Our #DisneyKids Preschool Party! #Disney #DisneyJunior #Banfield #Publix

Disclosure: I received free products in order to host the Disney Kids Preschool Playdate. The opinions expressed here on my site are my own.

We were selected to host a #DisneyKids Preschool Party in our home with our friends! We received a box with a Sofia the First carry on size suitcase from American Tourist, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plates, napkins, table cloth and ceiling decorations, Glad FROZEN sandwich size zipper bags, ALL laundry soap samples, small container of Nestle Nesquik chocolate milk, ten drawstring backpack type bags that say "Disney Junior" on the back, ten maps of Walt Disney World, ten sheets of Disney's The Lion Guard Tattoos, ten Lion Guard posters, ten hats that could be used as Jake and the Neverland Pirate hats or Sofia the First crowns, some bags to decorate to use as puppets or whatever, and one bag of safari animals, which we used to decorate the table with and the children enjoyed playing with them. We also received a copy of "My Very, Very Smelly Breath" children's book, from the Banfield Pet Hospital to read at our #DisneyKids party, but the children got so busy, I forgot.

Even the Moms joined in on the fun!

Most everyone got fake tattoos!

PhotoBomb!

We invited fifteen children and six adults, and only three children and two other adults could come. Everyone else either had the flu, strep, pink eye or something else. We couldn't reschedule, so we made the most of it with my three children and a little boy I babysit. So we had seven kids total! I ordered pizza, we had cupcakes, ice cream, fruit and more!

I purchased a blow up Crocodile game, that I called "The Tick Tock Croc" (from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Peter Pan) that the children could throw rings around his head and tail! Everyone joined in on the fun to play this game! They all took turns and had a lot of fun!

Thank you so much to our Party Sponsors American Tourister, Banfield Pet Hospital, Nestle Nesquik, ALL, GLAD, Disney, Disney Junior, my friend at Disney and Publix (gave us crayons for our goodie bags).

We used our GLAD zipper sandwich bags for our left over tattoos!

Nestle Nesquik chocolate milk is the best!

My #DisneySide @Home Celebration Costume Party!

We are taking a trip from Tennessee to California in a few weeks! We are also taking our three children to Disneyland and California Adventure! Our older two children can hardly wait, and neither can we! Our almost twenty month old, Hailey, is really into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney Junior channel. She loves to sing the "Hot Dog" song! I hope she is just as happy to meet Mickey Mouse in person!

A little over a month ago, I was chosen, along with many other moms, dads, and bloggers, to host my own Disney Side at Home Celebration party! I received a purple American Tourister Suitcase full of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse decorations, Photo paper from HP, and more. (You can read about what else I received in my first post, here.)

Thank you also to our Party Sponsors:

Goo Goo Clusters sent some of their candies for me to give out to our guests and to put in their Goodie bags to send home with them, and a cute t-shirt for Hailey, which she wore during the party! I tried all 3 kids, the original, peanut butter, and their supreme! They are all really delicious!

Maui Wowi gave us a super cute basket full of goodies (Lei, Coffee, two Chocolates, Coffee Cup, Surfboard Keychain, and some Pina Colada Surf Wax Lip Balm. Photo was taken by my friend who won the basket!), you can see it on the middle shelf below, sorry, I didn't get a close up photo), some gift cards, and some of their pink Smoothie cups with a coupon for a Free drink inside to give away to our guests also! Everyone went home with a free drink cup and coupon for a Smoothie from Maui Wowi! Thank you so much!

We had our Disney Side party yesterday. A few of my friends couldn't make it because of personal reasons. So we were two mommies, and three kids short. But we still had fun, and some Mommy time to chat because the kids were all having too much fun enjoying their playdate! We had Chips, Goo Goo Clusters, Disney Fruit Snacks, Goldfish Crackers, a Fruit Bowl, Cookies, and Cupcakes to munch on! The cookies and fruit bowl were the biggest hits! They also had a lot of fun playing with the balloons, as you can see from some of the photos!

The kids really enjoyed decorating their own sugar cookies and cupcakes! The loved the different colored icings that I bought (pink, blue, yellow, white, and purple)! We also had many different kinds and colors of sprinkles, colored sugar, and some small chocolate candies to put on their cookies and cupcakes too! (Yes, that's me in the purple t-shirt!) We used our Mickey Mouse cookies cutters that came with our party kit, and some other Disney cookie cutters that we had in our home, to make cookies for our friends.

Then we took some group photos! I purchased a photo booth background with some little hats, smiles, glassed, etc. But the kids didn't really want to play with them, so we will save them for the next party. I even bought some little Mickey Ears, which a few kids took some home, but we have some left for another party later! My daughter Hailey's second birthday is coming up soon!

My youngest daughter, Hailey, was down for a nap when we took the group photos. She was so tired. We all had so much fun!
