I think attending a Disney on Ice show is something every child should do at least once in their life.

Treasure Trove opened with the Incredibles getting the kids up and out of their seats, for a bit of stretching and movement- to some 80’s rock music, which is always amusing to me. As the skaters and kids bopped to “We got the Beat” and “Pump Up the Jam”, it hopefully got some of the wiggles out and got them ready to sit still for a bit. As the Incredibles made their exit, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy entered front and center to the delight of the kids.

Mickey and his buddies gave a short introduction to the show, and to the opening act- Alice in Wonderland. It’s not often that Alice makes an appearance, so we liked seeing her. There was of course, a “Mad” tea party, which was interrupted by some card soldiers and an every-petulant queen of hearts. We all enjoyed this act, the card soldiers spun about the ice, did some fun and military-looking marches/dances and the queen carried her well known pink-flamingo croquet mallet while chasing Alice and the poor White Rabbit about. Some “odd ticking” Alice noticed brought out the next act, Peter Pan (OK, the transitions were always a little…forced? But the kids don’t care or notice, and what kind of grown up goes to these for a theatrical experience? LOL Also, of course, most of the show is a mash-up of sorts of other Disney “on ice” shows, but the kids never notice or get tired of it- it is ALWAYS a treat and they love it every time. They just freshen up and mix them up, add the newest characters, and voila! Happy kids.)

Peter Pan was a fun act to watch- my favorite [Read more…]
