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?

This time of year (summer where I live) I’m often looking for fun activities that can be done indoors because it’s hot outside.

This LEGO scavenger hunt is a fun idea you can do with a single kid or a group if you have enough clues to divvy them up.

Frugal Fun 4 Boys and Girls shares this idea that is like a treasure hunt for the mini figs. Each clue shows where a mini figure is hiding and kids can collect the figures as they go. You can do this with old figures or buy a set of figures for this purpose.

You could also just put little constructions or pieces in the areas for kids to find and then have them make something with all the materials they scavenged.

This idea comes with a set of 16 printable cards that are already filled out with clues. It’s meant to be done at home so the places to find are things like the mailbox, bookshelf, washing machine, sock drawer, refrigerator and clock, to name a few. She suggests using eight to 10 clues at a time so if you don’t have all these things in your home (dog leash, for example) you can just skip those.

There aren’t any blank cards in the set but you could of course write your own clues if you want to do this activity in the classroom or throw in some clues that might be more unique to places in your house. You could even add some clues that will be found outside if it’s not too hot.

Check out more on this idea and grab the free printable LEGO scavenger hunt challenge cards at Frugal Fun 4 Boys and Girls.

What’s your favorite indoor activity when it’s just too hot to play outside? I’d love to hear your ideas!
