Kirkwood Teen Ice Skates with Mickey Mouse, Disney on Ice Stars

Everyone's favorite mouse made a pitstop at the Webster Groves Ice Arena to skate with other stars of Disney on Ice's Rockin' Ever After show and children from Variety Club.

"Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E."

At least, that's what the children part of Variety Club can say after ice skating with the Mouse himself and other stars of the newest Disney on Ice show in Webster Groves.

Variety Club, the disabled children's charity, treated its Adventure Camp participants to a free skate at Webster Groves Ice Arena Thursday. Performers from Disney on Ice's "Rockin' Ever After" show stopped by to pitch in, gearing up for their opening night. The show runs in St. Louis March 21-24 at the Scottrade Center.
