Activities - Make Davy's coonskin cap! (using paper and cotton balls)
http://www.coonskincap.com/pioneer.htm
Davy's Dead-on Eye Game (Line up a bunch of empty soda cans, and using rubberbands try to shoot them down!)
B'ar huntin' variation: cut out brown grocery bag bear heads and tape them on to the tops of the soda cans.
Learn Davy's theme song:
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.

Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.

Fought single handed through the Injun war,
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored.
And while he was handling this risky chore,
Made himself a legend, forevermore.

Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear.

He went of to Congress and served a spell
Fixin' up the government and laws as well.
Took over Washington, I heard tell,
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear.

When he come home, his politickin' was done,
While the western march had just begun.
So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun
And let out a grinnin' to follow the sun.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneer.

Mom2disneyboys-where did you get the jammies?? I am trying to find short jammies for our trip, with no luck!!! The rest of your night was sooo cute!! I am planning a Mickey night for the week before we leave (3 more theme nights!!)

Princess..I am going to ponder Indy and Davy...The only thing I could come up with off the top of my head was making breadsticks and curving them to look like snakes (raisins for eyes??) for Indy.

Aladdin tomorrow night!!

I got the PJ's at Target last week. (I am all done shopping for clothes for this trip- but I couldn't resist!)
I can't wait to see your Aladdin pictures. Have a great Disney Night!

Movie - Indiana Jones

Menu - Snake pit with boulders (spaghetti and giant meatballs)
http://mikmawmawiomi.blogspot.com/2007/09/italian-meatballs-recipe.html
Snakes on a Stick **thanks to jngwright!** Can dip in melted cheese or marinara sauces
http://www.recipezaar.com/Snakes-on-a-Stick-156881
Chilled Monkey Brains (cherry or strawberry jello chopped up)

Activities - Snake pit (using masking tape create a square on your floor and fill liberally with $1 store rubber snakes. Players must reach the other side, grab the "ancient artifact", and get back to the other side without touching any snakes!)
Grab the Grail Game (spray paint a plastic goblet gold or gray, and use it to play a modified version of "steal the bacon')
Indy's Adventure Obstacle Course: *these ideas are from another thread on the DIS, please note the authors of these ideas!**
An obstacle course would be great- you should have a pit (2 ropes that they have to jump), a bridge (wooden boards that aren't too high), and something to wade through(like a baby pool filled with something (balls, stuffed animals). The boys who haven't seen the movie won't get it but those who have and your son will. submitted by rlovew
Also you should get a big punching balloon from walmart, I think they are 2 for .88 and blow them up as big as you can and then paper mache them, spray paint them grey and you have big boulders to roll around in the back yard. A tree to hang a rope swing on maybe jump over fake water. submitted by mum of two pirates

Additionally, if this is done in the summer time, wouldn't it be fun to line the obstacle course with tiki torches and do it at night? You can make a map out of a brown paper grocery bag to show the proper order of obstacle events. It would be great to have some artifacts and treasure at the end!

Sorry for the three-month or so delay; just switched computers.

On page 19, I posted our ideas for our 'Disney Theme Park Night.'
I FINALLY got around to uploading the pictures form that.
They are not as elaborate as many of the one's already posted, but keep in mind that our youngest is 16, and I was probably the most excited about the decoration out of our entire group- so they are very modest.

Here we go...

Our dinner... 'Minnie' dogs, Mickeroni, Fries, Ear-shaped pancakes

Dessert!

Pirates of the Caribbean...

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin/Toy Story Mania...

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh...

Magic Kingdom boardgame...

Ahhhh...Target! The one place I DIDN'T go today....

Princess-great Davy and Indy ideas!!! After our trip in a few weeks, we won't be going back until fall 2010, so all the ideas on here will keep my spirits up until then!

 

[jngwright]

On the Menu:

Aladdins Big Nabob Kabobs
Abu's Couscous
Jasmine's Honey Lime Ambrosia
The Sultan's Wine
Rajah's Tiger Cookies (thanks disdrmg!)

