On ice

What I learned at the Disney On Ice show this afternoon:

• I get all emotional at The Little Mermaid even when it's being performed by skaters in glittery costumes.
• Lilo & Stitch doesn't translate well to the rink.
• You can't go wrong with giant inflatables.
• Cady Gray thinks Prince Eric can't kiss Ariel because she can't talk.
• Flying Darling children make me nervous. I wanted to stop the show to double-check their rigging.
• The zamboni that came out between acts was not Disney-themed.
• Concessionaires roamed the aisles yelling "Cotton candy! Flounder hats!"
• Archer amused himself by keeping track of how many characters were on the ice and how many were backstage.
• Grown-up Nala on ice is kinda hot.
• I wish there were a pill I could take that would turn me into someone who knows how to skate.
