Rev up your engines, we’re going full throttle to share with you our colorful and fun Disney Cars party!
With the new Cars 3 movie coming out this Friday, I surprised the kids with a Cars party and movie night to get us ready.
Our friends at LEGO sent us one of the brand new Disney Cars LEGO sets for my Cars-loving son to play with!
I even incorporated them into our Disney Cars party after my son put them together.
LEGO toys are fun to play with, but did you know that they make great cake toppers too?
If you want a cute cake, but don’t want to fuss with all the frosting details, just buy a plain store-bought cake and dress it up with LEGO toys!
If you’re going to have a Cars movie night, then you definitely need popcorn.
I placed a cake stand inside a big drink tub, filled a the tub with lots of popcorn, then placed the Disney Cars LEGO cake on top.
I love the fun texture and look that this gave the cake, and we all loved how it tasted!
To serve the popcorn, we used some plastic orange cones turned upside down from Oriental Trading.
I printed out some Dinoco labels, even though I’m a Rust-eze girl myself. 😉
I couldn’t resist that bold Dinoco label that matches the cones perfectly!
Did you notice the cans that the popcorn tub and cake were on top of?
These are vintage motor oil can labels that a designer reproduced and shared as a printable.
I love the bright colors and graphic style they add to the party!
To wash that popcorn down, I had cold bottles of Rust-eze bumper ointment (aka root beer) available for all the thirsty cars.
I found the free labels here.
Now for one of my favorite parts of our Disney Cars party- the donut cars!
I found some awesome cars party favor boxes and assembled them.
I placed two big chocolate donuts on either end of a large pretzel rod to create wheels for the cars.
Why have regular wheels when you can have donut wheels, right?!
The kids loved our donut cars and loved the fact that part of them were edible!
Did you notice Lightning McQueen’s number 95 on the side of the red donut car?
That was another printable I printed, cut, and taped onto the side of the car to make it look more like Lightning.
We had some healthy watermelon too in some race car cups, along with some fresh mint leaves I had left over from my fruit ice video.
Just add a race car flag at the top for more cars party fun!
More Dinoco cones were also lined up at the back of the party table.
I poked out the top of one of the cones on each side and added some black and white checkered racing flags in through the tops of the cones.
A black and white checkered racing flag bunting was also hung across the front of the party table to add to the Disney cars party and racing theme.
Because so much of the first Cars movie takes place in Radiator Springs, I added a couple of cactus plants to the table because they reminded me of the city.
The blue sky backdrop with clouds also reminded me of Lightning McQueen racing through the desert, and was the perfect background for the party.
I even placed a cactus and donut car on the top of the cake at first, but ended up using the LEGO cars instead.
I hope you enjoyed our Disney Cars party as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
We can’t WAIT to see the new Disney Cars 3 movie!
