Disney On Ice- the Disneyland Substitution


As I mentioned in a previous post, I was a little bit devastated about the cancelled Disneyland trip- due to my faulty back.
Ida Mae was incredibly kind, and decided to take our family to see Disney On Ice as an alternative. The kids were excited, but unsure of what it would mean for them. Isaiah asked if he would slip on the ice, but was relieved when we told him that it was like a show, or play where they performed on the ice.
We left with plenty of time to spare but unfortunately there was an accident on the Freeway and all the side roads were
bumper to bumper for at least an hour. We finally got there 15 minutes after the show started but we were able to run straight in.



































The seats were great- they were close to the front and central so that we felt like we were part of the action.
Just as we arrived, the show was up to a Halloween themed segment, where all the bad characters from all the Disney movies were singing and dancing. Isaiah turned to me and said that it was a bit scary! I guess the kids had no idea what to expect, so they weren't sure why the show was all about the scary characters!
Once the princes and princesses came onto the stage they were pretty excited, but the favourite for Isaiah was the Toy Story Characters. I couldn't work out how the guy in the pig suit was skating on all fours, and who was in the troll doll suit- a midget skater?
Isaiah spent much of the show turning to me and saying "That move was very difficult" or "That must have been hard".
The skating was very impressive, especially considering some of those characters can't have had much field of vision.



































































Intermission was pretty exciting as Ida Mae bought the kids some very cool treats and after the show she bought them each a toy to remember the event.
On the car ride home the kids spent the time hitting each other with their new spinning toys and Chelsea almost lost a section of hair in her twirly, light-up thing.
We all had a great day, until we walked into the house to find a VERY unhappy puppy.... and a very messy laundry......... and that is all I will say about that. ;)

  2. Looked like lots of fun. I can't get over the difference in the girls hair, especially Isabelle's. I think I need to move to Utah too.

  3. I know... Isabelle has semi straight hair, and Chelsea's is really well behaved here. The only problem is that the dry air makes Isabelle's hair very static prone... which leads to lots of tangles. So good for my hair but bad for Isabelles.
