It’s the third day of the new year! I may still be in confinement, but I’m counting down to the things I can look forward to this year. One of them is Disney On Ice’s Treasure Trove, which will start on 19 March.
It’ll be a first for me and the kids so I’m looking forward to it and I know Vera will love to see her favourite Disney princesses.
This year’s theme, Treasure Trove, will be an adventure with 50 of Disney’s most loved characters, featuring a medley of Disney classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Rapunzel.
