Princess Wishes

EDIT: I JUST ADDED FOOTAGE OF THE FINALE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURES! ENJOY THE SHOW!

We just got back from a weekend trip to Chicago where we saw the "Disney Princesses on Ice - Princess Wishes" show. It was very cool and Evie had a great time. She dressed as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty for those who are not up on their princesses), and she looked so darling.. there were lots of other little princesses there and each time Evie spoke to a little girl dressed up she said, "I made a new friend who's a princess like me!". It was sweet. So it started out with Aladdin and Jasmine.. the stories were changed a little to make time for every Princess to have a skate and their princes came out with them as well.. During Snow White's bit, all of the dwarfs were skating around.. Evie waved frantically at them... At the end, all of the princesses, princes, Tinkerbell (Evie's favorite in the show who comes out in between in princesses intro), Mickey, Minnie and Goofy all came out.. a chariot, fireworks.. it was pure Disney magic at it's finest. Tough to not tear up when you hear your favorite princess love songs when they are skating so gracefully across the ice. (Well.. it was for me anyway.) I think our favorite part was the dragon (Malevocent from Sleeping Beauty), spitting fire onto the ice.. Joe managed to snap a cool picture of that.. Prince Phillip did a nice job of skating through it! The show was pretty long.. I'd say about 2 hours.. with an intermission in the middle.. I recommend this show to anyone who has a little princesses at home!

(By the way.. they are resized for the blog, but if you click on the individual pictures, they are nice and large and full of detail!)












Here's video footage of the finale.. my favorite part!

Oh my, what a show! Evie is just beeming with excitment: ) I imagine Sarah will be "dragging" us to one of these type things in the future! The one of fire on the ice is awesome!
