First up was Dinner! Now, eating out is not new to our children. Matter of fact Jack used to think eating IN was a special treat. YIKES! I've improved that situation. But still, the kids had a blast eating in the CNN center. Then we entered the arena.
Do you see that unbridled enthusiasm? Partly in anticipation of the show but mostly because this was right in front of them.
Every five feet another booth with the exact same over-priced but oddly captivating souvenirs was found. Jack picked out a sword and Bronwyn a light-up princess globe.
Three minutes later they switched toys, much at Bronwyn's insistence! A duel followed :)
Our seats were right on the ice, which was exciting (and cold!) hee-hee. The pre show was almost as good as the real show. What was the pre show?
Cotton Candy and Pop Corn! The next night at bedtime Bronwyn sang out randomly, "I ate ALL the popcorn. I LOVE popcorn!" Time for the show to begin!
Now Bronwyn loves Mickey Mouse. She talks about him daily. Multiple times a day. She wore her Mickey barrette with pride.
And then she saw him on ice. With those big ears and those big eyes!!!
And she exclaimed, "I no like! I no like!" and promptly used her dad's hands to cover her face. Not to worry, once the shock of seeing a giant mouse wore off she began to enjoy the show. Next up...the princesses!
Ariel!
Rapunzel with Maximus. How did that horse survive on the ice? Amazing! :)
Blurry shot of Merida and the triplets. She was fantastic on ice! Pop-pop, better learn who she is as she may be part of your next Disney World quiz ;) Two red heads to keep straight. The misery!
They saved our family's favorite for last! Beauty and the Beast--complete with the show-stopping number, Be Our Guest. So did Jack enjoy? He did...all the princes were there and enough humor to make up for the show being largely about princesses (ick)! What about Bronwyn? She eventually peeked out from behind Dad's crab-like fingers and liked what she saw. She enjoyed the rest of the show (minus a loud, explosive noise here and there...hee-hee!)
Merida will be easy to remember, she’s the red head with the bow slung over her shoulder! By the way have you ever attempted to carry a bow slung over your shoulder that way, not something I would recommend! For one thing it’s dangerous! It’s basically a noose around your neck with the apex of the noose dragging behind you ready to grab on to something! Jack and Bronwyn never carry a bow the way Merida does! If you take up archery, carry your bow in a bow case! Love Poppop!
