Parents, if your kids are anything like mine, you've been listening to "Let It Go" pretty much non-stop since "Frozen" hit theaters. Now, between Halloween and the Disney on Ice adaptation at the Giant Center, it's possible that your exposure to this (admittedly delightful) Disney story is about to reach critical mass.

Fear not! I'm here to help. We'll get through this together, you guys.

Here are my tips for how your family can best enjoy Disney on Ice presents "Frozen" with the least amount of stress!

While planning your trip:

Give the movie (and soundtrack) a break beforehand.

"Frozen" is full of really great songs. We all know them by heart, whether we want to or not. ("Love Is An Open Door" is my favorite, if you must know.) So if you want to avoid being sick of them, give yourself a break around the house whenever possible so that you can better enjoy them during the show. They're also going to be playing as pre-show music. Just FYI.

Consider your seats carefully.

Our seats were in the first row, above the actual floor seats. This might sound great in theory, and it was nice to see the skater's faces and expressions from that close. However, being so low to the ground meant that we couldn't see their feet at all, and so missed out on some of the actual skating. And since families were still trickling in as the show was starting, and would have to make trips to bathrooms and whatnot, it means our view was obstructed a few times. It might be worth considering seats from a higher vantage point to get a better view of the skating.

Feed the kids before arriving.

The Giant Center has food available, but if your kids are like mine, they'll demand food because they're starving, but then eat a few bites and insist they don't really like it. Sigh. Also, there's not really any convenient places to eat. For adults, this isn't really a big deal, but do you really need to held your child juggle a platter of chicken fingers on their lap? Go with the snacks instead.

Dress everyone comfortably.

I saw lots of kids in costume, which is of course a lot of fun. But it might be helpful to bring along some more practical wardrobe items as well. Shoes, in particular, will be important - she might think those plastic Elsa heels are really awesome, but there will be a lot of walking to get to your seats. Your return trip will be more comfortable in sneakers. And a nice soft coat to sit on never hurts, especially if it gives the kids a boost to see better.

Give yourself enough travel time.

The doors open for the show an hour beforehand, and you'll want to give yourself plenty of time to navigate the traffic and parking. This will be particularly true for audiences coming to the Sunday morning performance, as several roads in Hershey will be closed for the Hershey Half Marathon. Get more info here.

Be prepared for long waits.

A little patience goes a long way. In all likelihood, your children will be doing a lot of sitting, whether it be waiting to park, waiting for the show to start, or waiting to get out of the parking lot. It never hurts to have something in the car to keep them occupied.

Upon arrival:

Be ready to spend some money on merchandise.

There is no shortage of things to buy. Some of your options include a program for the show ($15, $20 for matching coloring book), plush dolls of Anna, Elsa and other Disney princesses ($20-$38) or pictures with cardboard cutouts of "Frozen" characters ($22-$25). The two snow cones for my daughters cost around $35, together with commemorative "Frozen" mugs and the Olaf straw/spoons (we call them "stoons"). The coolest piece of merchandise I saw was a plush Olaf doll that can come apart and re-attach with velcro. Oh, and there's all sorts of sparkly light-up doodads, and vendors will be literally everywhere, including walking through the seats. So if you're not ready to buy something ...

... be ready for tears.

Can you really put a price tag on happiness? Maybe talk with the kids before you get there about what they can or can't get.

Find (and use) the bathrooms early.

Lines will be extremely long at intermission, and the men's and ladies' rooms aren't always close to one another. Your best bet is to scout them out upon arrival to make sure you know where you're going.

Prepare for crowds.

This may sound obvious, but there's going to be a lot of people there. Brace yourself. It's also one of those places where kids can get lots very easily. And if yours just happens to be dressed up as Elsa? Good luck finding them in a sea of blue dresses and white braided wigs.

Enjoy yourself!

Seriously, Mom and Dad ... just let it go. "Frozen" is a phenomenon for a reason. It's filled with fun songs, funny characters, and lots of magic. The ice show manages to capture a lot of that and add in some really impressive skating. Don't forget to enjoy some of that while you're there.
