Last week we went out for a Disney filled evening of fun to see Disney on Ice World of Enchantment at the Manchester Arena, I must admit I really wasn’t sure if it was wise to take a 9 month old along to such an event, especially now he can crawl and doesn’t want to sit still, but I’m such a big kid we couldn’t not go!
I was already prepared to leave early in the event that Taylor were to become restless or start screaming bloody murder whilst everyone is singing princess songs. To my amazement he was content for the entire two hours, if anything he was in awe and spent much of the show watching intently.
Hosted by the lovely Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who were also joined by their friends Donald and Goofy, the first half of the show was Toy Story themed and followed the story from the 3rd film. This meant we got to see big old grumpy Lotso Huggin Bear bounce around on Ice Skates, it was brilliant! There was also a very entertaining Sheriff Woody who was a pro on skates.
The show included acts from The Little Mermaid, which Taylor surprisingly seemed to enjoy the most, and Cars. Before the one every little princess was waiting for, Frozen! I was curious as to how such acts would work on the ice but the entire concept worked really well and each film was portrayed exceptionally well.
The show was funny, entertaining and overall made for a very enjoyable evening. It’s certainly something I would like to do again with Taylor once he is older and can remember the experience, but that didn’t stop him from having a fantastic time.
As a huge fan of Disney myself I had such a great time, I thought the performances were acted out perfectly and seeing them on ice was just that little bit more magical.
