A little bit of magic

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo

If I were ever to compile a list of things that make Britannia less complete than it could be, a Disney Park would figure fairly prominently. What little experience I had was back when I was four, and such fleeting memories provide little of substance to truly dwell on in the dark hours that come. What Britannia does manage to get is the whole Disney on Ice extravaganza. It's probably not as nostalgic as it is jaw-droppingly wonderful though.

The desparate bid to obtain tickets after Ticketmaster insisted they were sold out weeks in advance made for quite an exciting runup to eid. Actually obtaining seats as fantastic as the ones we sat in was quite miraculous to say the least. But 3:45 on Monday it was, and finally that leave I had applied for paid off.

The moment we got there made it seem like the entrance to Disney Land anyway. What with the multitude of people selling colourful pink and purple balloons, frilly hats and winding light-up toys, it was a shame none of it was entireuly suitable anymore. A sea of children rushed around dressed in their frilly costumes and bubbling with excitement. And there was the massive Wembley Arch thing, rising over a fun little fountain complete with alternating mood lights. But that's really only the outside.

So we went through more fun stalls, and sat down. The lights went out. Little flicker lights people had bought otuside suddenly filled the massive hall in a variety of colours. And then in came Mickey and Minnie XD Followed by dazzling shows with the most brilliant skate-choreography for pieces from Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Snow White (for who everyone went wild. Fabulous really!). And the intermission was followed by a brilliant remake of major portions from Cinderella. Joy joy joy. I'd write more but that would kill it. Though Mulan was cut insanely short, and Gaston was a bit psychotic, everything else was perfect. And while the video trailer and pictures can't even begin to capture any of it (so I'm glad I didn't take a camera!), I can at least point that out.

Yes, well the name's only due to the focus. And it was so pink! Can't wait to go again next year...

In other news, I can now officially have lunch again. Though I'm still so used to that, haven't even bothered to have any water yet. And there's only under 3.5 hours to go. Much wishings of goodness and all, etc etc etc.

Party on dudes.
