Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

We just did The Incredibles last night. Dinner was Super "Hero" sandwiches, Dash fast fries, Elastigirl's pasta salad and for dessert Frozone's frozen treats. Our craft was coloring pages and we made super hero masks. The kids had lots of fun.

Here are the pictures from our Snow White Movie Night.

My daughter just received this Snow White costume a week earlier for her birthday, so that worked out perfectly for her to wear it for our movie night. She was super excited to get to dress as Snow White. I had my son wear a prince costume we had in their dress up clothes.

The Food:

The Menu:
Grumpy's Roast Goose (a roaster chicken)
Sleepy's Sliced Potatoes
Bashful's Baked Buns
Snow White's Green Beans Delight
Wild Berries (raspberries and strawberries)
Poison Apple Pie (cherry pie)
Magic Potion (dyed 7-Up)

The Table:
I found a great Disney Princess Party Decoration book on clearance at Target. I used the pieces with Snow White, the table runner, castle, placecards, flowers, butterflies, and gems from it. It worked out great and was much cheaper than printing things off my computer like I usually do.

(Snow White characters borrowed from my mom.)

(Used napkin ring from party set.)

More to come in next post...

After dinner and watching the movie we moved onto games and activities.

Snow White Puzzle

Poison Apple Toss Game

Gem/Diamond Hunt (We hid the 3D paper gems around the living room and each family member was assigned a color and raced to find theirs first. We played this several times!)

Snow White's Dust Bunny Game - We used the felt duster I made (found on Disney.go.com) and dusted the dust bunnies (gray pom-poms) across the floor and saw who could clean them up the fastest.

Dwarves Mining Game - I hid plastic gems/diamonds in our rice box and the kids had to hunt/mine for the gems.

We also played Snow White's Cleaning charades. We would each pick a cleaning chore and act it out and have the others guess.

We had another great movie night and are looking forward to the next one. It will probably be either Indiana Jones or a Mickey party to reveal our Disney trip to the kids!!!

Our Tangled movie night. This was our first... and SO hard. I'd only seen the movie once when I planned it! LOL So much fun though and the kids LOVED it.

Centerpiece. From http://family.go.com/disney/disney-tangled-crafts-recipes-photo-gallery-pg/view-all/ It was actually pretty easy to make and the best part, I had everything on hand expect the yarn!



Dinner. Angel HAIR pasta, BRAIDED bread and Pascal's peppers. Mostly green, some red. And, of course, everything HAD to be served in frying pans.



Someone was hungry. lol



Eating!



You can see a couple of out lanterns there too. I got the idea for those family.com too.

DS(5), exicted about the movie!



Dessert! Boats on water. Just like Flynn & Rapunzel's. Well, yummier. Courtesy http://www.supermommoments.com



Uh-oh! Wanted posters! They never get my nose right!



Coloring 3D Pascal's. Courtesy http://family.go.com/disney/disney-tangled-crafts-recipes-photo-gallery-pg/view-all again.



Movie snacks! Err, I mean, Pub Snacks.



Loading up before the movie starts.



Hey, there's something on your shoulder!



DD(2) too busy eating that unopened Hershey's Kiss to notice.



And finally, their lanterns and our lanterns. *swoon*



Note the braid on top of the tv.

This was so fun. Hard to do on a Tuesday though.. may be moving our movie nights to the weekends. lol

Next week... CARS!

Great Tangled night! We were going to do ours tonight but my MIL decided to come for a visit this weekend so the kids wanted to wait to have it with her here. I see we have been visiting alot of the same sitesfor ideas, lol, I have many of the same plans for our night

 

[Kari-B]

Your Tangled movie night looks great! Good job!

 

[Becc1]

Last night we did a Tangled movie night. The kids had been looking forward to this one all week. We started the day off early with making some paper lanterns for decorations, these came out really cute, the pictures don't do them justice. While I was prepping dinner the kids colored Flynn Wanted posters, Snuggly Duckling coasters and a 3D Pascal. For starters we had brie cheese and bread (like the baquette and cheese Flynn and Rapunzel have). We then moved onto Rapunzel's favorite hazelnut soup. I got the recipe from here http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-recipes/recipe-953126-rapunzels-squash-and-hazelnut-soup-t/ Let me just say that it was a huge disappointment, I had such high hopes and it took quite some time for me to prepare and for me and my DH it fell flat. And when I say it fell flat I mean it was gross, maybe I did something wrong but it was not even edible to me. My kind MIL actually said she liked it and ate some and I felt really bad for her, lol. Done with that diaster we wandered over to the Snuggly Duckling and sat down for the main course, Pascal's picatta (chicken picatta), Rapunzel's angel Hair pasta, Flynn's chicken fingers (for my picky eaters) and orange biscuit braids. The meal was delicious and for dessert we had berry jello with orange sliced boats and Pascal inspired cupcakes. After dinner all sat down and enjoyed the movie.

I love this thread! In the mist of planning a surprise Christmas trip for my family I realized that ds#2 does not have the Disney character experiences that my tow older children had...guess being an OOPS child (8 years difference from my oldest) he just did not get the vidoe watching. So we started a dinner and a movie night so he could play catch in with Disney characters! Our spin is a little different, my two oldest are really out the craft/project age so instead they are helping make the dinners and we are having Dinner and a Movie night. This has been such a hit they do not even want to go OUT to dinner on the weekends!

