The elaborate photo sets make for great one-of-a-kind photos – whether you take them with a character or just with your family. For Star Wars fans young and old, this is a fantastic, not to be missed experience. Don’t be deterred thinking it will be so crowded you can’t have a good time.

Gary is Disney’s self proclaimed #1 “Obi-Wanna-Be” and has worked on Star Wars Weekends for the past 10 years. Use the tips below and I assure you, the force will be with you.

If your child is wild about princesses or even just adventure, they’re going to LOVE Disney on Ice Dare to Dream. Feld Entertainment is one of my PR clients and I had the opportunity to see the show in Tampa back in August. The ice spectacular follows the storyline of three of Disney’s most lovable princesses – Tiana, Cinderella and Rapunzel. If you think it’s just a girl show because of the main characters, you’re wrong, there’s lots of adventure for boys that begins with the Shadow man’s soulful solo skate.

Disney on Ice Dare to DreamMy favorite part of the evening is in the Rapunzel story. Her long hair aids in a heroic escape where  she and Flynn swing high above the ice. The crowd becomes part of the show as one member is chosen to assist Rapunzel and Flynn in lighting the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.

As you would expect, the music is spectacular, the costumes brilliant and the stage and props really bring these cinematic shows to life – something that isn’t so easy when your dealing with real life vs. digital animation.
