Disney's Mickey's Rockin' Road Show, well, ROCKED! Full of Disney magic, energetic fun, and a great story line that kept the kids and parents entertained! Oh and watch out for Donald's big “KA-POW” finish (he gets it right eventually!!)
We were lucky enough to meet Mickey and Minnie before the show, at least most of us did as our 2 year old is still a little wary of larger than life costumed characters, and our oldest daughter's only question was as to why they weren't talking with any one? I thought it was to save their singing voices for the big show and told her as much, but I thought their faces would remain motionless during the performance, but somehow, once on stage, they came to life! With eyes and mouths that moved to the music and brought some added magical realism to the already action packed show! With scenery that moved with the characters and Donald's a fore mentioned “KA-POW” finale, we were all really impressed with the Disney magic brought to the stage! Though, I must say, with two Disney on Ice performances under our belts, we weren't really all that surprised!
The other element I really liked about Mickey's Rockin' Road Show was the energy Mickey and all his friends brought to the audience. I mean, shows always boast about bringing crowds out of their seats to clap and sing along, but this one really hit the mark! Well not for OUR kids, they were all to happy to sit back and let the magic come to them! We did our best to entice them by making fools of ourselves, but we certainly weren't alone as the whole rest of the venue was alive with interactive singing and dancing (including a 10 minute active warm up to get every one's wiggles out!). Kids were encouraged to answer questions and shout out things that they noticed to help Mickey, Minnie and friends gather what that they needed to put on a talent show for all to enjoy! This left no room for attentions to wander or bums to squirm!
The Road show included lasso, juggling, and other circus style tricks with Toy Story's Woody, Jessie, and, of course, Buzz Lightyear! Winnie the Pooh's pal Tigger entertained every one with what Tiggers do best: BOUNCING!! Cinderella sang her way into everyone's hearts and she even brought her step sisters along for some tone deaf comic relief! And, of course, Mickey Minnie, Goofy and Donald, with some guest hosts to help all the fun along, brought all their own special talents in a truly Rockin' Road Show! And watch out because when Donald gets his “KA-POW” right, you may be pulling it out of your hair for days! Depending on where your seats are!
We can't wait to see what Disney has to offer in next season's line up of shows as we hope to enjoy these events as much as possible while our girls are still young enough to freak out at the mere mention of Mickey (or maybe more so Minnie) Mouse! Our only tough decision will be with Ice or without! Maybe both!
