As a child, my family went to Walt Disney World almost every summer. During the winter, I also have fond memories of going to see Disney On Ice. My husband and I would love to go to Disney World each year, but it is not in the finances right now. We have been lucky and gone to see Disney on Ice at our local arena several times with our oldest son. Last year, my parents and I brought my oldest son. This was just around the time that we booked our first family trip to Walt Disney World for May.

We saw the 100 Years of Magic show and it was amazing. I loved watching my son’s face as he saw the stage on the ice for the first time, and then witnessed all of the familiar characters skate by. Nana and Papa even splurged and bought him some Mickey binoculars.

I was recently asked by Mom Central to participate in a Disney on Ice Blog Tour to share information about their latest tours on behalf of Feld Entertainment. As a parent, I can stand behind this show because it was well worth the money and the show is a class act. Everyone big and small will be mesmerized with the shows.
