Question about Alladin

[LVdisneyChick]

so this will be our first visit and i am not sure if i want to see this show. i have a very active 2 year old, and i am not sure if i he will hold up and i dont want to cut an hour out of our time. The only day we can see it is sunday, which is the day we are arriving. i originally planned on making this a slow day but if i add this show in the mix it will be very hectic. what are your thoughts?

Aladdin is a great show. But with a two-year-old you might want to skip it. Depends on the child.

I agree, Alladin is AWESOME. We saw it with my 18 month old (At the time- now he's three!) And I honestly don't remember how he behaved, which means that either he did well or he was alseep.

This is a great show that everyone should see!!! When I saw it the first time there were all kinds of kids jumping and running around. I thought to myself, "Great! How am I going to enjoy the show?!" But you know, as soon as the show started, not one kid moved until the end of the show. There is so much going on on the stage, the giant elephant parading through the isles and the magic carpet flying over head that they were all entranced with the show! It's also a great place to relax and rest your feet, cool off if it's hot outside or warm up if it's cold. I say go for it!

Aladdin is, quite frankly, the best Disney park musical show I've ever seen. About the only difference between it and a Broadway musical is the length (50 minutes vs. 2-3 hoursa) and lack of an orchestra. Otherwise, it's that spectacular. My mother doesn't care for the story of Aladdin, so she doesn't much like the Disney movie either. But she quite enjoyed the Aladdin musical.

The Genie is hysterical and laces all kinds of current events, Disney jokes, and pop culture into his lines. A couple of my favorites:

At the end of the Disney movie, the Genie announces he's going to Disneyland after Aladdin frees him. In the musical during the same scene he once declared "I'm going to cross the street."

"Noboby likes rats, but Ratatouille won best animated feature so that was cool."

And when chasing Iago off the stage at the end: "You're not even good enough for the Enchanted Tiki Room, you tiki bird reject."

So, don't skip this if you're not sure about watching a Disney stage show because this is far superior to any park stage show. Now if your kid won't fare well during the show, that's another matter. It does make for a nice break though as you're sitting down for a long time.

I say go for it. We have done it twice with toddlers, and it went quite well. My kids crazy too, like me, and they enjoyed the show.

Definitely go. It is an awesome show. If he becomes bored or hyper you can always exit. I have seen a few parents sneak out with a crying baby. It's no big deal, it is Disney after all.

Ohhhh, Aladin is AWESOME! We went w/ 8 year olds, but there were kids of all ages and activity levels there prior to the show started. BUT, once it started you didn't hear boo from them.

If you haven't seen it, I hope you can try to go. It's great!
