It’s Mickey Mouse Day! 3 Fun Ways to Celebrate

It’s Mickey Mouse Day; let’s celebrate! If you know me, you know I will take any excuse to decorate and make it a party. Mickey Mouse’s birthday is no exception.

Mickey Mouse was “born” November 18, 1928 — a creation of the late Walt Disney. Viewers first fell in love with the Mouse in the black and white film, Steamboat Willie. Fast forward nearly a century, and that Mouse has turned into a worldwide empire. As a longtime Disney lover, I truly enjoy all the fun and magic Mickey and his friends represent.

Let’s channel that magic and celebrate Mickey Mouse Day!

Mickey-Shaped Snacks

Fact: Mickey-shaped food tastes better! Many snacks now come Mickey-shaped, like these nuggets and Goldfish crackers. You can also improvise. I used my Mickey-shaped pancake mold to cut the quesadilla and added “Mickey ears” to the cupcake by placing Oreo cookies on either side of the frosting. Find more Mickey-shaped snacks to enjoy at home HERE.

Mickey Mouse Crafts

Mickey-themed crafts are another fun way to celebrate Mickey Mouse Day! To create “Mickey balloons” at home I wrapped Mickey plates in cellophane and added string before taping them up on the wall. You can also try these $5 DIY floral ears and follow us on Pinterest for even more Disney DIY.

Mickey Mouse Movie Night

Tune in to a favorite Mickey film (Mickey’s Christmas Carol is a great one for the holidays!) or stream the kids’ favorite Mickey Mouse television show and make it a family night! I know listening to the hot dog song for the hundredth (maybe thousandth) time can be a little wearing, but your kids will enjoy the memories of everyone snuggled up on the couch watching their favorite show.
