When Disney Plus announced they would be releasing Hamilton on their streaming service I about lost it. If anyone knows me knows I LOVE Lin Manual Miranda which means I love anything and everything he creates. That obviously includes his hit Broadway show Hamilton.
If you live under a rock Hamilton is based on the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton told by a mix of African American, Latinos and Asian actors. The beautifully created music is a mix of Jazz, Hip Hop and the best rap battles you have ever seen.
It is a fantastic movie that keeps you on your toes from beginning to end. It will make you want to stand up and sign your heart out. It is beautiful and tragic and Lin Manual Miranda is fantastic as not only the creator of the show but as Alexander Hamilton.

It has been a blogging goal to be invited to a Disney Premiere! So I decided to create my only little viewing party for my family and I. Of course I created themed meals filled with puns and bought t-shirts for the kids to wear while we watched Hamilton opening night.
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating
I tried to keep the menu simple but easy for me to create puns for. I had my spouse help me out and I’m pretty proud of what we came up with!
For Breakfast I made homemade donuts for the kids. these were simple easy and delicious.
DoughNOT Throw Away Your Shot
Recipe:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit
- 1/2 stick butter
- frosting and topping of choice
Directions:
Open and separate canned biscuit and create a hole in center to represent a donut. I used my air fryer but you can bake according to package directions for your oven. Place a couple in your air fryer at 375 degrees and cook for 5 mins. turn halfway through. Let cool. Top with favorite toppings and enjoy!
Lunch was simple but I had to go with it after my Father In Law came up with the pun.
HAMilton and Cheese Sandwiches
Recipe:
- Bread of Choice
- Ham
- Mayo
- Cheese
Assemble and enjoy with fruit as a side.
My dinner spread was the main event. My goal for dinner was your stereotypical American food you’d see at a BBQ. Burgers, fries, apple pie the whole nine. So I came up with cute puns to match and I’m pretty proud of myself.
BURRgers and Fries UP!
3 Fundamental Fruits At The Exact Same time
As a healthier side I made a fruit salad with red, white and blue fruits to match what I named it.
For Dessert I made Apple Pie. I went the easy route and bought pre-made pie dough but if you have time you can make your own from scratch.
Apple PIEler Sisters
Recipe:
- 4 Green Apples
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- store bought pie crust
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup light bown sugar

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Peel and cut apples and place in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until incorporated. Roll out your pie crust and place at the bottom of a 9 – inch pie dish. fill will apple filling and top with the second pie crust.
You can do whatever you want on top to make your pie look nice but I just added a couple stars to go with the theme.
Egg wash crust and place in oven at 400 degrees and bake for 30-45 mins until top is golden brown. Let cool and enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
It was simple but all was delicious and we enjoyed the show! I really hope you get a chance to watch Hamilton. It is just a magical experience and I couldn’t be happier that Disney is a part of it.
