It's no secret that my family loves all things Disney, so when we were chosen to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration again this year, we were thrilled! I immediately started making a list of what we could do to make it one of the most fun Disney parties we have ever had.
We did receive a box of goodies to help us get going. Our theme was supposed to be villains, but we also stuck with the classic Mickey Mouse theme for some of our younger guests to enjoy. We decided not to go overboard on the eats, sticking with simple finger foods that would be easy to grab while playing games. We used a little Mickey Mouse Cookie Cutter to create some fun Mickey cheese shapes for mini ham and cheese sandwiches. We also served up some "Hot Diggity Dogs".
We used the villain place cards we were provided for inspiration too. Using some green sherbert and Sprite, the kids loved sipping on Ursula's Human Potion. It didn't cost them their voice, either!
Kids love snacks, and again, we wanted to keep it simple and as mess free as possible. We used the same Mickey cookie cutters to make some fun Rice Krispies Treats. We were provided a box of Duff Goldman, Tie-Dye, Premium Cake Mix. Sticking with the villains theme, we only used the green and purple dyes to make Ursula's Sea Snack cupcakes. We created Maleficent's staff with chocolate dipped pretzels topped with non perils.
What's a party without fun activities and games? The kids had a blast playing Pin the Smile on Mickey.
They raced to see who could complete the Disney Villain's Puzzle the fastest.
The girls did a little villain inspired nail art.
Games like Disney Bingo, Word Search and Match-Up were a hit among all ages.
Feel free to save a copy of these games for your own Disney Side @Home Celebration!
The winners were provided small door prizes. Pencils and these fun Cinderella buttons were well received.
You don't need to invest a lot of time or money into planning a Disney Side @Home Celebration. Keeping it simple and providing fun Disney themed food and games will have every guest entertained for hours!

Are you a Disney fan? What kind of treats and games would you have at your Disney Side @Home Celebration?
Special thanks to Disney Parks and Mom Select for helping us host a fabulous Disney Side Home Celebration.
Love the food and activity ideas here. It reminds me to use my cookie cutters with the rice krispy treats--maybe a shamrock would be good for my next batch. Beautiful Cinderella buttons here too.
ReplyDeleteWe are always looking for new things to do with our shamrock cutters!
DeleteYou had a fun party. It was more fun than ours LOL. I still need to post about mine....I am soooo behind.
ReplyDeletesuch true delight! How much time did it take to organize?
ReplyDeleteCINDERELLA starts this week here in the cinemas
I think I only had about 3 hours into putting everything together. The girls helped, so that cut down on time it took me to get it all together. It's always fun when kids can pitch in. My nephew actually did the Mickey ham and cheese cut outs before everyone arrived. The Krispies, cupcakes and pretzel sticks can be made the day before. The rest was just kind or fly by the seat of our pants on what we were going to do/play at any given time. Sometimes spontaneity makes for the best parties.
DeleteAnything Disney is most times a hit indeed. I found goofy in the word search. Got one haha
ReplyDeleteThat's because you are Goofy Pat. It doesn't surprise me you found that one first ;)
Deletehahahahahhaa.... you two are funny. But Pat.... you are so right. Anything Disney is usually a HIT.
DeleteThat's clever how you cut up that meat and cheese on the tray.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun night!
I'm not a huge Disney fan. I lost respect for them when they came out with sequels that they didn't even put in the theaters. There's more to it that gets me going. They did it for the money, and not the artistic passion. I do like some of their movies. My oldest sister has bugged me for years to go to Disney World, or maybe it's Disneyland on a group adventure. No thanks. The boys would like it, but I'd rather go camping.
I get the hype though. They have done so much! I did really like the Toy Story series. That made me like them a little more.
Tell your sister I will go with her any time! We adore the Toy Story movies too. I think a lot of people do, because it is always packed in the Toy Story section of the park. We waited forever to meet Buzz and Woody!
DeleteYou and your girls really know how to show your Disney Side. I like the rice crispy Mickey's.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is absolutely adorable! I love all the cute Disney ideas, even the ear shaped cheese!
ReplyDeleteThese parties sound like so much fun to prepare and to be a part of. It makes me wish I had someone to give a Disney side party.
ReplyDeleteI am a huuugeee Disney fun...that looks like an awesome party to meee...love the maleficent stuff :)..I would love to have the Disney side party as well :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all really great ideas. I love the Mickey Rice Krispy treats and Maleficent's Staff.
ReplyDeleteEvery one looked like they had a great time at the party and I am so loving all the snacks that you had.
ReplyDeleteThat is a ridiculously cute party. I love all things Disney, except the vitamins because they are junk, but you know what I mean..lol Love this idea, the little cheese and meat Mickey Mouse is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so fun! We are huge Disney fans and did the pre-school playdate this year. I bet everyone had a blast! Love the creative use of cookie cutters too. :)

ReplyDeleteAwesome party. Love the mickey ham and cheese. So cute.
ReplyDeleteA nod to Maleficent. She's my favorite bad guy...or is that bad girl. Except she's not really all that bad in the long run, which is probably why I like her. :) Love everything, especially your ham and cheese cut outs, those are cute for making sandwiches. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Disney, this looks like a fantastic party! Especially the food! Those cupcakes look so cool with the green swirl running through them and the Maleficent's staff is too cute.
ReplyDeleteHuge fan, of course, and I probably would love to play "Guess this movie"
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had a great time. I love all the treats and the decorations.
