DisneySide @Home Celebration kit: what's inside? (and a giveaway for you!)

All products featured on this post (except Mickey!) were given to me as part of the DisneySide @Home Celebration campaign.

It has been over 2 weeks since I first found out I had been chosen to host a DisneySide @Home celebration, and in that time, social media has been buzzing over all the cool things that Disney and MomSelect had packed up for the party hosts.  I always knew I'd be one of the last to receive a box since the box had to travel cross-country to get to me.  So I waited as patiently as possible, passing the time by planning my own party, and by oohing and ahhing over all the #DisneySide hosts' photos.

When the package finally arrived, I couldn't help grinning like an idiot (and no, I did not stalk the UPS guy or wait on my porch -- I swear it was coincidence that I happened to have my phone to take a photo at the exact same moment the truck arrived!).  I already had a pretty good idea of what I'd find inside the box, but that didn't prevent me from being thrilled when we opened the box -- mainly because The Pea, who was at home when the box arrived, had no idea that we'd be receiving anything, let along what was inside.  The look of genuine surprise and happiness on her face as she and Mickey Mouse unpacked the box made my day!

Here's a video I made of The Pea and Mickey opening our box and exploring its contents:


Here are all the contents of the box, in all their glory!  Mickey Mouse was amazed at all the cool stuff they were able to pack into a single box.  He's more excited than ever to party!

Everything came packed into an American Tourister At Skate roll-on suitcase.  At just 20" long and 6.8 lbs, this is the perfect hand carry luggage -- and since it's black with red lining (Mickey Mouse colors!), it will be even more perfect for the next time we visit a Disney Park!  The box also had an adorable Mickey Mouse luggage tag.  Thank you, American Tourister (the official luggage of Walt Disney World and Disneyland), for this amazing hostess gift!

Here's a more detailed listing of everything we received:

A hostess kit with party ideas, recipes, and a Disney Vacation planning DVD, plus red and yellow balloons.

Fun Mickey Mouse Clubhouse partyware: paper plates, paper cups, napkins, hanging decorations, and plastic table cover.

For yummy party treats:  Ocean Spray Craisins, measuring cups from The Chew, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cupcake liners, and Mickey Mouse cookie cutters.  I love, love, LOVE the cookie cutters -- I already have a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter, but this new red one is much smaller, so I can make smaller cookies and sandwiches, and the new black one is an adorable Mickey profile!

Disney-themed games: Disney Bingo and Disney Trivia.  This will go great with the Disney-themed Taboo cards I made!  I didn't peek even once at the Disney Trivia questions because we're going to be playing all 3 Disney games at our party.

Craft supplies: 10 white t-shirts from Hanes and a pack of Crayola fabric markers.  Every DisneySide party host's box was a little different, and I must confess that I was secretly hoping to get these shirts, so I'm thrilled that my wish came true!  Time to busy some iron-on transfer paper and polka dot ribbon to make sew-on mini bows!

Goodie bag fillers:  Muppets calendars, temporary tattoos, stickers, runDisney bracelets, runDisney bumper stickers, runDisney chEAR cards (which could also be used for placemats, decor, or even games), and the most adorable Mickey and Minnie love posters.

Memory makers: 10 boxes of HP Photo Cards.  These can be used for invitations, but I think I'll use them as thank-you cards.  I plan to have a Disney-themed photo booth, so I want to print out a photo of each guest posing in the photo booth, and send the photo home with them.  How's that for a fun party memory?!

It was truly a wonderful surprise, and if I was excited for our DisneySide party, I'm doubly excited now that this party box has arrived.  I'm so grateful to MomSelect, Disney, American Tourister, Hanes, HP, The Chew, and Ocean Spray for all these goodies!
