Children were mesmerised by the songs, magical choreography and special effects, but most of all by the interactive hosts, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
Four of our favourite Disney worlds come to life on the ice. Well-loved scenes from Toy Story, Cars, The Little Mermaid and the crowd favourite, Frozen, are included in the show. Elsa lead a chorus of children's voices belting out 'Let it go' almost lifting the roof of Johannesburg's TicketsPro Dome. As my friend and I are both Disney-freaks ourselves, we may have hummed a few bars, though the The Little Mermaid is way more our style. A particular highlight for my four year old boy was Lightening McQueen skidding across the ice and Mator's quirky antics had him giggling away.
All in all, a wonderful experience for all ages. It's very rare to find something fun for kids that is worth the ticket money and occupies them for a whole afternoon of school holidays! Parking was plentiful and efficient, with special parking for certain larger vehicles. Be aware of the stalls selling toys and Disney products – once your kid has hold of one, there's no turning back! We attended a midweek show where the crowd was probably smaller than the crowd that would attend on the weekend.
The show ran exactly on time and the intermission was approximately 10 minutes, so be early and anything you need to do, do it quickly! It was a great experience for all who love Disney. The look on your children’s faces as their favourite character comes on stage is priceless!
Disney on Ice now moves to GrandWest in Cape Town from the 6 - 10 July.
