Disney On Ice Princesses and Heroes

Barbara Bryan | 10 July 2013

Enter a world of wonder where heroes and princesses prevail…

…take the kids to Disney On Ice final shows on now!

What a wonderful afternoon my two daughters Brooke (7) and Samantha (5) and I just had at the Sydney Premiere of the Disney On Ice Princesses and Heroes Show!

The atmosphere was electric in the Allphones Arena at Sydney Olympic Park. The stadium was packed with little princesses and princes all craning their necks, not sure of what to expect with the empty expanse of ice-stage in front of them. All went dark except for low, eerie lighting and then “When You Wish Upon A Star” began to play, sending a little thrill up and down my spine.

I looked across at my two little girls faces filled with anticipation and then delight as the lights came up to reveal Tinkerbell in the flesh, spinning and jumping and sprinkling fairy dust with her wand – beautiful, magical and wondrous – Disney On Ice had begun, and the crowd went wild!

Disney On Ice is an absolute must for Disney Fans everywhere, and the show has travelled to most major centres in Australia with still some performances to come.

This is a huge-scale theatrical production that wows both children and their parents and carers. The skating is simply world-class, the costumes are glittery and gorgeous, the ice rink and set are huge and impressive and the special effects are whizz-bang jaw dropping at times – it’s no wonder some of the adults seated near us were there without children, or had only brought tiny new babies – they just wanted to see the show!

There are numbers from all of the major Disney fairytales featured in the show, kicking off with Aladdin and his very cheeky Genie, Snow White with the absolutely adorable Seven Dwarves, Belle from Beauty and The Beast, The Frog Prince cast ice-dancing up a storm, Ariel and the many mermaids from the Little Mermaid, and of course Cinderella and her Prince with her simply gorgeous coach on ice!

My lucky girls meeting Dopey and Snow White at the VIP after-party!

Mickey and Minnie make regular guest-appearances along the way, and are joined by Goofy for good measure. There are a few big surprises but I don’t want to give all the fun away just in case you are still to see the show.

It’s all incredibly entertaining and exciting, and whilst the show itself is amazing, for me the best part was watching the reactions of my kids as they watched it – particularly when they first spotted their favourite Disney characters whizzing out onto the ice – Disney On Ice Princesses and Heroes really is magic – see it while you can!
