Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic Performance

Last night, my family and I had the chance to go see Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic at the St. Charles Family Arena. It was fantastic! There were a lot of wonderful ice skaters dressed as everyone's favorite Disney characters.

My little guy was in awe. He couldn't take his eyes off the ice. When is was time for the intermission, he yelled "Come back!" His absolute favorite characters were Nemo, Dory, Mickey Mouse & Goofy. He didn't want to leave when the show was over.

I thought they did a wonderful job of keeping the show interesting to kids as well as adults. The costumes were as real to the characters we all know and love as they could be. The ice skating was really great. I am a huge fan of ice skating. It is a very beautiful, elegant sport.

It is definitely worth the cost to go to the show. It is about 2 hours long and very fun to watch the entire time! Visit their website to see when it is playing in your town. If you live in St. Louis, there is still one day left for you to see the show.

Below is a video/photo slideshow of the show that we attended Friday night. This is only a small portion of the cool things we saw. If you have gone to the show this year, leave a comment and let me know what you thought of it!

Dear Readers

Hey all, just thought I would pop in and let you know what has been up with me. I had one crazy, busy week this week. I have been fighting a back injury and had to attend rigorous physical therapy this week which were sometimes quite painful and other times relieving. I also had sorority recruitment this week. I am advisor for Zeta Tau Alpha at UMSL and helped them with their recruitment this week. They did an awesome job and got new girls that I think will really shine! So, needless to say, I was way too busy this week to have any me time or time to blog for you all. I promise things will be back to normal by Sunday! I may take tomorrow to recouperate but watch for awesome stuff to be posted Sunday. I hope you all had a great week. Feel free to leave a comment on how you have been. I love to hear from my readers!

By the way, if you live in St. Louis, be sure to go see Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic at the St. Charles Family Arena. I went with my family tonight and it was AWESOME! The performances were spectacular and the outfits were very cool. I will post more about it tomorrow!
