Nya loved the Max & Ruby Ballet that we went to a few weeks ago (I had won tickets!) so I decided to take Nya to Disney on Ice. We went this afternoon as it was an 11:30 am show which would be way better than a 7 pm one for her!
{She LOVES the hand clasp. When she sits on my lap, we do this with both hands.}
She was very excited to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She doesn't know very many characters so if I were to go again, I'd wait until she knew all the princesses and more Disney characters. Or, I'd just teach her the songs...she LOVES to dance along to the music.
Do you see her adorable purple pea coat? It's a MEXX one that I got second hand. It's size 3-4T so it's too big for her but I had to put her in it. Purple is her favourite colour.
It's a tad bit overwhelming with all of the merchandise. I'm the super lame mom who bought the cheapest tickets ($15 for her + fees = $25 and mine came to about $40), brought a few of my own snacks, and didn't buy her toys/cups/dolls. She didn't ask either.
It was good. I don't love shows (GASP! I know.) but Nya loved it. She watched the full two hours and didn't want to leave our seats during intermission because she wanted to see Mickey and Minnie again. The one sequence I didn't love was the Halloween one and it was a bit scary too. She was fine but it wasn't fun and beautiful which is what she loves. I think we loved Minnie in her princess dress the best.
I think it's a one time thing for me but I'm glad we went! She really enjoyed it and it's fun to do something different with her. It's been a lot of football/cars/hockey around here for years so adding in some Cinderella and Minnie Mouse keeps things interesting. She hasn't watched any of the Disney movies yet, I wonder what would be a good one to start with....any ideas?
Love,
Louise
