasn't caught the "HSM Bug" yet, so I have not the faintest idea of where to start with this one! Can anybody throw out some suggestions? I know the music is super popular, maybe the activity portion could be a High School Musical Karaoke night?

ANY idea to start us off would be AWESOME!

And a big WOO-HOO to all of you who keep breathing life into this thread, you ROCK!

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

Movie - High School Musical

Food - ???

Activities - HSM sing-along or karaoke (don't forget the video camera)
Make a wildcats pennant using red craft foam and a white paint pen

Not a slam, just constructive criticism.

I have never in my life seen so many posts by one person in one thread. I have been tracking this thread since the beginning and feel that you may be intimidating to some potential posters. Just a little advice: You don't HAVE to comment on every person's contribution to this thread. It's getting difficult to read with so many unnecessary posts.

 

[AUdisfan]

Thanks for all your hard work PrincessTigerLily! Our family has used several of the ideas I found here and we plan to use more. I'm not very good at coming up with ideas for our Disney movie nights, so I've loved seeing everyone elses. I appreciate you taking the time to keep the thread going.

 

[Hollyster2]

I really enjoy reading all of the them nights!
