We had our toy story themed countdown the other night and after we made our pizzas, we played "Pin the face on Mr. Potato Head" I have three kids that could play, so they pinned on the eyes, nose and mouth to the large oval shape I cut out of a roll of brown paper. Very funny and they had a good time.

I had been sick all week, so this was a low-key night. I put out a fancy table cloth and teacups/ saucers. I taped little "drink me" signs to the sides of the teacups. We had just a normal dinner - nothing themed about it! But I made little treats ( I covered chocolate covered donuts in colored fondant, added some rainbow sprinkles - they looked like petit fours -kind of!). I put each one in a cupcake paper which I displayed in my metal cupcake stand. I put a sign saying "eat me" on the top of the stand. We played this Alice board game from http://disney.go.com/partners/printandplay/, which was fun. Then we watched the movie. DD wore her Alice costume from Halloween, which made it a little more festive!

We did Pirates of the Caribbean on Sunday night. I threw it together at the last minute so nothing fancy. I gathered all of our pirate gear- bandanas, eye patches, Jack Sparrow hat, sword and foam gun and displayed them on our dining room table. I also had a pirates centerpiece from the Dollar tree. Then I gathered our mardi gras beads and the left over chocolate coins from our cruise in Dec and put them out as the treasure.

We put on our pirate gear and settled in for the movie. We had already eaten dinner so we just did dessert. Dessert was extra pudding cups I had left over from Haunted Mansion night. I put them in dishes, with the oreo crumbs on top and then used our pirate coins and easter jelly beans for treasure on top. I called them Black Pearl Treasure cups. They did look cute!

That was it but my kids loved it! My son said, I love these movie nights! They are so much fun!

Any ideas for Tower of Terror? I just found out there was a made for tv movie out in the 90's and they have it on dvd at Amazon. So I bought it. Reviews seemed pretty good.

Now I don't have any clue on how to work this into a movie night. Ideas??

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful ideas! I will be starting my family nights this friday night and can't wait to try out the things on this thread!

We did Monsters, Inc. for our Family Movie Night last Saturday night.

The cover of our menu was Boo's door:

We had Boo's Burgers, Sully's Silly Fries, Randall's Invisible Veggie Burger and Mike's Eye Scream:

We got our hard hats from Disney on Ice. If you could find some hard hats, spray paint them turquoise, print the MI logo on a round sticker and put it on the front. I found these online you could use: http://www.ezpartyzone.com/pd-construction-party-plastic-hard-hat.cfm

The caution tape was made with yellow paper streamer and black stick-on letters (found in the scrapbook section of a craft store).

I couldn't find anything to make a scream tank with, so I used a yellow Chinese lantern. I made the "scream counter" out of paper, used double-sided tape and stuck it to the outside.

Thanks! Good idea on making the caution tape! You are so creative!

Ahhhh! I love those footprints! So stinking cute! I am on a diet and that food looks so awesome.

I'd like to do Alice next, little sandwiches, tea and pastires/pies (yeah, I'm on a diet hahahaha ) but I don't have a nice little tea pot. I have a kettle. I am being too anal about displaying stuff huh?

 

[kkmcan]

Too anal? Nah, I saw a silver tea service/pot at a thrift store last week and didn't buy it. Then we saw Alice in Wonderland at the theater last weeekend and I wished I had bought that tea pot so we could do an Alice night with the original version.

Sorry, but I absolutely can't do Alice until I have a teapot! I'll keep looking.

This is probably the dumbest question ever but how did you guys make/print your menus?

I have no idea how to get those characters onto the document. So I typed up our menu with the fancy letters and printed it out. Then I went to Google Images and put in A Bugs Life. Then I picked some pics out and printed them. Cut them out and glued them onto my menu.

I know there's any easier way but I don't know how to do it.

TIA,
Kelly

We just did Alice last weekend, and I was sad I didn't have a tea pot, either!

I google say Nemo and click on images. Then when I find what I want I right click on the image and hit copy image then I click on my document and paste it on.
