I'm not sure Bambi plays a huge roll at Disney World, but my 4 year old REALLY wanted to borrow the movie from the library, so I went with it.
At first I was stumped on a menu. Deer. Rabbits. Skunks. Yeah, not coming up with much! Then I thought "DUH, they all eat plants. Like me. Focus on that!" So I came up with the following for our Bambi movie night:

To get the kids excited for our trip, we thought that we'd watch some classic Disney flicks. And me being, well... me, decided that I'd come up with fun dinners to match the theme of the movies!
My 4 year old daughter went with me to the library and picked out the first batch. Shockingly- NO PRINCESS MOVIES. Yet. Her #1 choice- Lady and the Tramp. Now I know there really isn't a whole lot dedicated to this movie in Disney World, but it's a fun classic and easy to plan a dinner around, so I went with it. THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!
It's no secret.
I am pretty much an overgrown child. I love to have fun. Cut food into silly shapes. Create themes for everything. Think outside of the box. So when my husband and I decided that this fall would be the perfect time to take the kids back to Disney, I knew that I wanted to have fun with it! Our last trip was 3 years ago. The kids were quite a bit younger (1 1/2, 3, and 5). We managed to keep it a secret until we were boarding the bus to the resort. It was awesome, but pretty stressful! I had to pack and prepare at night after they went to bed and I feel like we missed out on a lot of excitement because they were kind of blindsided. Now that they are a little bit older (4, 6, and will just have turned 9) we want to involve them in the planning more. They have their own personal favorites. We want to educate them on the Disney classics. And honestly, I am so excited about this trip I may have exploded if I kept it in much longer! We set up a simple scavenger hunt with 8 Disney themed clues. At each location was an envelope with a word. Once they collected all 8 envelopes, they put the message together to reveal our secret. |
