Win 4 Tickets to Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic


Do you want to win four tickets to Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic? We thought so! Come celebrate the start of the holiday season with Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the Disney crew as they skate their way into hearts across America.

65 of Disney's best-loved characters take to the ice at Xcel (not that it's getting much other use) in a show that's sure to delight, young and old.

And the best part of all? To kick off the season of giving, we have four tickets to the 7pm show on Saturday, December 8 that we would like to give away to a lucky family!

Winning is simple, all you need to do is like the Embassy Suites St. Paul on Facebook, like Cork's Irish Pub on Facebook, and follow the instructions that will be posted for each page.

We'll post the above picture on each page and ask fans to like the picture and comment with why they should win the tickets. By liking both pages and following the instructions on each page, you have two entries to win. (Only one entry per fan per page will be counted).

On Wednesday, December 5, our winner will be drawn at random from among all entrants on both pages to win ALL four tickets!


The Fine Print: Contest rules and ultimate winner remain subject to the discretion of the management team of the Embassy Suites St. Paul. Only one entry per fan per page will be counted. Contest winner will be picked at random from all valid entries from both Cork's Irish Pub and the Embassy Suites St. Paul - Downtown Facebook fan pages. Cork's Irish Pub, the Embassy Suites St. Paul - Downtown, and this contest are in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Disney, Disney on Ice, or the Xcel Energy Center. Pick-up of the tickets and transportation and attendance of the show are at the sole discretion and responsibility of the winner.
