Disney on Ice: Review + Discounted Tickets for you!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy.

My family had the pleasure of attending the Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic show last night – what a treat! We’ve never been before, so I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. It was a great family event and we experienced the magic together for the first time! Not only were we entertained (the almost 2-hour show flew by!), but we enjoyed watching the looks on our kids’ faces as they soaked it all in (I’m not entirely sure which “show” was better!). They were completely spellbound!

Many, many of the favorite Disney characters made an appearance: classic Mickey and the gang, the princesses, plus characters from Aladdin, Mulan, Pinnochio, Finding Nemo, Toy Story and more. Tickets to a performance like this are certainly a special thing – and not something we’d usually have room for in our budget. However, in case you’re interested in seeing the show while it’s in town, you can still purchase tickets at a discounted rate.


A special offer! Get a 4-pack of tickets for only $44 for weekday shows (or save $4 off weekend tickets) by logging onto ticketmaster.com and entering the coupon code MOM. [Note: Minimum 4 ticket purchase required; additional tickets available at $11 each. Not valid on Rinkside or VIP seating or with other offers. Service charges and handling will apply].

Remaining Disney on Ice Shows at the Palace of Auburn Hills include:
* Thursday, October 1 at 7:30 pm
* Friday, October 2 at 11:00 am, 3:30 pm, 7:30 pm
* Saturday, October 3 at 11:30 am, 3:30 pm, 7:30 pm
* Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 pm, 5:00 pm

At the show last night, we had the chance to finally meet Kristie and Corrie, 2 of my favorite blog buddies (who just happen to be from Metro Detroit)! You may want to check out their blogs today – they have GREAT pictures of the event!

YOUR FRIENDLY PRINTABLE COUPON REMINDER – LAST DAY to PRINT!
Today is the last day of September and many of the coupons on Coupons.com could disappear! If there were any coupons you were hoping to use for a sale this week, be sure to print them before October 1st, when all the coupons will change! The same is true of most printable coupon sites (RedPlum, SmartSource, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Box Tops, and more!). Coupons.com coupons that match up with sales this week include:

AND A FEW MORE NEW COUPON ARRIVALS…
