Magic Kingdom Movie Marathon with Themed Treats

As we’re all stuck inside during this time of the pandemic, my daughter and I wanted to experience some Disney magic from our family room. We’re still hoping to visit the parks in October but in the meantime, we wanted to have some fun with a Magic Kingdom Movie Marathon!

I pulled out our Magic Kingdom map (because…of course, I have one) and we went through each land to see which rides had a movie associated with it. It was fun going through the map and having her remember various aspects of the rides.

She is only 6 so even though she’s been on some of the rides 3 times, she has a hard time remembering them. Thankfully, there are tons of ride videos on YouTube so we were able to watch the rides and star the ones she wants to go on during our next trip!

With Disney+ having SO many of their movies available, almost every one of these movies listed is on that platform. My suggestion is to preview a few of the older movies if you haven’t watched them since you were a child. They now have warnings at the beginnings of select movies on Disney+ for their racist undertones. I’m happy they’ve kept the movies available so we can talk to our children about these issues.

Let’s take a virtual walk through the Magic Kingdom and see what magic we can find!

Magic Kingdom Movie Marathon

Tomorrowland

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

There is a lot of content to watch to go along with this galactic space battle ride! Toystory 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all on Disney+ but my suggestion is Toystory 4. Forky cracks our family up. We also love the shorts on Disney+ like Partysaurus Rex and Forky Asks a Question. Because of our love for Forky, we chose these super easy Forky cupcakes by Cupcake Diaries.

Monster’s, Inc. Laugh Floor

I’ve never been to the Magic Kingdom without going in for a laugh at Monster’s, Inc. Laugh Floor. Sully and Mike crack me up and I love both Monster’s, Inc. and Monster’s University. These colorful dipped pretzels from Food Folks and Fun are a great treat to make with all ages of kids. You can’t mess them up!

Fantasyland

Cinderella Castle & Prince Charming Royal Carousel

There are two Cinderella themed attractions at the Magic Kingdom. Cinderella’s Castle and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel! There are also two really awesome versions of Cinderella!

The original 1950’s animated version as well as the newer live-action version that came out in 2015. We chose these sweet magic wand rice crispy treats by Mom Endeavors to have for our Cinderella marathon.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

Dumbo is one of Disney’s movies I just CAN’T watch. I have yet to see the live-action version because the animated version makes me cry too much. That being said, I LOVE the ride! I think it’s so fun that they added the playground for the wait queue.

Crafting Chicks made a fun circus-inspired munchy snack that we thought would go great with a Dumbo marathon. Just don’t forget the tissues!

Mad Tea Party

I’m very partial to this ride. It was my favorite ride as a child visiting the parks. It was also the ride I worked while in the College Program. I go on it at least 3 times when it’s daylight and a few more once it’s dark. Can’t get enough of this spinny ride!

I also really enjoy both the animated and live-action versions of Alice in Wonderland. I think the book is phenomenal and the movies bring that whimsy to life beautifully. Magical Treats recreated a park favorite Cheshire Cat Tails that we can’t wait to try!

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Fun Fact: Jeffrey and I were selected to go view Enchanted Tales with Belle early before it opened because we were being friendly with a cast member. IMO, talking to cast members is an attraction in itself at WDW. You learn SO much about the parks and their jobs (and often get perks because of it!)

I couldn’t do this post without sharing a doup of The Grey Stuff from Be Our Guest Restaurant. Mama Cheaps has an exact copy of what you can find at the restaurant. Again, both Beauty and the Beast the animated original and live-action versions are wonderful.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was another ride attraction I worked while in Disney and I can still hear the loading area speech by Tigger. This was my favorite ride to work because I could talk with the guests if I filled the line queue quickly. Talking with guests was my favorite part of working at Disney. For our snack, we wanted to try a snack mix by Jamonkey that would be right up Pooh’s alley.

