Disney-Live-Mickeys-Music-Festival

OK, so we bought (key word in this review) into the idea of doing the sports arena with Mickey Mouse Live Action Dance show for the grand-kids.We sprung for 4^th row center (who really wants crappy seats when you have to endure a kids musical right?) which weren’t cheap but we thought its a one time deal so lets go big.
I think the earthquake the other day was Walt rolling over in his grave… WOW most high school plays have better production value that this amateur hour. I was absolutely shocked that the «Disney» brand associated themselves with this production.
Now I do understand that my 2 and 4 year old grandsons had no idea that this show was so poorly produced, and they did have a great time dancing in the «mini mosh-​pit» (yes the pun was intended) to all the classic Disney movie tunes (except Frozen thank God) and all in all THEY had a great experience. What the producers don’t apparently understand is that the wee ones cant drive themselves to these things and they really need to step it up a bit for mom and dad (granny and gramps in my case).
The whole thing was an event to get you there and sell you another $ 200 of worthless crap cause all the other parents were buying it for their kids. I started by coughing up $ 14 a piece for two sippy cups with lemonade that had a picture of Mickey on them, and a $ 14 cotton candy for gods sake. I stopped the madness for us right there but felt sorry for the parents with 4 or 5 whiny snot factories that all had to have their own trinket to remember this less that memorable event by.
Thankfully the gods were looking down on me and lead me to a stand where alcohol was available, needless to say there was a line of dudes, rolling their eyes, waiting to get a bit of medication to make it through the show, which we did, thank you alcohol gods…
When we left we almost forgot the sippy cups, but I went back and retrieved them. The grand kids are going «get» them again around Christmas, as I figure if i can get at least three re gifts (yes they will eventually go to another family as a birthday present) that the amortized cost of these ten-​cent cups will finally pencil out.
Final advice for this «show» — spend your money on the Mickeys big adventure gift set DVD’s and save the trip.
