Hi Everyone,
Last night we had the most magical time at Disney On Ice at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle . We have been going to see this show every year for the last ten years so we were very excited to see this once again.
We say this after every production but this was the best one yet. The sets and costumes are just amazing, the skill of the skaters is world class and the way they tell the story is just wonderful. The whole show is mesmerising from beginning to end.
What we love about Disney on Ice is that it's a show for everyone, the adults love it just as much as the kids. Toddlers and teens, boys and girls, they all sing-a-long with massive smiles on their faces. It's absolutely joyous.
The shows usually last around 2 hours and the venue is pretty good at getting people in and out. We always arrive early so we can avoid any queues and get settled before the show starts. Doors typically open one hour before show time.
One of the main questions people ask about is the price of the merchandise. It is on the expensive side but it's also very good quality. Flashy lights are around £25. My youngest has a Mikey light we bought several years ago which still works perfectly and always comes along to the shows with us. Snow cone cups start at £10 and again really stand the test of time. We were a little disappointed this year as we actually own all the cups so couldn't add another to our collection but got a drinking bottle instead, which is great for avoiding snow cone spillages.
We did purchase the candy floss with a crown for £11. The crown is very well made and looks really lovely as it has Mickey ears, jewels and padding on the inside. This will definitely be used again. Buckets of popcorn were £12 and again the bucket is lovely with an embossed Mickey head and a lid so ideal for pens etc. All merc comes with 2 year guarantee aswell which always comes in handy when little ones are involved.
