It was a tradition in my husband's family to go and see Disney on Ice each year. When his parents moved away, we stopped going to Disney on Ice, until this year when we heard it was going to be "Princess Wishes." Since we have a little 3-yr-old girl, who, of course likes Princesses, my husband and I knew right away we'd be going this year.

The regular price of admission for Disney on Ice in Denver was $15 per person, but we used a coupon in the Entertainment Book to make each of our tickets half off. Besides buying the tickets, the only other money we spent for Disney on Ice was to buy Deluxe Nachos for us to share at $6 since we got hungry and weren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the show. Parking was free, which was unexpected and quite a blessing.

*A good tip for not spending extravagant amounts of money on a Disney souvenir is to visit the Disney store before going to Disney on Ice, that way your child will already have one of those light-up, whirly toys, or whatever it is they will want, and you'll save money.

This year Disney on Ice was held at the Denver Coliseum, located off of I 70 and I 25. I was rather surprised to be going to the Coliseum, since the Coliseum is, of course, used for rodeos and is overall just not the nicest place. It's not bad for a rodeo, but it doesn't seem appropriate to host something that involves "Disney" or "Princess," words both suggesting royalty and quality.

The last time we went to Disney on Ice in Denver was in 2003, and it was held in a very nice arena, jam-packed full with people. This year the Denver Coliseum wasn't even close to being filled-up, which may be why it was moved to the Coliseum. "Princess Wishes" seems much more slanted towards little girls then towards both boys and girls, which automatically decreases the size of the audience; still I thought it felt wrong for a Disney on Ice production to be at the Denver Coliseum.

Thanks everyone for the comments! Melissa, maybe your daughter will not be scared like mine was...or maybe you'd want to warn her before hand to expect the scarier parts. If you knew when it was coming, you could even take a bathroom break during that time.

Yikes thanks for the warning on the Sleeping Beauty scene. We have 3rd row tickets for a performance next month and my daughter is going dressed up as Sleeping Beauty. I'll be sure to keep an eye on her!

Great review. From what you described, I can see how the Sleeping Beauty scene would be scary.
