My kids love the show Imagination Movers. I was actually considering getting tickets for their latest tour but at around $20-40 a ticket and with my daughter only being 2 years old, I figured I’d pass. So I was really happy to see that Disney aired an Imagination Movers in Concert special on Sunday. Don’t worry if you missed it as they are airing it at various times this week on Disney.
Last night, we had our own little “In-Home Concert.” Here’s how to have your own:
1) You’ll need to record Imagination Movers in Concert on Disney.
2) Line up a few chairs in front of your TV.
3) Tape numbers to the backs or arms of the chairs and then create tickets with the same corresponding numbers.
4) Set up a refreshment/ticket stand. We have a Puppet Show Theater
5) Put up pricing for tickets and snacks/food. I timed ours around suppertime and had hot dogs, chips and milk/OJ to buy. Then later they could buy some popcorn. I kept the pricing really simple since they are so young and they each got a ziploc bag with some money for the night. Note: Since my kids are little the hot dogs were cut-up and put into bowls with lids. You’ll want to make sure they are done with their food before starting the show since they’ll be dancing and you don’t want them to choke.
6) Have them find their seats with the right number and make them wait before you start the show. (just like a real concert.)
7) Partway through, we paused the show, saying it was intermission, and then they enjoyed some popcorn. (again…don’t let them dance with food to prevent choking)
8 ) Just have a great time and you’ll get a lot of exercise from dancing with the show! I laughed so hard at how my kids were dancing. To them, it was like the real thing.
We had a really fun time last night. While we didn’t get to experience a real concert, the kids did enjoy the concept of it and we saved ourselves $80-160. I guess they had a great time because they’ve been playing pretend concert all morning! 
You can always record the show and save the concert night for a weekend or special day thing–like their birthday. Hoping you’ll be able to have a fun time with your kids this way, too!

Thank you! My son and I caught the end of the concert the other morning. But this is such a great idea! I think I will DVR the concert and do this over the weekend. I think my 5 year old will enjoy the “concert” as well!
Thanks, Mary! My kids had so much fun. I hope yours do, too!

What a cute idea. I wonder if I can do that as a substitute for seeing Taylor Swift this summer with my girls?
Maybe she’ll have one on TV, too. Then you could do both.
It really was fun. I figured we’ll wait to spend the money on a concert when they are a little older and can appreciate it more.
