We’re going to Disney!!! ย As usual, I wanted to do a fun little announcement for the boys.
A Disney dinner and game night on the porch was the perfect way to get everyone excited.
I used my Mickey cookie cutter to make grilled cheese sammies. ย A crowd fave and easy to boot. ย Actually… hold that thought. ย It would have been easy except thatย my bread was WAY too small for my cookie cutter so I had to use multiple pieces of bread and put them together. ย Yeaaaahhhhh…. ย
I used my smaller Mickey cookie cutter on watermelon. ย First I cut slices and then I used the cookie cutter to get the Mickey heads. ย The extras just went into a bowl for lunches.
Dessert definitely stole the show!! ย I wanted a lot of little treats to get us through the game night. ย I had purchased the mini Mickey cheese crackers in Disney and I made the sweets:
Mickey Brownies
I had completely forgotten about my mini-Mickey waffler until bestie M sent me a link to one saying “something you might like”. ย I like it so much, in fact, that I OWN it. ย Ha! ย Now, since I was doing a dinner and not breakfast, I used it for brownies. ย SO easy and very festive. ย The trick is to mix your box of brownie batter as stated. ย Then stir in an extra egg. ย Cover the bottom half of the waffle iron with the batter and cook for 5 minutes. ย Oneย box made 12 Mickey brownies.
Mickey Rice Crispie Treats
I made them in a large baking pan so that they wouldn’t be too thick to cut through with the cookie cutter. ย Before pouring it in, I lined the pan in foil and sprayed. ย After pouring them in I pressed them down well with another piece of greased foil. ย One they had cooled, I pulled the whole thing out of the pan and cut with cookie cutters.
Mickey Pretzel Treats
I’ve made these so many times with various chocolates and candies. ย Line a baking sheet with foil and spread out a layer of butter snap pretzels. ย On each pretzel, place a white melting chocolate. ย Preheat oven to 170. ย Bake until chocolate is semi-melted. ย Mine took about 6 minutes. ย You want it melty, but still in its round shape. ย Working quickly, place one regular sized m&m and two mini m&m’s on each piece to make a Mickey head.
We have collected the Mickey straws on various Disney trips. ย In a few different restaurants you can add them on for $0.59.
I pulled out myย Happy Everything Plateย for the occasion with the DIY mini-attachment. ย It is painted with chalkboard paint and we use it to count down to our trips.
I’ve been looking high and low for a cute Mickey door hanger and was thrilled to find this one fromย Fort Sturgeon on etsy.
We had the best time playing our favorite games from our Disney collection!! ย All except for Disney Hedbanz were purchased in the park. ย When we go on longer trips we usually purchase a game at the beginning of our stay and then play it in the room during down times.
The rest of the pics speak for themselves. ย It was all fun and games, laughs and grins.
We do love our Disney celebrations. ย It’s so much fun to kick off the magic at home and then have something to look forward to all week!!!
