Disney on Ice!

A couple of months ago we bought tickets to see Disney on Ice when it came to Memphis. We decided not to tell Caroline and make it one of our "surprise trips" I must admit that Dave and I were a little giddy with anticipation to see her face light up!



We told her we were going on a surprise trip and she kept guessing where, but of course she had no clue until we were actually there. It was pretty fun! Before the show they had a Princess "Pre-show" which was different princess' displays with their dresses and there were two real Princesses - Belle and Cinderella - there to wave and say hi to the kids!


She had this cheesey grin on her face the whole time! She was loving it!

In this picture she was saying, "I have that dress!!!"
Our seats were on the first row of the upper-level which I loved. There was glass in front of us, so Caroline could stand up throughout the show (because really, do you think she would have sat the whole time?)
(This one is a stock photo. I'm not that good with a camera. And it was hard to take pictures of the show because they were constantly moving!)
Caroline said her favorite part was Tinkerbelle. It really was good. The costumes and skating were very impressive.

Clutching her precious bag of over-priced cotton candy, but hey, how often do you eat cotton candy?! This is probably her second time ever!


Mater was slow enough to get a picture of!
My favorite character was Ursula because of her awesome costume! I couldn't believe how huge it was for one person to move so well!

"Wow!!!"

It was a great time and I'm so glad we did it. Maybe this will hold us off for Disneyland for a while!
Caroline did great. Really, I thought this could go either way. Either she could love it and be so into it that it would be all smiles and magic, OR she could be tired (it was during her usual "quiet/nap time") overstimulated and whiney. I was relieved she was the former! It was amazing for her and impressed David and I too!

I've never considered going to one of these shows. But I can see how my princess would love it. Hmmmm. . . Thanks for sharing with us. The photos are great.

Great seats. My roommates and I back in college went to Disney on Ice (I know...) but it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to take my kiddos! What a fun surprise!
