Our family has been to several Disney on Ice shows and this is what I can now tell you for sure…Disney DELIVERS THE MAGIC every time!
The theme for this show, 100 Years of Magic, combined stories and characters that we have all grown up with! We got to see just about all of our favorites as this was the largest cast ever of Disney stars on ice! Very appropriately Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse narrated and took us on a “tour” with Buzz Lightyear & Woody, the princesses, Nemo & Dory, Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket, Stitch, and The Incredibles…as well as showing us exciting moments from Disney’s Aladdin, Mulan and The Lion King.
My kids were all mesmerized right from the start! The music, brightly colored costumes, and beautiful set held their attention. Each act was as exciting as the last and kept the show moving at a rapid pace. There were a few times the characters encouraged the audience to clap along and nobody held back from singing to the familiar tunes!
For us parents, it was very nostalgiac to see the “It’s a Small World” and “Pinocchio” acts! We even got up and marched in place while singing along to the “Mickey Mouse Club” theme song which brought back a flood of memories! This was truly a show that young and old could enjoy together!
This morning, it was SO fun to see my two oldest take their show programs to breakfast with them and recall their favorite moments and characters!
That’s what it’s all about…creating those memories!
There’s still time to get tickets for the remaining shows this weekend!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
