Princesses On Ice

Beth loves the Disney princesses, so when we found out that ‘Disney on Ice - Princess Wishes’ was coming to the Scottrade Center it was almost a given that we would go & see it. Although there was the possibility that tickets may be available for the work’s box, we chose to go with Sherri, her children & her mum to make sure that we saw the show.

The showing that we went to watch was on the same day as St Patrick’s Day & so we left quite early to make sure that the delays likely to be caused by the downtown parade didn’t make us late for the show. We needn’t have worried & ended up waiting about 45 minutes before we were let in. However, this gave us plenty of time to comment on the exorbitant prices that were being charged for the Disney Princess Merchandise (which was followed by being charged $6 for a bottle of Diet Pepsi – yikes!).


Sherri got us really good seats that were close to the edge of the ice. This was the nearest that I had sat for an event at the Scottrade, & the view was really good. The show was made up of seven different routines with each one effectively a shortened version of the appropriate Disney film. We saw Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Jasmine, Aurora & Mulan. The different princess stories were linked by Tinker Bell (from Peter Pan).
