Disclosure: I received tickets to this show to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
Last night we had the opportunity to attend the opening night of “Dare to Dream”, the newest Disney on Ice show, at the Honda Center.
Moana is the newest addition to the Disney on Ice repertoire. We were invited to some pre-show activities, including a craft where the kids decorated some Kakamora coconut pirates from Moana.
They turned out pretty cute!
We were also treated to a Polynesian dance performance.
It is always fun to watch performances like these. Their energy is contagious!
Minnie and Mickey also made a special appearance and took pictures with us.
The show was divided into two halves, with an intermission in between. My favorite performance from the first half was Beauty and the Beast. “Be Our Guest” will always be one of my favorite Disney movie scenes. The fun costumes and special effects really added to the skating and music.
The second half was comprised of scenes from Frozen and Moana. Frozen seems like it was just made for an ice-skating production. Moana was the crowd favorite, with a lot of the audience singing along.
Seeing all of the young kids in the audience made me regret that we had not taken the kids to see this show when they were younger. However, I am glad that they were still able to experience and appreciate the Disney magic!
Tip: Bring a jacket, because the ice definitely makes it cold inside!
