Last night we went to Disney on Ice: World of Fantasy (Ticket Information for Kansas City Show through Mar. 20)!
We started our night with a pre-show "Disney Dinner." Emily planned the menu: Mickey Chicken Nuggets (available at Target), Mickey Mouse homemade Mac N Cheese (pasta at Target), Rainbow Fruit Salad (picture below), Hot Dogs (tribute to "Hot Diggity Dog" song on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Princess Wands (chocolate dippped pretzel sticks with sprinkles) and a Rice Krispy Treat Castle Cake (used castle cake pan we had from Cinderella birthday party). We used Mickey paper goods, sent an evite to grandparents to join us, and the girls dressed up as a Princess and Minnie Mouse. We had a blast! I love to make fun events "extra special" and I especially like to do it affordably. The girls and I prepared all the food together and they had almost as much fun before the show as they did at the show!
We went to the Sprint Center early for the Princess Preshow. Disney set up exhibits for each princess with her dress and a few mementos. Then Cinderella and Tiana took turns for photographs (note: You can take photos of the Princesses and your child "watching the Princess" but you don't get pictures with the princesses.).
When the show began, Kayla was on the edge of her seat cheering and clapping for Mickey Mouse (her favorite)! The show included Cars, Lion King, Little Mermaid, and Tinker Bell. The animated characters for Cars were ingenious and the scene was just long enough to be fun for the kids, but not too long as that particular scene was all about the cars and didn't include skaters.
Little Mermaid was next with a colorful and well choreographed adventure "Under the Sea." This was Emily's favorite part and I can see why! It included big dance numbers and the loveable familiar Flounder and Sabastian dancing with Ariel.
The Lion King performance was beautifully done and the choreography for the animals was visually stunning. It was magnificent to watch the wildebeast, giraffes, zebras, and other animals portrayed through ice dancing.
Tinker Bell was the grand finale and it was GRAND! With flying, glitter, and numerous special effects and beautiful costumes adding to the ice skating, this was the best part of the show. The final scene was gorgeous... and of course, Mickey, Minnie and the Gang were back for the finale bringing tremendous joy to my daughters and all of the children in the audience who left cheering for more!
We had a fantastic time and can't wait for next year! You can still buy Tickets for the Kansas City Disney on Ice Show!
Bonus Tips:
Concessions and Souvenirs are expensive at live shows. You can purchase Disney light up toys at Target or the Dollar Tree for much less and the Quik Trip at the Sprint Center sells juice for just 99cents!
