Two Big Chances for Kids To Get a Mickey and Minnie Fix this Month

1/17/18 - By Li Starr

Want to squeeze a little Disney excitement into your weekend without taking the little ones to Anaheim? It's easier than you might think this week, because Live! Mickey and Minnie’s Doorway to Magic is visiting Long Beach Terrace Theatre & Citizens Business Bank Arena, Ontario. Comparing these tickets to the hefty price of a day pass to Disney is a bargain, and your kids will thank you: win-win!

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Little ones get to see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, and Goofy without trekking across Disneyland distances, as 25 favorite characters frolic live on stage. Expect fabulous costumes, beautiful sets, and some professional puppetry to bring your favorite Disney stories to life—whichever ones they may be. It's kind of like Disney on Ice without the ice.

The stories are all the classics: the Fairy Godmother transforms Cinderella’s rags into a beautiful ball gown; the Toy Story gang breaks out of Andy’s toy box, and Rapunzel and Flynn Rider go floating among the lanterns. Tell kids to keep their eyes peeled for Snow White, Tinker Bell, and Aladdin’s Genie, too. Given the large cast, kids won't have to wait long to see a favorite. 

In Long Beach, performances are January 18 at 6:30pm and January 19 at 1pm and 6:30pm. In Ontario, performances are January 20-21 at 1pm and 4pm. Tickets start at $20.
