Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

This was for a birthday party that I did for my son about 2 years ago- it was a Stars Wars theme, but it was all about the Light Sabers- he built one in Dtd, and was hooked! Of course, he informed me that light sabers are only red and blue, so that was my challenge!

These were pretzel rods that I dipped in colored chocolate that I got at AC Moore; I covered the bottom in foil for handles, and the light saber buttons are m&m's.

And, finally, here was the cupcakes, made to form dueling light sabers:

I Would like to tell everybody about My mom & I's UP night. :) We had never seen this movie so we were excited.

So for dinner we had hot dogs, french fries, baked beans :)

For snacks we had little hershey candy bars, cupcakes which I put 2-3 dumdum suckers sticking out (to represent baloons) and also grape soda in glass bottles.

For decorations we had a little house with a handle on the top which I tied three helium balloons. I also had a Carl sticker which I put on the door to the little house, it was pretty cute I think and My mom liked it.

We loved the movie also - so cute :)
 
Does anyone have any ideas for Chicken Little? I didn't see it listed on the index- my first thought was chicken nuggets for the meal, but that somehow just seems wrong. :laughing: I am thinking of something with baseball type food- like hot dogs, nachos, etc since baseball is such a big part of the movie. Hmmm, something with acorns? Not sure how to incorporate that one.

Any ideas?
 
So I promised pics immediately after our last movie night and I'm just now getting around to it a month later....and still in lazy fashion. I have quite a few pics on my facebook so I'm just posting the link to the pics here. We did The Three Caballeros as we had never seen the movie. I wasn't super impressed and DD hated it, but the food was awesome! You can't go wrong with Mexican food. :) We will for sure do it again just for the food. We are having a Disney Christmas themed breakfast in the morning which I am SUPER excited about. My goal is to get pics up within a week, but we'll see. ;)

All the fiesta plates, bowls, and hats came from the Dollar Tree last year around Cinco de Mayo.

Great photos! The food looks yummy!!

The only things I can think of are snacks. Sunflower seeds and Gummy worms. :)

You could bake cupcakes & ice them in dark blue with white dots (the night sky with stars) & arrange them in the shape of the "piece of sky" that started the movie. And don't forget some kind of soda pop. If you get really brave or if it's nice weather outside, have a couple extra soda pops to shake up & show that soda really does fizz & spew like Chicken Little made it.

For a craft, you could glue some yarn to one side of a small ball & wrap it so it sticks up on the other end. Unravel & brush the yarn on the end, stick 3 googlie eyes & maybe some pipe cleaner legs. Each crafter has his/her very own alien!

Play a game of dodge ball. Do some karaoke with some 80's songs. Have some glow-sticks available for decorations & to play with. You can get them cheap at the $Tree. Might even be fun to read the original version of Chicken Little before or after the movie.
 
For Halloween this year we went with an Alice in Wonderland theme. Here are some of the pictures from our tea party. :)

So we've finally gotten back to our theme nights! December was so busy that we only got 1 in and that was in the beginning of the month.

Our movie tonight was Mulan, quite an easy movie to do dinner for. I made orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, dumplings and white rice. It was a blast watching the kids try to eat with the chopsticks! For dessert we had fortune cookies and panda cupcakes. We had won an asian themed basket in a raffle at the kids school winter fair so we had a few cute things for decorations and we were joined by Mulan and Li Shang! For a craft we made Chinese lanterns and did some Mulan coloring pages. It was a fun and pretty easy night to arrange, next up is Finding Nemo/The Little Mermaid!
