Happy 2015 forum family!!! I know it's a little early for some but I wanted to start my online library of the progress for my annual party for 2015. I announced at the 2014 party that the theme for this year would be the Dark Side of Disney and my guests roared with excitement. I know several that were already planning and working on costumes the day immediately after the party so I'm super excited to see what they create. The bar will be really high to impress this group with the decorations for this year and I already have a few props secured.

I purchased the Snow White Witch that was sold in 2014 and love her completely. A close friend, and fellow forum member, made me her infamous potion bottles and the apple that has the dripping skull which will all make a great display! I had all of those all packed away to make room for the Christmas decorations so I'll get them out and take pictures to post here soon.

Now, this past weekend, I ran across a mechanical Disney Christmas decoration of one of the dalmatian puppies kneeling on a Christmas rug. He rotates his head, wags his tail, and barks when the light sensor is interrupted. I think he will look fantastic in a cage near the Cruella I want to create. Here is a short video of him:



Well, that's all I have for now but I'm really excited to continue planning and purchasing. Feel free to follow along and please offer up any suggestions for this theme.

That's fantastic, dee! Please feel free to post your pics here in this thread, as well. I'd love to share ideas and are anxious to see what you do with the theme!

Hahahaha. I may have to rely on mirrors to reflect the other 999.

I would love to share ideas with you. I love the dalmations you got!
Fantastic! I love having at least one other member doing a similar theme so we can share ideas. Let's go !

Yep. I am following along too. How fun!!!
Hey PIB! Be sure to post some thoughts/suggestions as you always have some very creative ideas. Thanks in advance for following.

OMM, you are so kind. I saw your post about the wedding dress you found and you mentioned some Disney costumes and I was wondering if they were any of the princess dresses. I would gladly pay you for them and the postage. PM when you get the figures together and we'll discuss how to exchange, provided you don't have a use for them.

I really want to find the Snow White outfit because I want to dress one of my life size skeletons and have her laying out on the dinning room table like she is pictured when Prince Charming finds her....but in my version, he is too late and she has long since expired and rotted.

That mirror is so cool. I saw where a member here used to put one in place of his front door each Halloween and would talk to the children before dropping the candy out to them but I can't remember who it was. Thanks for sending me this as I'd like to create this set up and have the mirror respond to my guests with evil tales.


This could be an idea. One time when we were at Disneyland, they had an upstairs art gallery showing "The Many Faces of Mickey." The gallery was full of framed portraits of Mickey Mouse by the various artists who made them. You could have a portrait wall, but with evil/scary portraits of Mickey or other Disney characters.

To me, nothing says Disney like Mickey Mouse!
That's a great idea, PIB. I go back and forth about more "serious" or scary pictures of the comical characters or having an stuffed Mickey Mouse caught in a really big rat trap. Perhaps I can do both :)

I can't wait to see how your party unfolds. To get you inspired, here is a bunch of artwork on the dark side of Disney. http://www.pinterest.com/zim2/art-scary-disneypixar/
I love this pinterest collection, dawnski. Thanks for sending it my way as it gives me some really good ideas. Keep 'em coming.

I found a matching pair of these giant plastic "lanterns" which are supposed to be wall hangings. When I saw them I immediately thought of embellishments to the sides of a wrecked princess' carriage that I would love to have outside the front of my house. Any other ideas? They aren't very heavy as they are that 60's-70's plastic but they are kinda large.

I want the wrecked carriage to be something like this but with no people in it or perhaps a dead princess in a tattered gown hanging out the door:

Had purchased this particular wig head off of eBay and it came in the mail today. Selected her because she looks like an animated villain and would make a great life size character. I'm hoping to turn her into the evil queen from Snow White and have her looking out the window opening and shutting the curtain like in the Snow White Adventure ride.

Hey dawnski !! Thanks for confirming my vision. I can't to find that black cowl she wears on her head so I can see what she will actually look like. Looks like they are sold as part of full costumes or separately so I just need to pick one.

Hey printer. I checked the base, which is all styrofoam, on both the top and the bottom and didn't see a name. I assume you are talking about how some of the newer "rubber" type masks have names on labels like "Cathy" or "Susan". The only markings on the wig head are on the back of the head and it is stamped into the styrofoam as she is only the front of the face and the back is exposed. Here is a pic but know that I couldn't get a good shot of the wording and I can't make it myself. Sorry that I couldn't get any more information on her.
