So, do you buy those Disney On Ice tickets for the O2? Yes. Absolutely. But go in prepared. Check the O2 Arena website for seat reviews—some seats have “restricted view” because of a giant pillar. That pillar is named Bob, and he will ruin your view of the finale. Also, bring earplugs for yourself. The show is loud, the kids are louder, and you’ll need them. Or don’t. Embrace the chaos. Let the magic of Disney thunder through your soul.
Just remember: after the final bow, your child will ask for a $30 toy from the official stall. And you’ll buy it, because you’ve been brainwashed by the ice. Now, go forth, brave parent. Click that buy button. Survive the queue. And may the odds—and Mickey’s giant skates—be ever in your favor.
