Disney on Ice

For Celeste's birthday we bought her tickets to Disney on Ice. We knew that she would love it and Eddie would love at least the Cars part, so we took the whole family. We should have forseen the fact that Gordon can't sit still for that long so he needed a babysitter, but other than that, it was a great time.

We got there early so we could take pictures of the princesses. The new princess, Tiana (I think) was there and Cinderella was there to take pictures of. We also took pictures of some of the princesses dresses and walked around a looked at all of the horribly expensive stuff that Disney so evily tries to sell to your kids knowing that your kids will throw a tantrum if they don't get their own way! Then we found our seats and the fun began!
Eddie loved the cars and both kids sang the songs from cars. Then The Little Mermaid came out. After that was The Lion King. Then there was an intermission, but poor Celeste didn't understand that there was a second half, so she thought we had to leave without seeing Tinker Bell. Poor girl, she was in tears and didn't want to get up, but really we just had her get up to go to the bathroom before the second half. After we explained things she was happy again and the second half was just as great as the first half. Celeste sang all of the songs from Tinker Bell and loved with Tinker Bell got to fly. Of course Mickey and Minnie were a favorite for both of our kids as well. Kyle said he was surprise at how good it was. I don't know why he wouldn't have liked it, it's Disney and it's expensive. If you have to pay for it, you better be able to enjoy it!!
The whole night was so much fun. Celeste was in heaven (if she tells you about it be sure to listen because this was her special thing!) and Eddie loved the part he actually saw! Gordon liked the music to begin with and danced during most of The Little Mermaid. We were able to get the tickets at a discounted rate and I think that we will definitely have to do it again sometime because we all had so much fun. (Next time we will leave the baby at home though - heads up Mom and Dad!!)
