Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Pinocchio wins as the most talented ice-skater in “Disney on Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic” at the Savannah Civic Center Thursday. But the crowd favorite when it comes to storyline, songs & characters was the Lion King.

Opening night of Disney on Ice was a big hit. This mama’s favorite part of the two-hour show was “It’s a Small World After all.” Kids swooned over the princesses, of course, and the Toy Story characters & Goofy driving the zamboni.

If you’re headed to the show this weekend, cue for the best time to run to the bathroom right before intermission is the Small World bit. Don’t forget: SouthernMamas.com readers receive 20% off tickets using code “mamas”!! VIP’s are not included.

We hope everyone else who attended opening night tonight (including the four SouthernMamas.com winners of family four-packs: Penny Maggioni, Nikki Haborak, Sarah Nussbaum,  Laura Gresham) enjoyed the show as much as we did.