Here are links to our first 3 nights:

My DS has been asking to do family Disney nights again. We took ideas from here with Cars and we might have done 1 more (Incredibles, I think). Work got int he way of being able to do it again...but he wants to do Peter Pan...so I am so glad i remembered this thread. Thank you for keeping the thread alive.

 

[MissMickee]

It was Cars night! SO fun!! Here are the pics...

Our menu...



The "file" version, 'cause you can't really see it from the photo.

Dinner table. Back before DD was born, DS's toy room had a "transporation" theme so I already had the tin signs. The table runner is a black table cloth that I added yellow lines to. We used it later with our balloon cars.



Drinks.



File, if you want to use them...

I got the logo for Fillmore's (and a couple more below) here... http://www.sowonderfulsomarvelous.com/2010/04/disney-cars-birthday-party.html ... just want to give credit where credit's due.

Body Art station.



Sportin' their tats and bling. I got the rubber bracelets at our local party store for a $1 each.



Dessert. The strawberries are supposed to be McQueen's tongue, but I couldn't figure out how to attach them, so they're just sitting in front of the "car". lol



Uh-oh!! McQueen blew a tire!



Balloon Racers. I got these at Toys R Us, in the party section, for $2 each. They were a HUGE hit! Even with Dad. LOL



They didn't go very straight. lol







Prizes for the winner(s).



Pit Stop. Movie snacks.







Everyone had a BLAST! Next week... Lilo & Stitch! I'm so excited! I Lilo & Stitch.

MissMickee that looks like such a fun Cars night! Looking forward to your Lilo and Stitch night!

Dinner & a Movie Night
April 8, 2011
Mary Poppins

​

Thank goodness for the public library. All of my movies are on VCR...and we do not have a VCR where we watch television as a family anymore....free rentals!

I loved Mary Poppins when I was a child. I remember my mother telling us how the old woman who feeds the birds looked just like my great grandmother Abbie, so the movie holds special meaning. Julie Andrews has to be one of my most favorite actresses...I got the pleasure to meet her a few years ago (and her daughter) at a reading conference where she was the keynote speaker and signed her new book. What a sweet woman she is! I remember this summer at Epcot seeing her in her pretty white dress and thinking...she is as beautiful as I thought growing up.

Activity: Chalk Drawings, looking at pictures of the UK in Epcot, GF resort and 1900 Park Fare and watching some Youtube videos of the British Invasion (Boo already thinks we will need to see ALL their shows...each one is a different era of the Beatles...he is my fan).

The dogs had to get in the act...

Menu:
*Homemade Fish and Chips...my kids who do not care of fried fish whoofed these down...I have to admit they were pretty yummy and I am amazed that I made these (do not get the idea we eat a lot of fried foods...2 weeks in a row for us is rare)

*Cranberry Scones..Ab made this…yummy

*GF Strawberry Soup...WOW, I can't wait to have the real stuff next Christmas. Ab did a great job with this recipe too! (Boo had 2 bowls of it)

The Cars night is fabulous!!!

We had a great Lilo & Stitch night. We watched the movie first, b/c DD3 had not seen it. I knew she would love it! Afterwards, she changed into her Hawaiian dress and we put up decorations.

We had chicken, sweet potato fries, fresh pineapple, and brownies. We did the limbo outside while we grilled and colored some pages after dinner.

It was low-key, because we already had the decorations, but fun because DD3 had not seen the movie and the rest of us hadn't seen it in years. I can't believe DS12 and DS11 sat through the whole thing. I wasn't expecting that. We all watched it though and it was great! DD3 said, "Mommy, I'm Lilo, so you have to be Stitch!" Yuck!

 

[MissMickee]

DD had her 3rd birthday this weekend. She had a Tinkerbell theme.

When guest arrived, they saw our "dress up" station. I make fariy wings and wands for the girls and Peter Pan hats and (felt) "knives" for the boys. Plus there was glitter "pixie dust" to sprinkle on them.





I got the ideas for these here... http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2009/10/peter-pan-costume.html

Her cake. I was actually surprised how quickly her cake went together. Of course, I've been planning my attack on it for months.


Everyone had Pixie Punch to drink... Toadstool stand idea, courtesy of our very own Kari-B!!

Sami's birthday party, part 2

The food table. I went with a woodland sort of theme for the food.


The banners over the table were made on my new Cricut! DH got it for me for Valentine's Day and the poor thing's been working overtime. lol There were quotes on the ends of the banners. "The first time a baby laughs, a fairy's life takes flight", "all it takes is faith, trust and a little bit of pixie dust", "think of the happiest things, it's the same as having wings", and "think of a wonderful thought, any happy little thought".

For food we had... peanut butter bumble bees, ants on a log....


Caprese toadstools, Rosetta's garden cups...


Butterfly shaped sandwiches...


Fawn's squirrel snacks (acorns), Iridessa's sunshine (lemon) cookies...


Snail cookies...
