Playhouse Disney review
Oh geez, what a day. I took the kiddies to see Playhouse disney Live on stage in Richland this weekend. It was fun...not sure it was $60 fun, but at least they had a good time...kinda..
We finally get going in the morning. I've thought of everything. Everyone has attempted to potty before we go and we are off.
I am completely bombarded with questions the entire trip...are we there yet mom? How much longer now?
Thank goodness they finally fall asleep. However, I am such a bad judge of time...thanks Seattle. Ever since I've lived there, I'm always over estimating how long it'll take me to get anywhere.
So we are there one hour early. I'm thinking I really dont' want to let them just wander around looking at all the over priced stuff, so I stop by Target. I tell the boys they have $10 each. We run back to the toy section and they find something.
Josh is a bit over $10 and the other under, so at least it worked out in the end.
We get to the show parking lot and it's a zoo. no kidding. There are minivans as far as the eye can see. There are parents who are already mad and yanking their kids along. My boys instantly freeze and are death gripping my hands.
We walk inside and there is Disney everywhere! The boys don't really seem to care too much b/c they are just excited about the toys that are waiting for them in the car.
We are seated at the opposite side of the arena, so we start to walk. The boys are quietly following me, no screaming "I want this" or "Look at that" I silently say a prayer of thanks.
We finally get to our seats...way way way up there. Section QQ, row 18...there's only one row behind us and we are at the top. I get the Josh seated and turn to sit the other when I hear a snap and scream.
Apparently there is a weight minimum for the seats to work in the Toyota Cetner. I inadvertently sat Josh down and when I let go, it folded him up in the seat.
Yea, he was done forthe rest ofthe show. He only wanted to sit in Mom's lap for the rest of the time.
As I'm watching people file in, I'm amazed at the amount of money people drop on this thing. Leo's wand, which I think if I saw correctly was $22 was in the hands of nearly every child there... I was again glad that my kids seemed totally uninterested. They just sat there, with their hands folded in their laps.
Several people commented on how good they were being. I couldn't tell you why, they just sat silently with their hands folded for nearly 20 minutes while we waited forthe show to start.
The show finally starts( after Hud yells , "Geez this is taking forever...")
Josh buries his head in my lap and doesn't really see much of the show after this. The Postess comes out and delivers invites to Mickey's friends for a music party.
It's an okay premise, but the cheese was layed on pretty thick. In fact, you could say that if they were shitting sunshine, we'd all have a sunburn.
It was pretty cheesy. Hud was pretty excited when Mickey came out and for the rest of thetime. He definately wasn't as into it as other kids were, but I think he liked it.
Basically everyone from Playhouse Disney has to find a song to get to Mickey's party.
I would tell you how it ended, but I don't know. When it got close to the end, I asked the boys if they still wanted to go to McDonalds for lunch...then it was all done for Josh.
He perked right up and was done with the show...
So much for that.
