We were recently chosen to host a #DisneySide Home Celebration, and my boys were SO excited!

You’ll find plenty of Disney Cars games, Cars theme party decorations, party favors, invitations & more!

Luigis Casa Della Tires

The boys wanted to build “Luigi’s Casa Della Tires,” so we used mini chocolate donuts to create a “tire” tower. I simply hot-glued a bamboo skewer to a paper plate and then threaded the donuts onto the skewer. An easy way to create an impressive party treat!

Chex-ered Flag Cars Snack Mix

We dubbed these cute containers of snack mix “Chex-ered Flag Mix,” and they were a huge hit!

PBJ Sandwich Wheels

I used my favorite sandwich press to make PBJ “Wheels” for lunch. I made the sandwiches the night before our party (such a great idea!) and stored them in these cute Cars sandwich bags until we were ready for lunch.
