Treat your children, grandchildren, or some special little guests to an exciting evening of Disney on Ice! Wednesday, October 29 is opening night for Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey at HP Pavilion. The performance begins at 7:30 PM.

Thanks to a generous donation from Disney and NBC11, the Friends of Guadalupe River Park & Gardens have a number of tickets to sell for the opening night performance at a discounted price of $10.00 each. The entire proceeds from the sale of these tickets remain with the Friends and will be used for our children's education programs.
