What is your #DisneySide? You know, “that fun-loving adventurous spirit that comes out to play when you’re feeling the Disney magic!”* How do you show it? There are so many ways: through fashion, games, visiting the Disney Parks, photography, etc. The ways to show your #DisneySide are endless.

Parenting In Northern Kentucky was given the opportunity to host a #DisneySide @Home Celebration!!!!!! (I often go overboard with exclamation points and the previous sentence should technically end in a period, but trust me, P.I.N.K. was more than 6 exclamation points excited to be offered this opportunity). I want to start by giving a HUGE THANKS to Disney Parks and Mom Select for making this event possible. It all started here. Our #DisneySide party box arrived with a beautiful, purple American Tourister suitcase, HP photo cards, Craisins, and all the necessary supplies to host a magical event. We were provided the supplies, but you can have a #DisneySide Party of your own anytime! I encourage you to. It’s so much fun! All you have to do is channel your inner Disney and the event will be just your style. For lots of ideas and inspiration, check out Disney Side Celebrations, Spoonful.com , and Babble.com .

We did our #DisneySide @Home Celebration NKY style. The event was held at the Behringer-Crawford Museum in Covington, KY. The museum is a complete, interactive presentation of the regional, NKY area’s history. It is a hidden gem inside NKY. Please click over and read our full review. Our awesome NKY Bloggers and their families attended the party, each bringing an appetizer that showed their #DisneySide. For Parenting In Northern Kentucky, I made Mickey Mouse nacho chips, Mickey and Friends pancakes, and Mickey Mouse cookies. Our creative bloggers brought Hot Diggity Dogs, a “frozen” pie, Mickey Mouse cheese and crackers, Maleficient cupcakes and fairy winged cupcakes. The food was not lacking a #DisneySide!

Not only were we able to play the Disney Vacations CD on the projector throughout the event, we had quite a few activities providing guests with ways to show their #DisneySide: Disney trivia cards on all tables, Face Painting, an Animation Studio, Create A Personalized Mickey Cup, puzzles and matching, and a super fun #DisneySide photo booth. You can also check out the adorable Minnie and Mickey Treat Bags.

It all sounds super fun you say?? Oh, it gets better. We had our very own Distance 4 Dreams: Xavier University Chapter, #RunDisney VIPs there to volunteer their Disney spirit and help. These college students focus their time and energy into raising money for D4D. Each year, they run 48.6 miles through Disney to raise money to help grant the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses. D4D works together with A Special Wish Foundation and Give Kids The World Village. Click on the name above and read more about they way the show their #DisneySide through helping others. Pretty amazing students!!!
