Disney know a thing or two about bringing the perfect couple together and making dreams come true. So I can think of no better coupling than Disney On Ice's rink spectacular and Disney’s Frozen .

Approaching Wembley Arena, it was clear I was not alone in that opinion either. As far as the eye could see, there was a billow of ice-blue acrylic dresses and blonde plaited princess wigs. And that was just the mums.

I joke of course. We mums may have a fondness for Frozen but our daughters' passion for Elsa and Anna burns so fiercely they make hardcore Directioners look like fair-weather fans.

"I can't wait, I can't wait," hyperventilated my four year old, Cara - the exact same message she'd relayed at 6am that morning, seconds before pile-driving her slumbering father.

Cara, her best pal Amelie and I were at Wembley to check out Disney On Ice's new Magical Ice Festival. It's their first ever ice show to feature the Frozen phenomenon, and it's touring the UK until mid-May.

It's not just about the F Word, however. Hosted by Micky and Minnie, it's essentially the greatest hits of the last 25-odd years of the Disney princesses, with all the best bits compressed into a carnival of glittery costumes, insanely catchy group song 'n dance numbers and beautiful ice dance duets.

It was like watching Cara's DVD collection on fast-forward with a few triple toe-loops thrown in.

First, we had a mash-up of The Little Mermaid and Madonna's Vogue performed by Ariel's sisters Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana (King Triton and his wife obviously didn't get very far into the Baby Names book).

Then, to great excitement, on scuttled Sebastian the Crab for a dizzying, dazzling group performance of Under The Sea, where the entire contents of the London Aquarium appear to have been upended onto the ice.

Then it was the turn of Ariel to take centre stage and recount the tale of how she met, saved and married her prince, Eric.

So besotted was the lass, she didn't even notice that the hottie of the cartoon appeared to have been replaced by Simon Cowell sporting stripy blusher and ice-skates. Still, as Disney will tell you, love is blind.

Next we were treated to the best bits from Tangled, including the brawny tavern criminals camping it up for I've Got A Dream, Cher tribute act Mother Goppel hissing through Mother Knows Best and Rapunzel rocking a braid that had 'YouTube vlogger tutorial' stamped all over it.

By the time the interval came, the kiddies were well and truly warmed up for the Frozen extravaganza to come: little girls pointed excitedly at the giant snowflake suspended from the ceiling and pleaded with their mums for an overpriced 'Olaf Slushie' (the poor snowman must've really gone too close to the fire this time).

Before we could get to Arendelle, though, we paid a visit to a different magical kingdom. The initial crestful-fallen 'oh' from the kids when they realised we'd gone on a detour via The Beauty And The Beast soon vanished as Belle glided onto the ice and into the Beast's heart. Aw.

Then finally, FINALLY, it was time for the main event. And wow, was it worth the wait. This production really knows how to pack in all the hits, from the princess sisters opening up the gates of the kingdom to For The First Time In Forever, and Anna and Hans goofing around to Love Is An Open Door to a (sadly too brief) burst of Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?

The supporting characters got plenty of stage time too and I especially liked comedy reindeer Sven and his gargantuan tongue that shot out each time he came within snaffling distance of a carrot. (Although it's hard not to wonder if the poor soul playing his backside is sobbing inside the reindeer suit about his crushed Winter Olympic dreams.)

And of course the second biggest cheer of the show was reserved for Olaf when he broke into In Summer, a spectacular number accompanied by a whole rink-full of flowers and butterflies on iceskates.

The loudest cheer of all though? Well, take a wild guess....

As the snow machine filled the air with a magical blizzard and that huge snowflake finally descended from the roof for Elsa's big moment, I must confess it wasn't just Cara singing along word-perfect to Let It Go.

It was a genuinely spine-tingling moment, and I don't mind admitting the sight of Cara singing and acting along with all her heart (there was an imaginary cloak being slung away in full Ice Queen mode at one point) had me a bit teary.

When it was all over, an ecstatic Cara turned to me and sighed: "Mummy that was so good I feel like I want to watch it all over again RIGHT NOW." Kid, I couldn't have put it better myself. Let me go, let me go...

* Disney On Ice is touring the UK this month. Don't worry if you can't catch it, the Frozen gang will be in the autumn for Disney On Ice Worlds of Enchantment. Small boys may also be glad to hear the new show will also feature Toy Story and Cars. Tickets are on sale now, see www.disney.co.uk/disney-on-ice/worlds-of-enchantment/
