Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[Twoboysnmygirl]

For those of you talking about doing Alice and not having a tea pot, we did it without a traditional tea pot, we made a MAD tea party. I have a whole post with pictures, we collected all kinds of things for the table, it was crazy and our best movie day yet! Here are the pics:

My kids were unfamiliar with this movie, so we watched it last night - before the party tonight. I bought some tiki decorations and plates at the Dollar Store and we had a ton of leis left over from our stays at the Poly. DH grilled some steak, we had veggies and salad. I made a pineapple upside-down cake (never made this before- very yummy!) The kids cut up brown paper bags to make hula skirts and with the Hawaiian music I found at the library we danced and did the limbo. I printed out Hawaiian themed Bingo cards from here
http://www.dltk-cards.com/bingo/bingo1.asp (we love Bingo!) and then watched Lilo & Stitch 2 after!

Karen, that mad tea party is the bomb!!! I can't wait to do ours. I need to scour the thrift stores for tea cups and saucers, a teapot and Mad hatter hats. I have also been looking for a candleabra. I had two of them years ago and I got rid of them. What was I thinking??

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! When I look at the pics of the table, it makes me feel like a pack rat (I'm NOT, I'm totally OCD) But, we are doing our movie days with a friend and we together collectively had ALL that stuff on the table in our house or borrowed from a friend! Didn't spend a dime! I was amazed.

Now Toy Story is another thing...our kids are older and grew out of their Toy Story stuff years ago (my teenage boys were the ones with buzz action figures, army men, Mr. Potato head...all long gone now. sigh) and we can't come up with anything for decorations!

I am totally making those cards with the faces on them! I haven't seen Alice in a long time (the animated one) and am having a hard time remembering things from it. And I don't think I have a craft or game?

Try Disneyfamily.com They have a few Alice crafts, that is where I got the template for the card men and the door hangers that the kids made!

I made up a poem - inspired by the one someone used for a Peter Pan bday

Come meet us where the lions roar and monkeys swing
A place where Simba just can't wait to be king
Where Hakuna Matata means we don't worry
So relax, take your time, we're not in a hurry
Grab your binoculars, and for Rafiki a banana
to go on safari in our backyard Savanna!

Then I hid my old beanie babies around the back yard for the kids to look for and pretend to take pictures.

Getting ready to start the movie!

I love the poem! I wish we had that movie on DVD. My son hasn't seen it yet and DD hasn't seen it since she was 2 years old and we took her to see it at an IMax theater.

Anyone else having problems with the Disneyfamily website? I can't get to certain things like the disney related crafts. ArgH!

We are going to be having "Countdown" Dinners..... I am going to be doing 50 day mark, 30 day mark and 10 day mark! Off to read through the posts!

Our twelfth and final (at least for now) pre-Disney party was all about “Playhouse Disney!”

For dinner we had Tigger tails (corn dogs) (Thanks Princess Row!)

Special Agent Oso’s oh so good veggies

Handy Manny’s chicken quesidillas

Little Einstein’s little pizzas and Imagination Movers stuffed mushrooms

Ze Fronk’s French Fries

Jungle Junction Juice

Chuggington’s chocolate trains

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Sundaes

Mickey cake for my mom’s birthday

We watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Choo Choo Express. It was a great night!! We leave for Disney in 2 days!! Yay! It was a great send-off celebration!

This was kind of thrown together last minute. When DD got up Monday morning I asked her what she wanted to do today b/c Daddy was off and she said have a Disney Nite and she said she wanted Lady and the Tramp. So...here it is.

Of course we had dinner by candlelight which DD thought was awesome. It was nice b/c the sun was setting so it was getting dark, but not totally dark so we could see well.

We used the wine type of glasses, which DD also loved. I got Cran-Raspberry juice to look like wine, but DD only wanted water.
We had spaghetti (minus the meatballs, DD doesn't eat red meat so I didn't even bother) and garlic bread.

We didn't do a craft...well actually we did, we put together our new computer desk
and then we sat down and watched the movie. We had Raspberry flavored Jell-o cake and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.

Anyone have any ideas for "The Princess and the frog"? I promised DD that we could do that for our Disney night in May, but I don't have any great ideas. The obvious choice of meal would be gumbo or jumbalya or such, but DH won't eat it, let alone my preschoolers. Any ideas?

I love all the balloons for the Playhouse Disney night - so cute and festive!

Here is a link to my Princess and the Frog night. We don't eat Gumbo or Jambalaya either.

I got the zatarains mix the other day for jambalya, I'll try it and fiance will (never had it before, whats it like?) not really sure what I am going to give DD though!
