What Is Disney On Ice?
Disney On Ice is a touring live ice-skating production produced by Feld Entertainment, the company behind other family arena shows like Marvel Universe Live and Monster Jam. Since the 1980s, the touring show has brought Disney stories to life through professional figure skating, elaborate costumes, and large-scale set design, performing in arenas across North America and internationally.
Each new production typically centers on a set of Disney and Pixar stories, refreshed every couple of years with new characters, choreography, and staging. For the 2026–27 touring season, that new production is Disney On Ice presents Spotlight Magic!.
What Is Disney On Ice Spotlight Magic!?
Disney On Ice presents Spotlight Magic! is a glamorous, red-carpet-style gala hosted by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. The show brings together more than 30 Disney characters across multiple story segments, folding in scenes from Zootopia 2, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., and Moana, alongside a Disney Villains showcase featuring the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Ursula, and Gaston.
The production also introduces some on-ice debuts. The opening run adds live debuts from characters tied to Zootopia 2 and from the animated series for Lilo & Stitch, including Stitch's introduction of Angel, who arrives on a chandelier for her first North American Disney On Ice appearance.

What Can You Expect From the 2026 Show?
Spotlight Magic! is built around a gala-night theme, opening with a red-carpet-style celebration before moving through a series of story segments rather than one single narrative. Expect:
● A hosted opening sequence with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy
● Scenes inspired by Zootopia 2, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., and Moana
● A dedicated Disney Villains segment
● Elaborate costuming, lighting, and set design typical of large-scale Disney On Ice productions
● New character debuts, including Angel from Lilo & Stitch
Most Disney On Ice performances run for a set block of time with a built-in intermission, making it easy to plan around nap schedules, dinner, or a bedtime routine.
If you're timing your visit around a young child or a school night, it's worth checking how long is a Disney On Ice show before you buy, since runtime can factor into which showtime works best for your family.
As with previous Disney On Ice tours, expect an intermission and a runtime suited to families, though exact show length can vary slightly by production and venue. If you're attending with very young children, it's worth checking our toddler and family guide for tips on managing a first Disney On Ice experience.
Which Disney Characters Appear in Disney On Ice?
Spotlight Magic! features a large ensemble cast built around its gala format. Confirmed characters and story groups include:
● Hosts: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy
● Zootopia 2: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde
● Lilo & Stitch: Stitch, with the on-ice debut of Angel
● Moana: Moana
● Tangled: Rapunzel and Flynn Rider
● Villains showcase: Evil Queen (Snow White), Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
● Additional appearances tied to Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, and Monsters, Inc.
Because casting and segment order can shift slightly by tour leg, it's a good idea to check the official show page or your venue listing closer to your event date for the most current character lineup.
How Much Are Disney On Ice Tickets?
Ticket prices for Disney On Ice vary significantly by city, venue, seating section, and how far in advance you buy. As a general pattern across arena tours like this one, prices typically run from the lower end for upper-level or side seats up to a considerably higher range for lower-bowl or floor seating, with additional venue and service fees applied at checkout.
Rather than quoting a single "average" price - which can be misleading once fees, dates, and seating sections are factored in - the most accurate way to know what a specific show will cost is to compare current listings for your city and date. Our ticket price guide breaks down the main factors that move Disney On Ice prices up or down.
How to Find and Compare Disney On Ice Tickets
Once your city's dates are confirmed, the most reliable way to shop for tickets is to compare options side by side rather than buying the first listing you see. A few practical tips:
● Compare seating sections, not just price - a lower-level side seat can sometimes offer better value than an upper-level center seat at a similar price point.
● Check show times carefully. Many cities host multiple performances across a weekend, and matinee vs. evening pricing can differ.
● Watch for added fees at checkout, which can meaningfully change the total cost between two similarly priced listings.
● Buy from a source that clearly lists venue, date, and section before you check out, so you know exactly what you're getting.
You can compare Disney On Ice tickets and currently available events, including listings for the Orlando premiere weekend.
