My Favourite Disney Memories

As this year's show is all about celebrating 100 years of Disney, I thought I would be a little indulgent and share a few of my favourite Disney memories from over the years.......

Watching the scenes from Frozen at Disney On Ice. It never gets old and is so magical! I love listening to the whole arena singing along to 'Let it Go' is just the best
Visiting the Disney Christmas Shop at Disney Springs in Orlando. This is the best shop I've ever been to! I still put the Disney Baubles I bought there on my tree every year
Watching any new Disney release at the cinema with the kids. As they're now older, it's more difficult finding things that we all like. Watching a Disney film together is still up there and we already have our tickets to this year's new live action release of The Little Mermaid
Dee and Jack were super lucky to be invited on the ice and feature in the show one year and have met some of the cast too. Very much perks of the job I'm in which I'm super grateful for. Memories I definitely treasure
Watching Ursula on ice during a previous Disney On Ice show. She's one of my favourites and was just brilliant
Watching Tangled on loop with Dee when she was little and singing the 'Mother Knows Best' song and 'Flower, gleam and glow. Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine' whenever I brushed her hair
When I was growing up, I was always renting A Little Mermaid or Sleeping Beauty from the video shop near us in the school holidays (I remember it was 50p)
My brother being obsessed with Toy Story when we were growing up. I'm sure he had a Toy Story themed bedroom at one point
Watching Finding Nemo when I worked as a Dental Nurse and understanding all the 'in' jokes and terminology. It was a water cooler moment where I worked!
When I was poorly as an 18 year old, someone bought me a Sully (from Monster's Inc) soft toy and it's still one of my most treasured posessions

Visiting Utilita Arena Newcastle & FAQs

Disney On Ice takes place in the centre of the arena and uses the full floor space. I've sat in most areas to watch the show in the past and there isn't a bad seat
At time of publishing, there are quite a few items which you aren't allowed to take into the arena - backpacks, glowsticks, signs/banners, refreshments/refreshment containers. See here for the full list and more info
Disney fancy dress is encouraged for little ones - many where a costume with their winter coat over the top. It doesn't actually feel too chilly inside the arena. Adults are not permitted to dress up as a character but can wear things like character ears / T-shirts
Start saving now for merch - last year's prices as a guide were £15 for a Mickey Mouse bucket of popcorn, £15 for Rainbow Slushies in a Disney Cup, £13 for Candy Floss with Mickey Ears, £30 for Flashing Wands,
Last year the arena ran a deal where you could buy a hot dog, crisps, chocolate bar and a drink for £5 from the main tills which was a good deal. Hopefully they will have something similar this year
Places to eat nearby include Sachins, Mantra Thai, Central Oven & Shaker and Coop Chicken House. Last year the Lazy Bear Tipi outside Central Station was a popular option too
We always park in the official arena car park. There are 600 spaces, it's easy to get in and out of and currently costs £8.50 per event (find out more here). Public transport is also a good option with Central Station (for trains, Metro and buses) being a short walk from the arena
Why not plan to make a day of it? There isn't much info around at the moment but there will be lots of festive activities taking place in Newcastle alongside the show's run here
Although the show takes place in December, in previous years, it has not been 'Christmas' themed
Timings for this year's show have not been released yet but it's usually 1 hour 45 minutes including an interval
I would recommend for all ages and have personally taken my children from being toddlers. You know yourself whether your child will enjoy the show / is likely to sit through it. You will see all ages there though and it's nice and relaxed with kids shuffling about / climbing on parent's knees / dancing and singing at the top of their voices

It's time for my favourite announcement.......
