Disney on Ice Touring Shows in Florida

Disney in conjunction with Feld Entertainment produce a number of different family musical ice shows that are performed around the United States (and overseas). The shows called Disney on Ice, are ideally suited to young children.

In the fall of 2011, both Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream and Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic are being performed in Florida at a number of major venues. Prices typically range from $15 up to $50 for front row seats, though they may vary by venue/show. Sometimes there are two shows on a single day, a matinee and an evening performance.

Disney On Ice: Dare To Dream kicks off on September 2 at the Jenkins Arena in Lakeland and Disney On Ice: 100 Years of Magic starts on September 9 at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa.

During the Florida leg of their US tour, the shows travel to Orlando, Sunrise and Miami with the last show on September 25.

In all the Disney on Ice shows, talented figure skaters play the various Disney characters with songs, music and story elements from the original animated feature films.

Shows run for around two hours plus a 15 minute intermission. Note that sometimes shows are presented in Spanish instead of English so do check before purchasing your tickets.

At most shows, children under 2 are admitted free as long as they sit on a parent or guardian's lap. Children aged 2 and over must purchase a full ticket, there are no child specific ticket prices.