Peter Pan’s Flight

Peter Pan’s Flight is one of those rides that always has a MASSIVE line. I know a lot of people like their interactive queue but I’ve never ridden it without an FP+? I am really excited to make this Neverland pirate map pizza by Alison’s Wonderland Recipes though! The 1953 movie Peter Pan is a classic but I also have been liking the Tinkerbell movies on Disney+. This shocked me because I’m not a huge fan of the character in the original movie.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Here is something that will blow your mind. SDMT (Seven Dwarfs Mine Train) is the ONLY attraction in all of Disney World that I’ve never done.

I’ve never been able to get a FP+ and never wanted to wait in line so I have YET to ride one of MK’s most popular rides! I should also give a shout out to Snow White’s Scary Adventure (RIP) because it was the other ride I worked during my program. It was super scary riding it alone at night when we were closing it down though…

For our Snow White movie night we’re going to try our hand at these candied apples we found on Olivia’s Cuisine. I’ve never had a candied apple so maybe 2020 is my year to check both of these things off my bucket list.

Under the Sea

Although this is a ride I can go without visiting, I do like meeting Ariel in her grotto when we visit MK. She seems to spend extra time with kids and I think her grotto is a cool backdrop for the photos! The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie growing up and up until Tangled, Ariel was my favorite Disney Princess.

I loved her adventurous spirit and the music in the movie. Sophia thought this mermaid bark by Momdot was beautiful so we’re going to make our first bark and watch The Little Mermaid together.

Liberty Square

Haunted Mansion

I can remember going to The Haunted Mansion as a kid and being terrified but still going on each visit. It’s a staple for us when we visit but I can’t say the same for The Haunted Mansion movie. I think that ride has such a great story and they could make a better movie around that attraction. Until they make that new movie though, you can make these adorable ghost cookies by Fun365.

Frontierland

Tom Sawyer Island

Just thinking about Tom and Huck and visiting Tom Sawyer Island makes me nostalgic. We LOVE visiting Tom Sawyer Island to get away from the stimulation. Playing checkers or exploring through the trees on the bouncy bridge is a great way to take a mental breather.

As a huge JTT fan, Tom and Huck was one of my favorite movies as a tween. We recently re-watched it and it’s still pretty cute. Even cuter though is this dirt worm mix we found by Fake Ginger. Can’t wait to pair the two for a movie night!

Adventureland

Jungle Cruise

Jungle Cruise is coming out in July 2020 and looks pretty cute. I’ve got high hopes for it as it is attached to such an iconic ride. This is another ride I can’t visit without going on. For this movie, we’re going to make our first freak shake before heading out to the theaters! My Name is Snickerdoodle did a great job on her shake with this Disney themed challenge.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

I’m usually more focused on getting my Dole Whip when I go to this area but Soph loves riding The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. Aladdin is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies and I think they did a pretty good job on the live-action version that came out in 2019. For this movie, Sophia can make this jello dessert by Suburban Wife City Life all on her own.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Just thinking about this ride puts smells of my childhood in my head! Did you know they make candles of the water in this ride?! I think all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are great and the music is even better! We’re not to the age where we can watch this for our Magic Kingdom movie marathon but my husband and I can still make this pirate popcorn munch by my friend Kimberly at A Night Owl.

Swiss Family Treehouse

Last, and possibly least? Swiss Family Treehouse. This is an attraction that I remember going on as a kid and have tried a few times walking through on my own or with my family and it just hasn’t stood the test of time. I’m also not a fan of the movie Swiss Family Robinson BUT I wanted to include every movie that has a corresponding attraction so here it is.

Although I don’t love the attraction or the movie, these pineapple coconut squares by An Italian in My Kitchen are what I’d most be looking forward to making! You can’t go wrong with pineapple and coconut!

I wish I could have you all over for a Magic Kingdom movie marathon and chat about our memories of these rides. I have so many separate memories of these attractions and experiencing them with different people. It’s fun to reminisce about the impact these rides have had while making these treats.

Tell me, what rides are your favorites? Which movies have you watched 100 times?
