Disney On Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic

Imagine 65 of your favourite Disney characters from 18 beloved stories coming to life as Disney on Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic!  Families will be captivated as Mickey and Minnie take the audience on a magical adventure with characters from shows such as The Lion King, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and Toy Story.  With a fantastic soundtrack filled with classic Disney tunes accompanying stunning on-ice choreography, this show promises to be a theatrical treat for all Disney fans, young and old. Kicking off in Glasgow on September 26th, the show will tour the country before its grand finale at London's O2 over the Christmas and New Year period.

Highlights of the show will  include a sequence featuring 'It's A Small World' as sparkling floats turn into a radiant light parade. During the Mulan sequence an avalanche falls and a blanket of snow descends as Mulan gets ready to defeat the Huns. A giant present is unwrapped to reveal Buzz Lightyear, as he is first introduced to Woody during the Toy Story segment.  The stars of Finding Nemo mimic the natural movement of being in water as they 'swim' around the ice.

The 160 costumes used on the show are all dazzling and designed to be magical, memorable and eye catching - but Minnie's red sequinned ballgown steals the show!  Some 1,300 yards of fabric have been used to make the costumes and 102 different colours of paint decorate the props!

23 male and 24 female skaters from ten different countries make up the talented cast who will be bringing to life the Disney characters in the breathtaking skating numbers.  It promises to be a magical spectacle.
