DISNEY ON ICE
ROUND TWO! 2023
Disney On Ice did not disappoint this year. We felt every magical vibe given off by our favorite characters. This year's show featured two of our favorites Frozen and Encanto! Hosted by Mickey and Minnie, your Disney OGs take a journey to sing and dance with Mirabel, her sisters, Isabela and Luisa and the entire family! We can't forget about the Ice Queen and it wouldn't be an ice show without Elsa! Mickey and Minnie are sure to join the race to find Elsa and stop the eternal winter, dream about summer with Olaf, and sing-along with Kristoff and Sven.
Remi will be three in April and this year I couldn't have been more excited to take her. She spends most of her days wearing her favorite blue frozen pajamas and singing countless versions of "Let It Go." In addition to our favorite Frozen characters, she is really into Disney princesses right now so this couldn't have been a more perfect show for her! We sat in section 110 on the lower level and I made sure to buy isle seats for an easy exit! There really isn't a bad seat during the show, the cast uses the entire ice featuring characters on stage and at elevated heights. What I thought was going to be just an ice skating show, was filled with tumbling, jumps, lifts and aerobatics.
Remi doesn't nap anymore but I still purchased the morning show time slot this year, we also went on a weekday which I found to be not as crowded and filled with kids her age since lets face it, they don't have school. The shows typically last 90-120 minutes. The arena was filled with kids (and parents - haha) wearing costumes or Disney themed outfits. The temperature of the stadium was comfortable and we were dressed appropriately in pants and sweatshirts. There is a small intermission so I made sure to pack a snack and treat to keep us occupied until the lights went back down and it was show time again. Cotton candy and snow cones were also available at the concession stands. If your kids are antsy, this is the perfect time to step out and take a lap around the arena.
Highly recommend this show for kids of all ages. I love it as an adult! It was magical to see the look on her face when her favorite characters joined the show. Remi sang all the songs this year spent the show lighting up her magic Elsa wand! Additional souvenirs are available for purchase to add to the memory. I love this tradition and look forward to it each year!
FIRST VISIT 2022 - 1 year old
No need to state the obvious, we love Disney. We often spend our evenings with Moana, Elsa and more recently Mirabel from Encanto. Last weekend we attended Mickey's Search Party presented by Disney on Ice. The story follows a series of clues to help Mickey and Minnie rescue Tinkerbell from evil Captain Hook. Attendees are asked to verbally participate by shouting out key words. Some of the favorite characters were featured including Mickey, Minnie, Miguel from Coco, The Toy Story cast, Moana, Elsa from Frozen, Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Genie from Aladdin. The transitions between themes were quick and seamless. All three of us had a blast!
Remi will be two in April and I was hesitant to get tickets in fear she would not want to sit and watch the show or not be engaged. Spoiler alert, she LOVED it! For younger ages, I would recommend purchasing tickets close to the ice. I think if we had been further back, she may not have been as engaged as she was. We sat in section 102 on the lower level and I made sure to buy isle seats for an easy exit! There really isn't a bad seat during the show, the cast uses the entire ice featuring characters on stage and at elevated heights. What I thought was going to be just an ice skating show, was filled with tumbling, jumps, lifts and aerobatics.
I purchased the morning show time slot since she takes her nap in the afternoon. The shows typically last 90-120 minutes. Tons of kids were in attendance and wearing costumes or Disney themed outfits. I was worried about the temperatures and that it would be chilly since the show takes place in an ice arena, but the room was very comfortable. We were fine in pants and sweatshirts. There is a small intermission so I made sure to pack a snack and treat to keep us occupied until the lights went back down and it was show time again. Cotton candy and snow cones were also available at the concession stands. If your kids are antsy, this is the perfect time to step out and take a lap around the arena.
Highly recommend this show even for younger kids around Remi's age. It was magical to see the look on her face when her favorite characters joined the show. Souvenirs are available for purchase to add to the memory. The performance was perfect and kept her engaged. We cannot wait to go back next year!
