10 Disney Movie Night Dinner Match-ups (make Family Movie Night fun!)

  • Share on Facebook!364

Make your family movie night extra special with Disney movie-themed meals to match up with the movie! Here are some inspired Disney dinner recipes and the movie to watch it with!

When my oldest son was about 5, we lived in a small one-bedroom apartment. He had the bedroom, so I slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room, right next to the tiniest galley kitchen you’ve ever seen. On Friday nights, though, we did something special.

We made finger foods, pulled out the couch bed, snuggled up to watch a movie, and popped some Act II Caramel popcorn (do they even make that anymore?!?). Disney’s The Lion King was his absolute favorite, we must have watched  200 times!

He’s now in college, and we still talk about how special those Friday movie nights were (and he still loves The Lion King)!

We also still have Family Fun Night on Fridays as part of my meal planning theme nights. Go read that post and be sure to grab my full list of 50+ theme night ideas but come back to read the rest of these Disney themed dinner ideas…

 

I hope these Disney Movie Night dinner ideas help you create some fun and lasting movie night traditions with your littles!

Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. B Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. But it’s definitely changed me from hating baking to *liking* baking. 

I actually find it 🎉 EASY 🎉 (if you knew how much I hated to bake you’d understand!)

Especially since I started sourdough. I can’t believe I waited so long because I thought it would be hard or time consuming! 

It has actually simplified cooking at home and you know me… I’m chasing simple!

Closing out your meal plan each week will save you Closing out your meal plan each week will save you time in the future, and it takes under a minute!

Plus it’s helpful if your week didn’t go according to plan and you didn’t end up making everything you intended!

Here’s what I do: 

✔️ Checkmark
Made it and we liked it
👉🏼 move on

❌ X it out
Didn’t make it but don’t have the ingredients anymore
👉🏼 move on

🌀 Circle it
Didn’t make it but have the ingredients 
👉🏼 put first on next week’s meal plan

⭐️ Star it
Made it and loved it, need to save recipe
👉🏼 add to your recipes

➖Cross it out
Made it and hated it
👉🏼 remove from master meal plan (and take note of why you hated it)

Save this for when - not if - your plan doesn’t go according to plan!
