Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[DisneyDoc5]

Yippie, we just had our first Disney Family Fun Night tonight, Lady and the Tramp! Kids ages 4-10, DH, DGrandma, all had a great time. I would love some direction from my fellow Dis friends on how to post pics, then I will share the night via photos. Thanks for all of the awesome ideas, we had a great time!

We are going to be doing a disney party in about 2 weeks. Wizards of Waverly Place movie is playing the same evening.

any food ideas?

Let me see if i can get my creative mind flowing
Maybe you can have 'potion soup' and the russos (the family on waverly place) own a sub shop so maybe everyone can make their own sub. And then for dessert bake wizard hat shaped cookies or something. Also decorate with a tropical theme because the movie takes place in a tropical setting. Let me know if I helped. Maybe for an activity everyone can take turns making spells and make wizard hats?

Hi,
Glad to hear disney night turned out so great
I know how you feel on the pictures it took me FOREVER to figure out. First you need to upload the pictures to the computer. Then make an account on photobucket.com. Once you have an account you need to opload the pictures to there. Then mouse over to the photo and it will say link options click on img code and then copy the code for bulletons and boards and then paste on to the thread. Let me know if you need more detailed help

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...

I love it - where did you get the board game from - my kids would love that game.

Thank you, thank you! I am going to give it a try right now!

Yes, I figured out how to post pictures!!! So here is our first Disney Family Fun Night, Lady and the Tramp. We had pasta and meatballs, Lady's salad, Tramp's garlic bread, and cherry (juice) wine. While I was cooking I had the kids and grandma start a Lady and the Tramp puzzle (found it at Michael's - it has several puzzles in one box, with the coupon it was about $8). Then we had dinner. After dinner, they colored Lady and the Tramp pictures I found on Disney.com printable page (this is also where I downloaded the decorations on the table - all free). Then we had a paw print hunt, each child searched for a separate paw print color, when they found all six, they got a box with bones on it and inside was a ball with that sparkle juice on the inside. I made puppy chow (recipe on the rice chex box) for a snack and they ate it out of bowls like dogs. Then we all sat down and watched the movie. It was a huge hit with all ages and they are busy helping me plan a party for every movie they can think of! Thank you to everyone that has contributed to this thread, I love it!

We actually found it at Toys 'R Us. It's a lot of fun, especially if you're a fan of the parks (which we all are). You get to "visit" the attractions and move around the park

We had our fourth pre-Disney party on Friday night. It was a "Toy Story Mania" party! None of us have gotten a chance to ride the ride, so it’s something we all look forward to doing on our trip next year.

Cowboy Mickey

Toy Story Pizza Planet in HS was the inspiration for the menu. It made for a really easy night since we just picked up some pizzas from our favorite pizza place. The rest of the menu included Buzz’s Breadsticks, Sarge’s Salad, Bo Peep’s Banana Nut Muffins and Woody’s Cowboy Cake.

It was also my sister’s birthday, so we stuck candles in the cake and sang "Happy Birthday" after watching Toy Story.

We had planned to play a Disney trivia game after the movie, but we got started a little late and everyone was really tired. I don’t think anyone noticed though, it was fun watching my sister open up her presents.

Side note: We originally were planning on going to Disney World at the beginning of June, but now we think it might work out better if we go the last week of April instead. Everyone is really excited that we might get to go sooner… but disappointed that might mean two less pre-Dis party nights. We just might have to have one every week in April instead of every month.

Thanks again PrincessTigerLily for the great thread and MeMom for the inspiring post on pg. 11.

My daughter decided we needed to have a Wizards of Waverly Place the movie family night tomorrow night (for the movie premiere on Disney Channel). Our ideas are inspired from the Disney channel website for WoWP. There's even a party planner on the site.

Movie: The Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie

Food:
Pigs in Beach Blankets
Max's Crazy Cut Out Sandwiches
Russo-touille
Pina Colada Beachie Sorbet (sorbet from Costco in real fruit shells)
Tropical Banana Pudding

Activities:

Journey to the Cave of Darkness (treasure hunt): follow the pineapple (paper cutouts) trail, don’t fall in the quicksand (pillows to jump over), collect the golden statue (soccer trophy) and the energy crystal (cheap chrystal vase) on your way to the cave (made of blankets and chairs).

Quest for the Stone of Dreams-find stones (marbles) hidden in the cave, collect 5 and win a prize.

Create our own postcards (using card stock and markers), use these to send from Disney next month.

I'm looking for ideas for Race to Witch Mountain. Does anyone more creative than me have any good ideas?

Thanks,
Kelli

What an awesome sister and brother-in-law! Have a magical trip.

I haven't seen Race to Witch Mountain, but from seeing the preview I know it's about a taxi cab driver (The Rock) trying to get these two kids to their spaceship so they can return to their planet.

The only ideas I have are possible activities. You could always get the kids to each draw a spaceship, or make one out of play-doh.

I also think it might be fun to let them go on their own race to try to get to Witch Mountain. You could have activities throughout the house, like put a puzzle together in one room, build a tower out of blocks in the next, then throw a few balls in a laundry basket (or something like that). Maybe have a little toy spaceship at the end so they can feel like they succeeded.

This thread is AWESOME! Thank you for all your ideas!! Our baby is due to arrive in November and I get sad thinking about missing out on WDW next year, but now we can celebrate at home! THANK YOU!

Toy Story-Mr. Potatohead Theme

We did this for my husband's birthday last year, but it could easily be a super-fun disney night:

Baked Potato Bar
Cake for dessert (use a football pan and then just stick potato head parts into it)

We played all kinds of silly games with our potato heads:
In 3 minutes see how many potatohead parts you can put on Mr. Potatohead
I gave each person a picture of a completed potatohead and whoever finished first won a prize (playdough!).
We did some potatohead trivia and watched old potatohead commercials on youtube (hilarious!).
But the best part was using mashed potatoes to sculpt a Mr. Potatohead!
