We went to Disney on Ice
at Stadium Malawati Shah Alam on 25th March 2017 and we had a blast!
I went with both my
children (a 5 yr old and a 5 months old) and it worked out fine.
Here are 7 tips for
mommies with young children in surviving Disney on Ice in Malaysia
#1 Book the earliest
show of the day
There are three shows in
one day. The earliest is at 11 am, the middle show is at 3 pm and the evening
show is at 7pm. I booked the earliest show because firstly, my young children are
*happier* in the morning and *crankier* in late afternoon. Usually, they're
already tired by 2pm. Happy kids, happy mom right? Get them out of the
house early!
Secondly, it’s easier to
find a parking spot. If you go to the middle show, cars from the first show
will be leaving the event place and it would take a longer time to find parking
compared to a relatively shorter time if you go to the earliest show. If you have bought tickets to the middle show, it's okay, just leave the house earlier.
#2 Book seats in the
mid-ranged price
I bought the category 3 seats
that cost me RM148 per ticket. The cheapest ticket price is the category 4 seats
that cost RM98. If I were to go again, I'd spend a little more and pay for the
category 3 seats that cost RM188 per ticket because the view would be perfect! As you can see, we sat too further up.
#3 Find seating in the
middle section
The Disney on Ice
characters interact the most with audience in the B18 section in the seat map
image below. I sat in the C18 section, which is above B18.
This was our view.
If you want your
children to be able to take pictures with the Disney characters, then you ought to
buy the rinkside and category 1 tickets. My daughter would have been super
happy if she could take photos with her favourite characters, but alas the tickets
cost too much for me!
If your aim is to fully experience Disney on
Ice then I highly recommend that you buy the Category 3 tickets, the best seats
are in B18.
We watched Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Finding Dory, The Lion King, Toy Story, and of course the highlight of the show - Frozen. There's a short clip of Elsa on ice in this post below.

#4 Bring another adult
to help with the kids' toilet breaks
I went with my husband
and the queue at the men's toilet is a way shorter than the queue at the women's toilet.
That can save precious time for all the family members to enjoy the show.
#5 Dress your girls
up (it's warm in the stadium)
Many other little girls
will be dressing up as their favourite character so your girls might want to
wear their princess dress and accessorize with a tiara and a wand! Girls just want
to have fun. Here's Elsa swirling on ice.
#6 Bring an umbrella,
leave the stroller
It takes about 10
minutes to walk from the parking lot to the event hall at the stadium Malawati Shah Alam so bring an umbrella; rain or shine. Stadium Malawati isn't stroller friendly
as you have to climb a few staircases so consider baby-wearing if you're
bringing an infant or a toddler.
#7 Bring extra cash
There's plenty of
'gizmos, gadgets, galore' like the words of Ariel the mermaid. Since I've been
to Disneyland Paris, the merchandise is similar to those sold there. Although,
they seem expensive at RM50 per item, the ones I bought in Paris in 2008 are
still in good condition. You pay for the same quality and you dont have to go
to Paris. In actual fact, the merchandise in Disneyland Paris would end up
costing RM60-RM70 per item when converted from Euro to MYR. Apart from
merchandise, there are also plenty of food and drinks stalls ranging from
Starbucks to Krispy Kreme doughnuts to Kenny Rogers.
Above all, remember to
have fun!
