This May, Disney On Ice is coming back to Tampa. And would you believe, after all my years as a parent living within an hour-ish drive of Disney itself, I have never taken my family to see Disney On Ice?
Well that’s about to change. My family was just offered free tickets to see Disney On Ice this year. As you can imagine, I am thrilled and all kinds of crazy excited for it. It features all of my kids’ favorite characters from a variety of Disney movies. I can’t wait to see their faces when they find out they’re going, I know they will be fired up for some on ice Disney Magic. They will be because they don’t know yet. Why? Disney On Ice will be coming to Tampa May 20th – 23rd and, as luck would have it, their birthdays happen to be coming up at the end of May and early June. So it will be a birthday surprise. And how perfect is that since this year’s Disney On Ice is titled “Let’s Celebrate!”
(Picture me doing the giddy mommy running man. And now the cabbage patch. So what if my dance moves were only kind of relevant twenty years ago, I’m totally fired up.)
But here’s the really REALLY good news. You all get to go too! Well, some of you do anyway. I have two stashes of complimentary passes to give away here. One set of two tickets and one set of four tickets. They are valid for any of the St. Pete Times Forum show times. Disney on Ice will be here in Tampa on Thursday, May 20th 2010 through Sunday, May23rd 2010. I am also going to end this giveaway with plenty of time to spare because these complimentary passes can only be redeemed for tickets at the St. Pete Times Forum box office (which is open Monday – Friday, 10am – 6pm). And in order to get decent seats, you need to get your tickets early. (Please note you can purchase extra tickets to go along with these at the box office also.)
However, I want to make this give away count for something. So I’ve added a twist. It’s a good one, I promise.
As you know, I am walking for the March of Dimes in the Tampa Friends of Maddie group. I would like entrants for this give-away to help promote the March of Dimes in some way. So here is how you can enter.
How to Enter
You may enter as many times as you would like, just be sure to include your email address. Each entrance will be counted as long as at least one of the following is completed on or before May 2nd :
1) Tweet about the March of Dimes or the Tampa Friends of Maddie Group. Be sure to comment back here so I know you tweeted. Your tweet could be as simple as this: “Please support your local March of Dimes group here: http://tiny.cc/6gjsl so that I can go to Tampa’s Disney on Ice! (Via @morningsidemom)”.
2) Tweet about and link to this contest. Be sure to comment back here and link @morningsidemom so I know you tweeted.
3) Write a post about the March of Dimes or the Tampa Friends of Maddie Group. Be sure to leave a comment with the link here.
4) Comment here how you support the March of Dimes in any way. (That could be as simple as telling me you will be walking for the March of Dimes or that you donated a few dollars at Publix to the March of Dimes. Because, yes, Publix is accepting donations right now for the March of Dimes. Go now, and donate.)
(While you are at it, I would be most grateful if you considered donating to the Friends of Maddie – see the link to the right. I don’t want to count this as an entrance since these passes can not be sold in any way. But please consider donating anyway just because you are a really really nice person.)
The contest closes on May 2nd at midnight. Each time you enter will be counted separetely and two winners will be picked at random. I will email the winners and then announce them here.
Good luck and thank you for supporting the March of Dimes!
UPDATE:
The winners have been announced! Check here. If you didn’t win, that’s ok because I’ve also posted a promo code for discounted tickets so go check it out.
Disclaimer: My family has received four tickets to attend Disney On Ice. I have not been paid to promote Disney On Ice.

I am a single mom of four and would love to be entered in the contest for the free tickets. I could not afford on my own. I do not have a lot of money but I have always supported march of dimes. I will tweet and blog about how important this really is. Thank you, geriann
Thank you C for doing this. We have always given the dollar or so to the supermarkets in order to support the March of Dimes, this time we just gave a little more because of you. Your passion to help others is one of the many reasons why I admire you so much. You could have done a give away for just answering a riddle but instead you brought awareness to a very worthy cause. You are an inspiration. Really.
Shared it on Facebook, does that count for an entry? ; )
I support March of dimes!! I made a donation to Tampa Triplets Mommies March of Dimes Team yesterday!!
Donated at Publix! I don’t have a twitter account, but will be happy to share this on FB. And we only need the two tix if we are selected as the winners.
I’ve posted this on my FB page again. I’m hoping friends and family would consider at least making a donation to the March of Dimes even if they aren’t interested or live too far to participate in the contest.
Gave at Publix Yesterday! Have a great walk tomorrow.
I donate to March of Dimes at Publix everytime I can. Thank you for the great contest!
I just posted about March of Dimes and Friends of Maddie on facebook, if that counts!
