Whew! I have spent the better part of my online time for a week now reading this whole thread - and I have thouroughly enjoyed it. :goodvibes

We just got back last month and are already planning our next trip in 2 years. After reading this awesome thread, we're going to do a Disney night once a month or so between now and then to keep us all excited and Disney-fied. :rotfl: Think we'll do our first one in a few weeks - DD's birthday party (Cinderella theme!) is next weekend and I need to finish planning that first!

Thank you all so much for the wonderful ideas and pictures!!

Can anyone give me ideas for Bolt? We are working on a book called "Disney A-Z. Each week we will work on a different letter and name the rides and characters that begin with that letter, we also pick a word of the week to learn. Guess what this weeks word is?????

BOLT!

So we will be incorporating our Disney Nights with the letter of the week! Please send me any ideas you have for Bolt!

Thanks!!

My friend and I are hosting a table at a Calendar party. For those of you who don't know that is , the party consists of 12+ tables, each table decorated to fit a month or a certain theme. We chose disney!

We wanted to have varied movies and characters included in our table but are having a hard time coming up with foods, decoration ideas, table settings, etc. If anyone has any ideas please they would be greatly appreciated!

Oh,
we have to have an awesome centerpiece because it is an raffle item. Any ideas on that as well?

THANKS!!!:thumbsup2
 
We are going to be in Disney World one month from today. To celebrate, we had a POP party for Father's Day, since we will be staying at Pop Century.

I blew up the Pop logo and colored it for the table background.

In the meantime, let's keep enjoying Disney at home with all of these awesome ideas that everyone is sharing!
 
Well, our house had a Hannah Montana birthday party just this week. Not a Disney Movie but on Disney Family Channel. Girls were given "backstage passes" when they arrived.

Food: Pop Star Pizza ~ turned triangle pizza slices backwards and arranged on a platter to make a star
Pop Star Punch ~ rimmed the glasses with purple sugar, threw 'pop rocks' in the glasses and filled with punch so they fizzed and popped
AND Pink Guitar cake

Activities ~ Hot Microphone (like hot potatoe)
~ Hidden Microphone (hid a microphone, all the girls had to look for it and once they found it quietly sit down until everyone found it. First person to find it got to hid it for another round.
~ Celebrity Buzz (Telephone)
~ dress up relay
~ wanted to teach them the Hoe Down Throw Down but ran out of time

Craft ~ we made shrink art guitar rings

Mom and Dad wore "Security" tshirts

You can check out photos of the birthday at

Tonight for the letter "C", we watched Camp Rock!

For Dinner we had a cookout- and had Hamburgers, Corn on the Cob, Beans - It was yummy.

For Dessert we made Smores and popped some Jiffy Popcorn to have while we watched the movie.

For the activity Daddy made a tent and we put the kids sleeping bags in the livingroom to watch the movie. We all had to be a character in the movie, and when that character would sing, we would have to get up and sing/dance that part!

We had our second pre-Disney party recently and it was a blast! Our theme for this one was "An Under the Sea Adventure."

Mickey was in his swim trunks ready for the party! ;)

For dinner we had Shrimp Cocktail,

Chef Louis’ famous Shrimp Creole and Shrimp & Sausage Jambalaya (Sebastian may have gotten away from him, but the shrimp weren’t so lucky),
IMG_2441.jpg


Seaweed Pasta (stir-fry shrimp and vegetables),
IMG_2434.jpg


Shell Pasta (mac & cheese).
IMG_2432.jpg


For dessert we had blueberry muffins that I added pictures of characters so everyone could pick their favorite.

After dessert we played "Go Fish"
IMG_2462.jpg


Then we had a “crab race” (Players hold their ankles and run sideways like a crab to the finish line. If at any time the players let go of their ankles or fall they have to start over again.) Try it... very, very funny!

Then we took a vote on whether or not to watch Finding Nemo or one of the three Little Mermaid movies. We ended up watching "The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning" because a few of us hadn’t seen it yet. I recommend it if you like The Little Mermaid. It explains a lot!
 
We had a Monster's Inc. lunch today. I made the cupcakes I saw posted on here of Mike and Sully. We made pizza doors by shaping the dough like little doors and letting each child design their own with various pizza toppings. We drank Sully punch - blue gatorade with sprite and purple ice cubes. Make the ice cubes by freezing purple gatorade or koolaid.

I have pictures, but they will have to come later when my camera and computer decide to cooperate with each other for once.
 
Last night we watched Miracle. - What a great movie!!

For Dinner we had an ALL AMERICAN BBQ! (We had to eat inside because of thunderstorms and rain!)

For Dessert we had 4th of July Doughnuts!! (hidden mickey alert!)

For the Activity we went outside and the kids got to do some Sparklers and Daddy let off a few firecrackers.... They had a blast!!

Thank you all for your AMAZING ideas! We had our first Disney Theme Night (which is now every Friday until our trip in Sept)! Tonight's movie was Aladdin :woohoo:
I hadn't seen this movie in ages and was so happy the boys liked it!

We took the boys playroom table and cushions from the couch. I decorated the table with scarf's from the dollar store!

If any of you creative, wonderful parents want to adopt me...I'm available!

These are some of the cutest ideas I've seen in a long time -- really fantastic. I kinda wish my kids were a little younger again...they think they're getting "too cool" for themed stuff and animated flicks...sniff...
