Great fun at Mickey and Minnies Magical Journey

We caught Disney on Ice presents Mickey and Minnies Magical Journey at the Rogers Centre during the winter break. I thought it might be too young for my two boys - but they really enjoyed it. The mix of stories was just perfect - plenty of stuff for both boys and girls.

My personal fav was the Peter Pan sequence where they flew in and landed on the ice, and included a pirate ship and huge alligator. My seven year old really liked Stitchand the Lion King which was very colourful. The Littlest Mermaid performance had lot's of appeal for the girls in the audience, but also included an enormous inflatable Ursula that my boys thought was pretty cool. The sets and costumes were the best I have seen yet for one of the Disney on Ice shows, a trend I hope continues for the upcoming shows. We'll be checking out Toy Story 3 over the March Break - so I'll keep you posted on that.

The Disney on Ice shows are always entertaining though, very creative use of the ice and show area. I'm amazed at quickly they switch between costumes and fly around the ice. It's great fun... and really appeals to a large age group.
