Follow the Blue Line!!

This will be our path to WDW!

This week I am going to great lengths to ensure the short car ride is filled with fun and excitement.  Any games we decide to play along the way will be themed to anything Disney (movies, music, parks, etc.). I have a couple in mind that I ran by my husband and I will go into more detail with them below.  As it is just my husband and myself these games are more geared towards adults kids can play them.  This is going to be interesting as one adult will always be driving so it will be interesting to see how we play these games. They should keep us thoroughly entertained and get us ready for Disney Magic!

"Let's make some magic!"   

Game 1: Disney Movie Mash-up

Description: In this game; players will take turn guessing which two movie titles are mushed together based off of the clue given.

Instructions:

Step 1: Player one gives first clue.

Step 2: Player two guesses the answer

Step 3: Player two gives clue

Step 4: Player on guesses the answer

Step 5: repeat 1-4 until all clues have been given.

Answers:

 You will take two movie titles one of which must be Disney  (i.e. The Lion King and The King's Speech) and mush them together. Note: articles (a, the, etc are exempt)

The Lion King's Speech

Clues:

Clues should include characters, plots, etc to help the guesser guess the answer.

As Simba ascends the thrown he must go through speech class as he has a stutter and cannot perform perfect speeches!

As you can see I mushed the two plots of the film together, you can basically come up with any clue that will get the guesser to the answer.

Scoring: 1 point for each correct answer the person with the most points wins the game.  In the event of a tie be creative for a tie breaker it can be anything.  (Example: you are one the road the first person to spot a white car wins the tie breaker, or the first person to get a truck to honk their horn wins!) The possibilities are endless.

 Things to note:

1. You will have to come with these before you go on your trip. (After my trip I will post mine so you can use them to help as well as the recording of us playing the game.)

2. It is easier if you come up with the answer before the clue.  I just thought a bunch of titles that you could put together.

3. The hardest part is coming up with titles you can mash together.

20DQ

This is just like 20 questions with the variation of it having to be something related to Disney. 

Examples:

        1. attraction at a park

        2. Disney song

        3. character or movie

You can narrow it down to only the parks or just a character if you wish.

Name that Disney tune:

Description:  Play a Disney song on the radio and have the person guess the name of the song bonus points for the movie it is in. 

Variations: humming or whistling the song.

Ariel humming Part of Your World multilingual!

Disney Trivia (more for adults)

You will need a book for this game or a set of cards from Disney's Scene it. In this game you will go back and forth asking questions you can keep track of correct answers or you can just play for fun. I am excited to learn things I may not have known beforehand and will be able to apply it to our trip at the World.

Disney Plot Limericks 

This game will most likely be difficult and very entertaining at the same time. The objective of this game is to pick a disney movie and come up with a limerick describing the plot.  I will be recording ours and maybe I can come up with one to post pre-trip!

There once was a beauty named Belle

Who lived in a castle with a spell

She met a big Beast

Who threw her a feast

And thats how the tale came to tell

Limerick

Disney Alphabet game

Start with A and think of a character then the next person will go to B... When one person gets stuck and the other person steps in before the player can come up with a name then play will continue the player to end with the letter Z wins unless that player is stumped then the other player may step in and take the win. Characters must be animated

List of Animated Disney Characters

Xerxes in Aladdin the cartoon

Example
Ariel
Beast
Clarabell
Donald
Elisa
.

.

Ursula

Xerxes

Yao

Zues

Disney Name Game

Description think of a Disney Character either animated or live action.  Example Mary Poppins. The next player will take the last letter of the name and think of a new character (s) example: Simba. Play continues until some one is stumped when person is stumped point is awarded to other player.  

These are just a few they I have come up with a lot of them are games played on road trips already I just changed them to be Disney themed.  If you have and game ideas, variations, or a better way to keep score please make a comment below and also follow the blog.

Oozma Kappa

First time in a long time I went to see a movie so Monsters University of course was well deserved.  I tried to not watch too many trailers or teasers for this movie. (I did not want to spoil it when I saw it, I.e. I didn't want to see all the funny parts in the commercials) I have to say I was not disappointed. 

This movie was fantastic  a true disney classic.  I am always iffy on sequels or in this case prequels.  Disney's last prequel that I remember was kind of a let down (Ariel's Beginning). 

Monsters University is definitely one for the ages in all aspects of   the phrase.

This is a movie ALL ages will enjoy young, old, and everything inbetween.  It a movie that families will be watching years from now and generation after generations will be able to enjoy this classically funny and whimsical film.  It really is a thing of beauty.  

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the quality and work that has gone into this film.  The scenery is truly fantastic and quite literally out of this world.  I recall from Monsters Inc. that there are over 2.3 individually animated hairs.  I sure this to be the case in this movie as well. As always Disney is at the top of technological advances and is always setting the bar for quality!  

Which character are you?  Let me know in the comments!

The story line is well developed and one that everyone can relate to as well and learn something (just like Disney to make learning fun).  I have to say that watching the characters interact and all the events taking place brought me to college a place that I haven't been to in while.  The storyline did kind of remind me of Revenge of the Nerds (absolutely hilarious, a must see) but at least this one is for all ages and a true underdog triumph adventure.    

Overall excellent movie a must see.  One that I will surely buy.  My husband was doing his goofy laugh (the one you only hear when he thinks something is extremely funny).

Favorite Character: Art, hilarious as well as versatile. Also, very cute!  

Favorite Scene:  Oozma Kappa initiation scene

This is totally unrelated to this movie but it is related to Pixar and I found it to be a good read.  The Pixar Theory
