We may not be able to travel to Disney World right now, but we can bring the magical world of Disney to our backyard. Hopefully it will also help cast a spell on meal time too. Because, I don’t know about you, but I am tired of answering the question: what’s for dinner?
That’s one reason that I’m moving as many meals as I can from the dining room table to the backyard for a picnic. (This is a sponsored post).
Everything You Need to Create a Disney Backyard Picnic
Seating – The first order of business: where to sit? For a kid-only picnic, you could go with a small picnic table. But if you want a true picnic experience — or perhaps a date night in the backyard? — our preference is to use a picnic blanket. Disney has some pretty fun blankets; depending on what your favorite film is, here are just a few options:
- Little Mermaid Ursula picnic blanket
- Star Wars Death Star popup picnic blanket
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Evil Queen blanket
- Mary Poppins blanket tote
Choose from an array of Disney picnic blankets for your next outdoor meal.
Plates and silverware – Next up, paper plates won’t do for a magical backyard picnic. Plus, a basket makes it super easy to carry everything you need out to your outdoor dining area. This Mickey and Minnie Mouse picnic basket is made out of wicker, so it’s nice and sturdy. But best of all: it comes with porcelain plates, silverware, and wine glasses — nearly everything you need for a Disney-inspired picnic!
Drinks – The basket may come with wine glasses, but what about cups for the little ones when they join in? Tumblers — with straws and a tops — are a must. After all, if I can avoid a mess, even outdoors, I will.
All of these picnic goodies from Disney may not answer the question, “what’s for dinner?” But they sure do make the whole dining experience at home different than usual, and that alone can be magical.
