Disney on Ice - Pinocchio performance, so fun!


A couple weeks ago, we took Elise to her first Disney on Ice performance. We went to watch Disney on Ice presents 100 Years of Magic, which included an entire array of Disney characters and memorable movie scenes brought to life on ice skates. This was Elise's first real Disney experience, and what a treat it was! The show was amazing, the performers were flawless, and there were even moments when ice from the rink flew into the crowd. Elise loved that part. It was such fun, and a great first introduction to the live world of Disney, which can be a bit overwhelming for kids. Elise enjoyed the show, but it took her a while to warm up. Of course, by the end of the performance she was smiling and waving to all the characters and wanting more. We are planning our first family trip to Disneyland this December, so this was a nice mini-introduction to all the fun.
