PHOTO RECAP & TICKET DISCOUNT: Disney on Ice Rockin' Ever After #ChiDisneyonIce



The whole family had a rockin' awesome time at Disney on Ice Rockin' Ever After.  We caught opening night at Allstate Arena and even got to meet the man...erm, Mouse, himself, at a special, blogger meet n greet before the show!  




It was an evening of mice and men...twins and triplets...mighty princesses, and colorful Disney favorites.   



Du-Jay & Sagezilla brought a couple twin school friends, Sabrina & Brianna and all the kids were thrilled with the special swag bags which included a program, coloring book, and Belle figure.



It's so refreshing that the last 2 Disney princesses have been great role models.   Merida and Rapunzel are girls of action who are strong AND beautiful.   My daughter loves archery and adventures far above waiting around for rescue by Prince Charming.





We were thrilled to see Rapunzel back with her witch of a mother and lovable bad boy, Flynn Rider. 










Then there's my personal Tangled fav...Maximus the horse!












The birthday lanterns were stunning!



Ariel and the whole black light Little Mermaid scenes were gorgeous.



We also adore bookish Belle who values creative intelligence over muscle bound arrogance.







Sometimes the girls are strong and the boys are pretty.   We got a kick out of this particular pretty boy who was rockin' the Minnie ears and selling loads of swag.   He was workin' it....and appeared to be having the most fun of any of the vendors.   



Speaking of strong girls...  The whole show was enjoyable, but we particularly adored the 2nd act and the new acts featuring Merida and the characters from Brave!





 





When I saw Donald with the camera around his neck all I could think of were those Facebook cards.....What my family thinks I do.....




If you haven't gone yet, get your tickets already.  This show rocks!   Opening night at United Center is TONIGHT.   Then they'll just be in the Chicago area through February 10th.   We've announced our 6 ticket giveaway winner already, but ChiIL Mama's readers can use the discount code MOM to save 40% on weekday and 20% on weekend shows!



Disney knows how to make a magical, memorable night.   Add a little sparkle to your winter and chiIL out at Rockin' Ever After.
