Thank you to Disney+ and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post.
Two words, really: The Mandalorian. We’re all — my boys, my husband, myself…everyone — is obsessed. The drop of a new weekly episode is a source of huge excitement over here.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well. The Mandalorian is a Star Wars original series (available only on Disney+). It takes place after the Empire has fallen (way past Return of the Jedi) and features a bounty hunter character and something that looks like…wait for it…a baby ____ (GAH! Just realized that finishing that sentence would give it away!)
Disney+: Our New Fav For Family Movie Nights
The series is too good for me to ruin it with a spoiler. Suffice to say that this show is our new favorite for family movie nights. The best is when we can hold off for a couple of weeks to save up a few new episodes in a row. SO much fun.

When Disney reached out asking if we would cover the launch of their new streaming service, Disney+, I was thrilled — and this was even before we knew about The Mandalorian. Disney+ can be streamed anytime, anywhere, and it’s now our go-to for family movie nights.

Not only does it have all of our favorite Disney movies, but there’s a section for Pixar, Marvel, and…dun dun dun…National Geographic documentaries!!




Just for fun, here’s a list of our favorite movies and shows available on Disney+:

Here’s to hot chocolate and snuggles on the couch, and LOTS of family movie nights. (And one tip for getting kids interested in documentaries: Tell them that there’s NO screen time that night. Play a board game and then say, “Well…I know there’s no screen time but we *could* watch this one documentary….”)
