This mom's Frozen 2 review will answer ALL your questions......is it dark? Is it scary? Will my kids love it? It's must read before seeing Frozen 2.

Well, we saw it.  You guys know we've been counting down to the release of Frozen 2 for about a year (I mean look at our Frozen 2 merchandise guide, clearly we're big fans).  From the soundtrack to Frozen costumes, Anna and Elsa are basically members of our family.  And I had HIGH expectations for the follow up to the original Arendelle story.  When I attended the Frozen 2 early press day in September, I got some glimpses into the film.  We learned a couple Frozen 2 secrets, and I saw a handful of scenes.  They were AMAZING, and left me wanting more.  So when we had the chance to screen the movie this weekend, it was a must do.  I was already getting so many questions from you guys…..and knew that a Frozen 2 review was in order.

Frozen 2 Review: Is it scary?

Frozen 2 Review

My Thoughts:

Overall? Gasp, I liked it even more than the original.  I know.  Can you believe it?  It was entertaining, answered OH SO MANY questions I had, and left me loving Anna and Elsa (and Olaf) even more than I already did.  Yes, you find out the truth behind where Elsa got her powers.  Yes, you learn what happened to their parents.  But no spoilers in this Frozen 2 review, you'll have to see it for yourself to get those answers!

Looking for an honest Frozen 2 review? This tells you if it's scary!

Plot: The biggest difference from the first film? The plot is a LOT more intricate.  So much so, that I do think younger kids may have trouble keeping up with the twists and turns.  Lydia definitely had a lot of question on the drive home.  I think there are multiple levels to the plot.  Will kids enjoy it on a simple level? ABSOLUTELY.  Olaf is hysterical, there's a great basic storyline with Anna and Elsa.  Will they understand the details? Probably not.  Those are for the older kids and adults.  I actually think that the film does a great job of providing plot for younger kids but adding in intricacy for the adults and original Frozen fans (who are obviously older now).

Music: One of my biggest questions before both the early press day AND seeing the film? Would the music be as great as the music in the original?  Frozen's epic Let it Go was stuck in our heads (and on repeat in our homes) for about two years.  The entire Frozen soundtrack was a masterpiece (I mean, Let it Go won best original song at the Academy Awards in 2013), and I couldn't IMAGINE that they could repeat that magic.  The same team (Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez) that wrote the songs for the original Frozen, worked on the music for Frozen 2.  Have you heard it yet? The soundtrack was released the day BEFORE we saw the film.  And I was blown away.  Seriously, it's even better than the original.  If you take anything away from this Frozen 2 review besides that you need to see the film, it should be to download the soundtrack.  It's amazing (no spoilers, but Kristoff even has his own epic ballad)

Lydia's Thoughts:

Frozen 2 Review: Is it too scary?!?

Plot: “The story is really good.  I had 14 questions after I saw it.  I liked seeing Elsa and Anna, and they had really pretty dresses on.  Olaf was really funny, and Kristoff sings a cool song.  My mom really liked it.  I think kids will really like this movie!”

Music: 

“I like Frozen 2 better because there's better music.  Into the Unknown is a fun song.”

Is it Scary?

The most common questions I've gotten about the movie…..”Is it scary” “Does Olaf die?” “Does Elsa die?”

This mom's Frozen 2 review will answer ALL your questions......is it dark? Is it scary? Will my kids love it? It's must read before seeing Frozen 2.

Without revealing any major plot twists: in my opinion, the film isn't scary, but it definitely has some darker and more mythical elements that the first film.  There is more action in this film that the first.  You see more danger (especially while the characters are the Enchanted Forest).  There is also a battle scene that replays a few times (but no major violence is shown).  Death is implied, but never SHOWN.  Do I think it's scary? No.  Does the film address some more serious issues? Yes.  Lydia did NOT leave upset at the end.  But I would be prepared to answer questions.

Do You Need to See the First Film Before Seeing Frozen 2?

I love the fact that Frozen 2 is a follow up to the original.  Would you enjoy it as a stand alone film? Absolutely.  However, it's WAY more fun when you've seen the first.  If you haven't watched the original Frozen, I'd definitely suggest watching it before you head to the theatre this week.

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
