Today my family and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to check out the first Melbourne show of the Disney Live Mickey and Friends music festival.

My 2 year loves the mouse guy and it was a thrill to be able to take him to see his favourite  character in another medium. Sure we have Disney Junior and the DVD’s, books, t-shirts and his own little Mickey to cuddle but it’s great for him and other Mickey fans to see him and his friends another way.

The show on a whole was great. I appreciated the voice over at the start warning us all what the special affects were ie smoke and some darkness. My boys were both glued to the action for the first 40 mins and then they had an intermission. Not sure this was ideal as the second act didn’t have my 2 year old enthralled at all. The intermission lost the momentum. I noticed other families around me also taking their toddlers out as they were fidgety during the second half. My almost 7 year old though was able to enjoy it all.

This the view from our seats. Unfortunately there were some parts of the show that I couldn’t see due to the location of the characters being right on the side of the stage and as we were seated on the far left we couldn’t see them. I would definitely make sure that you are purchasing tickets make sure they are in the middle range of seats.

As with all these events, there is lots of over priced merchandise available, programs were $16, bucket of popcorn $15 and fairy floss $13 as well as many other items. I had warned my big boy that we weren’t buying any of it beforehand so he knew not to expect anything. We took plenty of our own snacks and treats  so that was fine.

Mickey and his friends was a great show to take the kids, you could hear the characters properly, lots of dancing and music, it was an entertaining show. I thank Disney and Cavanagh PR for the chance to attend. Check Disney Live website for more information.
