Picture this: You’re planning a baby shower for your best friend who grew up watching The Lion King on repeat, cried through every Pixar movie, and still believes in fairy tales.
Why settle for generic baby blocks when you could throw a celebration that brings all that Disney magic to life?
I’m absolutely obsessed with Disney-themed baby showers because they tap into something special—that sense of wonder and possibility that perfectly mirrors the excitement of welcoming a new baby.
Plus, Disney offers endless creative options whether you’re working with a tiny budget or ready to go all-out.
From subtle nods to favorite characters to full-blown themed transformations, these ideas will help you create a shower that guests will remember long after the last present is unwrapped.
Let me walk you through 15 Disneyland baby shower ideas that’ll have everyone saying “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!” (And yes, I’m including all the practical details because I know you’re juggling a million things right now.)
Classic Mickey & Minnie Mouse Theme
There’s something timelessly perfect about Mickey and Minnie for baby showers. These characters work beautifully whether you’re expecting a boy, girl, or keeping it a surprise, and honestly, who doesn’t smile when they see those iconic mouse ears?
Image Prompt: A cheerful Mickey Mouse baby shower dessert table featuring red, black, yellow, and white color scheme. Show a three-tier cake with Mickey’s glove-shaped fondant decorations, cupcakes topped with edible mouse ears, and cookies shaped like Mickey’s head. Include red and white polka dot tablecloth, yellow balloons, and small Mickey plush toys as decorations. Bright, playful atmosphere with confetti scattered on the table.
How to Do It
- Start with the color palette: Red, black, yellow, and white create that classic Disney feel
- DIY Mickey ear headbands for all guests using felt, headbands, and hot glue (takes about 2 hours for 20 headbands, costs around $25)
- Create a photo backdrop using large black circles for Mickey’s head shape—cardboard works great and runs about $15
- Serve Mickey-shaped foods: Use circle cookie cutters for sandwiches, arrange three circular crackers as cheese appetizers, or find Mickey-shaped pasta (yes, it exists!)
- Print free Mickey silhouettes online to make banners, cupcake toppers, and place cards
- Pro tip: Dollar stores often carry Mickey merchandise for a fraction of theme party store prices
