5 Tips For Hosting a #DisneyKids Themed Preschool Playdate

April 30, 2017 Leave a Comment

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I received free product in exchange for hosting a #DisneyKids Preschool Playdate. All opinions are my own.
In February I got one of the coolest emails ever…an email from Disney.  Seriously.  DIS-freakin-NEY!

They were offering me a chance to host a preschool playdate for MiniE and 10 of her friends.  There were no guarantees at the time but the timing seemed to work out nicely with her 4th birthday.  SO I applied and crossed my fingers.  When I got the confirmation I might have squealed a little.  MiniE hadn’t had a birthday party since her first.  Then about a month later, MiniE got a package in the mail.  Wanna see what was in it?  Watch our Disney Preschool Playdate kit reveal!

Once I knew what I was working with I started planning.  10 friends turned into 15 turned into 24.  🙂  We are fortunate to have so many amazing people in our lives.  We wanted to share the Disney Magic with them all! HUGE thanks to our neighbors for the awesome Mickey Clubhouse!  Everyone knew exactly where our house was!  🙂

So Here Are Five Tips for Having Your Own Disney Preschool Playdate (blended in with some pictures of ours)

There’s no such thing As too much Mickey

We found all kids of decorations to go along with what they sent us at the Dollar Tree.  MiniE was so excited.

Don’t over-plan the date

Kids have a mind of their own and for as much as we plan, they have different plans.  I placed it all out there and thought the date was going to go one way, but the kids took it another.  They LOVED finding the hidden Mickey’s and loved decorating the hats but equally loved “pretending” to be Jake and the Neverland pirates outside!

Keep it clean

We put the Softsoap in the bath and I’m glad I did.  Knowing the kids were coming out with clean hands meant all the little hands in the snacks weren’t an issue.

Cake

Have plenty of snacks

We used Pop Secret popcorn, pretzels, M&M’s, veggies and fruit tray from Chick – fil-A (it’s so good).

Don’t forget the Take Home Disney Goodness

We also handed out a pack of HP Social Media Snapshots to each mama so they could make print out pictures from their social albums on 4×5 prints with sticky backs.  We also used the provided gift bags to wrap up a little Disney goodness for each #DisneyKid .

We used the HP cards and our HP printer (thanks to Staples for that!) to create custom Thank You cards for all our guests!

Hosting a #DisneyKids playdate is so much fun!  Watching the kids create their own Disney magic is probably the best part.  Hearing them ask their parents if they can come back again isn’t so bad either!
