Disney for the whole family

If you want to earn some instant brownie points with a child you have been unable to give due attention to, then a treat at the Disney Live! Mickey's Magic Show is likely to do the trick.

The colourful spectacle, featuring the timeless Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy and a host of other popular Disney characters, is a family-bonding opportunity, apart from entertaining.

It is the first time Disney Live! is touring Europe but it has already visited 30 countries worldwide. The show, being held at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta' Qali, offers children the possibility of attaining their dream of coming up close and personal with the fun-loving mouse.

Mickey's Magic Show is replete with song and dance and, of course, as its name suggests, magic galore. In panto style, children from the audience get the chance to hit the stage and entertain the crowd. It is just a question of choosing from among the many raised hands, waving for attention.

Everyone wants a photograph with Mickey and the fans anxiously queue up after the show, Disney adrenaline still in their blood. Mickey's Magic Show kicked off on Wednesday, with seven performances scheduled until Sunday.

Ticket prices range between €25 and €95 for VIP and front-row tickets.
