Disney On Ice - Find Your Hero The story centers on the idea that heroes come in every shape, size, and personality. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy host the proceedings, but the spotlight belongs to a parade of Disney heroes you already know. Mirabel Madrigal brings her Encanto family to the ice for the first time, with a sequence built around "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure." Moana and Maui share a high-energy ocean adventure scored to "How Far I'll Go" and "You're Welcome." Elsa's "Let It Go" gets a redesigned snow-and-projection treatment. Ariel's "Part of Your World" features an underwater scene that uses aerial rigging in ways the franchise has not tried before. Belle, Rapunzel, and a few surprise guests fill out the lineup. Parents/caregivers and their children will enjoy this fabulous show featuring all things Disney. Join us as we hop on a bus to see this amazing show on ice!
