We've done it! A 40 minutes car ride, 10 minute walk to the arena, 20 minute wait in line for a face painting, ridiculously over priced Disney merchandising and a very scary Ursala and Tessi was a typical 3 year old....but we did it!
Connor did fantastic. She didn't want her ear plugs but after surviving seeing Ursala and then having to endure a huge croc during Peter Pan she gave up and got the plugs and had no trouble with the loud noises. Tessi...well...she's 3, OK? She did well until the food ran out, then she lost her shoe (we found it thank God) and her evil troll mom wouldn't leave as soon as Ariel left the ice. She had a bit of a meltdown, but no worse than a lot of the other kids there. I pulled out the obscenely priced Ariel doll we picked out during intermission and she got better, very, very quickly. I don't think that doll has left her hand since. It's now about 3 hours later.
The Disney war machine is alive and well though...what they were charging for merchandise was unreal. As far as show goes, it was nice, but not as big a theatrical production as I would have expected from a Disney show. But all in all, it was a good time and since Connor did so well I told her we could go see Dora in October. There's another Disney show coming in 2009 - a total princess show. I'm hoping it comes in January so my MIL and SIL can come too - Now THAT would be something for us to all go to.
