Disney’s Toy Story 3 on Ice, Worth it?

When its well below freezing out and the ground is covered in snow and ice, the magic of Disney can feel a long way away.  But sometimes Disney brings the magic to you.  My husband and I took our three children to see Disney’s Toy Story 3 on Ice at the All-State Arena.  This was our third Disney Live stage show in the past year and they did not disappoint.  Disney merchandise and vendors were everywhere and by the prices I easily could have been at Walt Disney World.  There were $7.00 Mickey Mouse boxes of popcorn, $12.00 bags of cotton candy with alien heads on them and in a moment of fiscal irresponsibility I let each of my kids have a $10 snow cone in alien cups.  We had great seats, about 8 rows back, front row of the second section – high enough up so no one in front of us blocked anything.  Money saving tip – they discount opening night tickets and we paid $15.00 a piece.  The audience was filled with kids of all ages.  There was even one older lady in front of us who had come by herself.

The caliber of the show was as up to the same Disney standard as any show at Walt Disney World.  The kids wondered if it would be just Toy Story characters and were very happy to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Pluto come out and introduce the story.  They also made an appearance after intermission and in the finale.  The show had something for everyone from the marching army men to the aliens dancing to the Star Wars Cantina melody to all the Barbies working out to We’ve Got the Beat.  The round up gang even did the Hannah Montana Hoedown Throwdown.  The skating was was quite good.  Barbie and Ken pair danced better then most American pair skaters do in the Olympics.  And I’m still not sure how the 2 footed people skated in the 4 footed costumers.  It can’t have been easy to skating as Slinky Dog,  Ham the Pig, or Bullseye.  I still think two people had to be inside those costumes.  The dancing Potato Heads were quite amusing with other characters constantly removing their eyes.  A few special effects were used – smoke, fire, and characters flying down from the ceiling, but nothing scary here.  From the young to the old everyone had a good time and could pretend Disney World was in Chicago – at least for a couple of hours.
