Giveaway: Toy Story 3 On Ice (Chicago)

Three (ha!) guesses what the most popular thing in our house is right now. Toy Story is ruling our lives. We have the Action Links Stunt Set (or at least part of it), and Little Miss has her Buzz Lightyear Build-A-Bear. We've seen the movie untold times. The only toy Little Miss wanted from Disney over Christmas was a Lotso bear who has replaced Snowy as her favorite stuffed animal. The little figures are the ones that come out to play even more than Legos now.

All of that is why I'm not telling the wee ones that Toy Story 3 is coming to Chicago via Disney on Ice. At least not yet. I don't think I could handle the level of pandemonium that would errupt. We've been to several Disney on Ice shows from Feld Entertainment, and we've loved every one of them. I know this one won't be any different. Really, they could just have Buzz and Woody skate out and around the ice once, and the wee ones would be thrilled.

Knowing Feld, the show will go far above and beyond that, however!

In fact, I think Feld described the show better than I ever could: The summer’s biggest hit movie, Toy Story 3, and memorable moments from Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are hitting the ice in this sensational live production coming to your hometown! Catch all the heroic action when Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and the Toy Story gang escape from the rambunctious tots of Sunnyside Daycare and race for home, in their most daring adventure ever! A few new faces join the fun, including Barbie’s groovy bachelor Ken and Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. It’s the biggest Toy Story experience on ice, jam-packed with fast-paced adventure such as Buzz’s galactic battle with Emperor Zurg and a hoe-down at Woody’s Roundup. Rediscover the humor, friendship and charm of Toy Story when Disney On Ice presents Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story 3 takes family fun to infinity and beyond!

And it's coming to Chicago. Soon, in fact! Once again, it will start at the Allstate Arena and then move to the United Center. The shows are:
