Disney On Ice!

A few weeks ago I was looking through the newspaper and saw an advertisement for Disney On Ice.  It was in town over the weekend and since it fell so close to Lila's birthday, I knew that should be our present to her.  I had no idea how cool it would be though!

We got there in plenty of time and she kept talking non-stop about what was behind the big curtain.  She was ready for the show.

At 5:30 on the dot, out came Minnie, Mickey...

Donald and Goofy!  They were the hosts of the show and such a fun way to start things off.  The first big act was about to rock Lila's world.

"Mom, it's Ariel!"  And cute Flounder, too:)

We loved watching Sebastian dance with Ariel's mermaid friends...

and the Starfish busted a move, too.

Then mean old Ursula came out and Lila got a little worried.  She must have asked about the "mean lady" 22 times after she had left the stage!

Ariel did lots of cool tricks, including this one that was very high in the air.

The second princess to come out was Rapunzel and her seriously long hair.

Lila tried her best to get Rapunzel's attention!

She loved this part, too, especially since it featured an ice-skating horse.

By intermission both kids had declared it "Good!" and "Very cool!"

After a short break, it was time to bring out Merida from Brave.  The dancing kilted men were neat...

but not near as awesome as when Merida shot an arrow and hit the bullseye, which triggered these fireworks.  It was so cool!

The last of the princesses to come out was Belle.  She and Gaston sang a few entertaining songs...

and then the Beast arrived!  He was intimidating, for sure, but Lila assured me that "he's not really mean."

We loved watching and singing along to "Be our Guest."

And cheered when the Beast turned back into the handsome prince and danced with Belle.

Goodbye princesses and princes, Minnie, Mickey and the whole crew!

We loved the show...



and it was a whole lot cheaper than a trip to Disney World!
