Disney On Ice: Princess Wishes 3/12/11

When we heard that Disney On Ice: Princess Wishes was coming to town, I was VERY excited about taking my little Princess to it. Little did I know that my little Prince would want to go as well. So, we made it a family event, we even invite Grandma to go with us. :-) We thought this would be a good test/intro for our trip to Disney World (that they don't know about yet). So, as the day got closer, we talked with Samantha about it to get her ready. She was very excited when she got up this morning. She was even more excite about wearing her Cinderella dress to the show! We met Grandma in the walkway between the parking garage and the arena. While we waited, we used the time to take some cute pictures of our sweet Prince and Princess.Well, since we had Grandma with us, the kids got a little spoiled. ;-) Grandma bought Samantha a light-up crown an Marc a crown with Mickey ears attached to some cotton candy. I have very cute/handsome kids!
Our seats were in the 3rd row of the upper level. At first I was a little bummed that we were a little closer, but after we got there and the show started, I decided we had GREAT seats! We were high enough to be able to get a good view of the whole set, but not so high that all the skaters looked like ants. The show went through most of the "classic" Princess stories. Every time a new Princess came out, they waved at the audience. Samantha kept saying to me "Mommy, she wave at me!" and she would wave right back at them. VERY cute!!
Samantha loved watching all of the Princesses skate around. She loved the lights and colors. She loved the music so much that she bopped to it a lot of the time. She however, DIDN'T like the dragon (or "dinosaur" according to Samantha) from "Sleeping Beauty" that lit the ice on fire! Marc III an I thought otherwise, we thought it was cool!
Marc III was very cute throughout the show as well. He spent part of the time watching an trying to figure out how they did a lot of the "tricks" and special effects. My little thinker in action! ;-)

The show did "Aladdin", "Snow White", "Beauty and the Beast", "Mulan", "Sleeping Beauty", and "Cinderella". Tinkerbell, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy took turns introducing each of the stories. At the end of the show, all of the characters came back on the ice and all skate together.
It was a very fun show. We all enjoyed watching it as a family. It was a great introduction to our trip to Disney World this summer! :-)
