As we headed towards the arena in Birmingham with an excited Daisy (aged 3) dressed up as Elsa from Frozen and Harry (aged 6) armed with his flashing light, we were all really looking forward to the show. We got there in plenty of time so we were able to really take in the atmosphere. The arena was filled with children dressed in disney costumes and there were flashing lights everywhere.
Here is a short video of some of our favourite parts of the show.
After a quick warm up where the children were encouraged to get up and dance along, the show was introduced by Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The show was divided into 4 mini stories; The Lion King, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid and Frozen.
Each part of the show consists of a short version of the story filled with impressive skating, singing and special effects. As each mini story is introduced the theme music is played and Harry loved announcing to us which story would be coming up next.
Keeping each part of the show short is perfect for young children as it keeps their attention. Daisy was mesmerised throughout and didn't leave her seat for the first hour and a half (which is pretty amazing for her!) and Harry was left wanting more when the show finished.
The Frozen story makes a perfect finale to the show. All the children can't help but get up and dance and sing along. The special effects are really impressive too, with falling snow and sparks flying.
In conclusion, 'Passport to Adventure' (like all the Disney on Ice Shows) is an amazing show that impresses children and adults alike. I would say age 3 upwards is the perfect age to truly be able to enjoy it.
It's not too late to book tickets for the show, for the complete list of tour dates, head to www.disneyonice.co.uk.
