Our Disney Side @Home Celebration Part II: Mickey & Friends Buffet!

Tweet

Disclosure: I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration. the opinions expressed here are all my own. 

With the winter snows and sorrows behind us (and a few cancelled parties) it was time to put the pixie dust back in our lives and have our Disney Side Celebration.

We love showing our Disney Side and sharing it with our friends and family. Mix in some fabulous food and fun entertainment and you can't go wrong.

What was really cool was that pretty much all the supplies needed for my party were included in my party box. You can read all about what was in my party box kit in Focused on the Magic: Our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration Part 1! There were Disney themed plates, cups, napkins, decorations and much much more.

Dumbo Inspired Peanut Butter and Jelly Popcorn Balls Recipe

Today's Food Favorite post and the recipe is inspired by Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Recently I was delighted to receive a contest prize from Sean at Disney Day by Day of an adorable plush Dumbo. There he is pictured above. Isn't he sweet?

Dumbo reminded me of the popcorn at Maurice's Amazing Popping Machine in New Fantasyland. You can get popcorn just about anywhere in Walt Disney World but not in Dumbo souvenir buckets from this magically themed popping machine cart. 

I really wanted to taste the popcorn but we were in a bit of a rush and thought it might spoil our appetites so we deferred for another day which never happened. Silly decision and lesson learned. Just like Dumbo I needed a Timothy in my hat that day. Never put off Disney snacks for later. Eat now or forever hold your peace or peas as my son used to say.

Popcorn in Souvenir Bucket $5.25
Popcorn - $3.50

Dumbo also inspired me to find a healthy fun snack to enjoy right at home that was slightly different than just popping corn. I found this great recipe for DIY Dumbo's Peanut Butter and Jelly Popcorn Balls on a stick from Disney's Magic of Healthy Living.
