Disney LIVE!

This afternoon, Dens and i brought Troy to watch Disney LIVE! in Manila showing at the Araneta Coliseum.  We told Troy about the upcoming concert yesterday and he was so excited he could hardly sleep! Before he went to bed, he asked me how many sleeps he needed before he can watch the Disney concert. I said only one.  So he fell asleep around 9pm and woke up 30 minutes after. I wasn't home then but his yaya said the first thing he asked when he woke up was 'Are we watching Mickey yet?'. He tried to go back to sleep but when i got home around 11pm, he was still wide awake! He was lying in bed with the lights closed.  When i walked in his room, he jumped up and asked if we're about to watch Mickey already. He was E.X.C.I.T.E.D!

On our way to the concert, we prayed together for protection and asked God to grant us a wonderful time. And boy, did we have a fabulous time! I think i enjoyed the concert as much as Troy did! Okay, he probably enjoyed a tad more but i enjoyed looking at him enjoying the show :) (say enjoy 10 more times!)

We got there around 3pm and people were still coming in. We got a good deal with the tickets so decided to get seats near the front. Looking at how much Troy enjoyed the show, Dens and i concluded just a few minutes into the show that the extra amount we paid for was worth it.

Curtains still closed before the show

We were seated on the 4th row, middle aisle. Excellent seats!

The show started a little past 3pm. Just a few minutes after we arrived. It was pretty much on time.

After the opening act, they introduced Genie who told the story of Aladdin. The LCD background effect was a nice touch.

After the story of Aladdin came Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. This part of the show was the most colorful.

After The Little Mermaid, green soldiers came out to introduce the Toy Story characters.

Woody looked like Ken!

Buzz Lightyear (or as Dens would say 'Bugs Lightyear')

While watching the characters from Toy Story sing and dance, troy asked me 'Mommy, where is Tomato?' And i thought he was asking for Bob the Tomato from VeggieTales. I told him Bob is not part of Toy Story. He's from VeggieTales. Then Troy said 'no, not Bob, Mommy. I mean Mr. Tomato Head'. Oh. Close enough ;) Tomato To-ma-to, Potato Po-ta-to.

The show truly did not disappoint. Although some of our friends who have seen Disney on Ice said that it's a lot nicer than Disney LIVE! The last time i watched Disney on Ice was when i was still in gradeschool so i can't compare. 

Troy came out of the coliseum happy and contented. He enjoyed immensely and kept watching the pictures and videos i took all the way home.

They're showing Disney on Ice again this December. We're definitely going back for that. If they say it's even better, then i'm sure it will be super worth it.

For those of you who are watching Disney LIVE! too, let me know what you think.
