Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[my2disneyboys]

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.

hmm - what is fun and fancy free? I am not sure for side dishes that would go with pizza. Maybe- Pizza Planet Chicken Salad - Mixed greens, grilled chicken breast, cantaloupe, cucumber, red onion, tomato, green peas, fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette

Have a wonderful trip! I can't wait to hear about your trip- make sure you come back and do a trip report!

We have those Disney pastas in our Targets (the ones with the grocery sections inside them - Greatlands??). I would cook the pasta up and then turn it into a cold pasta salad for the side of the pizzas (Italian dressing, sliced black olives, shredded carrots, the usual...)

It would be fun to incorporate beans into the mix somehow to go with the Fun & Fancy Free theme... maybe just some green beans on the side (BTW, are we the only strange household that forces our kids to eat a veggie along with their takeout pizza? Told you I was a meanie...)

Have a FABULOUS time on your vacation, and please hurry and plan your next one...purely selfish, as I have grown accustomed to logging on and seeing your awesome pictures of your countdown nights!

Safe travel and !

I knew I could count on you guys!!

Nickie-Fun and Fancy Free is the movie that has Mickey and the Beanstalk on it, along with a movie about a bear (Bongo??)

Thanks for the sendoff-I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I will be posting the boys reaction in my PTR. The link is in my siggie.

I am hoping for a fall 2010 trip to do MNSSHP, as we have never done that-then hoping to do a big trip with all the people who were in our wedding party (and their families) to celebrate our 11th anniversary on 11/11/11!! So, no fears! I am staying on this thread!!!

Activity:
Tonight Wayne and the boys made a stage! The hung up a couple of sheets, and a string of lights, and cut out some stars. Wayne is really good at drawing and he made all the pictures of the different Muppets for Myles to color and we hung them up on the stage.

For the first performance I sang a little song... and then Daddy played the keyboard.

Myles did a stand up act- which was very funny! "Wocka Wocka"

Owen played a song on the Keyboard

We did dog tricks with Daisy for the finale

We are about to go watch the movie now, but I wanted to post some pics! Have a great night.

[jngwright]

Nickie-I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! And-I told you we were separated at birth...I have that same tablecloth!

Can't wait to see what you do for Alice-we are doing that on May 29th, when my nieces stay over again!

 

[jngwright]

To quote MeMom from earlier in this thread:
"Twas the night before Disney,
and all through the house,
no one was sleeping,
because they'd soon see the Mouse!

The children were stuffing
their backpacks with treats-
coloring books and videos
and all kinds of sweets!"

I love that poem!

On the Menu:
Mickey Pizza
Minnie Mouseberries
Mickey's Magic Beans
Mickey Mouse Sundaes

We watch Mickey and the Beanstalk from Fun and Fancy Free. We also watched the planning DVD.

Well, folks!! We are off in the a.m. I sure have enjoyed this thread and look forward to visiting when we get back Thanks for all the fun!

Tonight we had another Great Disney Night thanks to Leanne!! (our really nice DIS friend who sent us her copy of the movie to watch)

Movie: Alice in Wonderland

Food:
We had picnic fare- it was so warm today and sunny, so we made small sandwiches and had that with some lemonade!

The drinks had "Drink me" and the cookies had "Eat me" on them.

Dessert:
Wayne made a "Merry UnBirthday Cake" So Yummy!!!
I made the sugar cookies

Activity:
We hade the rabbit hole that everyone had to go through as they entered the house. The boys loved playing in it and even Daisy loved it! (We had a hard time getting her out of it!)

We played cards too- it was so much fun~

Decorations:
Of course we made it look like a tea party and we made tissue flowers, and put up signs that said "Over there" and "that way". We also hung streamers and set the table for a Merry UnBirthday Party. It looked really cute!

It was a really fun night.

 

[nancy drew]

I love the Alice in Wonderland one! We had a mini-Alice night last week, with the Eat Me cookies, but I didn't do all the fun stuff you did! I love the rabbit hole!!!

I'm pretty sure I already commented on the Night Before Disney in the TR, but if not, I love it!!!

Tonight we are doing Bug's Life, since we haven't seen it in ages and we will likely spend a lot of time in Bug's World at DCA. I'll post pics later.

 

[nancy drew]

Tonight we had Bug's Life night!

We started off the evening playing Cootie and this bug puzzle I have. Then the kids made caterpillars!

My daughter complimented me on making recycled art. They've been talking about recycling and Earthy things at school lately.

The finished products:

Dinner began with Ants on a Log and Francis' Ladybugs:

There was a real meal, not terribly buggy so no photos of that, and for dessert we had dirt! Chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and a gummy worm:

Last thing we did before watching the movie is plant some seeds:

We are watching the movie now!

Tonight was our last Disney Night before the big trip!!

We watched Monsters Inc.

For our Monsterish Spooky Dinner we had: Sullys Spooky Deviled Eggs, Randalls Eyeball Grapes, Apple Fingers

We made lunch bags for "the factory workers" and they had a sandwich, juice box, chips and a cookie

For Desset Myles and Mommy made "Mike's" Cupcakes (Owen really enjoyed these)

For our Activity we had "The Goody Laugh Floor" we all took turns telling some Jokes! It was really fun

Ok here is one for you all to share with your kids:
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Boo
Boo Who?
Boo Who? Your going to Disney, why are you crying!

 

[MeMom]

We had A Very Disney Day party yesterday.

The kids boarded the Disney bus.

At Magic Kingdom, they did Dumbo and Pirates of the Caribbean activities.

At Epcot, they found Nemo.

At Hollywood Studios, they enjoyed Toy Story Midway Mania.

At Animal Kingdom, they went on a safari.

We had plenty of kid friendly food.

It was a lot of fun.
So, when you can't go to Disney World, just make Disney World come to you!

 

[PrincessTigerLily]

Oh...my...gosh...
MeMom, you are endlessly talented!!!
That is the COOLEST Disney themed party I have EVER seen! Can I come to your next one??? LOVE the Disney bus!!! WOW!

 

[my2disneyboys]

MeMom, WOW- what a cool mom you are bringing the magic of Disney to your home! Looks like it was a great party!! I love the safari hats.
