A few weeks ago I won the free tickets to see Disney On Ice – Celebration. I have to admit that I didn’t plan to go see this show if I didn’t win the free tickets. I thought it will be one of those kiddies show for smaller kids.
I’m glad I have a chance to prove myself wrong. Both Miss J and Mr. Z were so into the show, they didn’t even move once during the show.
Just like other family shows, there will be a lot of opportunity for parents to drop their money even before the show starts. I have learned to just walk really fast so the kids will miss all those toys. :) Ok.. Ok.. I’m a mean mom but hey we gotta watch what we are spending. And really, why do I want to spend $15 for a mug when I can get it for 70% less in Disney outlet stores.
The show was centered around ‘Celebration’. We got to meet many many Disney Characters from princesses, Mickey and friends, Villains, old characters with upcoming movies like Toy Story casts to new characters with upcoming movies like Princess and the Frogs.
Another great thing I like about this show is it’s not just for girls. If you say Ice Skating, you will associate with girly show. But this show has something for everyone. Kids who are not into princesses will be excited to meet villains or Toy Story characters.
I’m also excited to meet Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from upcoming new Disney Movie – Princess and the Frog. This new movie brings a lot of buzz because it’s the first time that Disney introduces African American Princess. Bravo to them. I will say it’s about time! I also love that the show features New Orleans – one of the city that I really want to visit.
But I think this man might be one of my kids’ favorite person in the whole arena. Who could resist the man with many many bags of cotton candy.
And even being frugal parents, we sometimes have to give in. The show was almost 2 hours long so sugar might not seem like a healthy choice but the most suitable choice to give them little sugar boost.
I love the fact that the show also takes us to different cultures (as much as you can get for an ice skating show) from Hawaii, Japan, China to New Orleans.
So if Disney On Ice will be visiting your city, I would highly recommend this fun family-friendly show to anyone. I wouldn’t think it will be worth the ticket price but I was wrong. My kids didn’t move once!!! They were so mesmerized with the show the whole time. That’s something we don’t experience everyday here at the Q family. :)
Disclosure:
I won the free tickets from local blogger. But they never ask us to write about the experience in exchange of the tickets.

Sounds like an interesting show. I’ll have to see when it’s coming to San Diego.
Disney characters and cotton candy? Oh, I bet your little ones were in hog heaven. Cute!
We went to a Disney on Ice show a few years ago, and I ended up buying a 20 dollar plastic shark/Nemo toy. I still can’t believe I got suckered into that. But the shows are cool for kids, I agree.
It sounds like you had a fabulous time! My husband and I took our 3 girls to a Disney on Ice show and they loved it as well. It is so fun to go to places that are new and entertaining. And I was just like you, my kids didn’t even get the cotton candy. Like you said you can buy it way cheaper at the Disney Store.

Sounds like fun! Isn’t it great when something turns out even better than you expected?
It sounds like a great show! I like your trick of walking very fast to avoid the toy and gadget stalls…I do the same, unfortunately these stalls are everywhere so you need to be really skilled at avoiding them:)
we saw disney on ice 100 yrs of magic last month and loved it! i was amazed at the huge displays of stuff for sale, too. hoo boy. still, wasn’t the skating amazing? great photos!
What a great show. I can’t wait until my daughter is older to watch this show with her.
I don’t have kids, so I doubt I’d ever end up at the show…but getting a peek at it here was fun :)
Looks like that best way to spend an evening…what a great prize to win!
I think I would enjoy something like this even without my kids….. but I live too far from a real city!
