Disney Live

Well, I heard that Disney Live: Mickey's Magic Show was coming to my hometown..
I told my mom and after a bit, it was determined...
Broxton just "had" to go!
He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so I knew he would have a great time!

Of course, my mom thought so as well, so she treated us to a day with Mickey and Friends!
We went to visit my mom and headed over to the Civic Center to see the show.
I tell you what, they don't mess around...
It said the show started at 2:30 and bet your money...
2:30, the show had started!
This particular one was Mickey and Friends hosting a magic show.
We saw Mickey and Minnie.. Donald and Goofy...

We also got to see several of the Disney Princesses.
The other characters started off with a bit from Alice and Wonderland...
We saw so many different characters and I will say...
My absolute favorite was the Aladdin scene!

As for the drawbacks...
I thought that our tickets were reasonably priced, considering it was a Disney Show...
BUT, I did think it was just absolutely RIDICULOUS to have to pay for a kids ticket at the adult price.
Meaning, we bought 3 tickets for like $35 each...
Broxton did not even sit in his chair at all...
He could not see, so for the entire show...
He sat in my lap.
Or stood in my lap.
Either way, he was no where near that $35 seat we bought.

They said ALL kids were required to have tickets...
Yes, you want to take your one year old?
Ticket please...

Then, I thought of a way to maybe ease the pain of that $35 ticket...
Allow a meet and greet after the show?
Maybe like 45 minutes after the show, let the kids try to meet them.
Or at least let you take pictures OF them.
There were NO photos allowed at any point during the show...
Well, I snapped a couple during intermission...
I wanted proof that we did take him!
Want to see my "proof?"
The stage, before the show started and we were told, "NO PHOTOS."
Broxton and his Maw-Maw...
(At this point, he had his eyes on the light up Mickey that he just had to have...
Yes, he got it!)
Ha, this is funny.
The mood was perfect. The scene was dark. It was cool (temperature).
The music was slow... and Broxton went DOWN FOR THE COUNT.
I could not resist, I had to take a picture...
Yes, the camera police came to tell me no photo's...
Then they saw what I was photographing and just laughed and walked away!
Over all, we had a great time... Broxton was so excited to see the magic tricks...
Loved seeing Mickey and the gang...
He LOVES his Maw-Maw for taking him!!!

But, I still feel that paying adult prices for a kids ticket is just a bit crazy...
Am I the only one?

    Yeah, if the ticket paying child is sleeping the entire time, that makes it even harder to swallow!

    That is crazy. Kid's tickets should be cheaper. He looks so cute sleeping.

    So cute! I love shows like that, but wow! They were strict on the no photos. And I don't understand the full adult pricing either, but we have encountered it several times too. Makes it almost impossible to take a family to a show. Glad you all had fun! Have a great weekend.

    How sweet of your mom. I would have loved to have gone with you. I do think that full price for ALL children is ridiculous. They should have had a 1/2 price ticket for kids that would probably be sitting on the lap of a parent, I bet they would have gotten a sell-out. (Don't know if they did or not.)
    I love the photo of B on Maw-Maw's lap. Did they say NO photos or no FLASH photography? Just curious, because sometimes, I can get great photos without my flash.
    HUGGLES!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!!
