Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3

We went to see Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3 yesterday morning at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. We were there an hour early for the 11am show and had time to leisurely walk around, find our seats, take pictures and feel the stadium go from quiet to excited! 

We had VIP floor seating - 4 rows from the stage and i took the aisle seat. I felt proud of myself for booking the seats so close to the stage but my happiness lasted only until 20 minutes before the show when a family of nine (5 adults, 4 kids) took the Row 3 seats and to my disappointment, three big guys sat right in front of me, Racrac and Fil reducing our view to only about 50% :(

But anyway, we enjoyed the show never mind that Racrac sat on my lap almost the whole time so he could see and forget that i had to take pictures and videos in between those big guys ears! hahaha... it wasn't that bad, really, although one lesson learned is to take the lower level bleacher seats next time - not so close to the stage but you have a better overall view.

As for the show, the story was no surprise as i have seen it with Racrac in the theatre/dvd/iPad a million times.  The performers skated effortlessly.  They made it look so easy it's like they're wearing comfortable sneakers.   I love the toy soldiers opening number, the uber cute aliens and funny-looking troll, Woody and Jessie who both performed amazingly well, funny Buzz lightyear in Spanish-mode and of course Barbie, the girl who stole the show. While i find the whole Barbie and Ken segment boring and too long, i have to say that the pair skated beautifully.  With their glides, lifts, spins and twists, you'd think during their entire performance that you are watching the olympics.

Overall it was a fun family outing, something you should not miss if Disney on Ice happens to be in your area. The best part of it was watching our little boy burst into laughter every time his favorite characters come onstage and leaving the show with a smile, lots of stories and his overpriced $20 buzz lightyear light-up toy. ^_^
