Folks, take this as a fair warning: Disney on Ice will be rolling into town in July. Be prepared to part with your cash because the rents, aka the little ones, will soon be dictating their school holiday plans.

And those who know, know that once they get wind of the news, the Frozen soundtrack will be playing on repeat in your home (cue the Let It Go sing-along) in the run-up to the Greatest Show on Earth.

The sparkle lands at GrandWest from Friday, 10 July to Sunday, 19 July. Just in time to rescue your winter school holiday plans (and your sanity). 

This year’s show, Mickey’s Search Party, is big on spectacle and even bigger on “how are they doing that on ice?” From jaw-dropping skating and aerial stunts to immersive sets, the most screen-obsessed kiddo will be entertained.

The classics rule

There’s something for everyone. Mickey and friends are on a treasure hunt to find Tinker Bell (classic Hook behaviour), taking you through a whirlwind of Disney worlds.

Moana braves the ocean (yes, it gets dramatic). Elsa builds an ice palace mid-show (very on-brand). Coco’s Land of the Dead is brought to life in full colour. Toy Story chaos with Buzz, Woody, and the gang. And then, just for the parentals, there’s a Little Mermaid and Aladdin nostalgia.

Basically, it’s a greatest-hits tour with acrobatics, flips, and enough energy to tire the kids out before bedtime. You’re welcome!

“We’ve been looking forward to opening this show since we confirmed these runs last year, and we know fans can’t wait to join Mickey Mouse and his friends on their search for Tinker Bell,” says Tony Feldman of Showtime Management. 

See, even the adults are excited.
