MOM REVIEW
Disney on Ice has been a family-favorite since I was a little girl, with fond memories of taking photos with princesses and devouring icees. Disney still brings ALL the magic to the ice rink and the same delicious treats. With that said, it can be a small fortune with all of the extra toys, popcorn buckets, bubble wands, tiaras and more.
Children are encouraged to wear their prince and princess costumes and accessories which helps the wallet a bit. Families can also purchase souvenir photos with Mirabel from $25-35 and souvenir cups for $11.
At the gate, Heritage Bank Center is strictly enforcing the bag policy. No backpacks or large purses, only wallets and diaper bags if you have a baby with you. We saw many parents being turned away with larger bags so leave these at home!
As for the show itself, Disney on Ice is always so captivating with fun props for children and adults. The first 45 minutes, Elsa and Anna take the rink to show their way through the coronation and Hans’ plan to overtake Arrendelle. A brief intermission allows for potty breaks before the show finishes out another 45 minutes with Mirabel and her siblings, proving to Grandma that you’re special even if you don’t have a gift.
Throughout the performance, watch as Isabela and Mirabel take to the sky with aerial tricks, experience snow falling several times during Frozen, see pieces of the Madrigal house breaking off in real time and be surprised by pops of firecrackers and a huge ring of fire by the one and only Bruno!
In the end, audiences will learn that everyone has their own gifts, magical or not, and being true to yourself and loving those around you is what makes you special. YOU are the magic!
