This adorable DIY pumpkin has a fun Disney twist!

You can make this Mickey Mouse craft with only a few simple dollar store supplies and display at home this fall.

Scroll down for all the details.

What you need:

1 small foam craft pumpkin

2 pack of door knob wall shields

craft knife

2 foam brushes

orange acrylic paint 

Mod Podge

small sandwich bag of rice or beans, for weight

small fake succulent plants

fake moss, optional

hot glue

Directions: 

1. Start by removing the foam stem and using a craft knife, cut a circle in the top and cut and scoop out the center foam until you have a opening to hold your succulent. 

2. Now paint your pumpkin and wall shields (both sides) . I used a pretty metallic orange paint and added 2 coats. 

3. Once the paint is dry, add a layer of Mod Podge to seal.

4. Add a cup or two of uncooked rice or dried beans to a baggie.

5. Seal and add the baggie to the opening of your pumpkin. This will weigh it down.

6. Cut a small slit on each side of the top of the pumpkin to hold the ears. Slide the painted wall shield “ears” into the top. 

7. Now add moss (optional), gluing around the outside of the opening. 

8. Finally, add your succulent plants to the opening. Optional: to secure it more you can glue the bottom leaves to the pumpkin. 

9. Display and enjoy your Disney fall creation!

Start with a small/medium foam craft pumpkin from Dollar Tree. 

You will also need a 2 pack of door knob wall shields which can also be found at Dollar Tree. 

Start by removing the foam stem and using a craft knife cut a circle in the top and cut and

scoop out the center foam.

You should have a deep enough opening to hold your succulent. 

Now paint your pumpkin and wall shields (both sides). I used a pretty metallic orange paint and added 2 coats.

You can skip this step on the pumpkin but I think the craft pumpkins look much better when they have a solid gloss paint over them. 

Once the paint is dry, add a layer of Mod Podge to seal. I used the glossy kind. 

Add a cup or two of uncooked rice or dried beans to a baggie.

Seal and add the baggie to the opening of your pumpkin. This will weigh it down.

Cut a small slit on each side of the top of the pumpkin to hold the ears.

Slide the painted wall shield “ears” into the top. 

Now add moss (optional), gluing around the outside of the opening. 

Then add your succulent plants to the opening. Optional: to secure it more you can glue the bottom leaves to the pumpkin. 

Display and enjoy your fall Disney creation!

These biscuit beignets are made in minutes with just a couple ingredients then tossed in lots and lots of powdered sugar!

Cut them into Mickey shapes for a fun Disney twist just like they serve at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort.  

I grabbed a bag togo of Mickey beignets last time I visited the resort. How could I pass them up?!

The only place you can get Mickey Beignets at Disney is Port Orleans French Quarter Resort.

We took a free water taxi there and loved exploring the resort before heading to the parks. 

Heads up pumpkin lovers. Disney makes pumpkin beignets every fall and they are to die for!

Mickey Biscuit Beignets

Ingredients

• 16 oz tube Grands flaky biscuits
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• oil for frying

Instructions

• Pour oil about half way full into a heavy bottomed pot.
• Heat oil over medium until around 370 degrees (I check by adding the end of a wooden spoon in the oil to see if it bubbles).
• Separate your biscuits on a cutting board. Flatten with the back of your hand.
• Using a Mickey cookie cutter, cut out one Mickey out of each biscuit. Discard scraps.
• Add 2 or 3 (depending on the size of your pot) biscuits to the oil at a time.  Do not overcrowd.
• Cook until golden, flip and cook the other side. You need to cook for at least a couple minutes so they are not doughy inside so adjust your temperate if they get too dark.
• Remove to a paper towel  lined plate to drain and repeat with remaining biscuits.
• Add to a plate or paper bag like Disney and dust immediately with powdered sugar. Lots and lots of powdered sugar.

Notes

These are best eaten hot and fresh. If you do have leftovers you can eat at room temp or reheat at 200 degrees in the oven for 5 minutes. 

I love making beignets at home but sometimes I don’t have the time or ingredients to make them from scratch.

These biscuit beignets are super easy to make with just a couple ingredients!

Separate your biscuits on a cutting board. Flatten with the back of your hand.

Using a Mickey cookie cutter, cut out one Mickey out of each biscuit.

Add oil to a pot. Heat over medium until around 370 degrees  (I check by adding the end of a wooden spoon in the oil to see if it bubbles).

Add 2 or 3 (depending on the size of your pot) biscuits to the oil at a time.  Do not overcrowd.

Cook until golden, flip and cook the other side.

You need to cook for at least a couple minutes so they are not doughy inside so adjust your temperate if they get too dark.

Remove to a paper towel  lined plate to drain and repeat with remaining biscuits. 

Time to get your sugar shaker!

You need at least 1/2 cup powdered sugar but I usually double it!

Add to a plate or paper bag like Disney and dust immediately with powdered sugar. 

Lots and lots of powdered sugar. 

These are best enjoyed hot and fresh and prepare to get messy!
