Disney, Ice and Jakjak | 2011

We took Jakjak to watch Disney on Ice over the weekend. We were lucky enough to get early bird tickets to the show which gave us a considerable discount and pretty good seats as well. It had been a decade and a half since I last watched an ice skating performance, and it wasn't even a Disney production back then. 

As expected, having the Disney name at title means that this will be a kiddie event (evident by kids outnumbering the adults). Surprisingly, even as my 5 year old watched in awe, his dad was happily snapping away and enjoying the show with mum as well. It is a well designed family affair. It is typical Disney, music, dancing, and a production worthy of a Tony. Everything about the production was a fantastic display of lights, art and music.


What was most memorable for me and Judy, was Jakjak's overall reaction and reception of the show as a whole. It ran for two hours with a short break in between. And while there were parts that bored Jakjak, it's safe to say that he loved it. I mean, seeing Cars (you know, Lightning McQueen, Mater and Sally) characters come alive make it all worth it, and that's just the first 15 minutes. From Jakjak's point of view, Tinkerbell and the Lion King really made an impact as well. So much so that we have been singing Hakuna Matata for three days now.
