Are you going to see Disney Planes Fire & Rescue this weekend? We’ll be there!
To say my son, Gavin loves airplanes, would be an understatement. There isn’t a day that goes by when discussing planes or something that flies isn’t part of our conversation and aviation is a staple in almost every play activity. This seven-year-old boy goes through flying toys as if he’s changing clothing. It’s not because he doesn’t take care of his toys, he wears them out or the plane gets stuck in a tree. With the movie release of Disney Planes last year (see my review here), Gavin’s love of airplanes unbelievably grew and he immediately started asking when Planes Fire & Rescue would be in the theater. Well, the movie release week has finally arrived!
To celebrate this exciting event I put together a couple “Free Printable” Planes-inspired items that I created and party planning tips to help you host a Pre-Show “Flying High with a Pizza Pie” Planes Party for your little aviators and their friends!
Planes Themed Pizza!
There are so many different types of pizza that you can have at a pizza party! Try offering the kids specialty pizza and place these silly menu cards close by. It’ll give young readers a chuckle or two before choosing their pizza.
- Chicken Wing-man Pizza
- Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo Flying Pizza
- Ham & Cheesy Flight Attendants Pizza
- Pepperoni Pie In The Sky Pizza
- Flying High Cheese Pizza Pie
I’ve created this set of FREE printable pizza party menu cards for you to use. (For Personal Use Only) Simply print the Planes Pizza Party file (found below) on white card stock, cut the orange and blue colored cards out and fold along the white line.
Click on the Planes “Pizza Party Menu Cards” link for the five piece printable menu cards.
Dessert!
I made these Planes-inspired cupcakes for my son’s birthday party last year. Check out the super simple cloud icing tutorial for these soaring cupcakes here!
Another Planes-inspired dessert option are these Dusty Cookie Pops. You can see my simple tutorial here!
Decor! {Free Printable Template}
Now that you’ve got the food covered, time to decorate the food table! Add a simple planes garland to the front of your food table, to complete your pizza party table.
You can download the airplane template here!
Trace the template on orange and blue card stock for the airplanes to match the menu cards. Then add blue and orange table wear and your party will be soaring!

Now you’re ready to have the perfect Pre-show Planes-inspired Pizza Party! Enjoy your party and then off to show!
This past weekend my son, Gavin, and I saw Disney’s newest film, “Big Hero 6.” We loved it! Baymax was Gavin’s favorite hero. A funny robot with a kindness that’s pure with selflessness, Baymax has won my heart too.
Next I applied white icing to each cupcake.
