DISCOUNT CODE - Disney on Ice presents Princesses and Heroes

Halloween is over; there is a definite nip in the air; it gets dark at 4:00; all the signs that winter will soon be upon us.

And with winter, comes skating shows. This year Feld Entertainment is bringing Disney on Ice presents Princesses and Heroes to Toronto, for the holiday season (December 20 -29). This show has almost every single character in Disney's princess pantheon, along with their corresponding villains of course.

Last year, I took my daughter and her friend to watch Disney on Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy, and they had a great time.

If you and your family are interested in going to this year's show in Toronto at the Rogers Centre – here are two discount codes.

CODE 1 – MUM44 – 4 tickets for $44.00 for WEEKDAY shows

CODE 2 – MUM4 - $4.00 off for WEEKEND shows

There is of course fine print - Excludes Front Row, Rinkside and VIP tickets. No double discounts. Additional fees may apply. Weekday is defined as Monday through Thursday. Weekend is defined as Friday through Sunday. Limit of four (4) per purchase.

I admit I actually like winter. Okay, I do not really enjoy the cold, but I love snow, and we are a family of skiers.

This year, I hope to go out and try skating more. We went only once last year, which meant my daughter used her brand new skates only once... I am definitely buying used this year.

Maybe, if I take her to Disney on Ice, it will motivate her (and us) to go and strap our skates on.

Discount code - Disney on Ice presents Rockin' Ever After

It is that time of year again.... time to play Santa...

At our house, we started this little ritual a couple of years ago. I give my daughter the toy catalogues, (the ones that seem to come daily this time of year), then she goes through them all, cuts out her favourites and glues them onto one piece of paper to be sent to Santa.

This project accomplishes a few things. It gives me a clue as to what she wants for Christmas. It helps with her planning and future thinking skills – she can only fit so many toys on a page, so she must figure out which toys she really wants, and plan how to fit as many toys as she can onto a piece of paper (spatial reasoning skills?). It helps with her motor skills (the cutting and glueing). This year, we plan to work on her literacy skills as she must also write a letter to Santa. AND most importantly, it keeps her busy while I cook dinner.

Nevertheless, no matter what toy we get her, and no matter how much effort we put in trying to find some gender neutral, educational alternative to the Barbie doll and nail polish kit that she glued onto that sheet of paper, the toy will inevitably end up on the floor somewhere to become a tripping hazard or end up jabbing me in my foot.

So for her birthday this year we tried something different. Instead of a big expensive toy, we got her an experience. The whole family went to see the live production of Beauty and the Beast. We still got her a little toy to open on her birthday, even I realize that it would be difficult to explain to a five year old why there is nothing to unwrap, but her actual present, which happened about two months later, was the show.

Even though she did not completely enjoy the show (long story, maybe I will save it for another post), it did start me thinking that maybe this is the way to go for presents. Instead of another toy (more crap for me to clean up), why not do something fun as a family. Something that will leave very little physical presence (nothing for me to stub my toe on), but at the same time, something that can be enjoyed by all and leave a lasting memory.

To help you give a gift of an experience, here is a discount code for Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy. The show will be at Rogers Centre in Toronto from December 21 – December 26, 2012. For more information please visit http://disney.go.com/disneyonice/

Have a great March Break!

Off to see the princesses!

In a week and a bit, we are off to see princesses - Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales.

My daughter is very excited to see Belle, her favourite princess. I think my favourite was Ariel, but I never quite understood why she wanted legs, I would have loved to live under the sea.

Okay, I admit that I am starting to get a little excited about this too; partially to see the look of love in my little girl's eyes. But mainly, I am looking forward to being transformed into the role of Fairy Godmother, which is a huge promotion from the Evil Witch (okay, bitch) Queen that I have been for the last couple of days – yes, I am very much looking forward to the start of school again.

I am looking forward to the show itself too. I think even those who think Disney is some evil corporate entity will admit that Disney really knows how to put on a show. Disney is one of those things and places that for a few hours can make me believe in magic and feel like a kid again. It is like some weird drug.

Here is the description of the show from their website:

Join Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy as they bring the timeless fairytale adventures of Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to life right in your hometown. Featuring dynamic storytelling, award winning music, stunning costumes and glittering special effects, audiences will be captivated by the humor, fun and adventure of these spellbinding stories. Dream with the princesses, cheer for the heroes as they conquer evil villains, and marvel as these classic tales are brought to life in an theatrical experience that’s pure magic.

And here are some more interesting tidbits about the show:

• Hours it takes to set up the production – 16 hours
• Hours to tear down the production – 5 hours
• Number of performers – 16
• Fabric used to make the costumes – 1200 yards
• Number of costumes – 100
• Number of light bulbs used on the stage set and curtains – 2,353

And do not forget the discount code: MAMA (see previous blog on information regarding code)
