1st Theme Sparks: Happiness is anything that's loved by you
Snoopy and his adorable friends are around you.
Get ready
What is the theme & story for this week?
I am sure you recognize who are these cute guys in the picture above. 🤗 (If you are not familiar with them, don’t worry! Peanuts will help you get to know them.) For the first theme sparks letter, I want to create something joyful with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and their lovely friends. 😘 🐶 👏
In theme parks, theme and story play the most vital role in creating the whole experience. As Imagineers said, really great stories have a deeper meaning behind them called a theme. The theme is the unifying idea: that the story is about. It will be the standard for decision-making from start to end.1
For me, Snoopy’s theme is happiness with your loved ones. It reminds me of happy memory with my friends and family. What do you think? There are no wrong answers. Imagine whatever you like!
Who are you in this story?
What is your role in the story? Are you like Charlie Brown, Lucy or Snoopy? Or another new character that you have imagined? You can be anyone you want. 👑
Let theme spark in your everyday life
Experience 1. Decorate your room
There are so many great ideas that make your room more warm and cozy with Snoopy and his friends. For inspiration, I want to share the adorable snoopy-themed space, Peanuts hotel in Japan. As you see below, not only the cartoon’s image itself but also the signature color and shape remind me of Snoopy. How about you? If you want, you can bring many items of Snoopy all over the spaces. However, it is also enough to add some sweet and little colorful decor.
Experience 2. Smell and taste
Remember, unlike watching TV 🖥 or reading a book 📖, going to theme parks give you a multi-sensory experience. It is essential to use all of the senses such as music, smell, touch, etc. 🎼 🎉 🍰 👍
Here are some lovely themed treats inspired by the Peanuts and gang. You can add a design to pudding cups and chicken nuggets. It is super simple! For more information about the cutest snoopy lunch box recipe, check Trish’s website (here). All you need is love! 😍
Experience 3. Discover hidden friends surrounding you.
If you live in Minnesota, it is perfect timing to meet Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and his friends around your home. As you may know, Charles M. Schulz (the creator of the comic strip Peanuts) was born in Minneapolis and he spent much of his childhood life in Saint Paul. It is my favorite moment to discover these adorable character’s statues when I was taking a walk in a neighborhood. Let’s explore your city! Even though you are not living in Twin Cities, I am sure that you can find Peanuts’ gang around you.
