This was such a fun week! Peter Pan is one of my favorite classics, and there were SO many creative ways to incorporate the Peter Pan theme into our food for the night! It was also particularly fun because my sister and her young family joined us, as well as one of my other sisters. It was a real party!

We definitely had too much food, but since there were so many of us to help make and eat the food, it seemed like the right thing to do ;). I’d always rather have too much than too little!

I try to have some kind of “main” dish when I plan our Disney nights; something that will be filling, to go along with all the other sides and snacks. I decided to do a pizza (I technically made 3), and used some olives to create the hands of a clock. We hear the crocodile’s clock frequently throughout the movie, so it was fun to find a way to incorporate this into our meal!

And of course, we had to find a fun way to incorporate a crocodile! I came across this darling idea of using a pineapple for a crocodile platter and I was so tickled with how it turned out! Blueberries and marshmallows as eyeballs completed the look. So so cute! And my kids loved it! They loved the added pineapple leaves that served as teeth. It was so cute I had to include 2 pictures so you could really get the full picture!

We also served “cannon balls”, as we see Peter dodging them near the beginning of the movie. I just heated up meatballs from Costco and they were delicious and super easy! (You’ll probably see a lot more shortcuts like this as I get farther along in my pregnancy ;) ).

In keeping with the pirate theme, we also served Pirate Booty, the white cheddar snack. I got a big bag from Costco when they were on sale, so it was perfect! A great addition to our spread of Peter Pan snacks!

Of course, how could we not have a Peter Pan movie night without incorporating Peter Pan peanut butter? My sister made made little peanut butter sandwiches and we cut them into star shapes (second star on the right, and straight on ‘til morning- the directions to Neverland!)

My sister also made these cute little celery boats! We used Peter Pan peanut butter of course! Then a slice of cheese and a toothpick was all that was needed to make mini pirate ships! I thought they turned out so cute!

For dessert, my sister served mermaid ice cream with these cute little mermaid tail cake toppers she found at Walmart. We actually had the hardest time trying to figure out a cute and tasty way to incorporate mermaids, but these ended up being perfect!

And to top it all off, I served Pixie Stix and Sour Patch Kids. The Pixie Stix served as fairy dust, and the Sour Patch Kids were a fun representation of the Lost Boys!

All in all, it was a highly successful night. The food was all tasty, and everything turned out darling, in my opinion. The kids had so much fun with their cousins and having everyone over really made it feel like a party! And of course, the movie itself is so good. Peter Pan is a popular classic for good reason- it’s hilarious, charming, magical- everything you want in a good family movie night.

I’ve included the recipe for the pizza crust I used. It’s a copycat of Papa Murphy’s and it’s pretty much become my go-to pizza crust recipe. It’s not too hard or involved, but the crust is really good! Give it a try!
