Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

We did our first family dinner/movie tonight, my girls were thrilled! Very simple, most of the ideas came from here:
Activities:
- the girls decorated the menu using Ariel themed stickers and their crayons
- played "go fish!"
- listened to Ariel music, yes, we all sang along!
- "swam" in the bathtub with their bathing suits and pool toys

Dinner:
Mac and cheese seashells, Ursula's (hot dog octopus) and "seaweed" spinach.
"Under the sea tea"- blue koolaid
Dessert:
Swedish fish!

Watched the movie on our beach towels! Great night, memorable way to ring in our new year!
 
Here are some ideas I found for Frozen:

I'm still not sure what we will do for food, but I love the snow globe idea. I have seen that done at school and it is so cute! We may also pin the nose on the snowman, and make snowflakes. I found this link on Pinterest with different snowflake ideas: http://inspirationforhome.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-craft-how-to-make-paper.html

My kids may be the only kids in America that don't want to see this movie, but I am going to let them each invite a friend, and hopefully once they get there they will love it. Tomorrow marks 100 days until our cruise!

I like the Hot Cocoa idea. The must haves for food from this movie are Sandwiches, chocolate and carrots. The Sandwiches are referenced in a song by Anna and Hans as "We always finish each others Sandwiches" so you could do a musical meal, where where every so often you get up and change seats, thereby getting each others plates! And Sven and Kristof always share the carrots, so Sven's carrot sticks are a must. And there is a line by Anna that she wants to stuff her face with chocolates.

There are also cute rock trolls in the movie. I wonder if you could make some kind of roll with a green compound butter on top as the moss and call them rock trolls? They could be used to make the sandwiches? Just some thoughts.
 

I think I'm going to do snowman pizzas (3 individual sized pizzas decorated as a snowman), carrots with Ranch dip, and maybe frozen yogurt for dessert. I also have some dipping chocolate and marshmallows left over from Christmas, so we could make those for hot chocolate.
 
We just did a planes night. Kiddos surprised dad. We had "wings", Dusty's crops (veggies and fruit) , churro a made from crescent rolls! My 13 year old made plane tickets for everyone and in flight menus on the computer. So fun can not wait to try this again, I love all of you ideas. Thanks all!
 
So for June trip we are doing around the parks nights. So all the Epcot countries, future world Hollywood studios night, one for animal kingdom, and then for each land in magic kingdom.
We are picking a movie from each area then basing the food off the movie and park.

For one of the nights we wanted to do hoop dee doo revue because we will be going to it for the first time this trip.
If anyone has movie suggestion that would be greatly appreciated! I know for food I'm doing the shows menu.
Thanks!

love this idea might have to borrow but instead of Hoop dee doo revue do something for the water parks as we are doing one for the first time this trip and something for the flower and garden festival
 
I've came up with some great ideas from this thread. Thank you!!

My kids want to have a breakfast with Mickey pancakes, so I'm looking for some ideas of other foods to have with that???

And I need a dessert idea for a Muppets night.

Thanks!!
 
I made Mickey pancakes this past Saturday. I just served bacon with it. You can make it in smiles. I think for a breakfast, they'd be happy with just the pancakes, maybe some eggs and bacon/sausage.

The nice thing about Mickey pancakes is, you don't even need a form to do them. Just three dollups from a small measuring cup and you have your pancake. I did tiny silver dollar sized ones for my toddler and bigger Mickeys for me and DH.

You could put either fruit or chocolate chips into the pancake as well and make a face using those. Blueberries work well for that.
 
Movie - 101 Dalmatians

Menu - Any suggestions for dinner anyone???
Dessert could be "Puppy chow" (crispix cereal, peanut butter,
chocolate, and powdered sugar)

Activities - Find the Dalmatian spot! (Make 10 black dalmatian spots and hide
them around the house)
Adopt a virtual pet together as a family (adoptme.com)


Corn dogs or Hot Dogs

pepperoni Pizza ("Pizza with Spots")
 
I have found so many great ideas from this thread and it has sparked my own ideas as well. Thanks to everyone that has posted. We have done a few movies and I am going to work on posting the ideas on here.
 
Brave Movie Night

Food:

Merida's curly hair pasta (rotini) and curly hair fries, triplets bear cakes, blue wisp cotton candy and witches brew (green Hawaiian Punch).

Activities:

Coloring page, family crest craft, archery craft (target and arrows) and brave playset craft.

I am knew to the forum so I don't know how to post pictures. I will add them when I figure that out.
 
I have seen cute paw print cupcakes on Pinterest using a peppermint pattie or mini Oreo for the middle of the paw and chocolate chips or m&ms for the top of the paws. Would work well for 101 Dalmations and they look easy to make too.
 
Dumbo Movie Night

Food:
Circus Dogs (hotdogs), Dumbo Can Fly Fries, hot pretzels, circus peanuts (not a favorite for my four year old but my husband ate them all), animal cracker snack mix (popcorn, animal crackers and m&ms) and cotton candy

Activity:
Coloring Page
Clown Craft
Cotton Candy Craft
Elephant Craft

Working on my ten posts so I can post pictures popcorn::
 
Fox and the Hound Movie Night

Food:
Hound Dog Hot Dogs, Dog Bone Breadsticks, Corn Feed and Blue Jello Water Bowls

Activity:
Coloring Page
Fox Craft

It was tough to come up with ideas for this one because I hadn't seen the movie in over ten years. The movie was good but a little stressful for my four year old. The hunting was hard for her to watch and it did lead to a few tears.
 
Does anyone have any Oliver and Company ideas? I have come up with a few: hotdogs, apples (New York is the big apple), goldfish since oliver is a cat. This is the first movie I remember being excited to see in the theater when I was little and I can't wait to share it with my little girl.
