Last Friday, my family and I had the great pleasure of going to Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales. My daughter Emma was very excited because Snow White is her very favorite Disney princess. Well in true Disney fashion, the show was amazing! We enjoyed every minute of it.
I love that they featured the classic fairy tales. The new stories are great, but it was nice to see the stories I grew up watching. Emma loved seeing her favorite characters Snow White and Minnie Mouse. She thought the show was “GREAT”! Her favorite part was “Calling for our Disney friends.” Even my one and half year old, Jonathan, loved the show. He sat in amazement for the entire show! He was even so excited at intermission to see his favorite character Mickey Mouse all around.
If you get the opportunity to see Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales, I urge you to jump at it. I am not sure what I enjoyed the most, the show or watching the kids have so much fun!
