Our #DisneySide House Warming Party!

Our #DisneySide House Warming Party was this weekend!  We had so much fun!  I decorated up our new apartment with all the goodies that came in the kit from Disney.  Our table is a bit too small for the tablecloth so I folded it in half.  Then we made yummy cupcakes and used Mickey Mouse the cupcake papers.  We also made cookies with the cookie cutters, bought some finger foods at COSTCO like pizza bagels and mini egg rolls.  Topping it all off with chips and salsa and we had a full party spread for our guests!  I put out the cups, plates and napkins for use as well.

I inflated all the balloons, hung some of them and then spread the rest on the ground.  Simple but fun.  I also hung the decoration in the archway between our living room and dining area.  There's a step down and a railing there so it seemed natural to divide the space.  It looked great!






I continued the decorating theme with our own collection of Disney memorabilia.  Our plush Sven from Frozen took center stage near the table.  Since I used a Frozen theme for our punchbowl.com invitations, it only seemed fitting that our favorite reindeer be in attendance.  He wasn't the only plush figure there though.  Band leader Mickey, Pascal, the Fairy Godmother, and Cri-Kee were also part of the party for good measure.   As a final touch, we set the Apple TV to scroll thru our Walt Disney World vacation photos as a screensaver.

I put together 10 party favor packets with the Mickey/Minnie heart print, a Run Disney cheer card, bracelet, & window cling, a box of dried cranberries, a Mickey sticker and a Donald tattoo and a Muppet movie calendar postcard.  We ended up with 13 guests so some of the couples had to share packets.  But they gifts went over very well!!  The Mickey/Minnie heart poster was the clear favorite.

 After everyone had their fill of yummy treats, we played a bit of Disney trivia and had a long group discussion about what our favorite rides are!  Tim and I are in the process of decorating our bathroom in a Hollywood Tower Hotel theme, which was the inspiration for this turn of topics.  I love the theming of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror thrill ride, but don't like the actual thrills.  I'm much more of a Haunted Mansion type, personally.  Speaking of Haunted Mansion, whenever that new movie finally comes out, we might have to organize a group to go the NYC premier because we're all pretty excited for it!

I'm SO EXCITED about our trip to Disneyland Paris!  We'll be there in less than a month!!   So, obviously, there was a lot of chatter about that- what we plan to do there, where we're staying, how long we'll be in France, etc.  I can't wait to show my #DisneySide a la Francais!

The party lasted until about 1am but Lola did not.  Below is a picture of her crashed out on our Mickey Mouse throw blanket.  It was just too much excitement for our little Chihuahua.
