Disney On Ice is set to return to the United Kingdom this winter with an all-new production. The show, titled Disney On Ice presents Discover The Magic, will glide across ice rinks from October 2026 through January 2027, visiting major cities including Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, London, and others.
What to Expect from the New Show
This spectacular event will feature world-class skating, aerial performances, and beloved Disney stories brought to life through intricate choreography. Audiences will witness stories from characters such as Moana, Coco, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, Miguel, Anna and Elsa, Woody and Jessie, and many more. Highlights include excerpts from Frozen, Encanto, and Toy Story, all described as “packed with music, movement and larger-than-life production.” Additionally, the mischievous alien Stitch will add “mischievous surprises” to the experience.
Behind the Scenes
The production involves over 100 skilled artisans and features more than 173 dazzling costumes. Thousands of yards of fabric are used, and each character is adorned with hundreds of thousands of hand-set Swarovski crystals. The sets weigh over 12,000 pounds, including a 1,000-pound staircase shaped like stilettos.
VIP Magical Pass
For those seeking extra glamour, the all-new VIP Magical Pass offers premium reserved seating with enhanced views, early access to a pre-show character meet-and-greet one hour before the event, and a commemorative collectible lanyard.
