Reliving the memories of Disney on Ice....




 Being an only girl, attending Disney On Ice was hit or miss. Yeah, I was the unluckiest little girl with no girls in my household( my sisters lived with my father and their mother). Occasionally, I'd get to go with my sisters or an Aunt who was taking her daughters.

Don't get me wrong, we attended the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus regularly but for my Mom to actually say, "We're going to Disney on Ice" with my 3 rough brothers in tow was a No No!! lol

Once, I began my career as a City of Boston Youth Worker and the free tix started coming in, I could easily find at least 6 youth or more interested in going. I remember our very 1st experience where 4 boys went with us. It was their very 1st time leaving out of the hood of Jamaica Plain, Ma to experience Disney on Ice. I remember the looks and admiration upon their faces. At the end of the event, as we prepared to head back they said, "Neka if you get more tix please include us". Two of them were murdered before we could experience it again as a group( and before I relocated to Georgia).

While working with the youth, I became 1st time mommy to a little girl and my dreams of attending Disney on Ice became a reality. From the time she was 9months up until just last year, we attended EVERY Disney on Ice event. I still have her very 1st Disney on Ice admittance tix( I know, semi collector of things with meaning to ME)... No judgement please!!!

I'm excited about the upcoming Disney on Ice experience. I'm already making preparations with an evening sitter( most likely the Mr) for my son because this is the type of event I like to experience with just my daughter( I love my son and he's tons of fun, he just hasn't mastered sitting still. Yes, he's only 1). I'm ready to purchase a snow cone, a souvenir booklet and maybe something small for the boy, just because!

We LOVE Disney on Ice~~ Hurry October!!!!
