Dinner and a Movie Night with one of my all time Disney favs...Robin Hood (and I know if you have watched this movie you said Robin Hood like Prince John). My sister and I have loved this movie since...FOREVER and was so excited when the girls watched it and fell in love with it too. I recall my first time at Disney and how I was excited to see Maid Marian, even at age 12! Our Feast included:
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day!!! AHHH - its the weekend! Made it thru the first two weeks of school. What a great day to have a Mickey Mouse Breakfast! We had Mickey Pancakes, Pluto's Bacon Strips and Minnie Mimosas (the real things for the hubs and I and OJ/Sprite for the kiddos). Great way to start our busy day!
Its not something I really want to think about but it's a must to discuss...what if we get separated. Although this Queen Bee is very on protective and attentive in large crowds... being in a large, magical place like Disney its best to be safe rather than sorry later. The bees and I talked about if they were to get separated from us, they need to look for a female cast member and tell them you need help in finding your parents. Both of the girls know my husband and I's full names, my oldest bee knows both of our cells. I know there is a lot of tracking that can be done with the Magic Bands - so I would hope they would be able to use that to help in need.
They also got a special Minnnie Mouse outfit to wear on the trip! I can't recall where I found this next idea at...most likely Pinterest. Its a DIY activity book for kids while flying (would also work for road trips). Just take a three ring binder, added some paper, coloring/activity pages (found randomly online, see below for the ones I found), stickers and tadaa! I found the following activity and coloring pages here:The Frozen and Princess Packs are available at Over the Big Moon. (She has some other cool pre-K packs too!!). I also made these little activity containers for while we are in Disney. My girls like to go go go, so I made several of these for when we go out to eat and need to wait for our food or if we need to take a rest. I saved my Crystal Light containers, printed off 1/2 sheets of coloring pages (http://www.colouring-page.org/), added a pack of crayons to each and in some of them I added s sheet or two of stickers.
Today is another Disney Dinner and a Movie night featuring Wreck it Ralph. And since it was Labor Day, we had to have something cooked on the grill! Here is our complete menu:
Today starts our official count down to Disney and is our first Disney Dinner and a Movie night. I had so much fun planning these, I can't wait to share them. Tonight our dinner was Toy Story themed and we just started watching Toy Story 2!
Here was our menu for tonight:
I think it goes without saying that I knew the girls would be over joyed when we told them we were going to Disney...but to add to the fun I decided to do a big reveal and a countdown. Throughout the summer I have been stocking up on goodies for our trip (the $1 store, 5 Below and Michael's and I have become good friends)! I have read plenty on things to buy before you go...here are some of the goodies I purchased to take along with us:
The girls have been working hard at earning their Disney Dollars. To announce the trip I found backpacks with their favorite princesses (which they will use for their carry ons) and had gotten them each a mini doll cake (the cakes were made by Shannon's Creations) and note from their favorite princess. Big Bee's note was from Ariel and Little Bee's note was from Elsa (you will see this theme of their princess carried for the rest of our countdown!). They are both excited!!! To help us countdown I found a cute idea for a paper chain countdown that I couldn't pass up from Grey Luster Girl. Must be for my LOVE of Mickey Mouse. On the inside of mine I placed an activity for the day, there were a few days were the girls got a small gift so i marked those as "Disney Gift". More of our countdown to come! DISNEY OR BUST!
