Every year during the month of October, our family gears up for our annual vacation to Disneyland to enjoy all the Halloween festivities the park has to offer. From the spooky-cute attractions and parades to the deliciously spootacular treats, we think it's the best time of year to be in Disneyland.
To ramp up the excitement before our trip, I thought it would be fun to throw a Mickey Mouse themed party before we headed to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
My daughter invited a few of her buddies over for a fun-filled afternoon with lots of yummy treats and activities.
This adorable candy corn inspired Mickey pumpkin was so quick and easy to create. Using aceramic pumpkin, I painted stripes in orange, yellow and white...just like a candy corn! Then I used my Cricut Machine to cut out buttons and Mickey ears. I glued them to the pumpkin and that was it! So cute, right?
Make a festive Minnie and Micky banner using a Cricut Machine(or you could alway trace and hand cut Mickey and Minnie) and string them to baker's twine.
The kids loved this part of the party! I cut out Mickey ears using yellow vinyl and attached them to small plastic jars. I then filled the jars with white, yellow and orange playdough and tiny pumpkin cookie cutters.
The kids loved cutting mini pumpkins out of the playdough and had a ball making their very own little pumpkin patch.
Of course you can't have a party without some yummy treats! Leigh from Baby Gabey Cookies created these adorable Mickey and Minnie sugar cookies and threw in a couple spooky-sweet ghosts and jack-o-lanterns too!
The kids left the party with sweet orange gingham Mickey and Minnie goodie bags filled with Halloween treats and toys.
I hope you enjoyed this Mickey Mouse inspired Halloween party!
Have a Happy Halloween!

This Wonka inspired Trunk or Treat was so much fun to put together. Check out the rest of the post below to see how to recreate it yourself!
Using my Cricut Explore Air 2, I cut out several golden tickets and paper candies to attach to the garland. I also used my Cricut to cut out the letters to spell Wonka and attached them to the backdrop using glue dots. It all held together great throughout the evening!
Here's our very own little Veruca Salt demanding "I WANT IT NOW" with a golden ticket and swirly lollipop in hand. To create this look, I found the red dress on Amazon and sewed black buttons down the front of the dress. I attached a peter pan style collar around the neck that I cut out of white fabric and then a black ribbontied around the waist finished the costume off.
Let's all sing along!
DADDY! I WANT IT NOOOOOW!
Kids loved picking out these funky Shutter Glassesin a variety of colors. I set a few glasses out and placed some inside a jar with a sign that said Wonka Vision Glasses. It was so fun to see all the kids walking around with their Wonka glasses on!
Candy filled Golden Eggswere a huge hit with the kids and they were all relieved they were "good eggs" when they came by to pick out their treats.
Large Cherry Flavored Swirl Lollipopsturned into Twirly Whirly Wonka Pops and the little trunk or treaters were so excited over these giant rainbow lollipops!
Ok, so this is definitely NOT lickable wallpaper (so be sure to remind the kids!) but I wanted to incorporate the fruity wallpaper into the trunk or treat somehow. So, I came up with the idea of attaching Fruit Slice Puttyto white foam board. I think the kids preferred this idea over lickable wallpaper because they were able to choose a fun fruit slice putty to play with and take home!
Instead of fizzy lifting drinks, I thought fizzy lifting bubbles would be just as fun and what kid doesn't love blowing bubbles? Bubbles filled the air at our trunk or treat festivities and were a huge hit with the little ones!
I hope you enjoyed this Willy Wonka inspired Trunk or Treat idea! I'm sure Mr. Wonka himself would feel right at home surround by all these colorful treats and goodies!
