Destination Disney - Disney in Black

When I think BLACK and Disney... what comes to mind?

M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E

Who would have guessed it?  I'm thinking about Mickey Mouse?!  Never!  Err... always!  Getting the color black this week only gives me an excuse to talk about him too.  Well, him and Minnie and their lovely mousiness.  Is that a word?  *shrug*  Little (well, bigger than your average) black mice.  So, come along... join my jamboree... enjoy some photos of M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E.




And my favorite image of Mickey Mouse?  The one tattooed on my neck.  I designed it to include the initials of my husband and children.  *swoon*



Wasn't that fun?!  Why don't you join in on the discussion. 

Last week, I was thinking about RED
Be sure to check back next week and find out what DISNEY thing the color YELLOW makes me think of.

Disney Dinosaur Movie Night

This was our "biggest" movie night yet!  Here come the iguanodons!  Make room for the brachiosaurus!  Watch out for the carnotaurs!!  It's Dinosaur time!  

herbivores, carnivores and sweet-ivores, enjoy!


For the decor, I started with some dry wood that was down next to our wood stove.  I drilled some holes in them and filled the holes with ferns from our yard. I found some big rocks in our yard as well, which made great add-ons!  I love the broken one with moss growing on it!  I then fill in with the kids toy dinosaurs. Over the table I hung a couple meteors made out of scrap booking paper.


For dinner, we enjoyed pterodactyl (chicken) wings, dinosaur nuggets, meteorites (tater tots) and herbivore salad.





Our movie snacks included, dino dig snack mix (candy rocks and yogurt covered pretzels, because they look like dino bones!), Cocoa Puff treat volcanoes, deviled dino eggs, dino claws, fossil cookies and a dinosaur watermelon.







We washed all the yummy food down with Aladar's Water.  Of course.  If you'd like to print these labels for yourself, you can find them here.

craft time

I got the kids some dinosaur hats at the dollar store, so we finished off the "outfit" with tonight's craft.  Foam dino feet!  The inspiration for these came from this pin on Pinterest.  I cut holes in foam sheets for their feet to fit through, then tips for the toe nails to go on.  The toe nails were adhesive-backed white foam sheets, cut into triangles.  The only problem we had with them is that they wouldn't stay straight.  I think a strip of double sided tape that stuck to their socks would have helped.


For the rest of the night, it was a whole bunch of ROARING!!

Destination Disney - Disney in RED

When I think RED and Disney... what comes to mind?

Disney's Polynesian Resort

Maybe not the redest of reds, but red just the same.  The Great Ceremonial House and longhouses, that burnt red color.  The bedding in their rooms.  Even the carpeting, all show hints of red.  The Cast Members and characters in your dining experiences.  The tropical flowers.  Red, red and more red.  That said, it doesn't take much to make me think about Disney's Polynesian Resort.  It's my favorite.  Why not enjoy some of its red for yourself...

 
Carpet in the Hawaii Longhouse.  Note the green Hidden Mickey in the red leaf.
