DISNEY ON ICE DARE TO DREAM + TICKET GIVEAWAY!

August 16, 2017 casademurphy

Hi friends! As you know, my family loves all things Disney. Not only are we avid annual passholders now, but the last few years, we also have been huge fans of the Disney On Ice productions! It’s like getting some of the best parts of Disney magic right in your own backyard.

That’s right, it’s that time of the year, and I’m SO EXCITED to be partnering with Feld Entertainment as a Blog Ambassador once again when Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream comes to the Amway Center here in Orlando from September 8-10, 2017. Liam is beyond thrilled to see his favorite Disney heroes hit the ice. His eyes especially lit up when I told him his new fav, Moana, would be there at center stage! I must admit that I am pretty stoked too! It definitely brings out the kid in me, for sure! I am super excited to be able to offer you, my readers, the opportunity to also be able to take your family. More on that, in just a minute.

Disney’s Moana voyages onto the ice for the first time as Disney On Ice presents Dare To Dream, produced by Feld Entertainment Inc., brings courage and adventure to hometowns across North America. Hosts Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse bring audiences on an expedition across raging seas and snow covered mountains in this action-packed extravaganza featuring Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Tangled and Cinderella with other beloved Disney characters to help tell these extraordinary tales. Tickets are on sale now!

Dare To Dream takes families on a high-sea adventure as Moana sets sail on a life-changing quest to save her island with help from the demigod Maui. With the ice floor transformed into the vast oceanic scape, Disney On Ice allows Moana’s strength and determination to take center stage. This engaging atmosphere lets audiences deepen their existing connection to their favorite wayfinder and discover one’s true identity is never out of reach.

“As parents, we strive to find role models who embolden our children to choose kindness and exhibit the values we aim to impart, and this production of Disney On Ice truly embodies this goal,” said Executive Vice President of Feld Entertainment and Producer of Disney On Ice presents Dare To Dream, Nicole Feld. “With Dare To Dream, I want to inspire the youngest members of our families with the heroic stories of their favorite Disney characters and allow them to discover the hero within themselves.”

Beautiful production numbers invite audiences into the world of Beauty and the Beast, as Belle shows what it means to be fearless. Along with her new friends in the enchanted castle, Belle is encouraged to step outside the ordinary and find joy in the bleakest situation. As she looks beyond the harsh exterior of the Beast to reach his gentle heart, fans learn there are teachable moments in everyday life.

Through the athleticism and grace of Anna and Elsa, Rapunzel and Flynn, and Cinderella, brave heroes from Frozen, Tangled and Cinderella ignite passions to believe. Showgoers will witness each characters’ unique qualities and talents inspiring children around the world to discover their inner hero.

“One of the most magical things about Disney On Ice is the performers’ ability to authentically showcase the best qualities of Disney characters,” said Director Patty Vincent. “At our shows, moms and dads are able to experience the magic through the eyes of their children, allowing them to reconnect with their favorite characters and once again experience the childlike wonder and hope that inspires us all.”

Bubblebum: Original Inflatable Car Booster Seat + Giveaway

June 23, 2017 casademurphy

If you have kiddos, then you can relate to the pains of trying to travel with a heavy car seat or booster seat in tow. In fact, I have literally rearranged plans before in an effort to not have to drag ours along with us. You can imagine my excitement when I came across an amazing product for my little one that we can use for his booster seat on the go, AND is both safe & easy to use. Not to mention it’s 100% comfy for him, and there’s fun prints to select from. Friends, let me introduce you to….

BubbleBum’s design allows for fitting three across the back seat of a car, minivan, or SUV. It is the perfect travel companion for every day carpooling, road trips, vacations, cab or Uber rides, fly-ins with car rental, and more. It’s clever design is comfortable for kids to ride on and the “boost” created in its inflated state adds an additional element of safety in the event of an accident, helping to prevent abdominal injury. Kids also love the stylish black and pink chevron designs! BubbleBum helps ensure that EVERY child has a safe booster seat on EVERY ride. BubbleBum has been awarded the Best Bet Honor from the IIHS 6 years in a row. Retails for $29.99 online at http://www.bubblebum.co/us/

The easy to pack air cushioning of the BubbleBum seat keeps kids comfortable and safe on all car rides! Perfectly design for travel, this booster seat, which weighs less than a pound, is easy to inflate and deflates in just minutes, ready to throw into your luggage or tote bag!

Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores 20th Anniversary + Giftcard Giveaway

October 9, 2016 casademurphy

Hello friends! I don’t know about you, but I am super excited for the fall season to be upon us now. In fact, I believe we actually may feel some slightly cooler temps here in Orlando this week! So nice! If you haven’t started planning for it (or actually started), the holidays will upon us before we know it, and that means holiday shopping, too. That’s why I am a big fan of trying to plan ahead and shop smart. One way I do so is by shopping the outlets. Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores is an ideal place to shop for all of your fall weather needs, as well as your holiday shopping. In fact, they are about to celebrate their 20th anniversary in just a few weeks, and have some fun activities planned that are FREE AND FUN for your whole family ❤

Disney On Ice Fun — Follow Your Heart!

September 19, 2016 casademurphy

We recently had an afternoon of family FUN as we enjoyed Disney On Ice presents Follow Your Heart at the Amway Center downtown.

thumbnail_D30B_CHARACTER_LOGO_f_RGB_fpo

We are always pumped to take a trip down to the Amway Center. Being downtown is just fun, in general, as we don’t frequent it often, and we love to check out the venue that the Orlando Magic calls home 🙂

2016-09-03_disneyonice-041

As soon as we stepped off of the escalator, these yummy sights & smells surrounded us. Liam chose the cotton candy & crown combo 🙂

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-001

The show started off with a skating rendition of a hockey game to incorporate elements of Inside Out and the theme of Following Your Heart and doing your best. Riley made her appearance throughout the game and all the skaters were awesome! Liam LOVED it!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-036

And, of course, Mickey & the gang were there, too ❤

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-035

It was very cool to see our favorite friends from Inside Out. Liam’s eyes definitely lit up when they came out!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-034

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-026

I’m pretty sure I said it last year, but my personal fav is Beauty & the Beast. I loved this rendition of ‘Be Our Guest’! Super excited for the live action movie next spring!!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-029

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice…we are big fans of watching this on Fantasia so it was awesome to see this on the ice.

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-023

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-024

I was beyond thrilled to see Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs as a part of this year’s show!! Liam hasn’t see this movie yet, so it’s definitely added to our list …LOVE this one ❤

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-020

Finding Dory ….so fun & such a great movie. We can’t wait to add this to our home collection.

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-015

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-014

Toy Story is one of our family’s all time favorites and the performance they did for the show was SO good!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-012

It was fantastic to see our favs Rex & Hamm come skating out….Liam jumped out of his seat for that!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-011

All the Disney Princesses came out throughout the show and did fantastic performances. Ariel from the Little Mermaid’s performance, though, was one that we couldn’t take our eyes off….

What a way to close out the show….Frozen!

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-007

Let It Go!!! ❤

2016-09-03_edisneyonice-004

100 Years of Magic ~ Disney On Ice Fun

September 12, 2015 casademurphy

Last Friday, we headed to the Amway Center for a night of family fun. Clearly, someone was pretty pumped about that….

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_Liam

We were super excited to be able to attend the VERY FIRST showing EVER of Disney On Ice’s new show — 100 YEARS OF MAGIC 🙂

It was a fantastic event & definite fun for the whole family. Be sure to check their schedule here to see if the show is coming to a city near you soon! Also check out my previous post here to catch up on a little bit of background for the show.

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_1

The show opened with our classic & all-time favs — Mickey, Minnie, Donald & Goofie ❤

I love the Disney On Ice shows because they remind me of the Ice Capades shows that I used to watch as a child. Having the opportunity to share these same kinds of memories with my little one is pretty special to me.

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_2

Various Disney & Pixar movies were incorporated throughout the show. Obviously, Frozen made an appearance. I am not kidding when I tell you that the ENTIRE Amway Center sang along to “Let It Go”…..

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_3

Aladdin has always been one of my favs ….<3 you Genie!

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_4

Liam was over the moon to see the gang from Toy Story 🙂 ….I didn’t get a good picture but before these guys came out, the army men did a little number that was awesome!

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_5

Lion King! …..this one will always hold a special place for us, as that was the theme of Liam’s nursery 🙂

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_6

All the kiddos (and adults, too….let’s not deny it, peeps) were thrilled to see the Disney Princesses skate out onto the ice. Definitely one of the more magical moments!

2015-09-04_Disney On Ice_7

Here’s a peak of the show’s finale …..ended just as good as it began!

Such a great family night! We left with our hands full (popcorn, cotton candy, & a sword….lol!) and our hearts full of wonderful memories. Thank you to Feld Entertainment for this amazing opportunity for my family!

Until next time, friends!
