Disney on Ice is back in the Northwest this year with their “Dare to Dream” performance. This performance will be perfect for all of your little princesses as they will begin the show with an aerialist act with Rapunzel & Flynn Rider, then a royal ball with Cinderella, a beautiful lighting display in Tiana’s New Orleans bayou & they will finish off with a grand finale with all the Disney princesses. Now, Disney on Ice is definitely not a frugal experience, but we know that so many of you save in many areas of life so you can be able to do some of these special opportunities with your kids. However, since it can be pretty spendy, we are always looking for discounts & ways to bring the costs down for this fun experience.

Here are a few pictures from the Disney on Ice Toy Story show we attended last year:
We went to the Disney on Ice show last year which featured the Toy Story 3 Cast & my girls were completely enthralled with the performance. These shows are truly spectacular especially for those who don’t have the opportunity to head to Disneyland or Disney World on vacation. You definitely feel a part of the magic of Disney when you attend one of these shows! I love watching their skilled ice skating skills while dancing in these beautiful costumes. They’re just so graceful!
Saving Money at Disney On Ice:
If you have a specific budget for this event, make sure to consider beforehand whether or not you will be food or souvenirs. This is where you can really blow your budget by giving in to all the fun items they have featured before, during, & after the performance. We let our girls know ahead of time whether or not we were going to buy a souvenir & what the limit was if we did allow them to buy 1 thing. Otherwise, we would have dealt with the begging at the end (although they still insisted on wanting their picture in front of these fun items & wanted to look around).
Another idea is to buy something ahead of time from the Disney Store & then you can bring that to the show in a backpack & give the item to your child there if you really want to give your child a special gift to remember the experience, but don’t want to pay the high prices you’ll find at the venue.
We also make sure to eat before we leave (depending on the time of the performance) or maybe go out to lunch or dinner (using some restaurant coupons, of course) after the performance if we want to make it a special outing, but we’re getting more options & paying less than the venue prices and the food is better, too! :)
How many of you are wanting to take your kids to Disney on Ice this year! Let us know if you hear of any other special discounts!

Thanks! I love all your money saving tips! When I click on the links for “discounted tickets” and “$5 off” it takes me to “page not found”. Just letting you know! And my daughter and I will definitely be going. Also, in Kent at the Showare if you have a group of I think 12 or more you can contact the box office and they give pretty good deals! I did that with a group of friends for Toy Story on Ice.
Hi Leah – Make sure to try another browser – I just tried those links & they’re all working for me. Great tip on the group discounts!! That’s definitely a way to save!
Does the discount only apply to the “upper” seats?
Which discount are you looking at, Maria? If it’s for the kids seats, I think they are just for the $18 seats discounted to $12, but I’m not positive which seats are included.
Where did you find that information on the free tickets for donating your hair?
