Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

[MiniMelissa]

This past weekend my family had our Disney Family Fun Day and this time it was Pirates of the Caribbean. I hadn't seen this movie since my son was about 6 or 7 so it has been about 10 years (wow!!). Most of my family hadn't seen it either so we were all in for a treat.

This time around we decided to dress like pirates -- we looked a little crazy walking to my mom's, but it was fun!


We had "Fish and Chips" for our movie snack


For our meal we enjoyed a pirates bounty of Pirates Teeth, Pirate Ship Pizza, Pirates Brew, Caribbean Coleslaw, Fruit Swords...

... and Pirate Ship Cake -- complete with gummy bear pirates, Rolo cannons, Whopper cannonballs, Rootbeer Barrel kegs, someone walking the plank, and our peg leg captain!


After our meal we had the boys do a treasure hunt with 10 clues that were used to create a map and the last clue. They had a lot of fun finding the treasure chest full of candy!


We always have so much fun doing these Disney Days! I am so glad that I found this board and have gleaned so much inspiration from everyone's movie nights!

We are going to do something on Sunday to celebrate Cingo de Mayo. I was thinking Three Caballeros but I don't have movie so I hope the library does. I have never seen it before. If we can't find that we can always do Beverly Hills Chiuahau as we have all of those movies (my dd loves dog movies). Is there any other Disney movie that would fit this theme?

I love the cake, too.

Up next we did Lady & the Tramp.


Someone grabbed a cupcake before I got my pictureand as usual DS was hiding behind the bottle, another sneak shot I was trying.

Next up is Pocahantas...

I had soaked some pinto beans over night and after putting my DD10 on the school bus I rinsed them and put them in the crockpot with some smoked turkey wings and a little seasoning. On tv I heard it was Earth Day so said What the heck, let's knock Pocahontas off the list. It was a weekday so I tried to keep it simple and have it all complete by 6 pm. Here's what it turned out to be...

We ate on my Disney Dinnerwear.


They made Indian hats & watched the movie. DS loved those Pilgrim hat cookie things. He actually stole one while I was setting up.

Now for our 100 Days Until WDW Celebration!!!!

 

[dsnycrzy]

As I mentioned, we are at our 100 day celebration date.I'm all set up, I put the cake in the oven and we have a 2hr power outage!!!! So once it came back on, I was working in overdrive. Here's how it turned out...

I hung this on the tv!!!

[Deffenm]

We played games- keep the balloon up, ring toss, jump through the ring of fire, pin the feather on dumbo, some little activity books, phew!

Dsnycrzy - your nights are all great as always! The photo of you guys on the tightrope was so cute! And those Radcliffe hats were perfect!

This is one my favorites and its my husband favorite princess except for Merida-the fighting and the war might have something to do with that

The Menu:
Mushu's Spicy Soup (incredible recipe with so many veggies and my kids loved it!
Fried Rice
Sweet Rice (Rice Krispie Treats)
Wontons(which I've never had, nor do I know how to work with...I used crescent rolls with chocolate chips folded inside)
Tea

We made paper fans in lovely Asian prints with scrapbook paper and I gave the girls a lesson in holding and using fans. We also made the last set of Mickey Mouse heads to use for our countdown-only 36 days left!

After watching the movie we looked up every picture and blog post we could find about the China Pavilion at EPCOT.

Hi ladies

I'm doing winnie the pooh this week and found some great ideas for crafts and activities but I'm having trouble with food

what would you suggest for the main food item
sides are easy for rabbits veggies
and curly fries I was thinking for Tiggers tail
but I'm stuck on a main food idea? oh for picky eaters too

Thanks!

Oh I'll take dessert ideas too I'm thinking of doing a honey cake but not sure if my girls will like it

For dessert, maybe a pink cake or cupcakes with Piglet's stripes.

Another entree idea would be pigs in blankets.
