Disney On Ice is coming to Cleveland again AND with a NEW show Dare to Dream, which includes characters from the Disney movies Tangled, Princess and the Frog, and Cinderella.  We had a great time when we went to the last Disney on Ice show, Mickey’s Magical Journey, Colton was captivated the entire time.  His friend Hannah said “I don’t want to be ANYWHERE but here, this is SO cool!” while we were there.

If you haven’t experienced a Disney on Ice show it is really something you need to do (I don’t care how old or young you are!).   The ticket prices are really comparable to movie tickets with the coupon codes.  You can use code FAM6 to save $6 off your ticket in advance or you can use code FAM4 to save $4 the Day of the show.

The cheapest tickets are $15
-$6 with Code FAM6
=$9 per ticket!
Movie tickets are like $9.50 now, right?

Since I LOVE to save money I wanted to share my insight from the last Disney on Ice show I went to- I am not sure if this one will be the same way, but hopefully it is and this will help you save some money. 

First- The snow cones at the last show were $13-$15 depending on what cup you got.  Well you can get FREE refills at the Snow Stand.  So what we did was got one when got there and than had it refilled at intermission.  The snow stand is not where you buy the souveniers, but was a seprate stand that only had snow cones.  The guy at the souvenier stand said he would refill it if he wasn’t busy, but the snow stand was right by our seats (at the Covelli Center) so we just went there to get it refilled.

Second- When we left the show they were selling these bags of souveniers for $10 CASH- of course I did not have $10 cash so I couldn’t buy one to see what was in it, but considering the “Light up spinny toys” were $22, $10 for a grab bag of souveniers seemed like a deal if you needed to bring something home for a sibling or something

Third- The concession stands were open, the drinks from them are cheaper than the drinks you buy at the souvenier stand, they just don’t come in the souvenier bottle.

And Fourth- I bought the light up spinny toy and bought the general Mickey Disney on Ice one so I can bring it back to the next Disney on Ice show.  I wasn’t all that keen on spending $22 on the toy, but when I saw Colton’s face light up when I gave him the spinny light up toy, I was glad I bought it for him

So now you know how you can save some money while you make memories at Disney on Ice with your family… How about a giveaway?

FTC Disclosure: Many thanks to Disney for providing the prize for this giveaawy.  I was not compensated for this post, I thought this was a giveaway that my readers would enjoy. 

Did you know my son is Lactose Intolerant?  I breastfed him for the first year and I just had to limit my dairy intake and he was fine.  Than when he turned one and I switched him from breast milk to cows milk he got “the runs” really bad.  My pediatrician recommended giving him soy milk and so he has been on Silk ever since.  Since he on soy (or Almond when that is on sale) I drink Silk milk a lot too, it is really good for you and tastes really good too. 

Take the Silk Challenge!  First there are several varieties of Silk, sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla, chocolate, light, +DHA, Silk Pure Almond and the list goes on- so I am sure that you will find a type of Silk to that you like.  We just tried Chocolate this week, as a special treat for Colton, and it is pretty tasty

To take the Silk challenge you need to use Silk where you used to use milk in your daily routine.  Here are a few ideas:
1. Use Silk in your coffee (I like the vanilla Silk for this!)
2.  In your  cereal
3.  Scrambled Eggs- Unsweetened is recommended for this.  I make Colton’s scrambled eggs and french toast with Silk all the time.

Want to get started?  Here is a $.75/1 Silk Coupon to start your Silk Challenge!

And now for the giveaway!

One lucky Jessica Loves to Save Money reader will win one coupon for a FREE Silk Product and a Silk Branded Chico Bag.

How to enter the giveaway:  Leave a comment below with your entry.  One comment = One Entry.  This giveaway will end on 7/4/11 at 10 PM EST.  Remember only the Mandatory Entry is required, all other entries are to “reward” those that want to do more.

Mandatory Entry:  Tell me one thing you would replace milk with Silk everyday.
