Disney on Ice presents Into the Magic show review

In our home, Disney is a trustworthy source of joy and family bonding. The magic of Disney is enchanting.

My love of Disney began many moons ago when I was a child, with films and trips to Disney parks being treasured memories from my childhood.

With the experience of Disney magic being one that transcends age, for me Disney provides wonderful nostalgia and a connection to my inner child. Being a parent I can re-experience the magic with my children; with Disney films, toys and experiences creating beloved shared family moments as I witness them enjoy the wonder that Disney evokes as they are bewitched by the magic of Disney.

As my boys love all things Disney, with them all having their own favourite films and characters, Disney on Ice is a show they love. Both my eldest and middle have seen Disney on Ice shows a couple of times with them being enthralled by Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic and enchanted with Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment show. However, my youngest who has also fallen in love with Disney as he grows up has never experienced a spellbinding Disney on Ice show and often asks to see one as well as go to a Disney theme park. 

Whilst his dream of visiting a Disney theme park has not quite been achieved yet, but I am working on it, his wish to see a Disney on Ice show came true the other week when we watched Disney on Ice presents into the Magic in Cardiff at the Ultilita arena.

Top shows to see in Manchester

#AD

Whether you are going to see a dramatic theatrical spectacular, a hit musical or a musician/band in concert, seeing a show can be an exciting and memorable experience.

Whilst London is a hub for shows of all kinds including remarkable shows from musicians and dazzling west end musicals you don’t always have to venture into the capital to experience a fun-filled and incredible show.

Hailed as ‘the London of the North’, Manchester is a thriving city that offers an array of incredible shows to suit all tastes and people. Whether you want to experience live music in iconic locations such as The Manchester Arena, laugh out loud to a comedy show in The Comedy Store or be immersed in a theatre show in The Lowry, there is a wonderful choice of shows that satisfy people’s love of music, arts and theatre available in Manchester.

Walking With Dinosaurs The Arena Spectacular review

When I heard that the Walking With Dinosaurs Arena Spectacular show was stomping to arenas across the UK on a final dinotastic tour I was eager to witness the world renowned show before it becomes extinct.

Like most kids my boys are fascinated by dinosaurs. My youngest loves dinosaur shows such as Dinosaur Train and Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures, adores dinosaur toys and is fanatic about imaginative dinosaur play and dressing up as dinosaurs. Not only does my eldest also share the same dinosaur interests as his little brother but his obsession has progressed to being interested in learning everything and anything scientific about dinosaurs. The beauty of dinosaurs is that there is always more for him to learn as paleontologists discover new dinosaurs and facts all the time plus dinosaurs leave awesome skeletons and fossils.

Monster Jam® Cardiff 2018 show - review

For many months I have been looking forward to the 19th May when we would surprise the boys by taking them to an epic live show. Way back in October last year I wrote about how Monster Jam® trucks were roaring their way to Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Both boys love monster trucks especially Monster Jam® trucks. They adore watching Monster Jam® action online and have an impressive wealth of knowledge about the different trucks and drivers. They love playing with their Hot Wheels Monster Jam® trucks; creating ramps for the trucks to fly over, crushing Hot Wheels cars and displaying impressive mid-air stunts.

BBC Music The Biggest Weekend

Being a proud welsh woman I love to support and champion all that Wales has to offer. Majestic natural wonders and beautiful sights are abundant throughout our country. Amazing attractions offer fun, adventures and fantastic days out. Historic monuments adorn our scenery. Incredible events hosted in Wales wonder and delight.

I love that more and more events are being hosted in Wales with a few of our recent favourites being the magical Disney On Ice show and the breathtaking Monster Jam show. One big event coming up in South West Wales that I think is also awesome is BBC Music’s Biggest Weekend!

All about the Monster Jam® trucks!

With Monster Jam® trucks about to rev into Principality Stadium in Cardiff this Saturday the 19th May I wanted to learn a few facts about the thrilling trucks and brave drivers of Monster Jam® to help me impress my kids when we go to the Monster Jam® Pit Party and live show.

Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment review

Disney stories and films (plus an enchanting visit to Disney World Florida) are entwined in many memories from my childhood. They evoke thoughts of the people I watched them with and the joy I had and still have in watching them. Winnie the Pooh, The Fox and the Hound, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, The Little Mermaid, Flight of The Navigator, Beauty and The Beast, Fantasia to name but a few. Then in later years Hocus Pocus, Cool Runnings, The Lion King, Finding Nemo and the Toy Story series. Really those titles are just the tip of the iceberg of Disney films that I love.

Fast forward too many years for my liking, now as a parent I get to share my love of Disney with my children. From a young age they have been bewitched by Disney magic. Disney old and new has been embraced by us. Whilst they love all Disney productions they do have a soft spot for the animated films.

Disney On Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic review

Disney is synonymous with magical stories and captivating characters who enchant and delight both young and old.

When Disney’s wonderous stories and characters are combined with high class, skilled ice skating a truly magical and enthralling show is created by Feld Entertainment - Disney On Ice.

Showcasing a number of renowned Disney films, over 50 beloved characters and 30 popular musical numbers Disney On Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic combines old classics with recent Disney films for a magical experience.

This past weekend we were delighted to visit Cardiff to watch the show and be transported into the world of Disney.

I Can't Sing! The X Factor Musical.

X Factor is a bit like marmite, people either love it or hate it.  Lee definitely lands in the ‘love it’ group and loves watching X Factor.  As an X Factor fan he makes sure it is on record to watch when he gets home from work so that he does not miss a single moment of the X Factor action. 

I had never watched X Factor until a few years ago when Lee introduced me to the show after we started dating.  Whilst I am not a huge fan like Lee and would not be overly bothered if I missed a show I do enjoy watching it especially when I get a chance to watch it with Lee and snuggle up on the sofa together.

We love snuggling up on the sofa and having a good old giggle watching the people who come to audition for the show who genuinely can’t sing and then watching our favourite contestant’s progress through the show, hoping that they have the X Factor and win the show.

Now in its 10th series, the X Factor is being highlighted in brand new musical comedy stage show; The X Factor Musical…. I Can’t Sing!

Ice Age Live! Review

As I love the Ice Age films I thought it was fantastic that a new live show had been created based on the hit franchise of Ice Age films.  After hearing Michael Curry, co-director of the show, “Ice Age Live! A Mammoth Adventure”, talk about the show saying “I’m really looking forward to bringing the Ice Age herd to life – they’re going to have so much fun in this live show! We are using the very best combinations we can bring to the table, with human actors, comedy, Kung Fu, ice skating, circus, costume performers and video illusion to combine many different forms – whatever works best to tell the story” I imagined that it would be an amazing show to watch.  Following my post about how it sounds like a fun and unique show, I was over the moon and extremely excited when I was offered the opportunity to go to see the show for myself and witness the friendly characters I love from the films go on a brand new adventure in a live show.

A Mammoth Show - "Ice Age Live! A Mammoth Adventure"

I am a bit of a big kid and love children’s animated films.  Now that I am a mummy I’ve got the perfect excuse to watch children’s films and I love snuggling up with little man watching a great film together.

I am a huge fan of Disney and love the classics especially Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book and The Lion King.  I also have a particular fondness for Pixar animated films; I absolutely love Finding Nemo and have watched it countless times, I also love Toy Story and the brilliant Toy Story sequels as well as Cars and Cars 2.  DreamWorks Animation have also made some loveable animated films that I thoroughly enjoy including the popular Shrek, Shark Tale and a favourite of mine Madagascar and its sequels, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.  One of my all-time favourite series of animated films is Ice Age.
