Today we had a family adventure in the big city, where we saw Disney On Ice Presents: Dare To Dream at the Rogers Centre – courtesy of Disney Junior Canada.
If your kids are Disney Princess lovers like mine, they won’t be disappointed by these on-ice musical retellings of Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel and more.
Here’s how Disney describes Dare To Dream:
Classic meets contemporary in Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream! Join your favourite Disney Princesses in a celebration of 75 years of Disney Princess stories, including two-modern day princesses, Rapunzel and Tiana; the always elegant Cinderella; and the princess who started it all, Snow White. Laugh at Disney’s hilarious hair-raising escapade, Tangled, as Rapunzel; her unlikely companion, Flynn; and Maximus, the Captain of the Guard’s determined horse; embark on an uproarious journey that takes adventure to new lengths! Travel to the enchanted forest with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as Snow White escapes from the Evil Queen in her search for her one true love. Watch as fanciful dreams become reality as Cinderella meets her Prince Charming, with a glass slipper fit for an unforgettable fantasy come true. And boogie to the beat of the bayou in a magical, musical journey that celebrates the story of The Princess and the Frog with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. All your favourite princesses take to the ice in a spectacular finale at the ultimate Disney Princess event of a lifetime! Experience the beauty, sparkle, and spirit when Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream comes to your hometown!
When we first announced the surprise outing to the girls, my husband thought our nine-year-old was a bit less authentic in her joy than her younger sister (as she is starting to outgrow the princess phase) but as soon as the lights came up at the end she turned to me and said, “Well, that was fantastic!” Her sister’s assessment: “That was so awesome!”
While I was disappointed not to see my favourite princess highlighted (Belle, of course: a brunette, French bookworm and Daddy’s girl), my older daughter and her seven-year-old sister both picked Rapunzel as their highlight of the show.
Dare To Dream runs through December 27th in Toronto (I hope my four blog winners have fun with their guests on closing day!), and Disney On Ice can be seen in 2016 in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, London and Hamilton.
Thanks again to Disney Junior Canada for giving us this opportunity!
