I feel like it has been forever since I've wrote a blog post! I like to try and write some posts beforehand so that when I am visiting Reece or he is visiting me, I already have posts readily written and ready to post, but I just didn't have time to do that before this trip.
While I was away in Northern Ireland, we went to the SSE Arena in Belfast and went to see Disney on Ice. Since we visited Disneyland Paris in May, we've both been Disney mad, and attending the show was actually Reece's idea! I, of course, said yes straight away and we booked tickets a month in advance. We got pretty good seats, a little off centre and mid way up the stall. I really couldn't have complained. I think for this type of show, it doesn't matter where you sit too much. Not everything is at the front and centre of the rink and the characters move so quick anyway. I think myself and Reece were the only people there who didn't have children, but we enjoyed it just as much, if not more!
I managed to get a handful of decent photos, but if you would like to see front row photos, I would suggest taking a look at @thedisneyguy62 on Instagram. There are some videos to check out as well!

I also picked up a few bits of merchandise that was being sold at little stalls all around the stadium.
I picked up a programme for the event, which was £9. The programme contains photography of the princesses and the ice skaters who are playing the characters. I thought this was a good keepsake of the day. I also bought two snow cone cups, the one on the left lights up when you press a button underneath. I got the straw with Olaf on with that for free. I also really wanted the Mickey head cup, so I bought that without the ice inside, but as soon as we sat down I realised I should have gotten it with ice for Reece as it was no extra cost. I got the straw with the see through Mickey with that cup. I will use the tankard style cup a lot, it's a really good size, the other one is mainly for display.
As we were in Belfast, we visited the Disney Store. Unfortunately, my city doesn't have a Disney Store, so I always like to visit one when I am somewhere that has one. We actually visited the Disney Store a couple of times, and I made an online order while I was away, so the following photos are a collective haul.

I'm really pleased with the items that I purchased while I was away. Not all of these items were from the Disney Store, so I will link them all down below as some of these will make brilliant Christmas gifts!