And here was DH's reaction when I told him he was in charge of teaching us belly dancing...

 

[disdrmg]

Jngwright - great pics. once again! Did you do any crafts or games for Aladdin? What is next week?

We ended up postponing our night due to the Kids Choice Awards and Final Four ( 2 weekends in a row) so we are going to try and do a couple over spring break. We are trying to stretch them out until Dec. anyway, but with so many movies I don't think it will be a problem. Everyone is disappointed when we miss a weekend.

 

[jngwright]

It was my bday on Saturday, so we had a super busy weekend. We didn't do any projects or games. Just watched the movie-I thought it would be fun to do bellydancing, but they all said "NO!" I know the craft that PrincessTigerLily had listed was making a magic carpet, but I just didn't get around to getting the stuff

We are doing Toy Story/Pizza Planet next. Not sure if it will be on Sunday, with Easter and all... They had really cute outer space stuff in the $ section at Target, so I picked up some of that in preparation!

Have a great week

2 weeks and 5 days!! WOW!!!! Lucky you! I love the table set up for Aladdin- it looks great!

 

[magicmom2007]

We are doing Monsters, Inc. tonight. We decided on breakfast foods for our meal since the monsters scare the kids at night. We figured all of the monsters and kids probably need a hearty breakfast after all of that screaming! On our menu for tonight:

Boo's Breakfast Pizza
Sully's Cinnamon Rolls
Randall Strips (Bacon)
Mike's Eyeballs (Grits)

Dessert will probably be Bowls of Screams (ice cream sundaes).

We are going to have cutouts of door shapes to design and color our own doors as an activity. We will play Disney Scene-It before starting the movie because I have gotten the 2nd edition, which we haven't played yet.

We usually find all of the plastic toys gather from the kids' toy containers that relate to the movie, too, and set them around to "watch" with us. We'll put up our big screen and use the projector. We also inflate the air mattress so the kids can be comfortable with all their blankets and pillows on the floor.

It's been a month since we've been able to do a Disney Dinner and a Movie Night, so we're all pretty excited and looking forward to Daddy getting home from work tonight so we can get started!

Our next movie is going to be Bambi, just because it seems like the springtime thing to do!

A Rumblee in my Tumblee "Cars" Disney Night

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Food:
Lightning McQueen's Sandwiches

Pit Stop Snacks

Leaning Tower of Tires

Stop Lights

Oil -Welch's Grape Juice

Mater's Oil Sundaes

For Activity:
First Myles and Owen colored in their new "Cars" coloring book, and then after the movie we played with the "Cars" cards- played War!

 

[jngwright]

my2disney...The tower of tires is SOOOO cute!! What a great idea. And-lol, we have the same Lightning McQueen dishes as you

The Monster's Inc for breakfast was a super cute idea!

Isn't this so much fun??

 

[tchrrx]

I am trying to count down our trip by watching movies that are as old as the number of days we have left. For example, on our 50 days until Disney day, we watched Sleeping Beauty b/c it's 50 years old. We had chicken cordon 'blue' (I left the toothpicks in it with a warning not to touch the spindles). We also had pink princess sherbert for dessert.

Next Friday, we'll watch Aristocats and have French Onion Soup. What goes well with the soup? I thought about making cream puffs for dessert, but I'm not sure whether they are french or not.

Just recomended to this site and absolutly love it. So many great ideas and I can't wait to try one.

We are loving this!! Are you doing anything special for your Night before Disney Night?? I would love to hear your plans!!

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

Loving the tower of tires!

Anyone come up with any additional "Night Before Disney" ideas? They should probably be easy and no-muss/no-fuss...

 

[jngwright]

We are loving this!! Are you doing anything special for your Night before Disney Night?? I would love to hear your plans!!

Maybe we should put off our Mickey Mouse night and do it the night before we leave???

 

[rushing]

I love all the cute ideas.

Boulangerie Patisserie has cream puffs, so they must be French, or you could do Napoleans...

What about French bread or baguettes with your soup?

OT-will someone teach me to quote multiple posts in one reply post?? You'd think I'd be able to figure this out...
