toy story 3 on ice

some time last year, disney's mickey and friends on ice show came through the area and i didn't know about until after it had already left. i was so upset because i knew that it would have been such a fun thing to take cece to. so, the second i found out about toy story 3 on ice coming to town, i was on a mission to get tickets.

cece has all 3 toy story dvd's and has loved them since the first time she saw the first one on tv. and i can count on only one hand how many days that have gone by that we have NOT watched at least one of them. she's seen them so many times that she can now recite the lines. she has woody and buzz dolls and blankets and wants to carry them around every where we go.

we could not wait for the day! we decided not to tell her where we were going until right before we left. she does not do well knowing things in advance. we decided to drive to dallas and ride the dart rail to avoid the traffic and high parking fees. and we thought cece would enjoy it.

waiting for the train to come

so windy

getting on the train

we made it! we had about 30 minutes before the show started so we took our time getting to our seats. we grabbed a foot long hot dog to share and stopped to look at all of the toys for sale.

we had awesome seats 4 rows up. not long after we sat down, the show started

mickey and friends welcomed us. this was a nice surprise!

during intermission, we hightailed it to the line to get a picture with buzz and woody. while we waited, cece danced like they did in the show!

having so much fun!

everyone was sitting on the block next to buzz but cece wanted to stand next to woody!

we got back to our seats just in time for the show to start back up. it was perfect timing. my camera battery went dead so i wasn't able to get many pics of the second half.


we all had a wonderful time. the show was amazing. cece did awesome. she started to get tired toward the end and started to cry saying "i want woody, i want jessie." it was the weirdest and funniest thing. she was reaching out her arms wanting them to hold her. we knew she was about done.

although the train ride over wasn't bad, we decided we would never do that again. we will gladly pay the extra few dollars to drive and park. the wait for the train afterward was way too long. we ended up having josh's dad pick us up and take us to our car. it was a good experience for cece, but not again.

every day since the show, cece has said how she wants to go see them again and she names out every toy. it's so fun now that she's old enough to take her to things like this. we look forward to the next time.
