Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

Just found this thread and thinking 'How cool!' Wish I'd found it years ago when my DD was younger and we were going to Disney every year. But, she and I are scheduled to go again in March for UCA Nationals, without dad for the first time. This might get her excited about the Disney piece of it and not just the cheerleading part of the trip. I'm more excited for Disney and less thrilled with the thought of 1000s of cheerleaders for days. Now to troll around the thread to find a few good movie ideas. I'm thinking I need to go with her favorites - Aristocats, Mary Poppins, Monsters Inc...
 
A little off topic, but we thought we'd do an Olympic theme night on Friday for the opening ceremony. We're going to have an all American cookout with burgers and dogs, and some competitions around the backyard swingset. Any other suggestions?

For your Olympic Disney movie night you could watch the Goofy Short - The Olympic Champ
We love those shorts here at our place! :goofy:
 
Our most recent night was The Great Mouse Detective. We had crumpets and the Cheddar Cheese Soup from Le Cellier, and we made a paper craft of Big Ben. It took forever to do but the kids enjoyed cutting it out and assembling it. Here is the recipe for the soup (my daughter says it's her new all time favourite soup recipe) and the link to the paper craft as well.

I thought we would do Hercules to tie in to the Olympics, but we are going out of town this weekend during the opening ceremonies. I have seen ideas on Pinterest or Family Fun for fruit tarts made in the colors of the Olympic rings, and of course Greek food is yummy!

I was planning to incorporate a Hercules night also for the Olympics, I have found lots of cute ideas on Pinterest as well!
 
We're doing an Olympics night on Friday, and we will be watching the Opening Ceremonies and perhaps doing a few Olympic events either in the living room or outside. We will be having English food, since the games are in London, so the plan is to have "Bangers and Mash" (hot dogs/sausages and mashed potatoes), with peas on the side, and an English Trifle for dessert. Maybe some sort of Olympic Punch for drinks, or something. DD might have a friend over, to share in the fun!

We only have a couple of weeks before our trip, so it looks like we'll have to cram in a bunch of quick movie nights!!!
 
I love the idea of doing Hercules to tie in the Olympics. We are stuck with Cars this weekend, but might have to do Hercules next the next weekend.
 
We've been having theme nights for the past year and a half. I've got so many pictures to share (I won't do it all at once) but finally figured out how post pictures.

Here is the Princess and the Frog theme night we had the Saturday before Fat Tuesday. We ordered a King Cake from Haydel's Bakery in New Orleans for the occasion.

In the background of the last picture, you can see our Disney countdown. We had three poster boards with 36 days on each (108 countdown) and behind each day there was a picture from a previous trip.
 
Haunted Mansion theme night:

We have a Mickey Head patio in our backyard so we watched the movie out there. Here is the picture from last year. I need to get an updated one but I wanted to wait until all of the grass was planted and it was green.

In preparation for our December trip, I am planning Epcot theme nights. I have the Mickey heads with the country flag printed & in an envelope for the kids to pick the week before so I can prepare for that country. I have the menu basically picked for each country along with a dessert. I want a Disney movie to go along with each country, as well. Some countries are deeming themselves difficult with a movie (ie. Norway, Japan, Italy).

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated for everything!! Your ideas may be better than mine :thumbsup2

Pinocchio for Italy...not sure about Norway or Japan. Mulan is China, right?

I love this! Italy could you do Lady & the Tramp for the spaghetti scene? Maybe a Princess movie for Norway because of Akershus? Not that it has anything to actually do with Norway, but if you can't think of anything else it might work. For Japan - Ponyo?

Ponyo for Japan is a great idea! That is such a sweet little movie, my kids loved it!
