Ice Capades

Ever since returning from Disney World earlier this year Lacey likes to tell anyone who will listen that she went there. In particular she has some shoes that light up and are covered in glitter, and she stomps her feet so they’ll light up and people will ask her where they came from, “Disney World” she says with an air of confidence. I don’t have the heart to tell her that they actually came from some outlet shopping mall in Orlando, so Disney World it is.

When were were recently offered tickets to see Disney on Ice, we jumped at the chance even though it meant taking the trek to Newcastle to see the show.

While we waited for the doors to open we were amazed at how much paraphernalia there was to purchase and how families afforded to buy their children something {they’re never cheap} and pay for the tickets. Of course, we then bought Lacey a light-up wand for $26 and did as everyone else was doing. Suckers.

First up was the guys from Cars. Lacey hasn’t seen the movie, but she still thought they were pretty cool. I laughed because as adults you stop being awed by the amazingness {so a word} of everything and start to wonder how everything happens. “Do you think those are motorised?” I muttered to Hubby.

“I think there are people in them. I can see someone moving,” he informed me.

Lacey’s jaw dropped when this queen from Tinkerbell came out from the sky. She was amazed.

The show has a mix of Cars, Tinkerbell, Ariel the Mermaid and The Lion King, as well appearances from Mickey and Minnie & the gang. We enjoyed it, and Lacey had a blast.

If was a fun weekend, but after so many weekends away in a row… we’re looking for a bit of time at home over the next few weeks.

How did you spend your weekend? At home or away?

  2. Looks like a beautiful show. I still find myself in awe of children's productions and movies… like the kid in me will never truly fade :o)
    I had a lovely weekend thanks. A girl's night out, a play date with lots of lovely friends and sun soaked arvo in Centennial Park playing with all my boys xo

  3. I have such fond memories of going to Disney on Ice when I was young. Being a mum and going to these things is definitely the best part of the job….creating memories for them.

    I love home weekends….but not too many in a row. Weekends on the farm while the husbo is working quickly get very over-rated!!

  4. Raya loved it last year and she can't wait till we go to the Sydney show this year. We had a busy weekend including looking at a potential new house – lots of fingers and toes crossed in our world.

  5. oooh I'm taking Will on Friday. I'm so glad you mentioned that Mickey makes an appearance. He's not really into Cars (I know that's a little wierd for a 4yr old boy) but looooves Mickey so I was worried he'd be a little disappointed. Pleased you had a good time & a lovely weekend. x
