What are you celebrating? Absolutely nothing! TR writing has commenced!

Preface: I received a phone call from exDH about 2pm. It was a Wednesday so his night to spend with the kids, and since his parents were on vacation, I was thinking he was calling to tell me he would be late picking them up or something like that. I was surprised when he asked if I wanted to go to Disney on Ice that night with him and the kids. I'm cautious when accepting things like this bc I don't want to send a message that may be construed as getting back together. I accepted and he said that he would be picking us up so we could catch the train up to Newark. I quickly got the kids dressed since they were in play clothes at that point and packed up the diaper bag. We got to the train station, bought the tickets and within minutes were on the train!

This will mostly be pictures, so get ready!

DS on his 2nd train ride! (Please excuse his long hair, he got his haircut the following day!)

We arrived at the arena before they opened the doors, and picked up the tickets. I had my bag checked and we were allowed in! It was still early so the crowds were low. They had a tea cup photo opp which we did with no wait, and then headed over to the souvenir area! :rotfl2: $60 later, the kids walked away with 2 programs with gold ears, a Buzz figure for DS and a star wand for DD. I was a tad disappointed with the selection compared to last year's Nemo on Ice, but it was for the best - less money to spend! We grabbed hot dogs for dinner and ate them in this lounge area bc we weren't able to bring food down. I found that odd, but since I had never been to the Prudential Center, I figured it was a new area and they wanted to keep it clean.

Imagine my surprise to find out we were front row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

If you aren't familiar with the storyline behind Disneyland Adventure:
The Incredibles family is going on vacation - to Disneyland! They want to 'lay low' and be a normal family so they do not bring their Incredibles suits with them. Of course when they get to Disneyland they are choosen as the Family of the Day and are selected to be grand marshalls in the parade. The go on various classic attractions but Mr. Incredible has to be reminded (repeatedly) to keep hands, arms, etc inside the vehicle at all times and learns that things he thinks are dangerous are in fact part of the show, audio animatronics, etc.

They are late getting to the parade and do not see that Syndrome has kidnapped Mickey and Minnie and is taking over Disneyland. With the help of Frozone and that fashion designer character - I forgot her name - they set out to save Disneyland, Mickey and friends and defeat Syndrome.

Ok, on with the show!

See these freakishly scary monkeys? Well, DD was waving and blowing kisses, so a monkey comes over to shake her hand and I extended hers. They had these bumpy, rubbery gloves on and she completely freaked out with shrieking screams. It was so funny! Really, bc then she blew him another kiss!

Now, this part may be scary to some kids to see Mickey and Minnie being captured, but the kids were yelling, "Mickey, Mickey!" Of course, my kids yell, "Donald Duck!"

From here, the Incredibles visit It's a Small World and POTC where there is the final showdown with Syndrome. In the end, good conquers evil and the show is finished off with the Electric Parade - The Jungle cruise boat, Cinderella coach, etc is all lit up with lights.

So where are the photos, you ask?

My camera battery died. Yup! :lmao: That last photo was taken, I was reviewing it and I get that awful message on the black screen, "Change battery pack." :rotfl2:

How I wished I could get those seats again just to photo the rest of the show! The Pirates sequence was quite impressive!

Oh man, we missed the Pirates?? :sad: Great pictures, though! It looks like you had a blast!

Oh...and her name is Edna! Edna Mode! LOVE HER! :thumbsup2
 
Its so weird that you guys are just getting Disneyland Adventure now. We took Sophie to see it in London the October before last. It was great though, we really enjoyed it. Your kids look so cute like always.

Last year, Nemo on Ice was here, there was another one that was in NJ around T'giving time but I don't remember what that one was. Has Nemo been out by you yet?

That's so funny! I vote every week for the photo contests and I voted for yours! And...I just entered in next week's.

Love your Disney on Ice pics! How great you were so close!

Good luck in next week's contest. I haven't decided which ride picture to post yet. I glanced at the thread yesterday and there was a fantastic Dumbo shot on there.

I voted for you too and your still winning, by a lot! I love that picture! The lighting in it so wonderful!

Your DOI pictures are great! I'm glad you got to go! Your adorable kiddos must have thought it was great!!!

DD and DS had a ball! If I could have taken them a second time I would have!

Yes a little while back. I didn't realise until all the tickets had gone though :sad1:
 
Fantastic Disney on Ice pictures! I am going to see Worlds of Fantasy on Valentine's Day. Your pictures have made me really excited for it!

That's it! I couldn't remember her name and it was giving me a headache! :rotfl2: OK, you get a :mickeybar !

I know, I was so mad that the battery died before the pirates. It was quite impressive and Mickey and Minnie are captured in the jail.
