Post family Disney-theme night ideas HERE!

Too funny, Tia! I think we were posting at the same time. Glad I could help! On a side note: You NEED to see the movie! It's awesome! :thumbsup2

I agree! I love even just the bits and pieces I've seen and the short Happily Ever after is so cute. DD9 went through a long stage of refusing to watch most animated movies and particularly princess ones in fear that there would be scary parts. She's finally made it past that and really wants to see it now. She got it for Easter so I'm more than ready to finally watch it!
 
Yay, search is back! Now I'm armed with my ideas and ready to go for Friday. I'll try to remember to take pictures. Of course, right after I decided to do Tangled we started on some Africa stuff for schoolwork so I guess I should really do Lion King or something, but oh well. We'll do that when we get to the Camp Minnie-Mickey themed section of our massive WDW unit study. DD9 has been dying to see Tangled so I really want to do it first.

I will try to pull off a Lady and the Tramp night for my kids and Grandkids this weekend!! Wish me luck!! We go back to Disney in July and I am already trying to plan one a week!! THANK YOU!!! BLESS YOU!!! :thanks:
 
I am so glad someone told me about this thread! Great ideas everyone!! :thumbsup2 We are going back to DW in Feb. 2013 and I am planning a Disney theme night each month leading up to the trip. :cool1:
 
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the muppets fruit platter!!!!

Our next theme night is Aladdin...well, either Aladdin or Black Cauldron. I've never seen The Black Cauldron so I'm not exactly sure how I'd theme that. I'm hoping to get things started tomorrow and it should be happening within the next few days!

DS is obsessed with Black Cauldron, he loves it! We are going to do it eventually and have the crock pot be the cauldron :)

Oooh that's good! I was thinking about going to a party store to buy some sort of cauldron but then I couldn't think of anything great to put in it, but the crock pot would be great and kill two birds with one stone! Thanks for that idea, if you don't mind me using it of course!
 
We had a Chef Mickey's party last Saturday evening. It wasn't celebrating anything - just getting some of the cousins together for some Disney fun.

My granddaughters. (A new granddaughter will join our Disney madness in September. :cutie:)

I bought plain white aprons and hats, and my daughter (Brooklynnsmommy on DIS) put the iron-on transfers on.

After dinner, we went into the backyard to play 9 holes of Goofy's Garden Golf. I failed to get a picture of the sign. :(

Hole 1.

'Corny' jokes were all over the course. The kids didn't get them all, but the grown-ups got a chuckle, and there was some rolling of the eyes. ;)

We did our first of, probably, 8 movie nights last night. We're leaving in 8 or 9 weeks (haven't settled on an exact date yet).

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we did the Three Caballeros. I've NEVER seen this movie. I've had it forever, (seriously, my copy is on VHS) and still never seen it. LOL! :lmao: I watched it while the kids were in school so I could do a little more than just basic mexican food. I added Burrito, our *winged* pin the tail on the donkey after watching it. I was going to make some sort of Pablo penguin snack but decided we had more than enough snacks.

Dinner was mini beef tacos, chicken taquitos and a Mexican flag of green peppers, cheese and watermelon. To drink I made mock margaritas. They were gross. :rotfl2: Not all that yummy looking stuff on Pinterst is *acutally* yummy.

I made the fans over the table out of scrapbooking paper and the little bit of runner on the table we left over from DDs 3rd Dora birthday party. I made the flowers from some tissue paper.

They may have tasted gross, but at least they looked cool. The glasses were also left overs from DDs party. I had made green jell-o in them for her birthday party... kinda wishing I'd done that again. LOL!!

And, just so you know, this is the recipe I used. Blech!

For dessert and snacks we had chips and salsa (for Dad), cookie "chips" and fruit dip "gaucamole", sombrero cookies, hot (and not-so-hot) tamales and Mexican wedding cookies. The banner is more tissue paper.

The sombrero cookies are from here.

The "chips" and "guacamole" are from here.

Mexican wedding cookies (YUM!!!) are from here.

While they watched the movie, DD and DS colored the tails for our Pin-the-Tail-on-the-(winged)-Donkey game. I picked the game up at Target and just added some scrapbooking paper wings.
