Disney Jr Live on Tour ~ Pirates & Princesses!!

Disclosure:  I received tickets for my family and I in order to write this review but all opinions and thoughts are always my own!

I was so excited to take my older son Chris on a date tonight to check out Disney Junior Live on Tour, Pirates & Princesses.  The show opened tonight at the Rosemont Theater and it was a fabulous time!  From beginning to end the show was exciting and we couldn't help but sing along to all of our favorite songs.

The show opens with Mickey and Minnie coming out and then goes into a full on live episode of Sofia the First.  It was like watching an episode with all of your favorite songs and characters.  Cinderella even makes a surprise visit!  Our favorite song is Biggest is Best and we were thrilled when they started singing it.

You can see just how into the show Chris was!  He was singing and playing along.  They really try to get the kids involved at some parts which is fun.  Can you tell how far back we are...row Q on the upper level.  So almost to the very top but they were really great seats.  We could see everything perfectly and it wasn't as crowded as some of the lower sections.

Next was our personal favorite Pirates!!  We are huge fans of Jake and the Neverland Pirates so it was really exciting to see all of the characters live in person.  The Tic Tic Croc even showed up to bother stinky Captain Hook.  Peter Pan also came to help Jake escape and saved the day!  

It was a really fun time and the show will be in Rosemont at the Rosemont Theater through March 17th so get some tickets today.  It is well worth it and if you have any Sofia or Jake fans they will have a fabulous time. Don't forget to use the discount code too.

My Disney Side @Home Celebration!

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post through MomSelect.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was thrilled when I found out I was selected to host a Disney @Home Celebration.  My family is a huge fan of Disney and anything related to it.  I could barely keep my boys hands out of the box when we were unpacking everything.  There were tons of wonderful favors and gifts.  T-shirts for us to decorate, a beautiful Disney love print for all the guests, and tons of paper to print pics with HP and their website TwoSmiles.

My boys have their birthday together and we were already planning on a Disney theme of Cars.  Everyone came in their Disney attire and we celebrated the boys and took pics by a huge cars mural.  All the food had themes from Maters tater salad to iced tea (gasoline for your engines!) from Flo's V8-Cafe.  It was a blast and the boys were thrilled when they saw all of the awesome decorations.

Like I said we are huge Disney fans!  We have our very first family trip planned for September of this year.  You can check out our awesome countdown widget in my right sidebar.  Chris and I have both been to Disney world but it is Josh and Nicks first time so I am excited to see their reactions.  We have been to several Disney on Ice shows and are seeing our first Disney stage show this week!

So whether you have a trip planned to one of the fabulous Disney resorts in your future or just a Disney fan at home I hope that you can have a wonderful celebration as well.  Princesses, princes, pirates and fairies everywhere should be celebrated!  You can check out some fabulous ides and tips for planning your Disney celebration whether it is big or small at the Disney Side Celebrations website.  It is full of recipes, printable activities, games and more to help and inspire tons of magic.

Disney Junior Live! Rosemont March 14-17

Chris is absolutely going to flip out when he finds out we are going to Disney Junior Live on Tour!  He has seen the commercials and tells me constantly he wants to go there.  He is a huge fan of both Jake and Sofia so the Pirates & Princesses theme is just perfect.  I think I might be more excited then him at this point and I cannot wait to see Sharky & Bones!!

If you have any Disney fans in your house be sure to get tickets soon as seats are selling out fast!  Details:

Disney on Ice-Let's Celebrate! #DisneySide #Review

Disclosure:  My family was provided tickets to the event but all thoughts and opinions are always my own!

 Anything related to Disney is magical.  I cannot explain it but it just is.  Their Disney on Ice shows are no exception and their current show Let's Celebrate brings a piece of the Disney Parks straight to your doorstep.  Chris was so excited and all day he had been asking me when we were leaving for Mickey on ice.  It was finally time and he was practically dragging us out the door.  I have never seen him so excited.

When the show starts it is very exciting for me so I can only imagine how it feels to the children.  The arena gets dark and it starts with a huge opening number with a huge cast of characters from Alice to Belle and of course all your favorites like Mickey and Minnie.  The show goes on with a great celebration story line.  Chris loved seeing his personal favorites like Captain Hook and Buzz Lightyear.  He even enjoyed all the princesses - I think he is in love with ALL of them.  

I always leave wanting more and can't wait until the next event.  Chris had so much fun he cannot wait to go back either.  If you haven't make sure you get your tickets and be sure to use the discount code below!  There are still awesome seats left and parking is FREE!

Disney Mickey Food

One of the things I love about Disney is the amount of effort they put into the small details. From folding the towels to look like swans to waffles that look like Mickey. I think it is all of these little things that make a trip to Disney even more memorable and special. There are Mickey sandwiches, mickey ice cream, mickey waffles, mickey cookies...I mean you name it it probably comes in Mickey form. For someone that is not a huge Mickey fan this may be Mickey overload but to those looking to enjoy the entire experience you will be in Mickey heaven.

I Love Mickey Mouse!

I admit it...I absolutely love Mickey Mouse! I mean he is such a great pick me up always smiling and happy. He is always ready for an adventure and has the appropriate outfit for anything. I remember when I was little and I would watch that Mickey skit where he is cleaning and uses his magic hat to bring the brooms to life and before he knows it there are 100's of brooms dancing about. It was love from that day forward. I remember standing in line for 2 hours to wait to met him at Disney World and when it was my turn they switched to Donald Duck so what did my mom do, yup, we got back in line after meeting Donald and waited another 2 hours to see Mickey! Love you Mickey and hopefully I can visit you soon.
