This year, my family and I will be traveling\u00a0to one of our favorite vacation destinations;\u00a0Walt Disney World<\/a>!\u00a0I can see us now, standing in front of Cinderella\u2019s castle watching fireworks and eating mickey ice cream bars. We will be on the vacation of a lifetime making countless memories and I can\u2019t wait to soak up every minute of it.\u00a0To get\u00a0my kids\u00a0excited for our upcoming adventures, I like to have Disney Movie Nights, complete with decorations and dinner to match the theme. It brings a little Disney magic to our home and makes waiting for our dream vacation a little easier.<\/p>\n

One of my all-time favorite Disney movies is the Lion King<\/a>. I still get goose bumps whenever I hear the opening song and watch the animals come to meet the new baby Simba. So naturally one of our Disney Movie Nights involved showing the Lion King and transforming our house into the Pride Lands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had a lot of fun decorating for this movie night. Using streamers, card stock, and images from the Lion King made it feel like we were part of the movie too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blue streamers taped to the ceiling created the water fall. You gotta love streamers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to a streamer water fall, I made jungle vines from cardstock and\u00a0brown ribbon.\u00a0To make the leaves, simply print a leaf template, trace it onto colored cardstock, cut it, and bam! You have a leaf.\u00a0I also taped the leaves to the vines because I\u2019m seriously lacking a hot glue gun. But they stayed on just fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u00a0cut the\u00a0grass of the Pridelands\u00a0out of cardstock and taped them\u00a0to our coffee table. In order for Simba and Nala to stand up, I had to tape them to the grass and put something heavy behind them\u00a0so they wouldn\u2019t fall down. I like how they\u2019re peeking out from behind the grass;\u00a0it reminds me of the\u00a0scene when they are trying to sneak away from Zazu and start singing I\u00a0Just Can\u2019t Wait to be King.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The menu was slimy, yet satisfying. Ok, maybe not so slimy, but definitely satisfying!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We needed all of the grub too, because a whole herd of animals came to party with us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To help the kids show off their wild side (as if they\u00a0need any help in that department) I bought some animal masks for everyone to wear.\u00a0And because\u00a0we were only two weeks away from our vacation, the Disney vibes were strong. We had a wild time watching this classic with our friends!<\/p>\n
