Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

Does anyone have ideas for a "Planes" theme night to coincide with the movie release? Thinking of catching a matinee then doing dinner and activities after. It's hard without seeing the movie first.

That is hard without seeing the movie but how about plane trays to serve the food like you used to get on a flight.

You can probably find inexpensive plane kits at the craft store, or you can make paper airplanes or planes out of Popsicle sticks.

I started a thread about this but thought I would also ask here.

How about a Disney Villain-theme night?!?! I would love to do this at Halloween time. All I have for now is Captain Hook's chicken planks and the Evil Queen's apple cupcakes with Poison to drink.

Ideas please!!! We start our Disney Dinners on Sept 4th (first day of school) and they will go weekly until December 10th, when we leave for Disney.

Tonight is our next-to-last movie night before our trip! Tonight it was The Incredibles, one of DS's favorite movies.

Menu:

Decorations:

Activity:

Dinner:

"Hero" subs, Dash's Fast Food Fries, Violet's Disappearing Fruit Salad, and Frozone's Root Beer Floats

The kids decided to make our (2012) planning DVD our last movie night. I wish I had ordered a 2013 version, but I didn't think I had enough time. That movie night will be the night before we leave!

We had our first theme dinner last night. I went with Princess and the Frog at my DD's request....It was a bit of a challenge to theme it,
The girl at my local craft store didn't even know what Mardi Gras beads were
Lucky we had a few from our time in POFQ, everything else I just did purple and a bit of green thrown in..
I will post photo's tonight..

Have I said how much I love this thread

NHDisneylover, LOVE these ideas! You and your kids are very creative! My goal is to write all of these great ideas onto 4x6 cards and put them into a file box so I can pull one out whenever we need a Disney pick-me-up!

Just to add, I think it would be fun to make baklava for "Aladdin" night! /QUOTE]

Great Idea! I would have never thought of using index cards! just bought some for cheep with the back to school sale!

Thanks again for the great idea

Anyone doing any of the themes lately?

We did Pinochio, but I didn't do it great. We just did Italian food and dessert, made some puppets and watched the movie. The kids were disappointed after all the fun with Peter Pan and Snow White! So, I need to make up for it tomorrow with Finding Nemo.

We are doing fish sticks...(dd4 said we are in the Fish are food, not friends club! ), mac -n cheese with goldfish sprinked on top, decorating the tv room with fish, jellyfish ect. making paper plate dorys. I as thinking of getting a smalle stuffed nemo at disney store and play Find the Nemo! They would like that!

Walmart has some Goldfish Mac and Cheese! The noodles are actual fish. My Dh and I ate a whole box of it. It was actually really good!

Yesterday we had our Peter Pan theme day/night. I had to switch our dinner to lunch because of Christian's baseball game being switched around but it all worked out. Decor was mostly some Peter Pan toys and books of the kids along with a few printouts and Emily had fun placing some skull and crossbones cutouts on the walls all over the downstairs. The kids started off with watching the movie, movie snacks were popcorn and fairy wands (chocolate covered pretzel rods). I snuck out towards the end to get lunch ready which was french bread pirate ships and fruit kabob swords. After lunch the kids did some crafts, they painted treasure chests and colored swords. We then took a break and headed over to Christian's baseball game, I took along some Peter Pan coloring pages for them to do while there. After the game we came home, had crocodile cupcakes with cannonballs (chocolate ice cream balls covered in sprinkles or smashed oreo cookies) and we played the Peter Pan game I printed out from online.

Another way to make cannonballs would be to make peanutbutter balls (buckeye balls) and then rolling them in crushed cookies

Here are some photo's from our first theme night last week. It was Princess and The Frog theme (requested by DD). The family thought I was crazy and weren't into it to begin with, but they were really into it on the night and keep asking what the next theme will be.. It was so much fun, planning etc. The only problem I had was finding theme items for it. I ended up using the Mardi Gras beads I kept from our trip to Port Orleans French Quarter and I made up some quick lily pad place mats...All in all it was a fun dinner. DH is away this week, so our next theme dinner is going to be next week.

My DD who was NOT into this at all (she thought it was 'dorky' ) loved it so much she has been telling me every day what the next theme should be.

Thanks to everyone who previously posted ideas and pictures on here. The ideas and inspiration are amazing Can't wait to see more theme night dinners on here
