The earlybird catches the cheaper tickets

The ‘Magic of Disney’ is a real and wonderful thing. And you can see it in the smile that spreads across a child’s (or adult’s) face as they see the familiar, much-loved characters from stories old and new, delight and entertain in the expertly-choreographed, ice-dancing, sing-a-long musical spectacular, known as ‘Disney On Ice’. Taking place in October, this chapter of dynasty magic is called Disney On Ice presents Mickey and Friends’, and is the only opportunit kids will get to see the licensed characters live and in person outside of the parks. The show is produced by Feld Entertainment Inc., is priced from just Dhs84 and provides the highh octane fuel for forging forever memories. And, polite alarm call, there are only 10 days left to bag those earlybird discounts.
