Celebrate on Ice with Disney

Ice skating was always a part of my life growing up. My brother and I were too uncoordinated to be good at going to rinks ourselves and succeed at much other than garnering a wide collection of bruises, but my mother loved watching ice skating. Any time a major competition aired, my mom would settle in to watch, and I would join her. As the years went by I developed an appreciation for the combination of artistry and athleticism that made up the sport. Our viewing also came with a healthy dose of awe for something we’d never be able … Continue reading →

Disney’s Tarzan Is Closing

The head of Disney Theatrical Productions announced that the Broadway production of Tarzan will be closing after just 486 performances. The show hasn’t received the best of reviews since it opened at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre. Although Disney has not disclosed the actual amounts, the show will be closing at a loss.

Do Disney Princesses Hurt Self-Image in Little Girls?

Has your little girl ever dressed up like a Disney Princess? Mine has. She had a box of play clothes at age three that included outfits for Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

The great thing about an ice show is the magic they can create and when ice shows travel they go from city to city for five to six days at a shot.

Tinker Bell – There’s Something About Her

For a century and then some, Tinker Bell has charmed generations of children – myself included. My daughter is a huge Tinker Bell fan and has wall stickers dancing around her room depicting Tinker Bell in various cute poses wearing a hip length, lime green dress and slippers.

Her behavior ranges from charming and enchanting to spoiled and irritable. She is described as someone too … Continue reading →
