Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[nancy drew]

Oh, any alternate food ideas for Brother Bear? My kids wouldn't touch salmon with a 10 foot pole, so that's out. I could make fish-shaped something else, maybe pancakes? They love Brother Bear and would likely love a BB themed night, but I'm stuck on foods.

On the Menu:
Stitch's Chicken Skewers
K'auai Fruit K'bobs
Hawaiian Friendship Bread
Lilo's Rice Pilaf
Pina Coladas
Chocolate Molten Lava cakes
(lots of credit and kudos to my2disneyboys and Princesstigerlily)

We had a big week, so the kids were sent to bed early with promises of Lilo and Stitch over muffins in the morning. I am finishing off the Pina Coladas in peace and quiet...What a day!!

Next up-OUR NIGHT BEFORE DISNEY PARTY!!! WOOT WOOT!! Next friday!!!!

Hurray, We finally had our first disney theme night. The movie was Fantasia 2000...we don't have the original. I used some ideas from Tiger lilly about the cups and forks for pudding, but I put brown paper around both to make the buckets and brooms instead of painting them.

My kids weren't too familiar w/ this movie, so we did the movie first. Then pudding after the Sorcerer's Apprentice part. After it was all over, we turned on a classical music channel on cable and drew what one song made us think of (Just like the artists did). Then we turned to a swing channel and danced. We kept it on swing and jazz and brought out the box of instruments and had a blast! We danced some more during that part too.

Thanks for all the great ideas. Looking forward to our next night already!!

WOW! Everything looks great! We're doing Lilo & Stitch the night before we leave because we are staying at the Poly, I thought the theme was perfect!

Amandamouseketeer- what a great night! And dancing ought to wear the kiddos out, even better! Keep sharing!!

Oh gracious - this is one of the most informative threads I have ever seen. The ideas are AMAZING!!! I am making my list for our meals in preparation for our Sept trip. My kids are going to go nuts!!

Would they eat fish sticks?

Or could you make fish shaped pizzas? The pancake idea is cute, though!

No, they are the world's pickiest eaters . Fish pizzas is a good idea, thanks!

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions on how to make a homemade baseball board game (simple is good!). Trying to hash it out in my mind...square board with the bases, using game dice to roll for single, double, triple, home run, strike, etc. Anybody?
Would like to use this for "Meet the Robinsons" night tomorrow.
Thanks all!

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

These are excellent, I love seeing the pictures too! I really would like to do something the night before we leave (May 13th). Not really sure what though. DD LOVES Lilo and Stitch, she also likes Nemo, Bug's Life, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Cinderella, Snow White.

I thought the incredibles was a cute idea

jngwright: have a request! Could you please post your recipe for the molten lava cakes please? Thank you! Now I must wipe the drooling saliva off my face and keyboard...

Great thread!

I love these ideas! Hadn't thought of it before...

Another reason why I love this board


Thanks

Super cute!! Could you print out some of the characters and put them on some sort of a little cardboard stand and use them to "run around the bases??
Roll a:
1-single 2-double 3-triple 4-home run 5-strike 6-ball...

From Kraft Food and Family. I used muffin cups instead to have a more manageable size serving. It made 8!
4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

PREHEAT oven to 425°F. Butter four 3/4-cup custard cups or soufflé dishes. Place on baking sheet.
MICROWAVE chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until butter is melted. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar until well blended. Blend in eggs and egg yolks with wire whisk. Stir in flour. Divide batter among prepared custard cups.
BAKE 13 to 14 min. or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand 1 min. Carefully run small knife around cakes to loosen. Invert cakes onto dessert dishes. Serve immediately, topped with whipped topping.

Oh Yummy. I am going to have to make that. We finally have decided to go back June 2010 and we are taking Grandma, grandpa, uncle zack, aunt brittany and her boyfriend. Grandma, Grandpa, U. Zack, and boyfriend have never been before. I requested a planning DVD be sent to them so they can start thinking about what they want to do while they are there. We are so excited because we live in different states and only get to see each other once or twice a year. I am going to start doing a disney night each month.

Had "Meet the Robinsons" night! We had spaghetti and Tiny (actually pretty big) meatballs, Goob's green wth envy garden salad, Lewis' hat fruit salad (like the big Carmen Miranda-style hat Wilbur sticks on him to hide his hair from the family), home run rolls, and peanut butter and jelly sandwich cookies (dough from scratch, roll into 1" balls and flatten with bottom of drinking glass. Cool completely then spread fruit preserves between two PB cookies. Must have with milk!). We made Lewis hair hats (bought yellow poster board, cut in large strips, fringed one side to look like Lewis' hair, taped in place. DD looked hilarious!) and played our homemade "Goob Baseball" game. DH was suitably impressed with my game considering I am not exactly the sporting type. He said it was fun and would like to play it again some time! Will try to learn how to post pics and show it later!

I am making these- YUMMY!! I can't BELIEVE you leave in 4 days, you must be so excited.

We are preparing for our next theme night, which we will do on Saturday night. This time it's Pinocchio's turn! We'll do our usual Disney Scene-It 2nd Edition game-playing and play "Hide Mickey". We take turns hiding a small stuffed Mickey doll that came in a box of cereal recently. We always try to watch the movie with our projector on the big screen with the kids camped out in Disney pajamas with sleeping bags on our inflatable mattress as a nod to our upcoming January 2010 stay, which will be at Ft. Wilderness in the cabins.

For Pinocchio the menu will be Italian, although I haven't quite narrowed it down further than that. I'll post it when I finalize it!

We plan to play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey as an activity, and the kids are going to put on a puppet show using the marionettes we have already. I am going to cut out star shapes for each of us to write a wish on. Then we will hang them up near our movie screen for the day.

We're pretty excited about these Disney Dinner and a Movie Nights!

Okay, peeps-I need help with our Night Before Disney party. I am planning on making Mickey Pizzas, and Mickey Sundaes. Any ideas for a side dish or two??

We will do an early screening of Fun and Fancy Free, then off to bed EARLY! We have to be up at 4 a.m. to get to Minneapolis for our flight.

Could you tie in the pirate theme with some "pirate sword" fruit kabobs? Mickey pancakes? "Magic Wand" breadsticks? Do you have the Disney pastas in your grocery store? I've seen Cars and Mickey shapes in with the regular pastas.

Have fun, good luck, can't wait to see pics! We leave for Disneyland in a week and I can't wait! We can't do a Night Before party, as the kids will be with their dad all day and get home at bedtime.
