Review: Disney Live, Australia

If you are in Australia (See dates and Venues Below) and looking for a fun filled 1 1/2 hours then this show is sure to suit your little ones. With 25 Disney stars appearing your children are sure to know some – if not all of them. The show starts out with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy as the “concert” hosts as they introduce each act such as Aladdin, Little Mermaid and the most recent favorite Toy Story. With dancing Army men and Bullseye jumping rope the kids were captivated.

If you are worried about your kids sitting that long then don’t worry. There is a 15 min intermission and crowd participation is encouraged with a few dance routines to get the kids up and out of their seats.

$135 for a family of 4 is a good price for a great show filled with music and entertainment for you and your child.

Lot’s of kids were dressed up so this would be a great idea if you are heading to the show as it helps build the atmosphere for the little ones.

The negatives? The same as our previous review of Disney on ice . The merchandise will either leave your pockets empty of money or sodden with tear filled tissues as you have to tell your child they can’t have anything and certainly not a $18 program to keep as a reminder of this wonderful show. (Seriously $18, is that fair?) Of course heart broken I caved in and allowed them to share at a $15 Fairy Floss which did come with Mickey Ears. It’s not really about the money. Sure we could have spent all our pocket money on $22 light up things but should we?

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
