Top 5 Tips for Seeing Frozen …

October 24, 2018 By admin

Since my Tips for Seeing Frozen on Ice were such a hit, I’m back to share some tips for seeing Frozen on Broadway, one of the most popular shows in town. Read on for your chance to win two tickets!

Top 5 Tips for Seeing Frozen on Broadway and Ticket Giveaway

Top 5 Tips for Seeing Frozen on Broadway and Ticket Giveaway

For the first time in forever, Anna and Elsa are starring in a full-length theatrical Broadway production. This version of the popular movie about sisterly love wows crowds with a few new songs, awesome special effects, loveable characters and phenomenal singing. The St. James Theater has truly been transformed into a winter wonderland with falling snow, stunning sets and everyone from Arendelle including the adorable Olaf.

Although little princesses will want to see this one, I think it is best for kids 6 and up. For younger kids, I recommend sticking with Disney on Ice productions, Walt Disney World and Disney Land Shows and the awesome productions aboard Disney Cruises.

 Top 5 Tips for Seeing Frozen on Broadway

1) Take kids to a few live shows (think Pinkalicous, Annie Jr. Gazillion Bubbles) before seeing a Broadway production. Once you’re convinced they can sit and focus for extended periods of time while staying quiet you’ll all be ready for Broadway. Here are some of my favorite theatrical productions for kids.

2) Arrive early. New York traffic and Times Square streets can get very hectic so be sure to arrive extra early. You’ll want some extra time to grab booster seats and check out the souvenirs.

3) Make a pit stop before the show starts no matter what! The show is 2.5 hours which is a long time for little bladders. There is one intermission but bathroom lines are crazy long and you will be stressed about getting back to your seats in time.

4) Discuss Broadway etiquette in advance. Be sure to reinforce the rules about staying quiet and not singing during the show. Show your kids some YouTube videos from the show so they will know what to expect the characters to look like on stage. Not all characters look like their movie counterparts which may raise some questions.

5) Prepare for everything. Bring non-messy snacks and beverages as well as wipes, ziplocs and a few small non-electronic toys. If kids need to take a break from the performance, there are live feed monitors located in each level’s lobby so you won’t miss any of the show.

“Frozen” Inspired …

October 17, 2014 By admin

Do you have a Frozen fan in your family?  I thought so.  If you’re looking for a summer Disney getaway that doesn’t involve scorching temperatures and long lines, check out the new Disney cruises aboard the Disney Magic to the Norwegian Fjords.

Frozen, Disney Cruise, Norway, Family Travel, June

“Frozen” Inspired Disney Cruises to Norway Debut in June

This scenic region of Norway served as the inspiration and backdrop for Frozen and Anna and Elsa fans of all ages will recognize the beautiful fjords, scenic glaciers and storybook villages. You’ll enjoy a relaxing getaway while learning abut different cultures, traditions and cuisines.  Just like Epcot, but better!

Options include a 7-night sail departing from Copenhagen on June 6, 2015 that makes stops in Stavanger, Alesud, Geiranger and Bergen, Norway.  There is also a 9-night sailing out of Copenhagen on June 20, 2015 that adds visits to Molde and Olden, Norway.  And if you’ve got some more time, there is an 11-night departure out of Copenhagen on June 29, 2015 with stops in Oslo; Kristians and Stavanger, Norway; Akureyri and Reykjavik, Iceland; Torshavn, Faroe Islands; and Dover, England.

We took a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas and it was a great family-friendly getaway that kept everyone entertained and pampered.

Pricing for the new cruises starts at $1,757 per person for the 7-night all-inclusive journey.  Visit Disney Cruise Line for more details.

If you’d rather explore the area on land, check out Adventures by Disney’s Norway Family Vacation.

Have a great weekend!

Discover Norway, the …

December 3, 2013 By admin

Did you see Disney’s Frozen movie over Thanksgiving weekend?  Us too!  Did you just love it?  Us too!

Globetrotting Mommy - Discover Norway, the inspiration for Disney's Frozen movie

Globetrotting Mommy – Discover Norway, the inspiration for Disney’s Frozen movie

If you were impressed by the movie’s animated version of Norway’s majestic wintery landscape and traditional folk costumes why not check out the real thing?

If you’re the type who wants someone to plan all your vacation details check out Adventures by Disney’s Norway Family Vacation. The 8-day/7-night getaway includes visits to Bergen (the inspiration for Anna and Elsa’s kingdom of Arendelle), Flåm, Geiranger and Oslo. You’ll enjoy fun-filled family activities like river rafting and boating adventures on the fjord, trout fishing, a private Glacier Safari (hello Seven Sisters Waterfall!), visits to cultural attractions (UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Stave Churches and more), folk dancing, culinary activities (cheese-making, yum…), one-of-a-kind meals (dinner in a museum!) and other adventures. Recommended for families with kids age six and up.

If you’re the plan-it-yourself traveler, check out Visit Norway where you can book Norwegian flights (nonstop from New York, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando Los Angeles and San Francisco) and arrange activities like riding a reindeer sled (just like Sven), Fjord excursions, Oslo tours and other activities where you just might catch the area’s famed northern lights, officially known as Aurora Borealis.

I’m adding Norway to my travel bucket list right now…

Bon voyage.
