Disney Live! Mickey's Music Festival {Review} #NY #NJ

I recently had the opportunity to take E, my nephew Ryan and his mom, Kristin, to Disney Live! Mickey's Music Festival at Madison Square Garden in New York City. About the show:

Mickey Mouse and friends rock the world with the stars from The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story in their new touring show Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival.  Disney hits are remixed to the hottest sounds of today featuring hip hop, pop, swing, reggae, rock, country and much more!  The irresistible lineup of performers, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy; Ariel, Sebastian and Ursula; Jasmine, Aladdin and Genie; and Woody, Buzz and Jessie; are among the more than 25 Disney stars featured in this jam session fit for the entire family!  You can’t resist dancing, singing, playing your air-guitar and laughing with this band of characters!  Come join them at Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival for a lively concert experience guaranteed to deliver enough rockin’ memories to last a lifetime.

The show began shortly after we took our seats and the kids started clapping their hands and stomping their little feet to "Let's Rock the Mouse", a number that featured Mickey, Minnie and the gang!

A short while later, Mickey tries to play an old lamp as an instrument which releases the genie from Aladdin! I was actually singing along to a few of the songs which included "A Whole New World" Which is one of my favorite songs from my own childhood.

E has never seen Aladdin or The Little Mermaid but was dancing to the music and popular songs from both movies. At one point, the mermaids were dancing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" which was fun and a popular song that the crowd sang along to. There were also some other well know songs heard from musicians such as Black Eyed Peas, Toni Basil, and Sly and the Family Stone. 

The kids loved when Goofy accidentally sent Woody and Jessie from Toy Story to "infinity and beyond" where they are rescued by Buzz Lightyear! A meteor shower (large bouncy balls) are bounced into the audience! The crowd in front of us went wild, tossing the meteors back and forth to each other. It looked like so much fun, I wish we had been closer to the stage but it was great to watch!

The show lasted about 90 minutes with a 15 minute intermission which in my opinion is perfect timing. At the end of the show we headed over to the front of the stage for a photo meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

This was by far my favorite show that I've taken E to. It was very stimulating, interactive and age appropriate. Bottom line, We all had a blast! I highly recommend seeing Disney Live! Mickey's Music Festival! Even if your child isn't familiar with the characters, if they enjoy music they will probably love the show!
