I was able to see the new Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes at Madison Square Garden. When I think ice shows I think horrible costumes with sequins, bad music and ice skating moves that I can do. Well I couldnt do most of these moves the sequins where limited to the princesses and the music was the fabulous selections from the Disney movies each princess came from.
The show was awesome! I highly recommend it for any Disney fan or anyone thats into ice skating or princesses (cause there is plenty of both!).
I loved the snow white and the aladdin story lines maybe because they really struck a nerve with me as those were two of my Disney favorites growing up. The show also focused on Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Ariel from little mermaid, mulan and Tinkerbell. Of course Mickey and Minnie made a popup here and there.
My child’s face was priceless at a few of the songs and he loved the tricks, the lifts, and some of the special effects. Yes, he even grooved around a bit to the Genie song from Aladdin. They use the real voices from the movies which will really help the kids get into the story lines and hold their focus.
The show is broken up into two 45 minute segments with a 20 minute intermission. Of course they have the lights, cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, and ect for sale… but its all worth it for those few pieces of memories you’re creating with your child.
Next stop for the show is in New Jersey at the Izod center and I’ve got a four pack of tickets to giveaway.

Dinosaur Train is roaring into 2011 with an all-new episode premiering Monday, January 17 on PBS KIDS (check local listings). Moms will love this new episode because its about moms… In the all-new episode, “The Good Mom;” “Diamond Anniversary,”Mrs. Pteranodon meets fellow mom Millie Maiasaura, who is a little too over-protective of her kids. The two moms share some time comparing mothering methods in a play date at the Big Pond. And, Mr. and Mrs. Pteranodon decide to surprise each other with gifts on their anniversary.
I totally give credit to the person that thought I’ll take two things children love and mash them up trains and dinosaurs because the results are pretty cool. There are also tons of facts shared in the episodes like this nibblet in the first part of this all-new episode, “The Good Mom,” you might be interested to know that Maiasaura, meaning “good mother lizard”, was a large duck-billed dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous. There is evidence that Maisaura lived in large nesting colonies and that the parents diligently cared for their young!
For those that love this show or want to check it out I’ve got a great DVD to giveaway Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs in the Snow DVD [Amazon].

I love nothing more then taking my child Marc to see a show that is totally different then anything he’s seen before. This is totally true of the Ohmies, we’ve done rock concerts, we’ve done the stage characters in full dress-up, we’ve done the puppets but we haven’t really done a broadway type show. Thats just what this is, its got song, dance, adults dressed as bugs, dogs, snakes, and a bunch of other critters that I cant really recall. I loved how they tie some yoga into the show, and how interactive it was for the kids.
Let’s remember this show is based for Toddlers and if you keep that in mind while you’re there looking at your child’s face you’ll leave with that warm feeling in your heart. It is special to watch your child’s eyes light up when the actors come out on stage or when they get everyone up and hopping around.
The show is on a one month run (I hope it gets extended) for more information check out http://theohmies.com
I also shot a quick video if you want to hear a sample of the type of show…
We’ve got a four pack of tickets to giveaway…
