Review Disney on Ice Family Entertainment Live Performance Holiday Treat for Multiple Generations

Family Entertainment

MBE partnered with Disney on Ice for this post

Special Mom Discount - Details Below

What a treat it was to see the new 2013 Disney on Ice Rockin' Ever After ice skating show at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The tour continues through the holidays with stops not only in L.A., but also Orange County, the Inland Empire and Long Beach. See the full schedule for the Southern California show run now through January 5, 2014.

And what a blast it was to see this family-friendly show on L.A.'s opening night with two other ladies who value world-class live entertainment -- my daughter who is 16 and my personal trainer Laurel. 


This was the first time any of us had ever been to see a Disney on Ice performance and we all agreed it was a really enjoyable evening.


Laurel (L) & my daughter (R) at Disney on Ice, MommyBlogExpert.com

"It connected me with my Disney-infused childhood," Laurel said right after the show. My daughter (a Millennial) and me (a Baby Boomer) couldn't agree more. The performance was equally enjoyed us all, each representing a different generation.

Among my favorites was the Little Mermaid portion of the show. As you'll see from this short video clip I shot below, the flying fish, jelly fish, sting rays and other sea creature were colorfully and beautifully presented, brought to life by Disney on Ice's skating ensemble.



 


The show featured lots of familiar movie characters and songs, set to beautiful sets and ice skating choreography. I grew up with the Mickey Mouse Club and Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Doofus. All these original characters made cameo appearances lending a nostalgic element to the show and reminding even the youngest audience members of Disney's roots. The cast is multi-national led by uber talented principal skaters hailed from not only the U.S. but also Estonia, Russia and Canada, too. 

During the performance there were all the familiar vignettes from movies that Laurel and my teen grew up with ranging from Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel to Little Mermaid. Rounding out this year's entertainment Disney on Ice introduced something brand new to the show: Pixar's Brave, complete with bows and shooting arrows along with a generous sprinkling throughout of pyrotechnics, colorful lighting and special effects. 
The Torch Skating Dance was especially magically and beautifully choreographed.

    Here's a recent fun and entertaining DVD release from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment that couldn't be more apropro for the holidays -- replete with kids, toppling holiday decorations and a Christmas tree galore. In the latest offspring of the Home Alone movie franchise, kids and parents will laugh along together while watching Home Alone The Holiday Heist not only at Christmastime but again and again throughout the year.

    In this installment, Finn Baxter and his family relocate from California to Maine. But there's a problem, after they arrive Finn is terrified and suspects his house is haunted. So he sets up the wackiest ever high tech booby traps to catch the "ghost" he thinks is lurking in his new home. 

    Shortly after movie-in, his parents are away from the house, stranded on the other side of town. Meanwhile, Finn is home alone with his sister. Before you know it, Guess what? The Baxter home is hit by three tough, but clumsy thieves. That's where the hilarity begins in this holiday action comedy the whole family will enjoy together.

    A special thank you to my Great Niece Madison and her mom for all the lovely images

    Little girls are so much fun to dress up for the winter holidays. If you are a mom, aunt, grandma or other doting relative or friend, you know what I'm talking about, right? Born Chic Boutique just launched their online store during 2013, yet already they're on the style radar of those of us who seek especially beautiful heirloom quality clothing with a modern touch.

    Earlier this fall, MommyBlogExpert featured this extraordinary children's boutique's Halloween Spiderella party dress for babies and little girls. 

    Now, I'm pleased to showcase the beautiful Gingerbread Girl Outfit and optional accessories in this post -- just one of the pretty styles that have been selling well for the holiday season. The 2-piece Christmas set retails for $65 and is available in sizes ranging from 1 year old to 7 years old, while the leggings are $17.50 and the bow hairband is $12.50.

    The attention to details is whimsical in this festive outfit. The Gingerbread top is trimmed at the neckline with a red and white satin ribbon ruffle collar and a green chiffon rosette picking up the colors in the skirt. Also, notice the blanket stitch embroidery around the gingerbread man motif on the front which adds an old-fashioned touch but with modern flair. Even the bow the gingerbread girl applique is wearing matches!

    The flouncy brightly colored chiffon tutu style green and red ruffle skirt is trimmed with a polka dot satin ribbon bow to match the neckline of the long-sleeved top.

    Additional coordinated optional accessories include a puffy red and green holiday hairband and the sweetest Merry Christmas leggings with ribbon trim that I've ever seen.
